If you make it, please, let us know where you'll be! I'm definitely buying you a beer!

[bersey]

I'll be on the floor. But I don't need the beer. Don't want to have to go to the bathroom during the show.

Gotcha - well maybe some nachos or something? Just want to be able to show appreciation for taping the show.

I'm happy to buy the man a water or something if he's not drinking as well, to show my appreciation

We're staying at the La Quinta Inn - Conference Center. Apparently, it's downtown. Anyone know if this a good spot?

Yep, I've stayed there before. Really nice place. Maybe 10 minutes from the venue, if that.

Really nice views of the city if you get a higher level room.

Anyone going to see Sir Paul this Saturday?

My wife and I will be there, sitting way up in the only two rows of seats that were 45 bucks each. I'm taking pocket sized binoculars, ha. Surely they'll let me in with them. We're pretty excited to see a Beatle! There's some great vids on YouTube of the shows that Paul Mc has performed so far this tour.

Here's a drone fly-by of the Verizon Arena to help scope out the parking situation, for those of us who've never been there, such as me.

Any ideas on when instants will be assigned??

[gryspn41]

We're staying at the Best Western in N. Little Rock. Looks like a nice enough place. Lots of good reviews.

[chadizzy1]

A page back I mentioned before the DMB show we're going to hit Skinny J's prior to the show. Good food and good beer selection. Probably planning to be there around 5. It's maybe a 5 minute walk to the arena, if anyone wants to come grab a bite and a beer before the show.

Address:
314 N Main St, Little Rock, AR is the address

I'll likely be there, comin in from Memphis. Probably arrive around 3-4.

[DMBFan8888]

We'll probably drop by for a beer or two as well.

Quick question for a little rock newbie, is the "pit" separate from the "ga" floor?
Thanks

In Verizon Arena, the floor is all one big GA area. Any show I've seen there with Pit and GA offered, there was no separation and everyone just piled into the floor area. It's a huge area and I honestly have never even seen it full.

Just saw Paul McCartney's bus. Closest I'll ever be to a Beatle!

Are you at the show? I'm about to head over there.

I'm in 112. Row 11, seat 3. Pretty decent seats.

Naw man couldn't swing Paul McCartney, DMB and Coldplay. Looked like Little Rock gave him a huge welcome with all the signs around the city

[tyler3440]

Wow really only 2 weeks left boys!

[tyler3440]

Then the party starts

[chadizzy1]

It was insane. From start to finish, non stop great song selection. One of the best live shows I've ever seen in my life.

At the end before an encore song he even brought people up on stage who had signs that he found interesting. One couple came all the way from Japan and the guy proposed to his lady. I was like yeah, Dave would never do this

But that setlist, my goodness it was powerful.

[chadizzy1]

For those who couldn't make the show - here's the full playlist of all my videos from last night.

Songs included - Maybe I’m Amazed, Birthday, Blackbird, Can’t Buy Me Love, Eleanor Rigby, Hard Day’s Night, Here There And Everywhere, Hey Jude, I’ve Got A Feeling, Lady Madonna, Let It Be, Live And Let Die, Love Me Do, For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Back In The USSR, We Can Work It Out, Yesterday, You Won’t See Me.

Sir Paul is still the best show I've ever seen. The Stones come in a very close second, but Paul is still amazing.

Wow, great job on all of the Paul McCartney videos, Chad. I realize how time consuming that can be. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE concert. The weather turned out to be perfect, too. The stories and backgrounds Paul tells before certain songs were a terrific part of the show. I just wish Dave did a little more of that. Blackbird is my all time favorite song, and the fact that Little Rock played a big part in the song's history, made the night that much more special. You could tell that it meant a lot to Sir Paul, too, especially since he's never played the city before.

My ears are still ringing! After the "Live and Let Die" explosions and flames, it was amazing that the smoke cloud filled the entire roof of that giant facility, all from just one song. We were sitting at the very top in the back, and there was still a very strong smell of propane in the air. Pretty cool! And no, it wasn't hippie lettuce,...Ha! However, there were numerous skimpy and groovy flower child outfits in the crowd,...not that I noticed! Also, I've never seen such crazy lines for merchandise sales in my life, they must've made a fortune. From the yell of the crowd, it sounded as if most folks traveled there from out of state, but considering that it was to see and hear a real Beatle, that understandable.

We stuffed ourselves, and enjoyed Saturday's Special of a bucket of beer at Skinny J's, which was great, so thanks for the heads-up about that place, Chad. I would have yelled out to locate you, but the place was so jam-packed and noisy, I don't think anyone would've noticed. We luckily got a table just before the waiting line started going out the door and down the sidewalk. That Irish Pub down on the corner appeared to be fun and packed also, as everyplace in that neat historic section of town seemed to actually be. We drove back to Branson after the show and didn't arrive until 4am, because it was so dang foggy. We can't wait to return to Little Rock for the DMB.

[chadizzy1]

I love Skinny J's. Anytime I'm at Verizon I eat there.

Gonna be seeing a lot of Verizon Arena over a 3 week period. Saw Paul last week, taking my kid to Disney on Ice there this week, and back for DMB next week

[gryspn41]

Got Section 204 Row 7 off Warehouse Instants. Not bad, just looking to get in the door for this one!!

[aparker507]

Could have done better on ticket master easily

[aparker507]

Also seems like Verizon got more of the bigger acts this year than the AMP

[gryspn41]

Sons of bitches. That 5 minute drive to the AMP was so nice.

[tyler3440]

It's highly unlikely but since management is doing to warmup videos it would be cool to get something from the 03 little rock show.
