The Beatles song that Paul McCartney said he could never play live
Paul McCartney's live shows are packed with material from his days with The Beatles and Wings, as well as plenty of solo tracks. Though he's into his ninth-decade, Paul still performs three-hour sets to huge audiences around the world.
After the European leg of his long-running Got Back tour came to an end with concerts in Manchester and London last December, Paul has announced he will be back on the road later this year. The Walton-born Beatles legend, 83, will take the tour, which began in 2022, around North America in 2025.
The tour will begin on September 29 in Palm Desert, California, stopping in places including Las Vegas, Denver, Tulsa, San Antonio, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Montreal before it concludes in Chicago in November.
Paul's most recent live appearance was at Anfield on June 7 when he joined Bruce Springsteen on stage at the home of Liverpool FC to play two tracks, including The Beatles' 'Cant Buy Me Love'.
He also played intimate gigs at the Bowery Ballroom in New York in February, which were announced at the last minute and led fans dashing to the venue for tickets. Nowadays, the shows are celebrations of Paul's entire career but his concerts weren't always like that.
When he started touring with Wings in the early 1970s, wanting to return to playing live after The Beatles retired from doing so in 1966 in order to focus on their studio work, Paul didn't play any songs by the Fab Four.
