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.

A fan drawing. Paul pulled her up on stage and signed this for her.

A woman shows off her tickets to see The Beatles at The Maple Leaf Gardens in 1966. The price was $5.50! 



This arm belongs to a girl who was pulled up on stage last year and made the autograph permanent.
Ridiculously excited before the show.

  2. Mina, 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!!!!!!
