I would've loved to hear Something, I've Got a Feeling, and A Day in the Life! If only I lived in California!
Great slideshow! Wish I could have been there... I still haven't made it to Coachella yet.
I featured your article this week in The Weekend Embrace: Record Store Day edition. Please come have a look!
Love,
Sarah

I'd say he's earning his keep. :) Nice pics. Paul looks like a young rocker dude in slide #2.
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!! WHY can't I live in California? A 30-plus song, astoundingly awesome setlist!
I don't think the Hendrix song was Purple Haze...
I drove all the way from Atlanta for this show and it was even better than I had hoped it would be! Paul rocks as hard as ever!
I went with some friends. I was blown away. Sir Paul was awesome. Isn't he like 62? He's still kicking like a 40 year old!
Paul is 67
hendrix song was Foxy Lady
It was incredible. He started playing 'Something' on a Ukulele that George had given him, his tribute to John with 'A day in the Life/Give Peace a chance' after telling stories about him still talking to John in his dreams. Such a beautiful evening.
This was the best coachella iv ever been to, I camped out all day to be in the frunt for Sir Paul. Actually this was the best show iv ever seen in my life and i live in LA...
My sister's and I travelled up from Toronto to see Sir Paul.
It was hands down the best night of my life.
So amazing.
