Paul McCartney

I took some time out to go to this with a few friends, we were blessed with some last minute tickets...It was a fantastic night...the only dampner was that we had to walk for ages till we got to the end of the queue, then stand in that queue for hours and missed two of the Zutons songs... as they only had one turnstyle open at Anfield for some reason, which was very bad organisation. We also had restricted viewing, but fortunately two of our friends who were seated in a different section from us and were able to see the full set and video it, so we were able to see a bit more before going off for our meal. He promises to email me the video, so I'll look forward to that. One musician friend is fanatical about the beatles and took us on a guided tour of all the famous Beatles landmarks, quite an experience and he was a well informed and enthusiastic tour guide.

Good fun visiting Mathew Street and "The Cavern", and some great architecture on our way down to The Mersey.

Sir Paul McCartney took to the stage in Liverpool to mark the city's Capital of Culture Year.

The 65-year-old began his set at Liverpool FC's Anfield Stadium with Hippy Hippy Shake, followed by Jet and Drive My Car.

Dressed in a black, sixties-style suit, the former Beatle said to the crowd: "Thank you for coming tonight - in the city of culture -at the centre of the universe."

The show, called Liverpool Sound, was opened by The Zutons, with a set list including Valerie and Why Won't You Give Me Your Love.

The audience were then treated to the Kaiser Chiefs, whose songs included Ruby and The Angry Mob.

Lead singer Ricky Wilson joked with the crowd of Paul McCartney fans: "Now a new song, though I realise they'll all be new to some of you."

Comedian Peter Kay welcomed Paul McCartney onto the stage, saying "It's my duty to reveal that Britain has got talent."

All 45,000 tickets to the Capital of Culture 2008 showpiece event were sold out, and the audience filled the Anfield pitch and three stands, including the Kop.
