I just read on Moby's blog, He thinks Paul & Ringo WILL be playing together! Kinda like a Beatles reunion he said..wow!

Oh man wouldn't you know it I am home from work with a terrible cold a splitting headache. After yesterdays major disappointment..I thought I would try TM for the Charity tix once again.. Since I was home (I was going to try before work)_ on the phone- what a fluke....Well I got thru on the phone & online.. Can you believe it?!?!! Yes, I did.. two tickets on the floor double letters. Much to my amazement and surprise! I was hoping the tix purchases would go thru. I now have 3 tix. I want to sell my other floor Ticket to a huge fan! but who? ..

On hold with TM
I got one confirmation ..online and than via the phone.. I decided to call Ticketmaster-good thing I did because, the automated service didn't recognize my addy...One guy from TM was kinda rude and told me my address was not valid..he put me on hold for 25 mins. I got a real nice Supervisor from TM, named Elaine..thanx Elaine..We went thru my order with success! I told her about the TM, horror I had years earlier trying to buy tickets for Paul McCartney in Miami-Ticketmaster had cancelled my 2 ticket order.. Yep, I was pissed but went on to see Paul at 3 other venues..

I have never see Ringo Live!!- The only time I have seen Ringo alive-was in LA Amoeba secret gig on Sunset, Hollywood, Ringo one aisle over:) I wanted to shake his hand or give him a hug! lol

Beatle/ McCartney Fans
Yesterday I read. there was a guy, who is visiting New York from Holland this coming April he was so devastated he could not get thru on the phone-he says lack of English trying to buy a ticket yesterday on the pre-sale..
I sent him a message that I would try my hardest to get him a ticket if I was successful today.. He is in school and will he be surprised as hell that I do have a ticket for him~ It's such a great feeling to surprise fans.. as this has happened for me in the past- a surprise ticket to see Paul in Spain..!! I'll never forget that -one of the best gigs ever up front of Macca- in the first row..

more later people .. congrats to those die hard fans who got tickets this is going to be a wicked event! I feel very fortunate to get tickets today...finding a flight is another thing..lol

Just heard from the fan in the Netherlands!...

his name is Luuk-wow is he excited.. me too!! he hasn't seen this blog yet..or the post, I sent him the link..hehehehehe~ he was so nervous at school today wondering if I was able to get tickets! :) Dang, Holland, that is a long way from the United States..

Luuk, has never seen Paul live! now he will see the other artists too... including Ringooo!
woohooo! this rawks so much!! Here is the message from Luuk, from the Nethrlands, he sent to me:

Woooohooooo!!! Harleyblues, there is no way to get my enthusiasm through PM, but I try to express it in smileys I've read your blog! Nice blog! And you were right, it was a really big surprise, and I did jump for joy :)
I still can't believe I'm finally going to see Paul live! I'm gonna see Paul McCartney....in New York....with Ringo!!! I know how hard it was for you to get tickets,appreciated!"

Well I'm am soo Happy I could help a fellow fan out-this almost made me cry-ahhh this made my day~ I have been home with amiserable cold but happened to make someones day something came out good from it, it lifts the spirits-what a fluke.

Gijon Spain 04 a McCartney experience part 7

Gijon Spain 04 a McCartney experience part 7

wrappin it up on on the Macca gig in Spain 04.

some of the highlights of the trip were these below on May 24th I walked to the Stadium you can hear sound adjustments.. I past a security guard who let me inside for a few moments to take piccies of inside the stadium. After a bit I left and went around to the back I stood at the fence at 12:15 pm hoping to see Paul & the Band with any luck. I stood there for hours. I could see all the bustling about beyond the fence.. a man walked by to get inside the gates, I told him he looked very nice.. he said "oh yeah, I have something for you"

he came back with 5 tour posters of the gig and some post cards I was totally ecstatic! & thanked him, I took a piccie of him & his back stage pass. two other people had walked up at this time and happened to be a father & daughter from the Netherlands. I gave them each a poster & a post card.

Not two minutes later Geoff Baker came around I called out to him. he was speaking on his cell phone. I asked Geoff if I could take a piccie with him.He said "Bloody hell I drank too much gin last night!" I laughed and the Doctor from the Netherlands took our picture together.. I asked Geoff if he remembered Liverpool last year when he came out of the Cavern club? a fan was stepping all over his toes? he remembered!!~ I asked if we could please take a camera into the sound check" he think about it" he said.. ( Well I had to ask at least) I also told Geoff I thought he rocked, he laughed I stated we have discussions about Geoff all the time on Paul's official site.

