00:00 I had the idea of a print meet and I'm going to go back to it.

00:19 We're here early really just to get to see behind the scenes, behind the curtain a little bit,

00:23 to see him do his thing without everyone else in the stadium

00:27 and hopefully try and get some sort of interaction with him.

00:29 And have you seen him live before?

00:31 No, we haven't. No.

00:33 No. Once in a lifetime.

00:35 Well, it's not a big queue so far, so you might be in luck, maybe even first or second row.

00:40 How do you feel about that?

00:41 Amazing.

00:42 I'm really looking forward to seeing one of the icons of music.

00:46 And have you seen Paul McCartney live before?

00:48 Yes, once before. I think he was out in 2017.

00:50 Yeah, brilliant. And you're one of the first in line here at Newcastle.

00:54 Can you tell me why you're here almost five hours before Paul comes on stage?

00:59 Well, we're coming here early for the soundcheck.

01:01 We've first to package one of those once in a lifetime opportunities we had

01:04 and came a little bit early to enjoy the moment.

01:07 Third time I've seen Paul McCartney.

01:09 I saw him in 1975 with Wings at the Horton Pavilion.

01:13 Saw him in the early 90s in the Sydney Entertainment Centre, so this will be my third trip.

01:18 I've been a Beatles fan since the age of three

01:20 and I'm really excited about hearing all the songs tonight.

01:24 That's more than 30 years then since you've seen him, so you must be pretty keen to be here.

01:28 Oh yeah, I am very much so.

01:30 To have seen him in the 70s and the 90s and now in the 2020s is a big thrill.

01:36 Do you have any favourite memories from those earlier shows?

01:38 Yeah, in 1975 I was a month off for my 16th birthday

01:42 and it was my first concert and it was just fantastic.

01:46 In the early 1990s I was a teacher and went down to Sydney again to see him.

01:53 That was a great show.

01:55 And again now, so great memories.

01:58 I've got all the albums, all the singles, read all the books, so a huge fan.

02:03 So you know all the songs, you're ready to sing them?

02:05 Oh yeah, I don't know about singing them but because I play in a band too

02:09 I appreciate all the musicality of the songs.

02:12 Yeah, amazing. Do you have a particular favourite?

02:14 It's hard to pick a favourite because there are so many good ones.

02:17 But I think I saw her standing there, very early one, off the first Beatles album,

02:23 right through to the Revolver album, Got To Get You Into My Life which she's doing tonight,

02:29 and right through to Abbey Road.

02:31 So I'm here with Lennon and McCartney who have met for the first time today, is that right?

02:36 Yes.

02:37 Can you tell me what you're excited for about this show?

02:40 I'm excited for all the now music and all the wonderful lights.

02:49 Amazing.

02:50 And my mum said last time there was fireworks, I'm really looking forward to that.

02:56 Amazing.
