Move over Tina Turner, you’ve just been replaced as my “Favorite Concert Ever.”

Last night was an evening with the one & only… Sir Paul McCartney!!!
Yes, the Living Legend himself played at Wrigley Field last night. For nearly 3 hours straight!!!
No breaks. No theatrics. No costume changes. Just incredible songs from his immense library.
And it was magical. So endearing. So enduring. My best evening at Wrigley Field ever!!!

So we got to Wrigley Field and the place was a buzz. The entire neighborhood was crowded
and quickly turning into a huge block party! Although it was still quite hot & humid, there was
a nice breeze blowing through our section of the stadium. For awhile…

And then the crowd went crazy as a wonderful collage of McCartney memorabilia began
to scroll down the enormous LED screens. Everyone thought that the show was about to start.
Little did we know that it was going to scroll for about 30 minutes!

And then the show began… and Paul McCartney was wonderful.
He came out with a sport coat on, but with the heat & humidity, that quickly came off.
He made light of it and rolled up his sleeves to get down to business. Sweating through his
shirt, he never stopped. No costume changes for this guy. Just great music!

Endless songs. One classic right after another. All of the McCartney classics.
Many from Wings… and more than I expected from The Beatles. Every one a classic!
Every time a new song began, I was giddy with excitement. Especially when my all-time
favorite Beatles song began… just a few noted in and I was screaming for “Obla-Di, Obla-Da.”
They just kept coming… I never stopped singing… with a silly childlike smirk on my face. The
evening was incredible. He sounded great, looked great and was so personable & endearing.
Great stories shared with the crowd. Great interaction. So incredible to hear the 40,000 people
all singing along with his classic songs. Imagine how that most feel like for him?!
And then the fireworks began… with “Live And Let Die.”

So, after three hours of performing, the 69-year old finally finished his show.
Sweating like the rest of us, and not a single break for a drink of water?! Plus two encores
of three songs each. I didn’t want the evening to end… and with his extensive collection
of songs, I’m sure he could have gone on forever. And I would have been thrilled.

Sir Paul is playing at Wrigley Field again tonight. If you have a chance to score a ticket,
by all means do!!! You will be so glad you went. A chance to see the Living Legend.
I’m even considering going back tonight to camp-out just outside of Wrigley Field for
a “free” concert… another night with Paul McCartney?!!! Could it get any better???

Amazing… simply amazing. And now… my favorite concert ever!!!
