I am also one of the lucky ones who have been there. I have seen Paul in 2004 and now the second time. It was the first time I had to fly somewhere only for a concert - really expensive fun, but it was worth each cent.
Paul at the age of seventy is in top form, puts on 2 hour 45 minutes show without one weaker spot. His singing is great, the band is amazing. It has been writen many times and I can only repeat and confirm it. The setlist has been quite smilar for the past few years, but I think no one complains, I mean we all WANT to hear the warhorses (right?), plus Paul always throws in a couple of surprises for each tour to keep it fresh (as writen in the previous posts).
Having seen many shows on DVDs I have to say that the shows don't vary much, he introduces each song pretty much the same during each show, he teases the crowd to repeat after him the same on each show, after Live and Let Die Paul makes the same "No, no, you are too loud" gestures as on the Good Evening NYC DVD and so on, but he does it in a way that you believe him he means it. It is a well rehearsed show which after the years got to the point where it is perfect and I would go and see it again immediatly. So I hope Paul will return to Europe again in one or two years and I am sure I will be there whatever it takes (whatever it costs :-) )
One interesting thing happened at the end - Paul singned three items to people in the front row at the very end. He actually encouraged them: "Gimme..." I think the security must have handed the things to Paul, since there was about 4 m gap between the stage and the barrier. I have never heard of Paul doing so...cool.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took:
