Going to see Paul McCartney in Winnipeg on Monday or Regina on Wednesday night?
Here are some useful resources (with a Regina bias as that’s where I’m located)…
Local News & Info
- TicketMaster’s Paul McCartney – Regina FAQ (PDF)
- City of Regina Traffic & Construction Notices regarding the concert
- “McCartney’s First Regina Concert Sure To Be Memorable” – Regina Leader-Post
- “Last Minute Cheap Tickets In Winnipeg Disappoint Fans” (me too for the record although that’s the risk you take – I can’t believe McCartney can’t sell out Winnipeg or Regina but the Stones can do it here twice. Not sure if its big concert fatigue, the fact that the show’s mid-week or what. Disappointing anyhow – I thought the show would be a massive sell-out on the first day – although I’m a bit biased. But still, the best-selling, most successful, most influential artist of all-time? Sure, his concert might not have the pyrotechnics or pizzazz of some of the other top concert draws but still…)

My Own Thoughts
- Some of my own blogging mentioning “McCartney” including the “10 Songs I Most Want to Hear at the Concert” (based on the Setlist.fm stats for the current tour, I’m likely to hear all the songs on my list except “No More Lonely Nights”, “Calico Skies” and “Mull of Kintyre” (which I find out is a song McCartney only plays once per tour and only at shows in Canada or Scotland!)
- For the longest time, I’ve combined two of my great loves by collecting any and all books I come across about the Beatles. Here’s a shot of the collection as it stands today…
- Oh, and a special message for Mr. McCartney in case he spends time surfing the net before his concerts…”Thanks!”
