Buying tickets to see Paul McCartney in 30 minutes .. God knows how pricey these will be. But, I have never seen him, have been on a bit of a Beatles kick since watching Get Back, and not sure how many more chances there will be to see him. Added bonus, he is playing in a new arena in Ft. Worth I have been wanting to see

Having seen him once, I can say I 1000% recommend it. Incredible show and I am not the biggest Beatles person (though Paul would definitely have been my favourite before the concert).

Got them ... after 20 minutes of picking a seat to just have someone snag them. $700 for 2 tix on the floor ... it better be fucking spectacular :)

Well, it's obviously 5 years later and he's 5 years older, but he played for almost 3 hours when I saw him, 40 songs.

I am sure it will be a really good show. I am declaring this a company event and can at least write the tickets off (bringing my accountant .. who happens to be my wife)

I would be really happy with a setlist anything close to that. I assume there will be a song or two from his most recent album, which I should listen to ahead of time. Concert is May 17 .. so have time
 
I imagine, I think he played two or three off his latest album in Quebec, and the songs were good, though that's not why anyone was there.
 
Never listened to a cassette, I think, but I played a lot of VHS tapes as a child. Had all my favourite cartoons on VHS, those were the times.

They were good and handy formats at the time ... but quality wise, they just suck

Yeah. As someone with very positive memories of car mix tapes, and fixing the levels so songs from different albums weren’t all at different volumes, and having to make tough decisions about what tracks to keep and lose in compilations to stay under 100 minutes, etc., I’d never go back to that shit after being able to put high quality digital files of my entire CD collection in my pocket and having them all available at any time.

Yeah, I even footed over the money for LaserDiscs before DVD came out for movies I really liked

I had enough bad situations with physical media, good riddance to all of them, we have chips and that's almost perfect.

Almost no 5"25 disks I still have work, sleeved or not.
CDs and DVDs have failed me in backup where I had redundant copies.

Tapes, and analogue media, is really ass. It gets degraded by every usage. We're fond of it, but it's an evolutionary step.

One piece of tech I have found pretty sturdy back in the day was iomega zip. But it wasn't cheap, and the truly portable version was slow.
