Paul McCartney and Beatlemania Still Live
Although you can tell he has aged he still knows how to make the woman scream and is the soft spoken gent he has always been.

Last week I was blessed with Paul McCartney tickets at Fenway Park in Boston. An early birthday gift from my thoughtful brother.
I had never been to Fenway so was excited about that but seeing one of the Beatles was to me a dream come true. I was just a babe when they came to the United States back in 1964 and never got the privilege to see them in concert.
Now in my 40’s I got the chance to see Paul McCartney. At 64 years old the whispers were wondering if a man of this age could possibly bring to the stage anything worth watching.
I must say for 64 years young Paul still has all the right stuff! Amazing sound and the beauty of his voice made me want to weep. All the songs he played brought the audience back to 1964 when the Beatles were high on the charts of success.
He arrived on Stage dressed in a black or dark blue suit. Handsome as always with a smile on his face. Welcoming Boston to his show. After a few songs on on that warm summer night he decided it was time to shed his jacket and underneath he sported a red pair of suspenders. You know what they say about a man who wears suspenders they are romantics! With fans on their feet and girls screaming as loud as they could he played for over two hours nonstop.

His venue ranged from old Beatles song, Hey Jude to Wings, Band on the Run. It sounded as if the entire group was once more in the stadium. When I closed my eyes I could see the Beatles singing to me. With pictures of John, Ringo and George flashing in the back ground tributes was made by Paul for all the fallen Beatles. To the right of the stage were red neon lighting up four walkways in remembrance of what used to be. Beautifully done and much appreciated by all.
Although you can tell he has aged he still knows how to make the woman scream and is the soft spoken gent he has always been.
He spoke to the audience great words of what happened back then and of the members themselves. Even though it is 2009 Beatlemania still lives on.

You are lucky Linda. I lived in Liverpool throughout the Beatle era and did not manage to see any of the Beatles in person, though I visited the Cavern where they started out. Paul is a great singer.

You sure he’s still alive and kicking? I mean, after the Mystery of Abbey Road?
