Performing songs from across his career, but leaning heavily on his Beatles and Wings catalogue for obvious reasons, the 80-year-old’s voice may not be quite as strong as it once was, but the crowd singing along to every word helped mask any vocal stumbles. It was the cherry on top for Macca’s star-studded show, which saw him joined on stage at various points throughout his 38-song set by both Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen. I know it’s virtual but come on, it’s John. “One day, Peter Jackson rings me up and says he can take John’s vocals and isolate them so that you can play live with him on tour,” he said. Speaking to the crowd, McCartney explained how Lennon’s appearance at the show came about. In a wonderfully poetic moment, a roar erupted from the Glasto crowd as Lennon appeared on the screen behind McCartney and that unmistakable voice could be heard singing the song’s famous lines, “Everybody had a hard year, everybody had a good time…” It’s probably fair to say that those words have never held more meaning than they do in our post-pandemic world. ![]() #PAUL MCCARTNEY JOHN LENNON SERIES#Listen to the best of The Beatles on Apple Music and Spotify.Using footage from Peter Jackson’s recent The Beatles: Get Back series along with isolated audio of Lennon’s vocals, the performance, which can be viewed in the video above, saw the musical titans collaborate one last time.

He didn’t really know the verses, but he knew the chorus. ![]() McCartney, wearing a white jacket with silver flecks and the obligatory black drainpipe trousers, talked with John for a little while and having shown John a technique for tuning, McCartney played some songs, including a medley of Little Richard’s tunes, along with Eddie Cochran‘s “Twenty Flight Rock” and Gene Vincent‘s “Be-Bop-A-Lula.”Īccording to Paul, “I remember John singing a song called ‘Come Go With Me.’ He’d heard it on the radio. Ivan Vaughan had on occasions played tea-chest bass with the Quarry Men and it was he who introduced Paul to John. In the evening the Quarry Men played at The Grand Dance in the church hall, opposite the church sharing the bill with the George Edwards Band. The biggest challenge for John and his mates in the band was to stay upright on the back of the moving vehicle while continuing to play once in the field behind the church things got a little easier. Things had got underway in the early afternoon with a short parade through this up-market area of Liverpool, with a couple of lorries bringing the Rose Queen, on the first lorry, with the Quarry Men on a second lorry. ![]()
