Paul McCartney live: Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Rio de Janeiro

Paul McCartney performed at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 23 May 2011.

It was the penultimate concert of the Up And Coming Tour, which lasted for 38 dates between March 2010 and June 2011, and the second of two consecutive nights in Rio de Janeiro.

The show at the Engenhão, as the stadium is commonly known, brought to a close the South American leg of his Up And Coming Tour.

Here’s footage of his performance of ‘I Saw Her Standing There’, which closed the first encore:

McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar), and Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums).
