Paul McCartney delivered a message to the cheering audience at Wrigley Field on Sunday, July 31:

This is how to rock.

Visiting Chicago for the first time since 2005, McCartney showed fans that age is nothing but a number, as he played over 30 songs with no breaks. Backed by his excellent band—drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., guitarists Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray, and keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens—he charged hard through songs covering his Beatles, Wings, and solo careers, leaning more toward the uptempo numbers than his signature ballads. Blazing guitars ruled the evening, with McCartney's strong voice hitting the same high notes as on the original recordings.

Sporting a blue jacket (which he quickly doffed due to the extreme humidity) and a wide smile, McCartney greeted the excited crowd with, appropriately, "Hello Goodbye," immediately segueing into "Junior's Farm," one of a handful of songs he played for hard-core fans. Live, the song rocks even harder than the original. Against a backdrop of scenes from A Hard Day's Night, McCartney blazed through "All My Loving" with the energy of a 20-year-old. As usual, he played the concert-friendly "Jet," fist pumping in the air with the entire audience.
