The 76-year-old rocker has still got it as put on incredible set
And eager Glasgow punters were far from disappointed when McCartney hit the Hydro tonight – his 40 song setlist included tracks from Wings, The Quarrymen, The Beatles and his solo career.
From Letting Go to Who Cares to Got To Get You Into My Life – the singer had the crowd in the palm of his hand from his very first note.
And while the more famous of his hits – From Me To You and Band On The Run to name a few – didn’t fail to get the crowd going, punters couldn’t get enough of his more recent tracks.
Fuh You saw the packed Hydro singing and punching the air.
Sir Paul paid tribute to his wife with slow number
McCartney reminisced between tracks about friendships with Jimi Hendrix, first recording with The Beatles back in the day, John Lennon as well as paying tribute to signs from punters – including one fan who has seen him 120 times.
Paul said: “I always say to him he must be loaded.
The legendary singer wrapped up his set with Live And Die with exploding pyrotechnics and Hey Jude, leading thousands of fans in a singalong that left ears ringing and fans grinning madly.
He returned to the stage waving a Saltire flag with a seven-song encore featuring Wonderful Christmastime – complete with fake snow – and part of the Abbey Road medley with Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and The End.
It may have been decades since the singer first shot to fame – but he showed no signs of slowing down.
In perhaps what was one of the best gigs Glasgow has seen this year, Paul McCartney simply signed off with: “Thank you all.”
