25 June 2015: Paul McCartney live at Colonial Life Arena, Columbia, South Carolina

Paul McCartney performed the 83rd concert of his long-running Out There tour at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, SC, USA.

It was the last of four US dates during a brief North America run, before the tour returned to Europe for shows in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Thank you Columbia! Nice meeting you Cameron–hope it was worth the wait! #OutThere pic.twitter.com/wS1KHkKu4Y

The setlist was identical to the band’s previous show at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia. McCartney dedicated a performance of The Beatles’ 1970 song The Long And Winding Road to the victims of the Charleston church shooting on 17 June.

Here’s the version of Something, sung as a tribute to its writer George Harrison:

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).

Thank you, South Carolina for your beautiful smiles tonight. X Paul's tribute to the victims of AME in Charleston and your ovation, ??.
