The Concert was part of the 'Secret Gigs' Tour. A series of 6 concerts in 4 countries at smaller venues, inspired by the 'MTV Unplugged' TV-show. The around 3000 tickets went for sale at Saga Billetbureau on July 15th at 10am, listed at 180,- Danish kr each, with a limit of 4 tickets per person. No phone sale. The que started to build up the day before.

The band arrived at Kastrup Airport at 4.20 pm on their rented jet TRIAIR Dessault Falcon-900 (VR-BLT), and went directly to the Falkoner Theater.

T-shirts, made for both the Southend-On-Sea and the Copenhagen concerts, were for sale in the foyer in very limited quantities, they sold out in no time.

The soundcheck started at 5.10 pm, and consisted of at least 5 songs, 4 of them easily heard from the back of the theater

A press conference was held at the venue

Setlists, taken from the stage floor. Note that High Heel Sneakers is missing from the list.

After the show, the band went straight to the airport, and departed at 10.45 pm.

Danish National TV (DR) was allowed to film 2 songs, Mean Woman Blues and We Can Work It Out. They were featured in the news the same evening. (The video also contains some rehearsels from later in 1991, they have nothing to do with the Copenhagen concert)

When I realized that my idol came to Copenhagen, I knew I had to be there. I saw him in Gothenborg in 1989, also an amazing experience, even from the back of the arena 😊

Together with some friends, I went to the venue around 5pm, hoping to be able to get close to the stage when the doors opened. Everyone was in good moods, even when we all struggled to get the best spots. I was lucky and ended in second row from the stage. Around 8pm the band went on stage to wild cheers. First set was acoustic, and everyone sang along. After the break, the tempo was increased, and the electric set opened with Twenty Flight Rock. When the band started their last song, Let It Be, an emotional atmosphere spread in the hall, lighters were lit, and people sang along.

The band said Thank You, bowed, and left the stage to loud clapping and stamping. We all wanted an encore, and the band returned and did Can’t Buy Me Love and Sgt. Pepper. We were all hoping for more, but the show was over, and people headed for the exits. I waited a while before leaving, and on my way out, I noticed a guy sitting in tailor position on the floor, repeating ‘Man, it was great’. I agreed with him !

In the summer of 1991 I was on vacation in a camper in West Jutland. During that time I got a call from Paddy Gythfeldt from DKB, asking if I would like to tune a piano for Paul McCartney in connection with a concert at the Falkoner Teatret. I was a performing piano tuner, and I had previously been hired by DKB, so it was hard to turn that job down. Thus my vacation was cut short.

Paddy from DKB said I just could show up in the morning, so we could enjoy the day in the company of one of the world's most important composers and musicians, and a hero of mine. I arrived through the back entrance of the Falkoner Teatret, had a chat with Paddy, and was given my access card. There were several security guards, and I was told that they all stayed at the Falkoner Hotel. Paddy also explained that all things containing animal products had been removed from the areas and dressing rooms, since Paul and Linda were dedicated vegetarians.

I was sent in to tune the little magic piano they had brought with them. However, it was actually a pretty poor instrument. After tuning the piano, I had to wait until the sound check was over. As I stood and listened, a guard noticed my access card and said that it also gave access to the concert hall, after which he opened the door. It was a bit exciting to be the only one allowed to watch the sound check. You could tell that the band was having a good time, and they played, among other songs, 'Girl from Ipanema'. After the sound check, the piano had to be checked all over again. Of course, I was also allowed to watch the concert, which was fantastic.

After the concert, I stood backstage with Paddy from DKB and welcomed the band in their white bathrobes. Paul greeted us politely and said ‘Thank you for tonight’. Then they hurried out to the waiting bus which took them directly to the Kastrup Airport. When I went outside, many people were still waiting for Paul, so I told them that the band had already left before the doors opened. It was a memorable day for me!