I stated I came from the states and he repeated 3 times " You came all the way from the states!" Yes, I told him... Geoff said Paul would be arriving around 6 or 7pm and he would be back later. I thanked him and he left.. more fans began to gather around and I told them I had met some brilliant people of Gijon.. some of the Spanish press were beginning to come around after a few hours.

Juan Carlos a journalist from La Nueva newspaper came around to interview people. He interviewed me & the father & daughter from the Netherlands. He was great.. they took our picture for the paper, I am holding the press kit. Juan Carlos let me have the kit!!~ it was getting later and finally we saw a police escort approaching.

"Here comes Paul" in a blue Mercedes Limo as he sped by.. all you could see was Paul's hand!!! about 8:30 pm I left the stadium. & headed back too the hotel... around 10:30 pm we got ready to go into the rehearsal show...we sat at the back of the stadium were Paul began his rehearsal.. Paul looked about the size of my thumb.. there was a blonde whom I thought was a little girl..twirling, dancing & bowing to Paul.. It was HEATHER MCCARTNEY after about 7 songs we left.

We listened to the full dress rehearsal, this is when we found out that Paul would be doing Helter Skelter for the first time ever live!!!! oh man! the next day we saw the article from La Nueva..it was in Spanish so we could not read it... May25th I was nervous because this was the day of the show it had been almost a year since I had seen Paul in Liverpool June 1st of last year It took me hours to get ready.

we finally left for the sound check.. excitement was in the air & some people were beginning to gather for the gig.which wasn't to start for another 5 hours! once inside we sat down.. and the band began to rehearse Paul hadn't arrived yet.. Rusty began singing about eggs & tomatoes they did a nice rendition of Living Loving Maid by Zeppelin I believe & some blues. 15 minutes later Paul entered and welcomed US his special guests.. a couple were on their honey moon and he congratulated them ... (I might forget some bits & pieces since I'm still jet lagged) after the sound check, we got to go up to the front of the stage .. I was right in front of Pauls mic!!! it was fantastic!.

after what seemed like forever, some hours later you could hear back ground music beginning to fill the air, it was about 10:30pm.. & the pre-show began.. It was quite different than last tour I enjoyed the DJ & 60's dancers I also enjoyed the remix of rock show & temporary secretary.. but last years pre show was definitely better in my opinion.. Than Paul came out with JET!!!! the front row was going crazy!!! as Paul had recognized some familiar faces in the crowd. When Paul began to sing "Long & winding road" I began to loose it they caught me on camera on that one, I gesture too Paul a sign of tears than he came out with "In spite of all the danger" my gosh we were all in shock as Paul stated:

"I'm going to sing a song that he and John wrote before the Beatles" the time of Hamburg.

Man I began to cry more as I could hear Paul's & John's harmonies in my mind.. that was absolutely brilliant!!~ When Paul announced he was doing this one for John "Here Today" he sang

I LOVE YOU three times. and almost lost it at that point. Paul was very interactive with the front rows.. He read my sign.. a few times front & back.. I screamed to Rusty that he rocked !!~ he let out a woohooo !!~ after about 45 mins.

I FINALLY got Brian's attention.. his eyes got big and he smiled a wide smile as I told him at the chat " Don't forget look for the Black MACCA top hat" the band looked very happy as did Paul. I managed to get Wixxie attention also .. & told him he rocked also!!..I was loosing my voice at this point .. Paul & the band did the best rendition of "BAND ON THE RUN" ever..

Paul looked at me and sang, so I sang back to him..

"The first one said to the second one there I hope your having fun!!"

time just stood still when Paul sang to me at that moment! can you say effin AMAZING!

