Watch: Paul McCartney warms up on Letterman

This weekend, Paul McCartney will begin his three-night stint at Citi Field in Queens, New York. To warm up, he took the subway into mid-town — just go with it — to play a mini-concert for Dave. Atop the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater — the venue where he and his former bandmates would make their musical debut some 40+ years ago — and overlooking a massive crowd, McCartney and his current band performed five selections, including “Coming Up”, “Band on the Run”, “Let Me Roll It/Purple Haze”, “Helter Skelter”, and “Back in the USSR”.

McCartney also took some time to schmooze inside where he discussed mostly Beatles related topics… and why it took Dave over 20 years to book him.
