Paul McCartney fans who got to check him out last night at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale seemed to get a lot of bang for their buck, judging by the abundance of positive Tweetage after his show.

Check out some video and photo footage from the show below, along with what people from around the Valley were saying about the show. (And read our review of the concert here.)
