Sir. Paul McCartney Plays for the Queen

Almost 50 years after The Beatles were awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire medal in 1965, Sir. Paul McCartney returned to London’s Buckingham Palace to perform at part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert. McCartney played a mix of Beatles and solo hits, including “Magical Mystery Tour,” “All My Loving,” “Let It Be,” “Live And Let Die” and “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” The multi-band performance celebrated the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, and also featured performances by
Will.i.am, Cheryl Cole, Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Annie Lennox, Cliff Richard and Grace Jones, among others. According to reports, over 15,000 people attended the show, though the Queen missed a good portion of the evening’s festivities.

There were some acts between TV commercials, otherwise, a complete waste of an evening. Tom Jones was probably the best performance in this concert, but the whole show was painful to watch. Not waiting for the DVD.

WOW!!! What has Paul McCartney not done? I just read he will be part of the Olympics!! I can’t believe he will be 70 on 6/18, I’m 59 and it’s so sad we’re getting old ! Oh, to be 12 again and going to the record store to get the latest Beatle 45 or LP, go home and play it over & over. To talk about Beatle stuff and read the latest 16 mag. Beatles FOREVER!!! L.C. Taylor

Paul and Band, You sounded great on American television. Great Mix, Great Job and keep up the good work. Take a break and go on vacation…

Too bad Paul did not include his charming ditty, Her Majesty. That little song humanized the queen and makes you want to like her.
