Paul McCartney ICA London Pictures

iTunes Festival - London - 5th July 2007 - Sir Paul McCartney - ICA 

After a short wait that seemed like forever Sir Paul McCartney and his band took to the stage.

The imediately started playing 'Coming Up' and then 'Drive My Car'

After the two superb openers Sir Paul played some new songs, including new single 'Dance Tonight'

Sir Paul then played some solo songs including 'Blackbird' and tearful 'Here Today', dedicated to the late John Lennon and Linda McCartney

Sir Paul looked like he was enjoying it throughout the whole performance talking to and making jokes with the crowd.  Sir Paul kept referring to the gig as a small 'Party' saying that it was more like a party than a concert.

After song of the slower songs Sir Paul and the band went on to play 'Back in the USSR'

Then Sir Paul asked all the crowd to nod their heads during new song 'Nod Your Head'

Back onto the piano for crowd and world favourite 'Hey Jude'

Singalong at the end of 'Hey Jude' with all the crowd swaying their hands in the air and singing along.

Sir Paul was smiling throughout looking like he was happy to be back on home soil.

A huge applause  for Sir Paul and his band after over an hour of hits.

Sir Paul back on the Piano for the encore with 'Let It Be' dedicated to a crew member (John Roden) who had recently passed away.

Sir Paul's accompanying band were in good vocal support of Sir Paul, with each performing brilliantly.

A final fairwell after set closers 'Lady Madonna' and 'I Saw Her Standing There'

Sir Paul stands acknowledging the crowd like the legend that he is.  This was a truly special occasion and I feel very proud and lucky to have been able to attend. Just under one hour and fortyfive minutes of pure brilliance.
