Tokyo

This was the second of three nights in Tokyo.

From For Whom The Bell Tells, July 6, 2015:

TOKYO DOME, second show (April 25, 2015)

On a beautiful warm and breezy Saturday afternoon, the streets around The Tokyo Dome are lined with enthusiastic fans. Some in costumes of their favourite Paul moment over the years, many in Beatles or Wings t-shirts and they are all there to try to catch a glimpse of Paul arriving. They are not disappointed either. As Paul’s car hits the road running up to the venue he winds the window down to wave at the crowds, creating an unforgettable moment for everyone present. Just after 4.15pm, the car pulls up outside the backstage set-down point and Paul jumps out. “Hey, did you see the crowds out there?” he asks. “The fans here are so cool”. With that, he runs down the corridors to the stage to do his soundcheck.  

A little later I grab Paul to do an interview with the Japanese Animal Rights Centre about their recent launch of a Meat Free Monday in Japan. Needless to say they are delighted – and grateful – that Paul is lending his support to help raise their profile.

When the show comes around, it seems like the crowds just keep getting louder. The audience is well up for it and Paul more than lives up to the legend.
