I was at the gig in Liverpool on 20th December (second time seeing Paul), and it was amazing!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the hotel right across from the arena and could see The Albert Dock, The Beatles Story and the Liver Building from our hotel window.
We had a few days in Liverpool before the gig as she'd never been there before so I took her to Matthew Street and The Beatles Story exhibition on the day of the gig. I've since put over 100 pictures of FB of our couple of days down there.

The set list for Liverpool ...

Where in Wales are you? I'm in Cardiff. He played the Millennium Stadium last year – it was great.

EDIT - just saw in an another thread that you're from Swansea.

I'm always happy to replace videos if people point me in the direction of better-quality, full-length ones. Normally I do a quick trawl of YouTube when I publish the article and see what's around, though in the case of concerts people often take a few days or more to upload their footage.

Thanks! How can he be so fast the quality of that video is awful, though not as bad as mine. Oops. I wasn't supposed to say that

Not really, you can post your review in Joe's article about the concert you went.

Is this is a topic to make a review about his concerts?

And you were at Ringo too Johnny!!! Man oh man!!

Yeah, and it was a great night in the Armadillo, apart from being told to put my camera away by over-zealous security.

I had a work night out that day and was the but of many jokes, but I didn't care as it was the first time Ringo had played Glasgow since the Beatle days, and a dream come true for me. I've always travelled to see Ringo and always wanted him to play local to me. ...

Outstanding. Post some pics of the show here if you can.

I'll try and sneak my camera into the gig - failing that my Blackberry will hopefully come up trumps as it did at Hampden Park.

Yeah, Hampden was great last year (especially as he opened with "Venus and Mars/Rockshow" - which I *love*), and the greatest finale in the world for a Paul gig - "Mull of Kintyre" (well, if you're Scottish anyway!).

All I need now is to see Paul in London as I've seen Ringo - who's my favourite - in Liverpool (1992), London (1997) and Glasgow (2011).

My tickets for the Liverpool gig on 20th December arrived yesterday.

I'd waited 20 years to see Paul play Glasgow and finally got the chance to see him at Hampden Park in June 2010 and then when he announced the "On The Run" tour dates, I didn't think I would be able to get tickets for London or Liverpool, but I managed to get 2 tickets for the Liverpool gig. Amazing.
