Here's the McCartney SF soundcheck setlist, includes Buddy Holly's It's So Easy and Peggy Sue
http://www.maccablog.co.uk/news.php?news=7531I'm sure by now you've read online reviews, viewed online videos and photos, but here's my two-bits. We took BART, got to Embarcadero station at 7pm, walked along waterfront to stadium. Arriving at ballpark, found that unlike at ballgames, they were forcing everyone into only one entrance (probably to control entry to onfield seating), so had to walk city block to end of line, but it moved relatively quickly, and the crowd controlled those who tried to cut in. The crowd was really thick in the concession concourse. Took our seats in Sec 123 (between homeplate & 3rd base) around 7:45pm. Although the ticket had start time of 7:30, we knew he wouldn't start before 8pm. Right at 8pm the huge video screens on either side of stage started a video scroll of a collage of early Beatle/UK memorabilia with lil' video clips of vintage newsreels embedded within accompanied by club mixes of McCartney solo tunes like Goodnight Tonight and Coming Up. Finally at 8:30 the band took the stage, launching into "Venus & Mars/Rock Show/Jet" (just like his '76 tour). In addition to every Beatles song, highlights included his doing Hendrix "Foxy Lady" and telling a lil' story about meeting Jimi in '67, his stories/tributes for Linda (My Love), John (Here Today, Give Peace A Chance), George (Something) and to SF (SF Bay Blues), the flashpots/fireworks during Live and Let Die, his joking with the audience all night, and the crowd of all ages dancing and singing along with every song. He played nonstop for 3-hours.
Bonus for me, at the end we immediately left the stadium, 5-minutes later, as we were walking outside at the north corner, I see four motorcycle cops with lights on coming up the side driveway escorting a black Escalade with 8x10 sign in passenger corner of windshield "P-1," obviously Paul. They paused for a minute right by me while cops forced a car to move, so he passed 6 feet from me. Cool. In chatting with a few folks on BART home who hadn't seen him in concert before, they were blown away, didn't expect such a show. I wish he had substituted a couple songs for a couple of Wings tunes (Mrs Vanderbilt, Let 'Em In), but that's just a minor quibble. Plus I got to see him up close leaving the building, so we got our money's worth.
