News article: McCartney Proclaims, `Welcome to London` - Saturday, July 28, 2012 MACCA-Central, The Paul McCartney FUNsite

After a spectacular fireworks display, the cameras focused on the stage and Paul McCartney opens up the final closing ceremony with "The End". Then a PA announcement, "Sir Paul McCartney", and then he starts right into "Hey Jude". With what seems extra longer hair than usual, Paul certainly look the proudest I've seen him on-stage.

Any McCartney fan watching just knew he would be going to the sing along part of Hey Jude and sure enough, he enthusiastically jumps from his piano to the center stage microphone, "Just the guys now", for two rounds and "Now the girls". Cameras panning the crowd and the Olympics atheletes from all over the world singing along.

What a perfect song for this event. Paul proclaims on the closing chord after a few yeahs and some pretty good ooohs, "Welcome to London".

Below is a video from youtube, but the Olympic Committee is removing such videos so don't know how long it will remain viewable.

His mic did not work in beginning, so I think that caused a slight distraction. I have been to several concerts and it usually takes a couple of songs for that great voice to kick in. Hell it`s Paul McCartney! He is a legend go see him every chance you can.

?The defense game of the Steelers is extraordinary as they target different areas of the field while keeping the opposite team`s offensive line and quarterbacks guessingBe certain to read up Safety Troy Polamalu and tackle Marcus Gilbert are probableMost courses will demand college students to assume on their feet and carry out duties that used to be reserved for college students a long time ahead of them in school

Love our Paulie, but have to say I was worried throughout the whole performance, he wasn`t going to be able to pull it off. His vocals seemed very weak and shaky. Hopefully, there was something wrong with the mix, or some other technological issue and not a sign that live performances are beyond him now.
