Best 3 hours of my life.
I finally got to see Paul McCartney on Sunday. As the title says, it was probably the best three hours of my life. Looking back at my pics and videos and other people's videos, I get all teary-eyed. It was just so unbelievable. It really couldn't have been any better.
Our seats were awesome, we thought row 25 was going to be a lot farther back than it was. My sister and I were freaking out at how close we were. We were in a good area, too; everyone sang and danced along :) The woman next to my sister first saw Paul (with the Beatles) back in 1964!
(My sister got way better pics than these lol)

I could ramble on and on about how great these songs sounded live and how awesome the setlist is, but that should just go without saying, right? He did a tribute to Hendrix, George, John and "My Love" for Linda. I will say that Live and Let Die was super exciting 8D Hell... they all were.
He talked to us quite a few times with stories and some jokes ;) He had us repeat what he said at one point and as it progressed we were making some weird noises and barking lol. 'Twas all part of the fun. Actually, that's in the Something video I linked to hahaha. I regret not filming him talking with a Russian accent lol.
Personal highlights were Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five(!!!) and Mull of Kintyre. He doesn't play Mull in the US, so it's not common to hear and he had a bagpipe/drum band come on stage with him for it ;___; And, of course, Hey Jude. Nothing can beat doing the 'na na na na' part with 20,000 people when Paul and the band stop playing.
He was just amazing. I really can't express it properly. Best concert I have ever been to, without a doubt. I will forever hold on to the confetti I caught after The End ;_____; If you ever get the chance to see him - GO!
The stuff I bought (I didn't get the vinyl there):
3 shirts (the two black ones have tour dates), tour program, my ticket and my confetti :)
My cruddy Hey Jude. Me, my sister and the dude next to me lol.
I might upload the rest of the vids... maybe not. Idk.
I can't believe it's over ;___________;
