Paul McCartney's Final Tour Rumours Let's Not Freak OUT!

Beatle's and McCartney fans knew this day would come, eventually. According to The Sun.co.uk
Paul McCartney is planing a massive, final tour, next year, in 2010. I am sad to see this happen.

Aug 1st
afternoon sometime.

Yesterday, I read the news, like millions of other people. There are rumours of a McCartney FINAL TOUR! Damn I hoped this wasn't true! Paul, is NOT, calling it quits!!!!!

The finality of it all, left me saddened and wondering? Is Paul actually gonna hang up his Hofner? The past few weeks some close friends and I, have been discussing this same issue. When will Paul call it quits? He has young Bea, his new woman Nancy, he is at a certain age, Is it coming to a point of a"Macca retirement" so he may enjoy his life besides playing for his legions of wild & crazy, diehard fans? Paul McCartney isn't gonna stop touring people! .

Is there any truth in the rumour at all? There is a great lil interview from the Washington Post, dated July 30th that seems to clear up some of the mystery as to IF or when Paul McCartney will retire.

He acknowledges that he has thought about retirement, but not seriously and certainly not soon. "It's what everyone else does, and that thought has to occur to you," he says. "Even 15-year-olds will be looking at the year 65 and think that's probably when I'll retire," he says. "But strange things happen in music. You look at people like Tony Bennett, B.B. King -- people who are as good if not better than they were. And you sort of think, oh! And you look at that as your beacon kind of thing. Plus, the thing is, I always said when people don't want to come and I'm struggling, then I have to look at it more seriously . . . I certainly couldn't just give it up like that. I like it too much."

Yep Paul, I totally agree You say the audiance is healing? Well, YOUR music, is totally healing as I have written many a time on my blog here.I can't wait to see you agian & Rawk out with you and your brillaint band!

Well, I am relieved and estatic to know Macca, isn't retiring anytime soon as a final farwell tour, indicates all over, the damn net. Diehard fans can't help but panic when the news dropped yesterday. Heavey sigh. Like Paul says- don't believe eveything you read.in the media... So rest your lil heads. Paul, isn't gonna stop touring anytime soon!! :):) Be happy, Rejoice! Happy Feet Snoopy Dance! wooohooooo!

I'm happy to READ that!

Macca Rawks Citi Field Friday & Saturday night believe that!

Note: blog post subject to updates the next few days :)
*
OK, so I am way tired right at this moment. Getting outta San Fran airport yesterday was grueling. Someone clipped me for my blackberry between the shuttle ride or JFK Yesterday. Yes, I am upset about it!!~ I hope, should some kind soul happen to- find it? I hope they do the right thing. Yeah, with all the piccies from the gigs on the fone dangit on top of it.

Funny thing is, whoever has my blackberry can read this post on my blog via my email. and if someone does, find it, and reads this post my email is : ctinaharleyblues@hotmail.com

I can pray for a good out come.. right :)

Anyhow, I will post properly about Citi Field later. I can tell you this. Paul and the band were on HIT!!! It rained hard -Friday. Billy Joel was a surprise. Saturdays gig was better my opinion. The sound quality better, much much better. The crowd also much better, As for myself. I was up near the front both nights Friday much better since I was closer thanx to security ( I know I am back and fourth ha!)

Whats up with Citi Field Security?!l
Citi Field security, lovely Friday-not so great Saturday..I didn't need to get yelled at twice!!~

What's up with that?! I am one of many who they truly pissed off on Saturdays gig..
oh I have some names. How ya gonna be nice one day and RUDE the next?! especially when I flew from Cali to see Paul McCartney twice...where's the hospitality for guests?

There was so much security at these gigs: New York's finest, Jerry a 13yr vet I met. in A1 sec. liked my hat and took a piccie of it. He was friendly. Than you had the Boss's white shirt dudes. One very friendly guy said hello twice both nights. Than the Supervisors in tan shirts. Than maroon shirt front line security. The security on Friday were very friendly in the A1 sec. near the stage. Lammont, Jim or Jimmie & others who I didn't get their names, too bad. Thank you for being a friendly, NICE, bunch. Saturday's bunch, you guys sucked!! more on that later.

Oh, did I mention I lost my tix on the way into Saturdays gig?!

more later, long post with piccies- thanx to a fan..

