> audiences on Driving USA; Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray on guitars, Abe
> Laboriel Jr. on drums and Wix Wickens on keyboards. "This band is too good to
> be just put up on a shelf; we're having too much fun to want to stop playing
> now," said Paul.
>
> McCartney's eagerness to encore the tour has delighted US promoters keen to
> take the show beyond the 19 cities played earlier this year. "Paul is putting
> fun back in life with this show," said Brad Wavra, Touring VP for promoters
> Clear Channel Entertainment, "It will make you dance, it will move you and it
> will make you believe again in the redemptive power of rock & roll. With some
> 20 Beatles songs in the set and another dozen of his hits since, seeing this
> show is like going to the feelgood factory."
>
> "I watched Paul McCartney's show four times on the last leg from start to
> finish and I still didn't get enough of this gig," said Randy Phillips, CEO
> of co-promoters AEG Live, "America is lucky to get a second chance to see one
> of the finest concerts on the road this year. I wouldn't want to predict if
> we'll ever see its like again."
>
> "Paul McCartney's show is like nothing you've ever seen him do before; this
> gig is making history now, and we want to be a proud part of that," said Jeff
> Trisler for The House Of Blues, promoters of Paul McCartney's Portland date.

Confirmed tour dates so far
He's not returning to NYC?!? That's very surprising. Atlantic City isn't too far - a good 2-3 hour drive - but...wow. And even worse (for me)...
I've never seen Paul in concert ever, and who knows if I'll get the chance again! Is anyone else thinking of going to that show?
