Last night Paul McCartney played the first concert ever at Citi Field in New York. It was 45 years ago that The Beatles first played at Shea stadium and last year, Billy Joel invited Paul to play at the last concert there. And last night Paul opened the new Shea Stadium… Citi Field.

During the show, Paul kept referring to the shows that The Beatles played there, how the acoustics was bad at those shows and how all they could hear was the screaming girls in the audience. It was raining at Citi Field last night and Paul encouraged the audience: “We’re in it together”

At the end of the show, Paul returned a favor to Billy Joel and invited him to be a special guest during “I Saw Her Standing There.”
