McCartney’s Wednesday night gig is a follow-up to Tuesday’s surprise Bowery Ballroom concert, which he had announced earlier in the same day and, unsurprisingly, sold-out in just a half an hour.

He charged fans just $50 a ticket to see him perform live at the iconic Manhattan music venue. 

In pure disbelief, McCartney told the crowd at Tuesday’s show: ‘So, here we are. Some little gig. New York. Why not?’ 

The music legend performed a 90-minute set inside the 575-person venue, as reported by Ashbury Park Press.

McCartney – backed by guitarist Rusty Anderson, guitarist and bᴀssist Brian Ray, keyboardist Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. – kicked off proceedings in style performing the 1964 Beatles hit A Hard Day’s Night.

Up next, he dusted off his other band Wings’ track Letting Go, which McCartney hadn’t performed in 11 years.

It was then time for another Beatles track in the form of 1966’s Motown-inspired tune Got to Get You Into My Life.

Other rarities included Wings track Let Me Roll With It – which he last included in his set at the iTunes Festival in 2007 – which included a jam of Foxy Lady by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Elsewhere, McCartney gave a stirring stripped-back acoustic performance of the tear-jerking Beatles tune Blackbird.

Other Beatles gems included Lady Madonna, Get Back, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Let it Be and Hey Jude, while he performed solo tunes My Valentine, Maybe I’m Amazed and Come On To Me.

McCartney was amused to reminisce about the Beatlemania days when he heard a ‘Beatles scream’ and demanded more shrieking from the ‘girls’.

He declared: ‘That was a Beatles scream.’

Before he quipped: ‘OK, let’s get it out of the way. Girls, give me a Beatles scream.’

He charged fans just $50 a ticket to see him perform live at iconic Manhattan music venue

And on cue, all 575 fans screamed the room down.

McCartney also paid tribute to late Beatles frontman John Lennon – who was tragically sH๏τ and killed on December 8, 1980, outside his residence at The Dakota in New York – when performing The Beatles’ final song, 2023’s Now And Then, which Lennon had penned in the 1970s and was finished with the help of AI.

McCartney said: ‘Let’s hear it for John.’

After performing a three-song encore of Golden Slumbers, Carry The Weight and The End from Abbey Road, McCartney declared: ‘This has been a blast — we’ve loo-ved it.’
