| 1993 Paul is back in Sweden for one originally planned concert in Stockholm the 1st of October. But for some reason another one before Stockholm was made in Gothenburg. - 25th of September played for an audience of 11 200 people at Scandinavium in Gothenburg. The 31 songs he played took 2 hours and 20 minutes to perform. In the news papers the day after the concert there were headlines such as: - "The best pop songs in the world and the audience doesn't even rise!" and "Oh! how sluggish, Paul ...but McCartney fixes is in spite of the audience." - 1st of October a concert were held at Globen Arena in Stockholm. 13 000 people had come to see the show. In spite of the concert in Gothenburg this was really a hit. The audience was decided that the thing that happened in Gothenburg shouldn't happen again. This time Paul could play for an audience that really showed Paul that they liked him and the music. For 2 hours and 30 minutes he gave us one of our best moments in life and a night to remember. Between the two concerts in Sweden Paul gave a concert in Oslo, Norway. |

This show was really
something. When he started up with the old Beatles classic "Can't Buy Me Love"
the audience went like crazy. - 30th of September in Stockholm at Johanneshovs
Isstadion for a second show
