Sometimes one comes across something so brilliant and of the moment, he feels he must post it. A video of that brilliance is below.Paul McCartney has a few live concert dates set for America (with more to come!), and he decided to join Neil Young in London's Hyde Park on Saturday (6/27) for their rendition of the classic Beatles song, "A Day In The Life." It was a very surprising appearance, to say the least, even though the two had previously joined up at a benefit concert once in 2004.
Paulie joins about 2-1/2 minutes in, just in time to sing his verse of the song. Young has closed his shows many times with the number, but never with one of the guys who wrote it! The performance is especially nice as it is completely off-the-cuff, the most unscripted thing I have ever seen McCartney do! (Macca is infamous for his very rigid performances and often canned interviews.) Perhaps coolest of all, if not musically brilliant, is the impromptu vibraphone solo at the end. Only Neil Young (since John Lennon is no longer with us) could bring this out of Paul McCartney, and I could only hope we see more collaborations from them! Enjoy for yourselves!
