PAUL MCCARTNEY

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, 2012
BC PLACE – VANCOUVER, BC
Doors: 6:00PM Show: 8:00PM

Sir James Paul McCartney born 18 June 1942 is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame as a member of the Beatles, and his collaboration with Lennon is one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century. After the group's break-up, he pursued a solo career, later forming the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and singer-songwriter Denny Laine.

The Ex-Beatle’s concert, scheduled for Nov. 25, was confirmed by promoter Live Nation.

Macca’s “On The Run Tour” stop will be his first appearance in Vancouver since The Beatles played at Empire Stadium on Aug. 22, 1964, alongside The Righteous Brothers and Jackie DeShannon. The set lasted only 28 minutes before the Fab Four ran off the stage.
“It was complete pandemonium,” Vancouver music legend Bruce Allen at the announcement, recalling the rush of fans at the gates of the stadium almost 50 years ago. “This will be an event remembered by music fans in Vancouver forever.”

McCartney’s BC Place concert, which has been in the works for three years, is one of only two dates announced for Canada on this leg of the tour, the other being Edmonton Nov. 28.
“This is why we do what we do,” Live Nation Canada president Paul Haagenson said at the announcement. “When you think about the sheer impact this artist has had on an entire generation, it’s absolutely staggering. Almost every person in this city and this country has an emotional touchpoint to Paul McCartney and The Beatles.”
by: Vancouver SunNovember 25 will end Paul’s near 50-year absence from Vancouver, the BC Place show being his first in the city since The Beatles played Empire Stadium in 1964, while November 28 at Rexall Place will be the first Paul McCartney concert ever in Edmonton, yet another On The Run date bringing Paul McCartney to a new locale for the very first time–the latest on a list already including Abu Dhabi, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay and more.
