Sir Paul McCartney performed a concert at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France, as part of his On The Run tour.
It was McCartney’s first show at the venue since 10 December 2009, almost two years previously.
The setlist was largely the same as his concert three days previously at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan, Italy. However, he added The Beatles’ song ‘Michelle’ for the French crowd, and also played ‘San Francisco Bay Blues’. Here’s a performance of ‘Helter Skelter’ from the show:
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).
