Paul McCartney in Toronto prt 1

Hey people how are you? I know I haven't started my Toronto postings of the gigs - for the fact, I wanted to have Jen's Macca experience up for awhile..

I have to say, this "Up & Coming Tour' has been one of Macca's best tours ever.. this post will soon come about so, please, stay tuned..

I still haven't gotten over Mull of Kintyre- Yet, Unbelievable!

blogs new addy

Crumb, I just registered my blog with a domain name- my harleyblues2007 isn't working now; so I'm hoping I don't loose anyone in the transit!~ please stay tuned...

The title of this blog is: Sir Paul McCartney & The Beatles guest band Purple Melon

people were confusing this blog, with my online name harleyblues < Okay? Ok, I know this is crazy, I had to switch back my blog to harleyblues2007 coz, you couldn't find my blog in Google search, until it's redirected to the new domain I won't be messing with it any longer .. I believe all is OK for now..

So what happened at Toronto?

Two posts below, I had mentioned I had been posting from the hotels media center, when I had arrived in Toronto.. ( Thank Goodness for that)

I mentioned, how, Snoop Dogg, was staying at the same hotel as I - this was at 3am in the morning.
.
I had flown in that same day. I needed a good night's sleep for the 12 hour travel time.. well that didn't happen so much, as I woke up at 8:30 am- shoot..

I decided on the breakfast ( not good) than for a lil nap before I had to get ready for the gig.. after numerous calls too Jen, we had finally made contact. ( she, had our tix)
We were to meet at The Loose Moose, a local favorite.. Me above: Air Canada Center 1st night

Sept 4th - it's been a rough week and a half- this post will be updated..this coming week...

At The Loose Moose I had met up with Jen & John.. who spoke about Macca gigs and drank pints, while I, made another sign ( quite horrible I might add ) for the fact, I was tired on adrenaline ( no drugs) and the black marker was crap.. It was the best I could do for the moment..We had met several people who came from, out of the country- mostly New York.
.
Finally, off to Air Canada Center.. there were tons of people waiting inline. It was hot. It was humid. We weren't going to wait in that line, a quarter mile long.. We went thru the venue entrance.. Security stopped us, and almost didn't permit us to bring in our signs..
F man!! " But we are in the front Jen & I chimed I" They guy finally agreed and let us in...

Hell yeah! 2nd row seats!

Took our seats in the 2nd row- dead Center of Paul McCartney.. Our tickets had read, we would have isle seats.. However, they blocked off the 1st 6-7 rows making it impossible for people to cut in.. Jen & I were excited as the show began.. The set list was the same as other gigs with a few minor changes.. Paul noticed Jen & I caring on like any huge Macca/Beatle fan would do, and smiled, laughed, giving us alot of attention... ( thanx Paul)I have to say this was one of my top McCartney gigs ever.. The first being, Liverpool in 2003..


Paul Flubs Up the lyrics

Mid way thru the gig, as Paul and the band were to begin " I got a Feeling" Paul happened to look in our direction, as I held up the mini version of my sign " I Love That Song" as he began the 1st verse, Paul, was reading it.. he flubbed up the words ..
Singing the first line "I got a feeling a feeling deep inside OH NO!" ha!! instead of " I got a Feeling a feeling deep inside OH YEAH" he gave me a devilish grin.. looked at Brian, Paul and Brian laugh- looked at us.. than walked towards Abe, most likely trying to regroup. This all went down in a matter of a few seconds.. Jen & I laughed so hard~ ahhhhh That was too funny I tell you...


Sign Sign Every where a sign

Thru the half way mark, I had asked Jen, when should hold up the sign I had made at the Loose Moose? She said 'hold it up now' it was after Yesterday, I believe? Paul saw me hold it up..

People were chanting, read it read it!!! He wouldn't read it!! He gave me the most dreadful look.. Ut-Oh.. I put the sign down.. I had that sinking feeling, that he might be pissed or annoyed, I wasn't sure.. I sure felt stupid at that exact moment.. oops~

after one more song which I cannot recall now.. He mentioned the signs how he didn't want to read them, but couldn't help it.. There were many signs in the crowd.. Paul looked around & read the various signs.. he read two a teenage girl held up..' Will you teach me Piano'-
'Can I have one of your Picks?' Danica's 'Sign Let it Be on my arm' Paul, by passed my, home made sign, once again..

On my way to Toronto-a Paul McCartney Adventure!

