I hadn’t seen this before now: Paul says, “I love you, John” leading into singing “Now and Then” (immediately after having sung “Here Today”) in Montreal on 11/18/25 🥹
It feels like a conscious effort on his part to publicly speak those words at this point in his life…… a declaration he needs to make for himself, and for John, it would seem 🗣️ And you can hear the raw emotion in his voice, particularly as he says “John.”
Anyways, excuse me while I go sob now 😭🫶
PS: This instance ⬆️ = imo is even more direct than when Paul said “Yep, I finally got to say: I love you, John” @ his New Orleans concert on Halloween, see here ⬇️: (https://www.tumblr.com/nimabe321/807383321197821952/yep-i-finally-got-to-say-i-love-you-john)

(between “Here Today” & “Now and Then” performances.) …. His voi
In all honesty I haven’t never had a more emotional and intense experience than at the concert of one of the greatest musicians to ever lived. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to see this and will never forget it.
I was reminiscing about the Paul Show™️ and remembered the ABSOLUTE VIBE of a DJ who spun Beatles/Wings/Solo Paul before the show and I looked him up his name is Chris Holmes, but he doesn’t really have a Spotify. He has a few mixes on SoundCloud but the quality is HORRIBLE. Does anyone know anything more about this….?? Where to find more…?? Much to think about
Last night was sooo special. I honestly don't have adequate words to describe what it meant to me or how it felt.
I don't know if it's because I cried, or because I was losing my mind while Paul was performing, or because I was wearing a very flavorful outfit a la Lennon - but one of the crew slipped a piece of paper under my boot while I was singing away. It was the setlist 😭😭😭
The fact that someone witnessed me living out my dreams and decided "yup! That's the one right there!"....really just meant so much to me.
I'm thinking about writing the venue to tell that man THANK YOU. When I caught his eye, we thumbs upped each other with a smile. It was just lovely.
If my night had not already special enough, this really brought it full circle.
Some more little details of the night that I loved below the cut
The keyboardist had a glitter lava lamp on his deck 😊
The younger crew working the arena were dancing like loons during Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite and I loved it
Seeing some of the older folk there just losing their minds too, having the time of their lives
There was a guy there holding a sign that only said "143." I was glad when Paul explained that this guy had seen him live 143 times 😳 jelly, though
There was a moment when Paul was about to start a new song and he kind of fumbled getting his hands to the right place, and he said "I knew what I was doing, I was just waiting" lolol. He's so silly.
An older lady told me how much she liked my outfit as soon as I got there and she wanted to take my picture 😭 I said no cause I feel like that's a little odd but it was so nice nonetheless cause I really went for it and loved my outfit
Seeing so many people dancing - I've been to a lot of shows where the crowd is so tired that it almost feels insulting
Seeing all ages and a completely full venue
This girl in front of me, also solo, laughing at Paul's silly little comments. It wasn't the ones people were picking up on, it was the laugh of someone who be knowin things. I was like this is my kind of girl right here, I wouldn't be surprised if she is in this fandom.
During Coming Up, there was this group of people who would were holding up these neon paper cut outs of 60s looking flowers every time he said it. Soo cute
And honestly looking at this photo and seeing so little phones out is incredible. I mostly had mine up too but I totally had to record some for my mom
There was this one time when they were panning through the crowd on the monitor and in the middle of everyone having a blast there was just this guy standing there like this 🫥
Oh! And they panned to this little family and the little girl was SOOO excited, it was in her eyes and she was jumping up and down, waving excitedly. I loved it. I was so happy for her <3
When Paul was reading signs he said he often gets "sign my arm" but one last night read "sign my butt." He was like "that's too far." Let it sit a beat and then some "well c'mon now, let's see it" or "let's have a look"(? How have I already misplaced the words lol)
There was some lady in a full Sgt Peppers Paul costume including wig and stash lol. Dedication
And someone in Paul's MMT vest outfit!!!
These two fellas in the crowd wearing "Paul is dead" shirts. It was cheeky, but I was also like hmmm...he's a bit too old for us to be making that joke 😬
He said Nancy was in the crowd! I have no idea if it was true, but that's awesome
The flags across the stage, of course.
My god, during Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! They played this terrifying CGI thing of the Sgt Peppers album cover bro I almost shit my pants 😭 it was seriously creepy lmao I can just see him having been like "yeah, this is great!" Like when they released that god awful deep fake video of him dancing lmaoooo
All of it. Every little thing. (Wink wink, see what I did there?)
