Please bring Liverpool's finest son, Sir Paul McCartney to the farm in 2013! Has always been my greatest of wants! He has a new album due next year so he'll be touring. Paul at Roo is absolutely necessary. Let's get him while we can!
He was one of the lead singers of the freakin' Quarrymen for crying out loud!!! ;D

His last couple tours (and I'm assuming most of the time) seem to be about 60%/30%/10% for Beatles/Wings/Solo stuff.
At his Yankee Stadium show I think it was more like 75%/15%/10%, he really laid on the Beatles stuff (which was what I was hoping for).
(upon reviewing an actual setlist)....I wasn't far off. 8 out of 37 songs were Wings, a handful of solo, the rest Beatles. So that's 21% Wings, so I would expect a little more solo stuff if he's coming out with a new album.
But the fact is, you know everything he's playing for the most part, and if you've seen him before you're seeing a very similar show to the one you've already seen. And you know what? It doesn't matter. My Dad's seen Macca something like 5 times in the past couple years. He saw him at BOTH Yankee stadium shows. If I wasn't poor I would have done the same. There's just something about seeing an effin' BEATLE on stage that will never, ever lose it's magic to me.
80k people singing Hey Jude? Yeah, good luck getting those goosebumps to go down...ever.

Oh, absolutely. You'd think at some point his energy level on stage would dip. I mean, the guy's 70, but he doesn't act a day over 30. And he engages the crowd better than anyone I've ever seen live. Seeing him at the farm would be pretty special.
Also, Happy Birthday to Sir Paul. I don't know how I forget this every year, but he and my father have the same Bday, so you'd think it would be one I could remember.
It would be the biggest get ever for myself and many others. I really want his name to be the first thing I see on the poster next year. This would be something that would never leave you for the rest of your life.
"In the darkness hundreds of glowsticks streaked the air like tracer shots in war. Giant inflatables bounced over dozens of light sabers pointed skyward. Stuffed animals impaled on sticks danced above the hot crowds, puppeted by someone just given ecstasy by a friend made seconds before."
