His voice, though weathered, carries the weight of history. “Like Dylan and Simon, McCartney’s voice has lost its range,” noted a critic, “but the songs — and his charm — do all the talking.”
The night’s energy soared with “Live and Let Die,” complete with pyrotechnics, before easing into crowd sing-alongs for “Hey Jude.” Keyboardist Wix Wickens even paid subtle homage to Prince, flashing his iconic glyph on screen during the performance — a quiet nod to McCartney’s 2016 dedication to the Minneapolis legend.
Unity and Love A Lifetime of Memories and Music
True to Beatles spirit, McCartney used the stage to remind audiences of music’s power to unite. Before performing “Blackbird,” he recalled how The Beatles refused to play segregated shows in Jacksonville in 1964: “We told the promoter, people sit together — not apart.”
Ending the night, McCartney reaffirmed his timeless message: “All you need is love.” As tens of thousands of fans sang “Na-na-na-na, hey Jude” in unison, it felt less like a concert and more like a global reunion.
