I saw the McCartney show in Québec City yesterday. They say there was a crowd of 275,000 people and after a wait or nearly 9 hours we managed to get pretty close to the stage. I'd say maybe 60 feet. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Paul played for almost 3 hours without any break. One song after another for a total of 36 songs. I had seen him in 1989 when he last visited Montréal . I have to admit he was just as good as he was then. Truly a memorable performance ! Just watch the videos on YouTube. We had written ''Let Me Roll It'' on a 5 feet banner and when Paul started playing the song, we lifted it above our heads. As an introduction to the song, Paul pointed at us and said something like '' they got it over there''or ''look over there''. WOWWWWWWWWW

So cool for you and 274,999 of your closest friends, Kinkcan I only wish Paulie was including Ringo for some of these shows at this point ('specially the Liverpool gig ) & also that they could patch things up a bit

Wow, KinkCan, you're on a roll -- first Ray and now Paul -- I should move to Canada. So glad you had ANOTHER great concert!!! I wish I could see Paul in a small venue like the ones Ray is playing, but you gotta go where the man plays! What a performer, he's still got IT, hasn't he? ;D

That is the cooolest KinKcan! I heard about this FREE concert to celebrate the city's 400th Birthday! Geeze.. gals, he sure does LOOK good too! almost as good as our Ray! Paul McCartney dazzles Quebec City as huge spectacle goes off without a hitch 1 day ago QUEBEC — With fans screaming for more and morning-after newspaper headlines trumpeting a conquest, Paul McCartney's concert left a mark on the Plains of Abraham. Quebec City was still spinning with excitement Monday, hours after the former Beatle dazzled the provincial capital for its 400th birthday bash. The legendary rock star lured an estimated 200,000 people to the party Sunday evening. "Merci beaucoup toute le gang," McCartney told the enthused masses in Quebecois French shortly before kicking off the final songs of the show. "Merci toute le gang, man." A youthful, energized McCartney performed 36 solo, Wings and Beatles tunes for two-and-a-half hours for the adoring crowd. His only breather came before the five-song encore. Quebec City singer Pascale Picard and Montreal band The Stills opened the show. After the concert, the father of The Stills' frontman Tim Fletcher, said it was amazing to see his son up there. "It was a mind-blower for them - for us, we're just thunderstruck," David Fletcher said. "Playing for McCartney, a legend . . . is just extraordinary. We're so thrilled for him." Fletcher had VIP tickets and found a spot right in front of the stage. "I guess I can die happy now, I've seen McCartney live in front of a crowd like that," he said. "The reception that he got, it was great to be part of that whole feeling. "He's 66 years old and he was out there performing like a 20-year-old." The colossal birthday party attracted fans of all ages, many of whom travelled to the city from abroad. "He was an idol from my youth, like so many people," Renald Letourneau said of Sir Paul. "He's an extraordinary man. We had to see him once in our life. We weren't going to wait for him to come back, we weren't going to take a chance." Quebec City native Deborah Lambert said she's been listening to McCartney since 1963, when he was one of the Fab Four.
