" April 19, 2010 -- Macca Reports News EXCLUSIVE!!
by Jorie B. Gracen
Paul plays Sun Life Stadium (formerly Joe Robbie) on April 3rd
Paul arrived for the soundcheck around 5:00pm. It was a hot day and the band was facing into the sun during the sound check. Paul remarked how hot it was but didn't seem to mind. He was very attentive to the crowd which was about 30 strong.
Miami Sound check
1. Honey Hush
2. Honey Don't - During the sound check a small plane with a banner flew over the stadium advertising Ringo Starr's Hard Rock gig for July 15th. Paul noticed it right after he finished "Honey Don't and joked, "Look Ringo is following us! And we just played Honey Don't!"
3. Miami (improvisation song inserting "Miami" into the lyrics)
4. C Moon (A 7-year-old girl was at the sound check and held up a sign requesting that Paul do "C Moon". He saw her and the sign and said he would do the song for her. "I'm going to play C Moon for Katie." Macca had an employee bring her closer to the stage during the song. The rest of the people at the sound check were behind the first section about 30 rows back. An MPL staffer told people they could not 'extend' the lenses on their point and shoot cameras during the sound check or take video.

The Miami Concert
Paul basically told the same stories as at the other concerts. The crowd was very rowdy in the front sections. As soon as Paul got on stage people in last 10 rows in the front sections made a beeline for the stage. They pushed their wayup to the barrier in front of the people who paid for the front row. Then there was a free-for-all with people pulling out cameras and cell phones to take photos. Some even brought in professional cameras and when security told them to stop some fights broke out with security jumping over the barriers to take action. Miami police were summoned to control the crowd. Consequently the front row was told they could not take photos even with cell phone cameras though the offenders were not from the front row. Then the front row was told to sit down. This allowed more people to walk in front of them. It got out of control again and security made everyone sit down and return to their seats. Paul did notice the commotion and kept looking over to see what was going on. He didn't look too pleased. He wasn't happy about the front row sitting down either though they managed to stand up later when security lightened up.
