Here's a report direct from Halifax of Paul's soundcheck in Halifax tonight.
Thanks to Patti Murawski, who is there, and Kris Tash, who relayed it to us:

Hi, Steve!

I just got a call from Patti up in Canada. She is there with her roommate and they got to hear (and somewhat see!) Paul's soundcheck in Halifax!!

He arrived at the venue around 8:15 p.m. and the soundcheck went on until approx 9:45 p.m. They were standing at the edge of the park, and were able to even see some of it on the screens around the stage!

Here is a list of the songs:

• Hi Ho Silver (singing Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia)
• Let Me Roll It
• Coming Up
• Drive My Car
• Only Mama Knows
• Midnight Special
• San Francisco Bay Blues
• It's So Easy (the Buddy Holly song!)
• C-Moon
• Celebration
• The Long and Winding Road
• acoustic jam
• Mull of Kintyre (done 3 times with the piper band!)

The girls saw him leave after the rehearsal.

They said temperatures are pretty chilly up in Halifax tonight, but there are already some fans camped out and prepared to spend the night! Doors to the park open tomorrow at 3 p.m.
