Paul McCartney/NY,USA 2.12.2025

On February 16th, an event live commemorating the 50th anniversary of New York’s famous program “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” was held, where Paul performed a medley of “ABBEY ROAD”. Perhaps he wanted to warm up before this appearance, Paul performed a three-day secret gig at the Bowery Ballroom, also in New York, and caused a stir among enthusiasts around the world. For this kind of gig, it is a blessing that the sound source exists, but an audience recording that captured the second day’s gig has already appeared on YouTube. For example, there is noise from objects hitting the microphone in “Come On To Me”, which shows the situation of a crowded hall. Although the sound image is muffled from a distance, which reminds us of the difficulty of recording, Paul’s voice itself is captured widely and is at a level that can be heard well. Moreover, the three-day gig was basically about 100 minutes long, which is not only shorter than a normal stadium live, but the composition of the set list itself was also significantly changed. In addition, there were many rare numbers that changed daily, and on the second day, “Flaming Pie” appeared. Furthermore, “Every Night” appeared in the acoustic corner. Both have become sound check repertoires in recent years, so it’s been a long time since they were performed live like this.
