This was how Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour ended.
The show was full of moments that made the thousands of fans present vibrate, but none as significant as Ringo Starr's arrival on stage. Joining McCartney, the drummer joyfully expressed, "I've had a great night, it's been a great show."
Together they revived some of The Beatles' greatest classics, such as "Helter Skelter" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," songs that immediately transported the audience to the band's peak in the 60s. As he bid farewell, Starr made a heartfelt statement: "I'm leaving now, I've had a great night and I love you all," a loving goodbye that marked the importance of the moment.
A closure full of surprises
The event was made even more special with the participation of another distinguished guest: Ronnie Wood, guitarist of the Rolling Stones. Wood joined McCartney to perform the iconic “Get Back”, one of the most beloved songs by fans.
But the most nostalgic moment came when McCartney picked up his Hofner 500/1 bass, an instrument with great sentimental value to him. This bass, which had been stolen in 1972, was played by McCartney for the first time in five decades, adding an even more emotional touch to the evening.
The Got Back Tour: a tribute to a whole career
Paul McCartney’s Got Back Tour was one of the most anticipated tours in recent times, and its closing in London was a reflection of a career that has influenced generations. Throughout the tour, McCartney traveled to various cities in Europe and South America, offering memorable performances in places like Buenos Aires, Paris, Madrid, and São Paulo.
Without opening acts and with a setlist of almost 40 songs, the former Beatle once again showed why he remains one of the most influential musicians on the planet. The night was filled with special moments, not only because of the songs, but also because of the way McCartney connected with his audience, offering a unique experience.
