Paul McCartney Chicago August 1st Wrigley Field Concert

Hey, I got a ticket yesterday to see Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field, August 1st! Still almost hard to sink in. Too good to be true. This guy is a legend. I've read high reviews and seen videos, and he's still got it. He plays 3 hour shows without a break!

And his "Electric Arguments" album from 2 or 3 years back is amazing, and even has experimental/ambient/psychedelic tracks. Each song on that album was written and recorded in one day, so that's saying a lot.

So, anyway, I'm going alone, and was wondering if any of you guys were going to see him then as well.

You can still get tickets here:

He's also playing July 31st, but I read those sold out in several minutes, so they added August 1st. So get one as soon as possible if you want one. For me, this is a lifetime opportunity considering I'm 18 and how many classic musicians I could never see live.

July 31 here - Chicago is the greatest city in NA

Wow man, you must have snagged that ticket fast. Ought to be an amazing show regardless which day, though.

Any August 1sters?

Aw man, you're so lucky! My friend snagged some for August 1st and I've been calling into radio stations all day trying to score some tickets. I heard it's gonna be one of his last shows, ever. Paul was always my favorite from The Beatles, I hope I can find the money for a ticket, or get lucky with a station! Anyways, have fun when you go, it'll be an amazing experience.

nobody on the forum here cared he was in pgh pa last sept.. haha

Enjoy..

Talk about luck, considering how I got the money. Are you in the suburbs by the way, or the city? Always hoping to find some cool, new people to hang out with. I'm in the suburbs.

And it's definitely not one of his last shows ever. Maybe just for this tour. He's working on more music and is bound to tour extensively in the future. He's healthy and has a lot of energy. I hope he lives a long life. In fact, I saw an article about him digging up the machines used for "Tomorrow Never Knows" to do new experimenting with tape loops.

I'm in the burbs, but am moving into the city in this coming fall. Which town are you?

Maybe I was misinformed then! That's just what one of my friends told me. That's sick that he's getting out his old gear! I actually just started getting into Paul in the beginning of the summer. I've always been a huge Beatles fanatic but a friend turned me onto Paul; he's wonderful going solo! I've been looking for his album, McCartney, on vinyl, but having no such luck. All record stores around my town are just stocked with Elvis Christmas records and hair bands long forgotten... I'm in love with his song, Junk. It's beautiful... Anyways... I'm getting really side tracked.. Heh...

Just put up a long reply on your profile. haha

Eep, I wish I knew how to respond back :?


Oh and I have the Anthology discs but I never noticed Junk and Teddy Boy on it! Awesome. I really like the Across The Universe take (Anth2) and the Honey Pie Kinfauns Home Demo (I think it's off 3?). Anyways, sounds like I'll have to look back into those and see what else I'm missin'!

I live a little over a mile from Wrigley which is good avoiding people pucking in my yard & beer cans stuck in my bushes ... go to many shows in Chicago so I get special offers on pre-sales ...
