Hey Jude

(1968), were some of the highlights of the concert offered last night by Paul McCartney.

Just a few days after his 80th birthday, the former Beatle celebrated the most massive performance of the Glastonbury Festival, which this year celebrates its half century somewhat late, an event postponed by the pandemic.

On stage, for about two and a half hours, McCartney performed 36 songs, 21 of them part of the Beatles' repertoire.

The recital kicked off with

Can't Buy me Love

and ranged from their first songs to their latest recordings.

McCartney had two very prominent guests: Dave Grohl, the singer of the Foo Fighters, and Bruce Springsteen.

With Grohl, whom he introduced as his friend from the West Coast, he sang

I Saw Her Standing There

and

Band on the Run

.

Springsteen — “my friend from the East Coast” — backed him up with

Glory Days

and

I Wanna Be Your Man

Something

and

with John Lennon in a virtual duet.

The performance closed with McCartney, Grohl and Spirngsteen on stage playing

The End from the

Abbey Road

album

.
