Posted June 27, 200718 yr Fans camp out for Macca's free show PA Entertainment Hundreds of Paul McCartney fans equipped with folding chairs and sleeping bags lined the street outside a Hollywood record store to secure a seat for a free show by the ex-Beatle. Toni Johnson, 55, standing at the front of the line wearing a Paul McCartney concert T-shirt, had flown in from Chicago and had been in line since Monday afternoon. "It was noisy, cold. I was trying to sleep upright in a chair. I'm on two hours of sleep," she said. "But for Paul, it's worth it. His music touches my soul and puts a smile on my face like no one else can." Sir Paul will play an all-ages concert at Sunset Boulevard's Amoeba Music at 7.30pm local time today (3.30am tomorrow BST), his spokesman Paul Freundlich said. "This has not been finalised, but we're likely looking at a minimum of 300 people inside," he said. Released earlier this month, Sir Paul's newest album, Memory Almost Full, has sped up the US Billboard charts and ranks No 3. The album, his 21st solo work, received impressive reviews from critics for its blend of nostalgia and melody. An impromptu gig by Sir Paul two weeks ago at the Highline Ballroom in New York City sparked talk of a tour, but he has no tour plans at this time, Freundlich says. Have any of you seen Paul Live in concert before?
