Somewhere, I read that Paul reserves "Mull of Kintyre" for Canadian/Scottish descent crowds! It was truly epic!

It was an incredible night, and my 2nd Paul Concert! (The first being the Quebec freeshow, with 300 000 of my closest friends!)

I'm still floating!

Now that's what I call a freakin' encore!

He's playing Fenway Park August 5th and 6th. Maybe I need to overpay for some seats there.

I just overpaid for two seats for the August 6th show at Fenway, and I was happy to do it. Crazy. One of the world's most famous musicians, doing an out of this world set at the most venerable park in baseball (sorry Cubs fans, a little bit of ivy doesn't cut it :evil: ).

Stoked!

I am sooooooo envious of you all in the East, and very sad that he won't be playing within 1500 miles of my location. :( Oh well, one can hope there will be another leg of his journey to be announced before year's end.
