Paul McCartney rocks 200,000 for Quebec City’s birthday party - photos and video on ShoVine
July 21, 2008
(July 20-08) Sir Paul McCartney made a controversial appearance in Quebec City, Canada for a concert before 200,000.
From CP:
QUEBEC — Music icon Paul McCartney exploded onto an old battleground Sunday, churning out a song list laden with Beatles tunes to a pumped up crowd on the historic Plains of Abraham.
The knighted ex-Beatle was in town to help Quebec City celebrate its 400th birthday - and he was an enthusiastic invitee.
“Bonsoir les Quebecois, bonsoir toute le gang,” McCartney shouted to his faithful after he opened the show by belting out the Wings song “Jet.”
The crowd erupted and the band turned it up a notch by ripping into Beatles’ 1965 classic “Drive My Car,” “Only Mama Knows,” and “All My Loving.”