Hey People!! It's 8:52 pm Friday night. I had to work today-got off early and ran around doing stuff, before my next adventure, Toronto, Canada~ finally sat down, and it's almost 9 pm? Where did the time go? I suppose, I should plan a little better next time..ha! why I leave everything last minute is beyond me :) Anyhow, I have never been to Toronto, and I'm getting excited to go.
.
what time do you gotta be at the Airport?
I have to be at the airport at 5:30 am-yikes! while all of you, will be sleeping in your beds happy and content dreaming of?.
ME, I'll be half asleep, waiting to board my flight, after 6 am. it's going to be a bit of an ordeal getting from Pearson airport to downtown Toronto from what I hear. I am hoping I get to the hotel before dusk.. I'm a bit cross-eyed as I type at this very mo.heheheh. Perhaps I will post a lil bit more at 4am. I cannot wait to see Paul McCartney again outside of the United States. Another adventure awaits!

What's new on the setlist
I hear, Paul & the band will have a full pipe band. Is Mull Of Kintyre going to be played?!
I LOVE THAT SONG!~ I have never heard a pipe band live; or Mull for that matter. Ohh my..Oh, I hope Paul decides to mix up the set list a bit; will he or won't he, that IS the question?

it's 3:22 am- oh man- I'm up..no lap top still.(yawn) I'd like to post from Toronto ( still yawning hard lol )

Oh Canada~
It's 2:05 pm Canada time...geez, what a mini night-mare getting here to downtown Toronto.. The city is closed off; (meaning you can't get into downtown from the freeway) so, it took even a longer bus trip to arrive here at the hotel... the freeways are jammed packed with traffic. Just found out from the front desk there is a closer airport minutes away actually..ha!!! I arrived at 6:30 pm- so in total 12 hrs of travel time..hahaha~ took awhile to get thru customs and to find my bag that I had to check. And how was your day? wondering if I can change my flight back to the states?

Is that Snoop Dog?
last night after I posted, I was in the front lobby. I noticed a crew come in.. The guy in the front looked like Snoop dog. Nah Snoop can't be here, but it sure looked liked him..so I'm back down outside today a guy asks me for a ciggy.  he way flying a Lakers jacket :) I said ' did you notice Snoop was here or? ' the guy says 'oh yeah Snoop was here for a gig' he played last night. They're on their way to Novia Scotia... the guy's name  was Carlos, Snoops drummer. Coolio, right on drummer I told him.. I would have liked to have met Snoop myself .. that's a 2nd time I almost bummed into the Dog.. told him- I was here for Paul McCartney.. Carlos said he loved Paul!.. Well, Right On Carlos (we love Paul too) drummers freakin Rawk.. Now I'd like to meet Abe, Paul's drummer.

Ok People, tonights gig at the Air Canada Center was freakin cool.. The people of Toronto so great and welcoming ..
What the hell?
about 40 mins ago the fire alarm sounded I was in a dead sleep.. the alarm was at the top floor - no fire
more too come...

The Gigs, Were some of the best ever!/ My Friend Jen gets her arm signed by Paul at Sound check.. 
Hey people, these last two gigs were some of Paul McCartney's best ever! I lost my fucking phone in a cab..& my friend Jen got her arm signed by Paul @ the sound check.. what the? I am happy for her.. I wish it was me.. but Jen deserves it!~..I swear, I didn't cry when she walked up to me tonight- me in the 14th row on the isle.. I was shocked.. more when I get back to the states..~ I have a very very early flight!!~

Woohooo Coming Up San Francisco with Macca!

Alright, I'm getting nervous, next stop for Macca & The band is San Francisco!
Every gig time, I get stressed and excited at the same time.. Does this ever happen to you? I can officially say, I am now, Paul McCartney broke as I have two more gigs to attend after this one..I am flat busted..don't know how long it will be when I will be able to attend another gig after the next 3. Like most, I have spent major bank..$$$
.
Some friends encouraged me to go..so what if your broke? You're a big fan, Go For it!! You might regret it years down the line they say. If you don't go. Sometimes I just need a lil nudge- :):) hehehehe~

A new Sign!
Made Paul a new sign. If it comes out OK?. I hope to get the sign in time..For me, a McCartney gig is not just a concert, but an EVENT! Every gig is special and magical!

Tickets? Oh Canada
Thank You CrowdSurge for getting tix to the fans- lots of worried Maccamaniacs worried about tickets.

Wish I had went for it and just bought the CrowdSurge tickets-without knowing if I was off or not for Toronto. I think it a better idea for Paul McCartney to sell via his webby...The fans are getting better seats this way~freakin Hollywood Bowl-we were shut out!

Speaking of tickets? whew! just found a ticket for Monday's show, in Toronto. yep flying there also. I have lost out on tickets in recent years. Meaning, I had extra's- and couldn't sell them. yep, freakin bummer.
happened more than a few times in recent years. Recently, at the Hollywood Bowl. Still haven't finished that blog post of the Hollywood Bowl. I was pissed. I was left with a $395 ticket. That's right- un-used. Major bummer for someone who is, just, a working girl. I hope to find tickets- for Jen & I - for Toronto Sunday's gig..

more to come..stay tuned!
McCartney~hb
