Paul McCartney joined Neil Young at London's Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park last night for a riotous rendition of The Beatles' classic A Day In The Life.
Young and McCartney bring A Day In The Life to an explosive conclusion
The crowd, perhaps expecting Young's encore set-closer of the Fab Four song, went wild when McCartney ran on stage right on time for the middle section.
Young and McCartney hugged and sang together, and then Macca darted off to thunderous applause. But as Young proceeded to wreak havoc on Old Black, his trusty '53 Les Paul - another nightly ritual - for the song's crescendo, McCartney came back out to take part in the fun.
Good thing A Day In The Life is the final number in Neil Young's set; otherwise, his guitar tech would have his work cut out for him getting the axe re-strung in time for another tune.
Yuck! I`ve seen alot of bands both amateur and professional cover Beatles songs. This was far from the best I`ve seen. America on the other hand knows how to cover Lennon & McCartney. Even Macca couldn`t save this one. I`m a big Neil Young fan, hope he sticks to his own material, which is vast considering the groups he`s been in.
Buuuuu. I have a slow connection for the moment and won`t be able to see it. Too BAD they didn`t do "The Girl Is Mine". I wonder how that song would have sounded sung by these two oldies but goldies. - Paul, I`m a lover, not a fighter! Very suitable lines for Neil Young to sing. The both of them could have dressed up in skin tight leather pants (McCartney in red/Young in black). The Paul McCartney/Neil Young meets The Village People tribute to Michael Jackson. Too BAD, they didn`t. ; )
