Paul McCartney in Park Ha’Yarkon in Tel Aviv
Paul McCartney played his first ever concert in Tel Aviv today, performing in front of 40,000 fans more than 40 years after the Beatles were banned from playing in Israel. Once on stage, Macca dusted off his knowledge of the Hebrew language to welcome the crowd and wish them a happy Rosh Hashanah next week. McCartney’s “Friendship First” concert, named with the hope of easing tensions in the tumultuous area, featured 31 hits from through Paul’s career, from the Beatles’ singles to “Band on the Run” toMemory Almost Full’s “Dance Tonight.” During John Lennon’s “Give Peace A Chance,” McCartney let the crowd take over to sing the song’s final coda, while fireworks lit up the sky during McCartney’s own “Live And Let Die.” And three months after playing it live for the first time, McCartney once again treated the crowd to the Sgt. Pepper classic “A Day in the Life.”
