New Paul McCartney Out There Tour Thread (Part Two)

Pre-sale for the concert in Brasília began an hour ago. The most expensive tickets sold out in less than 30 minutes. Regular sale will be tomorrow at 7 AM.

 

I've been awake since 4:20 AM for the Brasília pre-sale, and then the surprise announcement came at 9 AM of the Rio de Janeiro concert, with the pre-sale just two hours later!
Now it's 10 PM and I'm still so excited that I'm not feeling tired yet.
The next couple of days will be hectic for those who will try to buy tickets during the general sales for those two cities. I'm glad I'll be able to rest.

 

Announcement: Brazil has just announced a 3-day holiday to allow the nation to recover from the pre-sales and sales of Paul's upcoming concerts. More importantly, scientists at Brazil's top institutions are working on holding back the Earth's rotation so that Paul will not have any curfew during these concerts. That way he can play for 24 straight hours without anyone missing a day.

Going to see Paul tonight in Jacksonville. Going with a non-fan, so I hope he's in good voice.

This was one of the shows that was rescheduled due to his illness, so I've been holding on to these tickets for quite a while now. Really looking forward to the show!

 

I hope you enjoy it. He was apparently in good voice in Dallas and Nashville, so hopefully he will be today.

 

With the good results experienced at World Cup, and with the Olympics a 18 months away, do you think security will be better? I have relatives in Brazil and have been tempted to see a show there but have always been concerned about security as a "gringo"

 

Thank you! The last thing I need is for him to sound old with someone I'm hoping to spark a little interest in his music!

 

His new songs are great too! The 2nd song is Save Us! Very cool.

 

Have you been to a recent show? How many acoustic numbers are there? As a country fan I suspect she'll respond better to those than the harder rock songs.

 

I saw a couple shows this summer. One was in Missoula. My best friend's daughter went, because her partner is a big Beatles fan. Daughter (23-ish?) sent me a text after that said "I thought he was amazing! 72, yeah right."

 

This sounds great! I know his voice isn't what it was, but if the whole show sounded like Early Days I could see that really turning her off.

 

Don't forget the crowd effect. When 15,000 people are going crazy, having a blast, that kind of adoration is contagious.

 

OMG no...he doesn't sound like Early Days. Do you not look him up on youtube? Yes, I've been to a few shows this year...he only does a couple accoustic. But I would not say he's hard rock so he will not turn her off.

 

Yeah, I've looked up some shows on Youtube, but I know that his voice can be luck of the draw. So I'm hoping tonight is a good night for him!

Sounds pretty darn good to me!

 

I just found the full concert for Dodger Stadium...not that you should watch this now!

 

Yeah, I might need to hold off on this one. We're going to be leaving shortly to hopefully beat some traffic and get decent parking.

 

Have a great time!

 

I have met several fans from different countries at Paul's Brazilian concerts and they had no complaints about security. You should definitely come, you would have a great time.

Tuesday night! Louisville, Ky! The mayor declared it Paul Mccartney week with special events like Denny Laine &Laurence
Juber performing over the weekend. It'll be the 4th time I've seen him & I can't wait!

 

Tokyo Dome from 2013 is up as well complete. Shame it's only 360. I'll say it again......GO. You will NOT be disappointed. You will be cranked up after seeing this show.

Oh, the next show is not until tonight? I wonder what he's been up to since Nashville last Thursday... Taking it easy in Florida?

 

I know he spoke to students at Rollins College a few days ago: http://baynews9.com/content/news/ba...cles/cfn/2014/10/23/paul_mccartney_to_sp.html

 

Okay, that sounds great. But how about this question. It really looks like Paul is never going back to Australia. He travels over the whole world, but seems to have been avoiding Australia for more 20 years. It's getting ridiculous, and many of our Australian members on this Forum have complained about this.

So here's my question: I know that Brazil is a large country. But is it large enough for all of Australia to fit into it? I propose that the whole population of Australia should move to Brazil. This would only have to be for a few years, but it would allow everyone from Australia to finally get to see Paul, as his "home away from home" now seems to be Brazil. Sounds like a simple solution. ...
