Anyone from the Detroit area check out this show? What a concert...69 years old played for over 2 1/2 hours, his main set was longer than most bands entire show.

The band he has with him sound really great. Live and Let Die, Yesterday and Get Back were my definite highlights.

    I got the $39 ticket, in the 300 section...so the wife and I saw him for less than 100...would have easily paid way more. Hard to believe he's 69 and played for over 21/2 hours. It was an absolutely an amazing show.

    saw him in 2002 and 2005 and they were two of the best shows ever. his voice still sounds great and he puts on a hell of a show.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Anybody have any input on what the merch table has to offer for these shows? Anything that's specific to the venue/city maybe?

    Going next Monday and need to know how much extra $ to bring. 8-)

    They had an event specific T as well as general tour T's...$40 and up for T's, no event specific poster though...general tour poster...$10, program...$30 and other merchandise.

    I thought merchandise was pricey and T's in specific seemed small and of poor quality...so I passed.

    There were 2 other posters that were $50.
    iPad case, key chains, tote bags, sweater.
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.

    Caught one of his Citi Field opening shows in '09, and was at night 1 at Yankee Stadium 2 weeks ago. My girlfriend and I took our parents to the show (was a miracle I was able to get 6 tickets all together thanks to the presale!), and when he played "I Will" I proposed to her and she's now my fiance. She was the only one who had no clue out of the 6 of us that I planned on doing this, and it was a really great moment to share with our parents in the midst of an amazing show by a living legend, so needless to say a night we'll never forget. Was about to do it during "Maybe I'm Amazed," but I took a chance because I wanted to hold out for a Beatles song and not a Wings one, so glad I waited!!

    Paul puts on a better show at 69 than most acts do in their prime, we'll continue to see him in concert as long as he keeps playing :D
