It is not exactly Beatlemania but news of an impromptu concert by Paul McCartney at a Los Angeles record store triggered feverish anticipation among hardcore fans.
Around 200 devotees of the British music legend began camping outside Hollywood's famous Amoeba record store on Sunset Boulevard late on Monday after it was confirmed McCartney would give a free concert at the venue on Wednesday (local time).
With tickets being distributed on the night, fans of 65-year-old McCartney scrambled from as far afield as Tokyo to get in line for the latest in a series of intimate shows planned by the superstar singer-songwriter.
"I heard there might be a concert in Los Angeles last week and as soon as I started hearing rumours it would be this Wednesday I booked a ticket," said Masahiro Sendai, a 35-year-old caregiver who flew to the US from Tokyo.
Asked why he was such a devoted fan of McCartney, Sendai replied: "It's like asking why you love your children. I can't explain it. He feels like family."
Many fans waiting for tickets are swaddled in blankets and sleeping bags. They say they monitored McCartney's official website several times an hour until the concert details were confirmed.
"We'd been checking it every five minutes until we found out when it was happening," said 43-year-old San Francisco resident Sharon White.
"My husband came down to LA on Saturday and booked a hotel, and as soon as we found where and when it was happening he came to the store and got in line."
White, who first saw McCartney perform live with his band Wings in the 1970s, gave a simple explanation for her fanatical support of the former Beatle: "It's Paul McCartney, dude. He wrote the music of our lives."
The concert is part of a grassroots marketing campaign for his latest album Memory Almost Full, which was released by coffee chain Starbucks earlier this month.
The album went straight into the US charts at number three where it has remained since its release.
McCartney gave a similar small concert at the Highline Ballroom in New York two weeks ago and performed at a small scale event at London's Electric Ballroom in front of 1,000 fans the same week.
