Paul McCartney
'The Late Show with David Letterman', New York, America - 15 Jul 2009
It was almost like January 1969 all over again, as Paul McCartney took to the top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theatre for his performance last night on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ – a performance reminiscent of the Beatles’ iconic rooftop performance 40 years on top of the Apple Studios on London’s Savile Row.

It also harked back to another moment 45 years ago when the Beatles made their first American appearance at that same Ed Sullivan Theater.

Aptly, McCartney played the same song that his old band performed three times on top of the Apple Studios, ‘Get Back’, fittingly followed by one of his new songs, ‘Sing The Changes’, from his latest album, ‘Electric Arguments’, much to the delight of the assembled fans on the street down below, before chatting to host Letterman about that first US appearance and his relationship with the late Michael Jackson.
