Sir Paul McCartney at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington

We celebrated Amy's birthday a bit early tonight by heading to the palatial new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to see Paul McCartney in concert. Although the sound in cavernous stadium is a bit muddy with lots of echoes, and the huge overhead display screen didn't fire up untl the final few songs (not sure if that was intentional or not), Amy was all smiles at the conclusion of the show. This will probably always rank up there as one of the top concerts I've ever been to. He is, after all, one-quarter of The Beatles!
