Who is going? I got tickets for a really good deal to see one of the all-time singing-songwriting legends in music history. Should be a great show. Just a little concerned about traffic over there.

Me! And I am so freaking excited I can hardly see straight.

We've stocked up on food and movies for the kids and their sitter and at about 4:00 pm we are outta here!

I can't believe, after all these years (ago) of being a fan, that I am going to see a Beatle! Traffic is going to be horrendous but to see Sir Paul perform I'd storm the gates of Hades.

This will complete the trinity for me:

Sinatra - Check!

Elvis - Check!

A Beatle - By midnight, if the Good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, CHECK!!

Paul put on a great show. Sang for two and a half hours straight. Since it was the start of the tour he voice was in terrific shape. And he played his Hofner!

Amazing performance, full of energy, great arrangements. And his 67 years old!

The only snag was that the doors opened an hour late, supposedly while he did a sound check, which delayed the start, but I think it gave the Wrestlemania people a chance to get out of there before the McCartney concert was over with. Traffic was not a problem.

Great concert.

I went to the concert as well, and I agree that McCartney is a legend. He put on a great show, and involved the audience on several of his songs. It was quite surprising how he rocked out considering his age ... I thought it would be more of a laid back, mellow kind of concert, but it was truly a rocking performance! The way I see it, this was history in the making because it could be his last tour ... and he's only performing in three U.S. cities before he moves on to Europe.

As for the list of songs he performed, here they are:

*"Venus and Mars Rock Show"
*"Jet"
*"All My Loving"
*"Got to Get You Into My Life"
*"Highway"
*"Let Me Roll It"
*"Foxy Lady"
*"Long and Winding Road"
*"Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five"
*"Come Home"
*"My Love"
*I'm Looking Through You"
*"Every Night"
*"Two of Us"
*"Blackbird"
*"Here Today"
*"Dance Tonight"
*"Mrs. Vanderbilt"
*"Eleanor Rigby"
*"Something"
*"Letting Go"
*"Sing the Changes"
*"Band on the Run"
*"Ob La Di, Ob La Da"
*"Back in the U.S.S.R."
*"I've Got a Feeling"
*"Paperback Writer"
*"A Day in the Life"
*"Give Peace a Chance"
*"Let it Be"
*"Live and Let Die"
*"Hey Jude"
*"Day Tripper"
*"Lady Madonna"
*"Get Back"
*"Yesterday"
*"Helter Skelter"
*"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
