Fireworks, a virtual duet with John Lennon, and an already legendary choir by the public of the classic theme hey jude (1968), were some of the highlights of the concert offered last night by Paul McCartney. Just a few days after his 80th birthday, the former Beatle celebrated the most massive performance of the Glastonbury Festival, which this year celebrates its half century somewhat late, an event postponed by the pandemic.
On stage, for about two and a half hours, McCartney performed 36 songs, 21 of them part of the Beatles’ repertoire. The recital started with Can’t Buy Me Love and ranged from his first songs to his latest recordings. McCartney had two very prominent guests: Dave Grohl, the singer of the Foo Fighters, and Bruce Springsteen. With Grohl, whom he introduced as his friend from the West Coast of the USA, he sang I Saw Her Standing There Y Band on the Run. Springsteen—”my friend from the East Coast”—accompanied him with Glory Days Y I Wanna Be Your Man.
McCartney, one of the most important composers of pop music in the 20th century along with John Lennon, paid tribute to members of the Beatles throughout the concert. He touched somethingby George Harrison, and I’ve got a feeling with John Lennon, in a virtual duet. The performance closed with McCartney, Grohl and Spirngsteen on stage playing TheEnd, of the disk abbey road. Glastonbury Festival will close today with a performance by Diana Ross.
