PAUL BLOWS THE ROOF OFF AT MINUTE MAID

The next day, Connie's picture was on the front page of the Houston Chronicle, waving her sign, and screaming for the Beatles.The reporter called the group, "four shaggy-haired youngsters from Britain sometimes called the Beatles."

On Aug. 19, 1965, Connie Lawrence stood in second row at Sam Houston Coliseum and waved a sign that said, simply, "Paul." Connie was 14 and getting ready for the ninth grade at Sam Rayburn High School.
"Paul" was 23 and performing with the three other Beatles
Wednesday night, can you believe 47 years later, Connie was back in front of the stage at Minute Maid Park, and "Paul," now a septuagenarian, was singing Beatles songs again.
"I had a crush on Paul when I was a teenager. It was his looks, gosh, he was so cute, but it was also his music," Connie said.The more things change ."He still looks handsome to me."
Dozens of classics
Paul McCartney didn't just turn back time at the Astros ball field, he stopped the clock.
Wearing Beatle-length hair, though a bit thinner, a blue sports jacket and black pants with blue piping, McCartney performed more than 35 classics from his personal songbook.
Some of the greatest hits of all time.
All written by him, most of them with his old friend John Lennon
The concert lasted nearly three hours, with McCartney never leaving the stage, tearing through songs from the Beatles, his time with Wings, evolving into an icon of popular music, the brightest star in galaxy.
The crowd of 39,000 fans erupted in a swell of joy and adoration when McCartney took the stage at 8:50 p.m.
"I've got a feeling we're going to have a good time here tonight," he said.
After "Magical Mystery Tour," "Junior's Farm" and "All My Loving" (the first song the Beatles played on "The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964," McCartney took off his jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his white business shirt ("the one and only wardrobe change of the evening") and got down to work.
The hits just kept on coming.
Crystal clear sound
"Band on the Run," "Got To Get You Into My Life," "The Night Before"...........