Piccie's from Maria Younghans aka Music Keeps Me Sane

Friday started out to be a great day with the exception on catching a cab.. hahahaha it took 45 min.s to get to Citi Field.. most cab drivers, we came into, wouldn't take us to the stadium we were getting a bit worried wodering if we would ever get to the gig.. Once there we enetered the Bullpen enterance.. the energy was high at Citi field all staff friendly & warm. I liked that!..went to sit down and saw few a fans from Paul McCartney.com they nusta noticed the hat. :). The Script, came on they weren't too bad. Love the songy "Rusty Nail" & a few others.. It seemed the Scriot were a bit nervous as Friday nights crowd were luke warm to the band. But when the lead singer mentioned Paul McCartney's name, the crowds ears perked up with cheers. I thought the Script were very good.. Better on Saturday..

I went down towards the front of the stage since I was in this sec. A1. I asked security if I may stand here during the gig. Sure, they said they didn't mind. Wow, they were a great bunch there on Friday night. Laughing and joking around they placed a guard rail up so we couldn't go past-fare enuff It was a great spot. They didn't let anyone past on friday. Until the middle of the gig. I must say, I'm down was one of the best joints of the entire gig.
.
I dropped my mouth in amazement cuz Paul has never down this one before. a huge WOW! No It was Effin Brilliant Paul!! the video posted below does it no justice.. The sound was slightly off on fri's gig however it was crystal clear & qualty on Sats. gig..Paul joked with the crowd when he first did this at Shea Stadium years ago all he heard were screams from the girls.. All the females in the house began to scream & I mean scream loud.. Well shouldn't we? heheheheh There was alot of impromptu jamin during both nights that got the fans going. Billy Joel, came on stage to the surprise of everyone sitting at the piano doing Saw her Standing There with Paul & The Band pounding the keys.

It began to rain early on. Than really hard!! hahahah I didn't mind. It was cool I thought. when fan gave me an extra garbage bag which I held over my head..Loved the rain. during Band On The Run a huge bucket or tarp posted at the front of the stage on top came down in a huge pour the band jumped back. During this time Paul & The band looked towards my direction. I think they saw me, no one was in front of me, as I waved and danced around. I was soo into fridays nights gig I had so much fun!!!! Paul asked if we minded the rain? No we all chimed. Another Highlight was a Day in a Life/ Give Peace a Chance. It was a moment. I got goose bumps I looked into the sea of people posted up top-amazing. It was a moment. as was Paul ded. Here Today to John an emotional rendition. He almost began to cry &; I said awww Paul, don't cry. This got me misty. A beautiful My Love ded. to Linda. Linda a lovely girl from New York, Linda loved New York. Paul said, This is ded. to her and all the Lovers in the house. You know who you are..

It was such a wild good time Friday night - I was so proud of Paul and the Band. woohooooo! I can't remember much more ofFridays gig. I Got A Feeling was an extended version with The guys wailing on the guitars,,,, that was truly rawkin! As was, Mrs Vanderbuilt- Got to Get You Into My Life- Day Tripper-Calico Skies-Helter Skelter. Will post, as memory recalls..hahahahaha When we exited Citi Field we went to catch the 7 train back to Manhattan. Suddenly, thousands of people began to sing a Beatles song. Trying to find video, ha!

foto's below Rick G, aka Fans On The Run www.Beatlesfan.com

So, Saturday we decided to take the 7 train to Citi Field- nice lil ride..Aafter walking under the bridge on the way to the Bull pin trying to figure out where we were? I noticed that my tickets that I had just purchased hours ago were gone!!~ Oh, HELL NO!!! We retraced our steps and than, the blackberry rings? Hello? is this christina? Yes, This is guest services- We found your tickets. OMG! I couldnn't belive it. I went over and met up with Scott seen right with me. He handed over the tickets.

Man, I hugged him and thanked him so much for finding them. Evidently, he saw the tix fell outta the bag. Wheew, close call, I had purchased these tix has tix for the floor sec. why? becuz security told me, the night before, IF, you happen to get to the floor we will let you into the front!!! wooohooo right on! So inside we went. It was decided that we would give away these extra 2 tix to fans that were seated in the 503 sec.the tip top of the stadium. This took me bout an hour to find someone who, didn't need more tix, weren't with family members or weren't paranoid. HA! I finally found two sisters sitting down in front of the rest rooms eating some lucnh. I offered them the tix and told them the story of getting the upgrades. I walked them to sec 129 Guest services, wouldn't let me walk them to their seats. I told the man, I am on the floor and showed my wrist band. We'll you need to go to the floor than he rudely said.
*
Wow, did he have to be so rude? this was the first of the day a huge difference from the day before. when people at Citi Field were so nice. So after milling around I finally took me seat. than went down and talked with security, I stood at the guard rail & waved my friend over to come and join me.. Me friend managed to get around the guard rail and too the front somehow. after several songs. I asked if I could come around the guard rail. Well Danny or Donnie T told me "No, Get back over there" WTF?! I felt the tears welling up. But security said I could?. I couldn't move. I was pissed. I even ran into the supervisor of that area, Who said Well, there is 85,000 people here they have to control the crowd.

