About
From paulmccartney.com, April 17, 2016:
July 19 is confirmed as Paul’s first ever appearance in Hershey, PA as he brings the ‘One On One’ tour to Hersheypark Stadium.
From Penn Live, July 21, 2016:
Paul McCartney performed for the first time in Hershey, and it was a trip through decades of music history.
He played 39 songs Tuesday night to a packed Hersheypark Stadium. Fans from as far away as West Virginia and New York came for the performance, which included songs from his time with The Beatles and Wings. Many of them, such as Phyllis Basehore, grew up to his music. The Palmyra woman told PennLive.com before the show that she has been a fan of The Beatles ever since they first performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. […]
Fans got a sneak peek of Paul McCartney’s performance through his soundcheck
Dozens of fans gathered along the chain-link fence that lined the corners of Hersheypark Stadium as early as 5 p.m. to listen to McCartney and his band during the soundcheck.

McCartney would also interact with the crowd in between songs even though the actual show was still hours away. […]

McCartney took a moment to talk about some of the fan-made signs that bobbed up and down at the front of the stage, such as “Maybe I’m amazed at the way you sign my poster” and “Paul, I got your ball, it’s in my pocket.”
“When you’re singing the lyrics to a song, you tell yourself ‘don’t read the signs,'” he told the audience. “If I get it wrong, I’ll blame you.”
He then scanned the crowd for more signs and read one with the words “Paul 4 President” to which he responded, “No comment.”
Later on in the night, McCartney invited two fans onto the stage. After a little back and forth with them, he gave them both his autograph. One even asked for two on her upper and forearm.
“You’re pushing your luck,” McCartney said, which got a laugh out of the audience. […]
