paul mccartney in montreal

Paul McCartney played two shows in Montreal this week. I know he's an old man now and even John Lennon said that he didn't like "Paul's granny shit", but singing along to the 'na na naaaah's' in Hey Jude along with the guy who wrote it and about 17,000 other people is something I'll never forget. We had the best time and I'm still in disbelief that, at nearly 70, Paul McCartney is running around on stage with just as much enthusiasm and energy as he did in some of the old Beatles videos. Since I went to both concerts, I was able to be really present for the first one and so I took several photos at the second, and even a little video or two to be able to remember the night. These are just a few of the pictures from that evening and some photos of fans that we spoke to outside the venue.

ReplyDeleteMina, THANK YOU so much for sharing the wonderful photos and video with us. Hubby is so sad that he didn't feel good enough to go and see him!!!! :-( It's so nice to be able to see your accounting of it though. It almost...I said ALMOST!...makes us feel like we were there. Is it okay for us to copy photos?! I won't do it without your permission. Please let me know. Thank you again for sharing the experience with us!!!!!!

He's such a legend. Looks like a great show. Nice to see you guys settling into MTL xo
ReplyDeleteAmazing. That sounds like such a wonderful, once in a lifetime kind of experience. And I love the photo of the woman's 1960s ticket -- that's a real timepiece, the ticket AND your photo!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I am so jealous!!! Looks like you guys had an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteThat video gave me chills. You are so very lucky that you got to see him!!
ReplyDeletechills, chills and more chills. i have NEVER wanted a tattoo but i think if he signed my arms i'd make it permanent as well.
ReplyDelete*arm, not arms
ReplyDeleteThat must have been absolutely incredible - and I'm completely head-over-heels in love with that girl's tattoo! Such a cool idea
ReplyDeleteamazing! what a fun time, you look so pretty / happy! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw him a few years back and still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
ReplyDeleteYes! This just made me so happy. Seeing Paul is such a magical experience, and reminded me of the time I went as well. Woo. Long live McCartney!
