Sir Paul's reply: "Shea Stadium, New York, with a good sound system."
Martin Berka of Finland asked if he worried about touring with priceless instruments like his Hofner bass.

Sir Paul's reply: "No, there was not enough time to be nervous as we got there late."
Michael of the USA asked now long it took Sir Paul to prepare for the Glastonbury concert.
Sir Paul's reply: "All my life."

Sir Paul's reply: "It's different, a different kind of excitement."

Sir Paul's reply: "Not really, we didn't really do many festivals."
Nick Crewdson of the U.K had the winning question (personally selected by Sir Paul). He asked how he thought the Glastonbury appearance may have changed his image among the younger generation.
Sir Paul's reply: "Maybe many of them hadn't seen me play live before. I got a lot of good feedback from younger people after the gig. We had a ball."
Nick's prize was an autographed copy of Sir Paul's soon to be released (November 5) book Each One Believing - On Stage, Off Stage, and Backstage.
