WEIRD PAUL CONCERT GALLERY

Here are photos from some of Paul's nearly 200 live performances! Every show that we have a photo or footage of will be represented here. Unfortunately we have almost nothing for the time between February 1991 and August 1997!! If you are one of the many people who have taken pictures of Paul onstage or the few who have videotaped Paul playing over the years, please contact us if you can provide any scans! Thanks!!
