Paul McCartney live: Save Mart Center, Fresno, California

Paul McCartney kicked off his One On One tour with a concert at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

It was McCartney’s first concert of 2016, and his first ever performance in Fresno. His previous tour, Out There, grossed $196 million from 60 shows.

There were plenty of surprises in the setlist, including his first ever solo performance of The Beatles’ 1964 song A Hard Day’s Night. McCartney last played the song with The Beatles on 31 August 1965 at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California.

McCartney also brought back a selection of other Beatles songs into his live set, including I’ve Got A Feeling, Here, There And Everywhere, You Won’t See Me and The Fool On The Hill. He also played The Quarrymen’s early song In Spite Of All The Danger, and dedicated a performance of Love Me Do to Beatles producer George Martin, who died on 8 April. It was the first time McCartney had performed the song as a solo artist.

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).
