Paul McCartney performed at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, USA, on 12 September 2017.
It was the 56th show of the One On One Tour, which lasted for 77 dates between April 2016 and December 2017, and the second of two consecutive nights in Newark.
It was McCartney’s second show at the venue, which opened in 2007 and is the home of the New Jersey Devils hockey team.
Prior to performing ‘I Saw Her Standing There’, McCartney invited a fan – Sarah Lindenbaum from Bloomington, Illinois – onto the stage.
As you can imagine, it was the dream of a lifetime for someone who can usually be found with a McCartney solo record on repeat!

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).
