Paul McCartney is on his “One on One tour” and he recently performed in Newark at the Prudential Center and then at Madison Square Garden. in NYC.
Suffering Surfer of Ocean Grove attended the 9/11 concert in Newark. Surfer was excited; he was going with his girlfriend and he was hoping that McCartney would sing “I Saw Her Standing There.”
He even made a song request sign to hold up, but he left it in the car. The show set-list did not have that song, but McCartney did it as an encore. Surfer was thrilled. The show was over 3 hours long, and the audience was tireless.
During the MSG show, McCartney brought Bruce Springsteen and Steve Van Zandt up on stage to perform together. Eileen found the link below.
