😲😲😲😲

More from the McCartney show last night:

McCartney has never reached for the onstage swagger of someone such as Mick Jagger, but his performance was in many ways remarkable. The set included his first ever live performance of “Carry That Weight”, a song that comes towards the end of Side Two of Abbey Road, The Beatles’ final recording together. 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE CARRY THAT WEIGHT!! I HAD NO IDEA HE'S NEVER PLAYED IT!!!!

Also, regarding my previous post:

“Peter Jackson said ‘I can pull John’s voice out if you’d like me to,“ McCartney told the audience.

And so they played along, McCartney – his grey hair worn long – and Lennon, who was shot dead in New York City on 8 December 1980, for a moment seeming to have avoided that fatal encounter with obsessive fan Mark David Chapman. He was back with his band one more time, on the happy but bitter-sweet January afternoon, representing as it did, the Beatles' final live performance.
