Last night Mo and I spent an amazing evening at the O2 Arena in London with a sell-out audience listening to Paul McCartney's only UK gig - a very generous Christmas present from Dom and his girlfriend Sarah - they have 'contacts' in all the right places. The Beatles were an important part or our growing up. I remember queuing up to buy the Sergeant Pepper album the day it was released and it is still one of my most treasured posessions!
What a night! Paul included a lot of his new stuff so it avoided the mistake of being a 'Beatles Tribute Night' - although there were still plenty of the good old rocking numbers. Some of the songs brought tears to Mo's eyes, so memories were being touched deep down. The pyrotechnics for 'Live & Let Die' were scary and we were close enough to the stage to literally feel the heat of the explosions!
The band were on stage for 3 hours with a half-hour planned encore session - WHAT PHENOMINAL ENERGY! I say 'planned', because one of the 'encore' songs was Mull of Kintyre with a full pipe band - spine tingling stuff!
HAVE A WONDERFUL CRISTMAS - TERRY & MO
