M is for Sir Paul McCartney. When I found out that Sir Paul was going to be performing at AT&T Park, home of our San Francisco Giants, I knew we had to get tickets! He is a Beatle, after all and my favorite to boot!
It was easy for us to get to the concert as the train station is just a block away from our house and it takes us to a couple of blocks away from the stadium. No worries about parking.
Sir Paul was very engaging with the crowd. The last time he had performed in San Francisco it was at Candlestick park with the Beatles. He joked about our cold summer weather. He talked about John Lennon and sang a song he had written about him, “Here Today” and also played George Harrison’s, “Something.” He sang “My Love” in memory of his wife, Linda.
He sang 39 songs and had some pretty good pyrotechnics, especially with “Live and Let Die.” I think he could have sung another 39 songs and we would have stayed!
There was a really good write up about it in the newspaper so I included that. It was a great show.
Since I never got a chance to see the Beatles in person, I am really glad we got to see Sir Paul. Oddly, I don’t have any desire to see Ringo Starr, unless of course he’s with Paul. I think a great show would be Paul, Ringo, Dhani Harrison and Julian Lennon. What do you think of that?

I’m a huge McCartney/ Beatles fan as well! I didn’t love his music when he was with wings, but in the last 10 years, I’ve really enjoyed the albums he’s put out. I got to see him in concert as well, and it was the best concert I’ve ever seen.

Was he an hour late starting your concert too? He still is such a cutieI think. Same little boy looks.

I don’t remember if he was late, but he had some horrible rapper for the pre-show. And yes, he’s still a cutie!

There are a few M singers, but McCarthy is by far the best. Good choice.

Thanks Jacqui! I am trying my best to see as many of the legends as I can since they seem to be leaving us so soon!
