Paul McCartney gives a treat to his fans along with Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, plays birthday mystery show

The Paul McCartney concert held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Thursday, June 16, went beyond just a concert. During his final North American leg of his "Got Back" tour, Paul McCartney knew exactly how to get the crowd in East Rutherford, N.J., up and dancing.

This was the unforgettable celebration of a music legend's 65th birthday, which took the audience on a magical journey through his last 65 years.

Musicians such as Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, two “Happy Birthday” stadium serenades, rain (not the Beatles song), and more made the night memorable.


McCartney, who turns 80 on Saturday, June 18, appeared to get stronger as the evening progressed. On "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five" and on "Let Me Roll It," Macca delivered throaty yelps and jives.

The yells he makes during "Helter Skelter" still gave goosebumps. McCartney ran up the riser to play piano on “Let 'Em In,” and kicked and skipped as he and his band, with Springsteen, were taking their bows as midnight approached.

There's no denying that McCartney is forever spry, with his still curly hair below his ears.

One fan commented, "80 is fine as long as you look 39."

The music was set up and followed by McCartney's dialogue, which was somewhat more talkative than on previous tours. The stories, while some are familiar, never get boring. He has an easy, conversational tone. In response to his performance of "Sgt. Pepper," Jimi Hendrix asked Eric Clapton to tune his guitar alongside him.
