Dan, Emily and I went to the Paul McCartney Concert last night and it was
AMAZING... worth every penny!
Dan always lightly jokes that it was Paul McCartney that led him to me...
He and his friend Matt flew to Phoenix in April of 1990 to see him in concert. A chance meeting of a mutual friend landed him a summer internship in Tempe where we met a few months later.
And as they say, the rest is history.
I'm pretty sure that every age and social demographic were represented at this concert.
Dan and I tried not to embarrass Emily with too much hand waving, swaying and singing.
I'd never seen McCartney in concert and I was in awe at this seemingly "older" guy playing instrument after instrument and singing for 2 hours and 45 minutes nonstop.
Last minute changes to our seating section put us on the stadium floor which made for even better seats. We met up with some friends from our Southern California days who are also big Beatles fans--they sat in the very front.
Our girls have listened to the Beatles since they were babies (yes, we bought a Beatles Lullaby CD they would listen to when they'd go to sleep). They know most of the songs and so when we heard he was coming to Salt Lake, we just couldn't pass up on the opportunity to at least take Emily. Having been to this concert now though, I wish we would have brought all the girls.
Perhaps this necessitates a road trip... :)
Great memories and no doubt McCartney is an incredibly talented musician and performer!
