The last time that Paul McCartney joined Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band on their concert stage was almost thirteen years ago, at the infamous Hyde Park gig with the "plug-pulling" incident. Technically speaking, they also have since performed together on Saturday Night Live in 2015 for "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town," but as for a full-scale Macca return to the actual E Street concert stage...

That had to wait until last night in Liverpool, fittingly, opening the encores of Springsteen and his band's second-ever Liverpool show with McCartney joining them for versions of the classic Beatles original "Can't Buy Me Love" and classic Beatles cover-medley "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!" More to come soon on last night's Liverpool 2025 finale, from both Paulina Vanderbilt and René van Diemen. Stay tuned...
