On September 25th, after being denied access in 1969, Paul McCartney became the first "Beatle" to preform in Israel. This was truly a big affair. The concert was held in Park Ha-Yarkon - a huge outdoor venue in Tel Aviv. Malcolm and the crew arrived at 2:00PM. At 4PM, they were treated to a 45 minute sound check that was amazing. Paul played full songs and "kibbitzed" with the crew. The crowds were allowed access at 5PM - see the lady with the walked in the picture. She was part of the rush to run in and grab a spot. People paid $150. for standing room and had to wait until 8PM for the concert to begin. The concert its self was amazing. By concert time the crowd was thick - close to 45 thousand people. People were dancing and singing and having a great time. Definitely worth the ticket price.
