Sir Paul McCartney "was like the guy next door. Your best friend giving a show for you, and he's a Beatle." That's how WBFO's Mark Wozniak described McCartney's show at First Niagara Center last night. Wozniak is considered an expert on the Beatles, so McCartney's show was right up his alley.
WBFO's Jay Moran spoke with Wozniak on Morning Edition for his take on McCartney and some of the high moments last night...
"He started with a Beatles song, 'Eight Days a Week.' He went through it seems like the entire catalog. He did 41 songs total. It was just a fabulous show, three hours. The best show I've ever been too."
"As soon as he started playing everyone stood up. We had to stand up to or we wouldn't have seen anything. We stood for about the first three of four songs before people finally got tired and sat down."
"There were a lot of ovations throughout and of course at the very end there was this big standing ovation for him."
Wozniak says the high point of the night was "getting 18,000-plus people to sing 'Hey Jude'... He had all the guys sing, and then all the girls... I think 'Hey Jude' because the feeling was there. Everybody was so into it. It was another one of those chills up your spine moments."
