Got that email too. It's the west coast's turn - hopefully he decides to come back to NYC

Here's some candy:



I hope he comes to Northern CA - LA is a long way away.

Paul McCartney: 'I'm not retiring'
Former Beatle denies tabloid reports that his next world tour will be his last
Tabloid reports last week (July 31) stated that the former Beatle was on the verge of announcing details of what would be his last tour, which would apparently see him call at unusual venues including China's Tiananmen Square and Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie.

In all fairness I did put a wink. he's flip flopping... he's a flip flopper!

from what I read it looks like he is/has been playing sort of special venues citi field, the bowl, fenway, their talking about wrigley now too. maybe this is it, so far as a tour is concerned. (probably not when you consider the eagles, cher, cream, the stones, etc....but... whatever)

it sounds crazy that he hadn't been there in so long.... George Michael Ouch!

I found this blurb about Australia not too much detail I'm afraid and it's dated around the same time as the others above

I saw The Who at their "Farewell Tour" in 1983.

In all fairness I did put a wink.

All I'd seen was the tabloid headline..... I actually DID think he was retiring.

Here's to Paul.... May he enjoy hundreds more "Farewell Tours"

[rickendelic]

Here Here!

More shows have been announced, including dates in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately, for us US folks he's already scheduled UK dates for June - hope that doesn't mean it's just those few dates for the US...
