The long awaited Paul McCartney concert finally arrived- and thanks to Adam's parents- we got to go!! It was one exciting night. We kept having to pinch ourselves to say that, yes, this was really happening. We were
really watching a real life Beatle! In person! And he was quite the performer. Rocking out and everything- at age 69! He was talking to the crowd, telling stories and joking. Funny guy. My favorite was he kept reading the signs people had written and one said, "Paul- you're in Utah- marry us?" and he said, (in his English accent I might add) "Well...
ALL of you?" He would introduce every song and tell about it, and then after he'd hold up the guitar for a while for people to see- all pretty famous and so, so many of them! Adam was in complete heaven since he's a fan of music gear. And the guy played for 3 hours! And came out for 2 encores. It was amazing! Oh yeah- he had P Mc on his drums and I liked it because it's my Dad's (and nephew's) initials exactly.
Our sweet seats on the floor! (Christie and Scott and Steve and Karen below.)
Our whole neighborhood happened to be there- Laura, Sini, Jason, Rach, Adam, John- who was doing security and let us see the playlist, Jackie and Ron. Ron is Adam's music buddy who lives a couple of doors down- this was his 5th McCartney show. He brought all of his kids. They are all huge Beatles fans too. And thanks Jason and Rach for letting us spend your 9th anniversary with you- sorry it was just burgers...

Looks like lots of fun!
I can't believe you got to go to his concert! Sweet! I still remember going to that x96 concert with you and you put my hand on that sweaty guy in front of us in the mosh pit- gross! ha ha.... The hike looked like lots of fun too- I love taking my girls on little outings like that. Looks like it is a good summer so far! :)