I informed him or his guy's demeanor. Well it happens to the best of us. That's an excuse. I am only one person. I spent extra money only to be lied to by Citi Field security, What a freakin drag. All the while people were filling in around the guard rail 5 rows deep without the security tellin, THEM, to get back to where they were standing. It messed up my night as I tried to scramble to find tix, that day, for floor to Saturday night. I was trying to cheer myself up towards the last hour or so singing with Paul & The Band. I noticed Rusty pointing over my way during "Saw her Standing There" that made me laugh & smile. Saturdays gig was much better in sound quality. Paul & The Band seemed to be having fun!!!~ more details later hb~

First Show at CitiField

*
*
HarleyBlues is in New York attending the Citi Field shows. She just called in a glowing report of last night's show, the first at the now historic Citi Field.

HarleyBlues reports Paul and his band were really rockin' the stage and the New York fans. There was some rain, but it didn't dampen the spirit of the show.

HarleyBlues exclaimed that "I'm Down" was the one of the best songs of the night, so I found a video on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCQXji6DK2M

 We're thinking that maybe Paul is performing some of the songs The Beatles did back at Shea Stadium.

Special guest Billy Joel was on piano for "I Saw Her Standing There," probably returing the favor since Paul also joined him during his last show at Shea Stadium.

Other highlights from the evening:
Mark remarked that Citi Field must be in the direct path for air traffic bound for JFK airport. So Paul took advantage of the live sound effects to play "Back In The USSR."

"Give Peace A Chance" was dedicated to John Lennon. Paul also brought out the ukelele for "Something," dedicated to George Harrison.

Opening band (from Ireland) "The Script" must have been overwhelmed by the excitement of the evening. Can you imagine the exposure they will get from this tour?

There was spontanious singing at the end of the concert, while fans were waiting for the subway. Video is probably on YouTube somewhere, I'll post it later if I can find it.

I'M GIVING PAUL MCCARTNEY A HUG!!!!!!!

Then he asked me where I wanted it and I pointed and all I could say was OH MY GOD!!! Then I turned to leave and I saw Rusty and decided to give him a hug too....then I thought, well, why not the whole band!!!! So I went to Brian and then went over to Abe and told him that I saw him with Eric Clapton like a week and a half ago, then I got up and gave Wix a hug!!! ........Audrey's new Macca tattoo above

They were going to put me back in the crowd, but I was freaking out so much that they took me to the medic tent and I sat there crying with happiness and drinking water. Then when they went to put me back into my spot Paul said "Ah here she comes, all tattooed!" and was looking at me and I mouthed "I love you, I love you so much!"

I've got an appointment today at 5 to get it tattooed on!!! The reality still hasn't sunk in!!!

Michael Jackson's Memorial Macca on The Beatles Catalog

Michael Jackson's Memorial Macca on The Beatles Catalog

Hey people how are you this fine day? I have had computer problems unable to post, however I am back on now. I like to say that the meorial to Michael Jackson was touching and uplifting. I was able to view it via CNN.com. A huge thankyou to CNN for the rebroadcast.

I was touched by Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee's message. You go Shelia, that was a brilliant message! Jermaine Jackson's "Smile" tribute to his brother. I got goose bumps to such a loving tribute. Ushers "Gone to soon" than walking down to Michael's beautiful casket. That gave me chills and well up. I was very teary. Stevie Wonder's tribute was absolutely haunting- I never dreamed you'd leave in Summer" & "My Destiny"- posted below. Listen to the lyrics!~
*
Also, the lil statement made by Michael's lil girl pulled at my heart. 'he was the best father in the world' than clinging on to auntie Janet..didn't this get us all? I am really hoping if, there was any foul play as father, Joe Jackson claims, the investigators get em all. May Michael Jackson rest in Peace -now. I love seeing all the tributes!




Smile-Jermaine Jackson at Staples Center, Michael Jackson Memorial...

The Beatles Catalog Controversy
Last year I had written a post - it was rumoured Michael Jackson was ill and would he actually give back the Beatles catalog, back to- Paul?. I cannot find the orginal posty here on my blog. I will continue looking.

I than wrote a post dated Jan 4th 09:
"Oh, so now Michael Jackson wants to make it up to Macca?" .I read the snippet from The Daily Mail.co.uk than posted my own opinion. I dunno if the orginal came from the Mail? But I am gonna go out on a limb and say a huge yes. Since, this is where I first read it -on the net. As I posted via the link above? "Let's see how this all pans out" I stated at the end of my own post.

