With the buses ready to roll, the assembled fans take their seats for the ride downtown and talk ecstatically about the living legend they're about to see. Some of them sing.
After the show, however, the revelers are completely spent. The usually stoic Chris Carter admits: "I had to put my sunglasses on a couple of times during the show so my cool friends couldn't see my eyes welling up with tears." Earlier that day Carter interviewed Macca over the phone for broadcast the next morning on his show. "It's an interesting combination of extreme excitement coupled with an underlying calm that instantly happens when he speaks to you," Carter says. "Being that he has a new record out, he's promoting just like he did with the Beatles and you feel that he needs you – even though he doesn't." Carter pauses. Except for the rumbling of the engine, the bus is completely quiet.
