When asked “So, how was the Paul concert” a million and one emotions and feelings come over me. WOW!! Such an amazing experience I have no clue where to even start. I start by saying it was one of the most moving, exciting, emotional concerts that I have ever attended. Then a rush of emotions of the night seem to come flowing out all at once. Some call me a “GROUPIE” or “CONCERT JUNKIE”… I like to consider myself a “Band Aid” better known as Penny Lane from the movie “Almost Famous”. I have attended hundreds of concerts from every genre of music, and ten already this summer. It is said.. “Music washes away from the soul, the dust of every day life”. This is definitely a true statement. There is nothing more surreal then being in the presence of a living music icon. Being that this was a “Green Concert” everyone was to take Marta, walk, or ride your bicycle to the event. We start walking with other hundred’s of people all attending and finally arrived at the venue. You walk in and tons of vendors are surrounding you. The smell’s are so intensified you can taste it. The sun is shining, what a gorgeous day for a concert in the park! While walking around, you see so many different people all here for the same reason. What a wonderful feeling!! Many dressed in Beatles and Paul paraphernalia and others dressed up in different stages of the Beatles. We find a perfect section of the green to set up our blanket, embracing the sounds of nature and conversation. The opening band comes on to pump the crowd up. It was a local band from Ireland, “The Scipts”. They for sure get everyone pumped up for Paul with great music. Slowly but surely the time has arrived for Sir Paul to come on stage. You look in the sky to see a few black thunder storm clouds beginning to roll in. No worries though, rain always makes a concert more interesting. Then you hear the roar of the crowd as Paul and his band makes it to the stage. YAY!!!!! What a rush of excitement. His set list for this concert was absolutely amazing. A little of the Beatles, Wings, and some of Paul. He ends “Let Me Roll it” with Jimi Hendrix’s “ Foxy Lady” and then a story of their friendship. Every song became a story as the concert continued. Reminding us that this weekend, was the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Everyone starts chanting and you look around and everyone is dancing barefoot enjoying the sounds of Paul. He continues with “My Love” explaining that he wrote it for Linda and when you look around you all the couples start dancing and swaying as one. While playing “Black Bird” you can just smell the rain coming in and then all the sudden it downpours!! Not a moment too soon or too late. No one moves except to the sounds of “Blackbird singing in the dead of night”. The rain didn’t last too long and no one seemed to budge. What an amazing feeling being there with thousands of people singing, and dancing in the rain. Even after 40 years, the mood never changes. The night went on with an amazing version of George Harrison’s “Something”, played on a ukulele given to Paul from George, while brief pictures of George and some with Paul scrolling in the background behind the band. Everyone united as one as “A Day in the Life” plays followed by “Give Peace a Chance”, A huge peace sign appears in the background and everyone joins in with their hands in the peace sign. Then all of the sudden Sir Paul starts to play “Live and Let Die” with an amazing fireworks show. The band ended the concert with 2 encore performances but I have to say the best was the “Sgt Peppers Lonely hearts Club Band” “we hope you have enjoyed the show,.. were sorry but we’ve got to go… we’d like to thank you once again” followed by “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”. You may say I’m a dreamer but again and always, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!
