During the first encore McCartney invited a girl celebrating her 17th birthday onto the stage, and led the crowd into a singalong of Happy Birthday. He and the band then performed The Beatles’ 1968 song Birthday, an impromptu addition to the setlist.

A newlywed couple also made it onto the stage, and the bride, Brianne Kiesgen, was rewarded with a McCartney signature on her shoulder.