My god that was brilliant & he smiled at me! I think he might have recognized me at last.. tears welled in my eyes.. they filmed us and snapped piccies throughout the entire concert. It was damn exciting. Finally to my left just one person away I saw Heathers security lady Missy. I let out a gasp because I was so close to Heather. I mouthed to Missy If I may show Heather my shirt. she shook her head slightly no than winked.. a few minutes later I said:

"Heather" & pulled out my shirt. Heather did a double take and smiled a beautiful smile & gave me a thumbs up. I think she was surprised on the outfit the hat that said "MACCA"

Heather Missy & I wearing all wearing black hats!" it was amazing.

after Paul had finished another song.. which I forgot now laughing to self.. I past Heather a letter and a rose from a fan Mary,... than got my sign & asked Heather if she would sign it. Heather said Yes & signed "Lots of Love Heather Mills McCartney" I thanked her.

I think Heather caught a partial glimpse of the back of the sign that read HAPPY BABY !!!!! next thing I know Paul was finishing up the concert with "HELTER SKELTER" wow that was amazing.. oh my, I forgot to add "FOR NO ONE" made me definitely cry.. If I have anymore to add I'll post later .. I don't have pics yet as I and other fans have pics. When we left the stadium a few of us were interviewed for Spanish telly,.. & people wanted pics with me .. I'm Not Paul McCartney! It was brilliant !

So this was Gijon Spain 04 a wonderfl night or should I say a Beautiful night for me one I'll never forget. Thanx Paul for the wonderful memories!

So some of us got to get into the Sound check walking to the stadium was very exciting! we were ushered into the stands.

Rusty was singing about tomatoes and scrambled eggs..... oh my, lmao!

they played Living loving maid.. by Zeppelin... some blues..and part of the set list! Paul said

" I'd like to welcome my special guests" there was a couple who had just gotten married.. and Paul congratulated them. so after the sound check we waited a bit than went to the front of the stage..

Me & Mary from New Jersey were right in front of Paul's mic! Paul came out with Jet.. after I yelled "Rusty you rock!" he said wooohooo oooohhhhhhhhh...lol... Paul was looking at all of us.. in the front row, read me sign and nodded his head......

That's US in Gijon Spain 04 front row me holding the sign Iv'e carried for years that was finally signed by Paul McCartney 05 HP Pavillion. Thanx Paul!

when he began to sing:

In spite of all the danger tears started to well outta my eyes.. than they took a piccie of that me, tearing up. FOR NO ONE! omg! you guys that was absolutely brilliant!! some idiot girls behind me wanted me too take my hat off, yeah right! I told em NO! the pre show I did not care for.. it was a remix of Paul's songys Rock show.. Temporary Secretary!!! and alot others.. last YEARS PRE SHOW WAS BETTER in my opinion..Paul didn't read signs out loud this time. The crowd kept chanting... the football chat! Paul made a soccer kick..

when Paul sang "Here Today" he almost lost it! he sang "I love you" 3 times, it was very emotional and moving! Paul was truly happy that night and all of us in the front were carrying on.. it was brilliant!!!! heheheh

Oh did I mention Heather sat one person away from me... I wore my adopt a land mine tee. I signaled her security lady, Misty is that her name? she nodded "no"
(as not to bother Heather) I pointed at my shirt to say hello to Heather, Paul winking. Paul finished singing his first song.

I said Heather? she did a double take as me Heather & Misty wear all wearing black hats! (what are the chances?) I pointed at my shirt she gave me a smile and a thumbs up.... after another song I asked heather if she would sign my sign? she said YES!!!! I was SO happy about that and thanked her.
I was asking Paul if he would sign that effin sign too but, he kept singing his song and smiled.. Paul was interactive with ALL of us! there was many a sign and people from all over the world at this gig! the camera guys & film crew were filming all of us! it was fantastic! I'll write more later I'm dog tired.... wooohooo

Gijon Spain a McCartney experience part 3.

Several hours later Geoff Baker returned, I told him I think "he rocks" and we discuss Geoff on Pauls official webby alot in heated debates.

"I Rock said Geoff ?" Yes, you treat the fans so well. Geoff, I have been standing here for hours, I know he said, Paul will arrive about 6-7 pm.

The media was arriving in droves at this time they were very pleasant. After the interviews of fans (the Spanish press took many piccies of us) I was in one holding a MACCA press kit. (see part 2) One journalist

Juan Carlos gave me the press kit yes, I asked him for it.lol. he was a gentleman and very friendly to the fans. An hour later Paul arrived in a blue Mercedes Limo (shown here) behind the gates. We did not have access to him..he waved out the top of the limo.
