Forventningene var skyhøye, og de ble innfridd på alle måter.
Sammen med ca. 40.000 andre ble dette en uforglemmelig kveld, med mye 'chicken skin', tårer og latter. Min beste konsert til dags dato, og jeg har vært på mere enn to. Høydepunktene sto i kø. Sterkeste opplevelse, hyldestene til John og George. Mest overaskende, 'bombene' og fyrverkeriet på 'Live and Let Die'. Uforglemmelig allsang, 'Hey Jude'. Mest stillferdig, 'Blackbird'. Mest rock'n roll, en forrykende versjon av 'Helter Skelter'.
Fantastiske musikre han har med seg, Rusty Anderson (gitar/sang), Abe Laboriel Jr. (trommer/sang), Brian Ray (gitar/bass/sang) og ikke minst Paul Wickens (tangenter/gitar/munnspill/sang), og alle leverte varene.
"Kjente personer" som overvar konserten, Grethe, Jon, Jeanette, Arild, Ellen, Bjørn, Siss, Jan, Nick, Jonnemann, Hilde og Oddik.
Som en irsk anmelder sa :
I've seen Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and Madonna at Wembley.
I saw Frank Sinatra at the Docklands in London.
I saw Blondie and ELO at the Hammersmith Odeon.
I saw Bob Dylan at the O2 in Dublin.
The McCartney gig was the best of the lot though for me.
- He has the songs.
- He has the singing.
- He has the musicianship.
- He has the charisma.
- But most of all he has the songs - lots and lots of them.
It was a pleasure to be there.
I hope it's not his last tour.
But I think he was enjoying himself too much for that!
