Paul wowed fans at a
concert in Uruguay late Saturday, performing classics from his long
career and dazzling the crowd with his rendition of "Let It Be".
Opened the Montevideo show- part of the
"Out There" world tour- with "Eight Days a Week," a 1964 Beatle hit
released long before many of the audience members were born.
Paul also played post-Beatle songs from the 1970s when he was with the
band Wings, hits from the solo period that followed, and tunes from his
latest album, "New" (2013).
But it was the Beatle songs from the 1960s like "Blackbird," "Yesterday" and "Helter Skelter" that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The
stadium lit up with flashes from mobile phones and personal cameras
when McCartney sang the 1970 Beatle classic "Let It Be." The legendary
band broke up in that same year.
Two determined
female fans managed to get onstage for a signature from the rock great.
Paul also honored the request of a loud front-row fan by playing
"One after 909," a lesser-known song from the "Let it Be" album.
More
than 45,000 people crammed into the Centenario football stadium --
built to host the 1930 World Cup, which Uruguay won -- to enjoy the
concert.
Macca
next performs in Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica before heading to
Japan and South Korea in May. The tour then heads to the United States,
according to McCartney's website.
