After 40-plus years in music, Sir Paul McCartney is still selling out stadiums. The Beatle and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is performing at Citi Field (the new home of the Mets) tonight and tomorrow night, with an extra show added on for Tuesday, July 21, due to the first announced dates selling out within minutes. This past Wednesday, Paul excited fans by playing a surprise show on top of David Letterman’s marquee in midtown. Rolling Stone noted that Paul’s set “recalled the Beatles’ famed Savile Row rooftop gig, when the Fab Four played atop the former building that housed Apple studios. In 1964, the Beatles made their U.S. television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in the same studio Letterman now inhabits.”

I’m sure these inaugural events at Citi Field and the performance at David Letterman is stirring up a slew of memories and emotions for Sir Paul. Hard to believe that 44 years ago in 1965, the Beatles christened Shea Stadium with their legendary gig. From what I’m told, Paul will be playing a vast spectrum of his music -- the Beatles of course, plus Wings and songs from his latest recording, Electric Arguments. Tonight is a hot hot hot ticket, and I’m just glad I have one.
