Paul McCartney live at Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia

10.00pm, Saturday 14 August 2010 (1 year ago)

Sir Paul McCartney performed the first of two concerts at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, as part of his Up And Coming Tour.

The band took to the stage at 8.30pm, and played before 30,000 people. Following a solo performance of Yesterday, McCartney called a woman, Marta McGovern, onto the stage. She had been holding up a sign saying "I beat breast cancer! Sign me for a tattoo?" McCartney signed her lower back.

A disabled girl, Dara Roberts, was then brought onto the stage. McCartney hugged her and brought the microphone to her, and to cheers she said "Hello Philadelphia" to the crowd.

Here's the performance of Yesterday from the show:
