When the song finished, Paul quietly said, "I got to sing with him again."Ĥ. It was really better than I could've imagined it, a beautiful moment, again personal, intimate. During their virtual duet, Paul spent long periods of time turned to the back of the stage, watching his mate singing again, then got to turn to a mic and sang too. The clarity and tone of Lennon's voice was simply amazing as John's voice echoed in the cavernous stadium, and for just a few minutes, John was truly alive and loud once more deep in the heart of Baltimore. Paul said, "Uh yes, please." The band then went into "I've Got A Feeling." At the point when John would enter with his vocals, there appeared John Lennon on the screen behind the band from the documentary film, as they were on the rooftop playing their final concert. Paul said that Peter Jackson, who put together last fall's three-part documentary film "Get Back," had rung him up and told him he could isolate John's vocals and he could sing with them if he wanted. Later the most emotional moment of the night took place, leaving more than a few of the gathered mass wiping tears. This moment, like so many others during this performance, made this vast stadium performance among tens of thousands of fans somehow seem like the most intimate, personal, and touching performance one could possibly take in. As he performed "Something," McCartney found an opportunity each time he did not have to sing to turn around and take in the parade of photos projected behind him. Just as McCartney showed his deep love for John Lennon, he showed equal love and poignant affection for Harrison. He then went into a beautiful and re-imagined version of the Harrison classic, "Something." Fantastic images of George as well as the two of them as young men played on the center screen behind the band. One day he told George that he had learned one of George's songs to George's delight, and they loved playing it together. Paul had a Gibson ukulele that George had gifted him, and he talked about how they would get together and play together as younger men. Later on McCartney brought out a ukulele and told the story of how great a ukulele player George Harrison was. At this point, the performance started to show heartfelt and raw emotion.
So he played a song he wrote for John shortly after he died, "Here Today." This was a truly poignant song that spoke for the deep love that Paul had for John and was all that he wished he could say in person. He said back in those days you really didn't think to tell people just how you felt about them, and he never got the chance to tell that to John in so many words. Completing that song Paul talked about John Lennon, his boyhood best friend and writing partner that changed the world with him. He proceeded to play "Blackbird" while that platform rose a couple dozen feet into the air and the screens that adorned so many spots on and along the side of the stage showed beautifully designed visual animations. The show really started to launch into another world when Sir Paul stepped to the very front of the stage on a separate platform with just his acoustic guitar.
McCartney worked through a fabulous mix of Beatles songs and solo works, new and old for nearly three hours.
Opening with "Can't Buy Me Love," followed by "Junior's Farm," the band shot out of the gate on fire.
