    I Saw a Beatle: Sir Paul McCartney Concert Review

    Well, I went to another once in a lifetime concert last night in Columbus, Ohio.
     
    My best friend Jamie McClintic and I saw the one and only Sir Paul McCartney!!!
     
    I have seen many people in concert, but never a Beatle!
     
    He played a 3 hour set with no intermission, playing songs by his band The Beatles (the most important and influential band ever), his band Wings, and lots of solo songs.
     
    The whole show was a highlight, but some of the biggest ones for me was when he brought out his former Beatles band mate George Harrison’s ukulele and played his song Something.
     
    Also, when he played Blackbird, Helter Skelter, Eleanor Rigby, Let It Be, The Long And Winding Road, Band On The Run, All Together Now, Hey Jude, The End.
     
    Heck, every song was a highlight, like I said.
     
    Including the songs from his latest album from 2013, called New.
     
    His band is solid, and he still sings, plays, and looks phenomenal!
     
    He thanked the audience often, and seemed to really be having a ball.
     
    And to show you how fan friendly he is, near the end of the show, he brought some fans onto the stage, talked to them, hugged them, and even signed a woman’s neck, and her husband or boyfriend’s arm.
     
    Another woman came out with a sign asking Paul to announce to the crowd that she is pregnant.
     
    He did and gave her a hug.
     
    What a class act.
     
    For someone as rich and famous as he is, he did not have to do that.
     
    I honestly cannot find the words right now to explain to you that this was another amazing concert and life experience in general!
     
    If anyone has not seen this man, PLEASE go and see him!!
     
    He is the best.
