Coming together in the Big Apple.
Paul McCartney, 82, hosted a surprise show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on Tuesday night, after announcing the pop-up concert just hours earlier.
The legendary musician was joined by his band — guitarist Rusty Anderson, guitarist-bassist Brian Ray, keyboardist Paul “Wix” Wickens and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. — and a three-member horn section for the show, which kicked off at exactly 6:44 p.m., according to CBS News.
The Grammy Award winner played for an audience of about 500 people, who had to snag their $50 tickets in-person at the Bowery Ballroom’s box office.
Phones and audio/video recording were banned during the show.
“So, here we are,” McCartney said onstage. “Some little gig. New York. Why not?”
