Up and Coming Tour wrap-up
Written by Brian on Jun 21 2011 at 04:47 AM | Paul McCartney
I’m so happy to be home on a foggy June day in So Cal and writing to you all on the occasion of the “Up and Coming Tour” wrap-up newsletter.
2010 and 2011 saw us travelling all over the place, from Glasgow to Mexico, the White House to Rio and all points in between, through all 4 seasons. Some people believe language separates us from each other as much as geography but I am fortunate enough to witness how Paul’s music erases continental divides and cultural splits more that any diplomat on any jet plane ever could. All of a sudden, with a few lyrics, 12 notes and a count off, we are ONE.
People in Santiago Chile who don’t speak English knew every word (sometimes better than I) and sang out from a deep and personal place… Then, while looking up to the majestic mountaintop just behind the stadium in Lima, Peru, we spotted camera flashes going off from way up there. We learned that hundreds of people from a little town on the other side had hiked to watch us from their tallest peak and you can find videos of us playing in the stadium below taken from there on YouTube.

I’m blown away by all I have seen from up on the stage. Thank you all for coming and making this such a memorable tour for me and for each other.
Love,
Brian
