Quoted from maccalennon

no its not new but i just think that since the arrival of the internet and ebay, it has become more difficult to get tickets for these gigs as ordinary people just see it as a business opportunity whereas before we were just completeing with a few ticket touts.

I didnt know you were having trouble  with beatleboards. whats happening?

I sent you a couple of PM's from this site. I can't log in. Keeps telling me I've specified the wrong user name or password. Even though I know what my user name and password are I thought I'd ask for a new one. But then it doesn't recognise my user name or e-mail address!

had a look and for some reason you were switched to inactive. ive changed you back to actice so hopefully it will work ok now. no idea how that happened.

Cheers Tony. Working now.

Macca's performnace will be shown on BBC2 next Thursday
at 11.20pm!!!  

yeah its highlights only though. you can hear it all on radio 2 though

It's going to be live then? cool, i will have to shout out something for you all!  

anyone thats going got any plans yet about when youre picking up the wristband and getting in the queue to get in

They hand out the wristbands at 9am thursday morning, so we have booked train tickets to london this wedneday night and will have someone scouting the roundhouse the night before, and we will go back to a mates house, then go down there when needed! we plan to queue during the day thursday, although they said they probably won't allow it, we will soon see about that!

Sounds like the touts have come unstuck seeing as they're only issuing wristbands with the credit card! Hee hee!!!

It was an amazing show! i will write an account at some stage, but for now i am too tired, but loved every second of it yesterday! or 2 days ago now! :O

What happened on stage minute by minute

19.59 - At 7pm the queue stretched halfway to Belsize Park. Five minutes to go and already the packed crowd are going wild.
20.05 - And straight into 'Magical Mystery Tour'. This is one man who doesn't need to worry about wasting his hits early in the set!
20.07 - Paul's looking damn sharp in a skinny mod suit.
20.09 - It's 'a long time' since he's been in the Roundhouse...
20.12 - He's got his mandolin out. Must be time for 'Dance Tonight'.
20.15 - The jacket comes off. Some ladies down the front seem a bit over excited!
20.16 - 'Only Mama Knows' is complemented by a string octet.
20.18 - First Wings song of the night and it's the early b side 'C'Moon'.
20.24 - Sticking at the piano for 'The long And Winding Road'. It's the first big singalong of the night.
20.29 - There are a lot of glowsticks in the audience tonight. Anyone would think we were at a Klaxons gig.
20.36 - Macca pays tribute to John with 'Here Today' and gets the biggest cheer of the night so far.
20.42 - The strings return for 'Calico Skies'.
20.43 - Paul asks for an audience wave, and he gets one.
20.48 - 'Eleanor Rigby' now and Paul's drummer is up and dad-dancing at the back.
20.51 - The Wings songs are going down as well as The Beatles ones. Band On The Run now and two headbangers down the front are loving it.
20.55 - Signs in the crowd show people have travelled from as far afield as Canada and Japan for this gig.
21.04 - Macca's band take over Lennon's vocals on 'I Got A Feeling'.
21.06 - Macca's spotted an X-Factor contestant in the audience...
21.08 - 'Live and Let Die' comes complete with pyrotechnics.
21.09 - Paul's thumping those keys Jerry Lee Lewis style.
21.11 - An impromptu baby face turns into the ultimate singalong, 'Hey Jude'.
21.15 - 'Na na na, na na na na, na na na na Hey Juuuuuude'.
21.17 - The balcony is finally on its feet.
21.21 - He's off but not for long...Back to the piano for 'Let It Be'.
21.22 - The smoking ban hasn't stopped an age-old tradition. Lighters in the air.
21.27 - The bass is back on for 'I Saw Her Standing There'. That voice doesn't seem to have aged. Close your eyes and you could almost be in The Cavern
21.31 - What a gig! You can tell this audience will be talking about it for years to come.
21.33 - Hang on, he's back!
21.38 - Macca plays 'Get Back' and then he's gone...but you get the feeling he could have gone on for a few more hours at least.

20.09 - It's 'a long time' since he's been in the Roundhouse...

I can't imagine he's ever been there. Certainly not to perform. It was closed for most of the 80's and 90's.

Sounds like a good show Matt. Did you tape it, or just stand there taking notes?

haha I can just imagine someone there with a clipboard and a pen!

That's excellent thanks McLennon! I'm so jealous- I watched the uncut showing of it on Freeview channel 302- FANTASTIC, he has really proven that he still has it in him to pull off an amazing show  

I liked the concert but his voice seemed too
loose it a bit. I thought the ICA gig was so hot & his voice was perfect but he
seemed to rush this gig quite a bit i thought. very good performance
of Dance Tonight i must admit though, & the orchestra was good when he
sang Eleanor Rigby & Only Mama Knows!
He looked great though as always even though he looked a bit like Bryan Ferry
in that suit!  

o i didn't do that minute by minute thing, that was the roundhouse people, i just copied it in here!

I took some mini vids, not good at all though!

really was fantastic, still can't beleive I was there, nearly front row! :O
