From paulmccartney.com, December 4, 2009:

[…] Paul played his second sold out show in 48 hours at the O2 World Berlin last night. Another hit filled set went down an absolute storm and saw him appear on the front cover of Berlin’s biggest daily paper the Berliner Morgenpost with a glowing review.

On his 48 hour whirlwind trip Paul also found the time to take some German refresher lessons, which meant he was able to address the audiences in their native tongue. This went down a treat and the crowd showed their appreciation right back at Paul. He also dedicated songs in German to John, George and Linda.

German national newspaper Die Welt reported: “Sometimes the touring artists get it wrong and twist the names of the cities. The venues look alike, the people and the cities too, but Paul McCartney makes no mistakes”. Talking about the show itself they said, “We see a different Paul to his last tour. On one hand he is playing with more fun, and on the other he works with more dedication. This is so much more than an evening with a living legend music box. When Paul sings ‘Here Today’ alone with his guitar, it’s not only him who has to hold back the tears.”

The tour continues, next stop Arnhem Gelredome!