One could deduct this rumour created a fire storm with news agencies and blogs around the world running with this lil tidbit of rumoured speculation creating their own spin. Fans, have wondered? I have wondered? Since Michael Jackson's, untimely demise the rumours have swirled even further. Is it true or not?! We could all guess that Paul McCartney, reads some of the news or hears about it it some way. Finally Macca has set the record straight this past week. below

Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was going to leave his share in the Beatles songs to me in his will which was completely made up and something I didn’t believe for a second.

Now the report is that I am devastated to find that he didn’t leave the songs to me. This is completely untrue. I had not thought for one minute that the original report was true and therefore, the report that I’m devastated is also totally false, so don’t believe everything you read folks!

In fact, though Michael and I drifted apart over the years, we never really fell out, and I have fond memories of our time together.

At times like this, the press do tend to make things up, so occasionally, I feel the need to put the record straight.

Paul

hb: Paul, well, I am once again, happy to read, you. Thanx for setting the record straight. Now people can shut up and quit speculating. :) I dislike reading when people think, they know, what your feeling, how your feeling, how your thinking or have no kind of freaking empathy for anyone involved, whether it be rumour or truth. Too many judgements, one sided views and closed minds- without getting the facts straight.?! Miles of Smiles to you. That was very honorable of you Paul :)

Rawk em out In Halifax tonight Paull woohooo xx

Last Michael Jackson rehearsal plus Jackson Memorial

Ok, so it's been one week since Michael Jackson, passed away, and I am feeling sad about his passing- now, a week later. I am welling up at times. The out pour of fan tributes is very touching. I can't imagine what his mother Katherine Jackson is feeling at this time or the rest of the Jackson family, the grief must be over whelming. I saw a snippet of Matt Lauer's interview with Jermaine Jackson this eveing, very telling and honest. What a heart Jermaine is :)

Last sundays tribute to Michael Jackson on the BET awards was touching with a 4 day notice. Jamie Fox, was brilliant. I am hoping BET does a full out tribute for Michael Jackson, properly.

Last Video footage of Michael Jackson during rehearsals





Wow, this video above is rehearsals of Michael Jackson, at Staples Center, two days prior to his passing. He looks healthly. energentic, full of life, not drugged out like some of the media are claiming. What a tragic loss. I am hoping, if there is any such possibilty that Michael could see all the LOVE and support that is being bestowed upon him now. He could smile down and be in peace I feel for his die hard fans..my Respects..

Michael Jackson Memorial July 7th Staples

I don't know if this is rumour or true? The Jackson family, are planing a memorial for Michael this coming July 7th on Tuesday, at Staples Center in Los Angelos. IF, this had been the weekend, I would have tried to make the memorial, myself.. I think it would be a beautiful memorial to the King of POP ..Will you, be there?

Jermaine Jackson has confirmed on Larry King Live- There will be a memorial for his brother at Staples Center on July 7th @ 10am According to Anderson Cooper 360 you need to register online to get a ticket to the memorial service..

note: Now Debbie Rowe, is trying to get cuztody of the kids? please..heavey sigh...

Paul McCartneys memories of Michael


I first heard from Michael when he phoned me over the Christmas holiday season in 1980 and my initial reaction was “who is this and how did he get my private telephone number?”. Michael laughed and explained who it was and, as we talked and I asked him why he was ringing, he said “Do you wanna make some hits?” and that was the start of our adventure together.

He came over to England with his close friend and minder, Billy and they visited our house in the country many times as Michael and I put together the ideas for our songs together. First of all, we came up with and finished an idea for a song I had started which became Say Say Say. We recorded in Air Studios, London with George Martin producing and eventually went to California to make the video for the song. Funnily enough, I was staying at the ranch that Michael later bought and made into Neverland.

My memories are of his great sense of humour and we seemed to spend most of the time playing around and having a laugh. He became very friendly with my family and we had lots of great times together. Although we drifted apart in later years I will always remember fondly the fun we had working and playing together. My family and I send our deepest condolences to his family and, like them, we know that his great talent will never be forgotten.

hb~
Paul, that is brilliant, so lovely to read about your initial memories of Michael and you!~ and seeing Neverland, last night via telly and they speaking bout you and Michael working together at Neverland for the SAY SAY SAY video,, geeez I get chills writing this. becuz , I know you are a wonderful person Macca, and would not hold any grudges towards Michael Jackson, you are so wonderful to post such happy memories...I suppose this is hitting alot of us a lil bit harder a week later after his death. You are correct " a Great talent that will never be forgotten." I really enjoyed reading your further happy memories of you and Michael~




"Step right up c'mon  lady's and gentlemen gather around  for the Mac & Jack Magic Potion" :):)
