   Well, of course Deb and John and the twins saw him in New Orleans two weeks ago.

      Jeff, the Buffalo Paul McCartney Concert sold out in minutes! This is probably the last time McCartney will perform in Western NY.

   Yes! We just saw him at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. I had seen Paul once before (the “Flowers in the Dirt” tour—don’t remember the year, but I think it was before we had kids), but this time there was a much more emotional quality to it—perhaps because all of us (including Sir Paul) are getting older or because my own kids were there or because there’s something wonderful about being united with thousands of people singing “Hey Jude”—but I felt I wasn’t just going to a concert but participating in an event. I thought the show was worth every penny we paid for the tickets—which, believe me, weren’t cheap.

      Deb, I’m with you on the worth of the Paul McCartney concert tickets: worth every penny! And it’s nice you were able to share the experience with your twins!

   I’m so jealous!!! I remember my first concert was the Beatles first Hollywood Bowl concert, back in the early 60s. Mom and a friend of hers drove us up. I went with a neighbor boy, country singer Ferlin Husky’s son Danny. We had nosebleed seats and couldn’t see much, but had a great time. Glad you were able to go.

      Maggie, I was surprised when I learned Buffalo was on Sir Paul McCartney’s tour schedule. As you might imagine, the crowd was fired up from start to finish!

   The day I first really felt I was old the day I heard some kid say. “Paul McCartney? Didn’t he used to be in Wings?”

      Jerry, the irony is that WINGS made millions more than The Beatles did. And Paul McCartney is still touring…

         Accounting for inflation? Of course, Wings hung around for a while. (I’m quite sure they made more money than the first recording lineup of the Moody Blues.)

   I bet no one saw (as opposed to heard, which I didn’t really do) Paul earlier than I did, which was February 12, 1964 at Carnegie Hall.

   God, I’m old.

      Jeff, you and Maggie saw The Beatles perform live in the Sixties! I watched them on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW…

      My first concert was the Beatles at the Hollywood bowl in August of 1964, so you’re the first

         My birth month. I had to catch up with them later (not that it was particularly easy to not encounter their music at any point since).

   I never saw the Beatles and I probably would have hated listening to all those airhead girls screaming through every song! I do have a vague recollection that a ticket to the Shea Stadium concert circa 1964 cost about $6.00!

   Hi everybody!
   After a few weeks in hospital – without internet access – I’m happy to be back and trying to read all that’s happened in the meantime.
   Re the Beatles on their first US tour in Florida 1964:
   They were supposed to play a concert in Jacksonville – to a segregated audience and when they found out they just said: No!
   So the concert was desegregated at the last moment …

      Good for them. Another hope you’re healed up, or getting there.
