I can't tell you how amazing this was for me. The set/lighting was amazing - up there with Coldplay's. Paul just kept going! It was around 2.5 hours long. Such a musician. And HIS BAND. His guitarist is AMAZING, absolutely amazing. Some of the best stage presence/personality I've seen in a LONG time. I'm still on a high. Oh, and Paul wants us to use the word "peradventure" more. So try to use it in a sentence tomorrow. :)
