Went to last night´s concert. It was a brilliant . Paul did alot of his songs from new work to his brillant Graceland. Probably the best song of that was the brillant (Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes)The stage set great. For the Diamonds song her had Jack of Diamonds on a Horse. Also did alot of his old songs Late in the Evening,50 Ways to leave your Lover and Gone at Last. The best song was Dazzling Blue (my favourite) of the new album.

Did some great covers as well my favourite was (Here comes the Sun). He even thanked George Harrison. It one of my favourite Beatles songs anyway. If though he only did 2 S/G songs Sounds of Silence and Only Living Boy in New York. Know alot of the audence would have liked some more but remember he did not have to sing any. I went to see Natalie Merchant last year and she did no songs from her 10,000 Maniacs days. It still was a brillant night. Natalie and Paul are my idols in music.

As the set was coming to the end I was dancing with group of women and men was surprised was not told to go back to my seat. Did feel that this is probably the last time I will see this Great Man in England. I care about one thing Paul´s Health. Was worried about cancelled show that could have been Manchester Show.

Do think that everybody enjoyed the show he gave us a great night. THANK YOU PAUL xx
