A report by CBS News stated that McCartney’s show started in the evening and he was accompanied by his touring band members such as Rusty Anderson. Notably, no one was allowed to record the show through any medium and the tickets were priced at $50.
An Instagram post by Paul on Wednesday, February 12, stated that the show will be held for another night on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. The caption stated that the doors for the show would open at 5 pm and the show would start by 6:30 pm. It also reads:
“First come, first served. One ticket per person. Avoid purchasing tickets from third-party vendors. Fake tickets will not be honoured and entry will be denied.”
Paul McCartney shared a few glimpses from his latest show on social media
The Liverpool, England native first announced the show on his website on the same day it was held. As mentioned, tickets were sold out as soon as people heard about the performance. Paul started the show with A Hard Day’s Night by The Beatles, as per the New York Post.
Paul McCartney was on stage for more than an hour and he even spoke to the crowd before starting his performance on a few of the tracks. One of them was Let Me Roll It and he told the audience at the time:
“I can’t quite believe we’re here, doing this. But we are here, doing this.”
His setlist also included Blackbird by The Beatles and the audience cheered for him as soon as he began a solo performance on the track by playing the guitar. He recalled how he penned the lyrics of the song by saying:
“We were just kids. I’ve got grandchildren older than that now.”
At one point, Paul McCartney was also heard requesting the public to give a “Beatles scream” and they did the same. Paul even posted a few photos from the performance on Instagram around two days ago, and a few of them featured some shots of the audience's reaction at the venue. Towards the end, he included a photo of himself that was clicked outside the venue.
Paul McCartney has not released a solo album in almost five years. His last major project was McCartney III, which received a positive response and was trending for a long time on the Billboard and other charts. Before his latest concert, he performed as part of the Got Back Tour, which ended last year. The tour originally started back in 2022.
