It was Paul’s first trip back to Toronto in five years and the Sunday night concert was only Macca’s 10th show in Canada as a solo artist since 1976.

And that anticipation was met as a rash of autograph collectors and their crews descended upon Toronto all in hopes of achieving that coveted Sir Paul signature. Unknown to most, McCartney actually arrived in the city late Saturday afternoon and rehearsed at a venue close to the ACC. While McCartney was pleasant with a smile and wave to the few collectors present at this practice venue – he didn’t sign any autographs on the way in or out.

When McCartney arrived back to his Toronto hotel after the first show – There was just too many people for Macca’s people to even consider him signing.

It would turn out that McCartney would only sign once for the hounds on that trip to Toronto, and that’s just before Paul exited the city at the private airfield after the second show. While close to 100 collectors raced to meet Macca, he ended up signing for just over a quarter of them – and they were some very nice signatures indeed.

And I and some helpers were fortunate to get some nice items signed. Like this Capitol Records issue of the Beatles, RUBBER SOUL. While this album shows some wear it is considered one of the most critically acclaimed releases in the Beatles discography. Paul McCartney beautifully signed the album cover in black sharpie after the show in Toronto.

A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS OF PAUL SIGNING: HoundsTV always strives to provide photographic proof of our celebrity encounters. Paul McCartney can be difficult to shoot on some occasions. Most times, Paul’s security requests NO PHOTOS be taken when Paul is signing for the collectors. As the presence of cameras has disrupted signings in the past and to respect the wishes of Mr. McCartney – photos of Paul signing can be rare. But we have got them many times before.

While McCartney’s last concert in Montreal was in 1989, many did make the journey to Quebec City during the summer of 2008 when Paul played a historic concert in celebration of Quebec’s 400th anniversary. Over a quarter million people saw Paul play that day and HoundsTV was there when McCartney left the hotel.

We were there again as McCartney arrived into Montreal, Canada in the early afternoon during the day of the Bell Centre show this past week. But it was on Paul departing the city just before midnight he stopped at the private airfield and signed for the few collectors that managed to assemble there.

We got this Beatles Rarities album autographed. This is the American version released on Capitol Records and it’s best remembered for featuring the famous “butcher” cover album photo from Yesterday… and Today. Paul McCartney beautifully signed in Montreal the butcher photo which appears in the gatefold of this Rarities album.

I really have enjoyed the times I’ve managed to catch up to, and collect a signature from Sir Paul McCartney. You really can’t get much bigger than a Beatle.

From my very first time hounding McCartney in Toronto in 2002, I have traveled to a few places in the world to see Sir Paul. You don’t always get lucky. Many nights McCartney is just not in the mood for signing autographs. And he is signing less and less Beatles memorabilia each year.

But then there are the good days when McCartney enjoys greeting fans and signing a few autographs while out on tour.

Such was the case when Paul McCartney stopped to sign this original album cover of Abbey Road [$1,750] Paul autographed this album after a concert at Dallas Cowboys stadium during August, 2009 in Texas. Also note this was one of those rare times when McCartney signed his full name, “Paul McCartney”

(HoundsTV – April 4, 2009) Filmmaker David Lynch’s benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall was a rare coming together of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Perhaps one of the more controversial scenes from the HoundsTV documentary series. When ex-Beatle Paul McCartney made a rare appearance on Canadian soil – Brad was taking out all the stops to try and get Sir Paul to sign some autographs – including bringing out young autograph helper – Billy. But some people feel using kids for getting autographs was just not fair.
