Paul McCartney, standing aside, takes a moment to soak in the arena-sized atmosphere filled with Beatlemania. This extraordinary event as part of his Got Back tour in the UK offers an abundance of musical delights.

Experience McCartney's Musical Journey Like Never Before

A Hard Day's Night to Abbey Road

The tour kicks off with the classic "A Hard Day's Night" and takes audiences on a musical odyssey that lasts two and three quarter hours. It concludes with a sublime three-song suite from "Abbey Road". Among the songs performed, the newest one, "Now and Then", completed from John Lennon's old demo and making its debut in the country, holds a special place. The oldest song is from the pre-Beatles band the Quarrymen's lovely skiffle era, "In Spite of All the Danger". McCartney also delves into various emotions through his songs. For instance, he talks about civil rights in "Blackbird" and emotionally sings with an onscreen Lennon in "I've Got A Feeling". The visuals throughout the show are truly stunning, even bringing Ebenezer Scrooge to tears with the seasonal "Wonderful Christmastime" complete with a children's choir and descending "snow".

Exploring McCartney's Songbook Beyond the Beatles

McCartney seems on a mission to showcase the vastness of his songbook. Some unexpected highlights emerge. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", which may not be the Fab Four's most celebrated song, triggers spontaneous mass joyful dancing. Wings' overlooked "Letting Go" is more than a match for arena-sized rockers like "Jet" and "Band On the Run", or the dazzling pyrotechnically enhanced "Live and Let Die" which serves as a Bond theme. He also reveals his romantic side with 2012's solo "My Valentine" dedicated to "my wife Nancy, who's here tonight" and an epic "Maybe I'm Amazed". "Let It Be" with the audience choir is humblingly beautiful, and "Hey Jude" might just be the loudest sing-along ever.

McCartney's Enduring Performance at 82

At 82, McCartney and the audience are well aware that his time on stage is limited. His voice has lost some power and timbre, but he doesn't look his age. He convincingly roars through "Helter Skelter" well after the two-hour mark. Clearly, for as long as he can, he will give everything he has.
