Paul McCartney says he's "ready to party" at Anfield Liverpool Sound concert

In an interview with the Liverpool Echo, Paul McCartney says he's looking forward to the June 1 show.
“I think it will be a great evening and I’m ready to party. The thing about it was, the concert was talked about last year and there were a lot of exciting ideas like Salthouse Dock. But I said to people, make sure you can do this because I’ve had experience of these great ideas – it’s great to talk them, but to pull them off is something else. I asked, 'Do you leave this facility for the people of Liverpool?' They said it was going to be filled in again, and when the figures came in it was just crazy money. We said, 'we’ve got to do a gig, we ought to do a gig,' and they changed the venue to Anfield, and I said well, that’s more practical – you don’t have to build a venue. I think it will be a really nice show and a great evening.”
He countered rumors that Ringo will join him onstage for the show and said this was unlikely. “That was never going to be on the cards. He opened the year,” he said.
He confirmed Dave Grohl will be performing with him. “We’ve got a few little surprises up our sleeve, it will be a bit different from our normal shows. Dave Grohl is going to do something with us, so that will be nice. That’s it basically. It’s not that long a show. There’s a curfew at this place, but I am doing a full set. It will be a mixture of music. The idea will be to give the audience what I think they would want.”
A few tickets are still available at http://www.liverpool08.com. Highlights of the concert will be aired on BBC2 at 11 p.m. that night.
