Paul McCartney, live in Quebec City


250,000 people for his free show during the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City
July 20th, 2008

250,000 show up!!!
Not bad for a 65 year old guy whose hieght of popularity was almost 40 years ago. I wanna see any one of the current day "superstars" pull this off in 40 years.

People will go who's giving a free concert?
Never heard of him.

I didn't know Toggy played drums for him??

Imagine if he did this in Central Park. Can you imagine the numbers that would show?

Quebec City has a population of 671,000 - 250,000 showed up. That's 37% of the pplation.
NYC hasa population of 8,200,000 - if you have the same % deciding to go - you end up with over 3,000,000 people!!

Page loads slow - but some great pictures.

Great song but actually a true Lennon/McCartney tune.

Paul's contribution is the middle bit (Woke Up got outta bed......)
The rest is John.
Actually it was too diffrent songs -
Lennon was looking for something to feel in the middle of his song. Paul said how about this?

Great collaborators they were.
