"At 83, McCartney is well into his cool-little-place era. Last year the rock legend played a string of concerts at New York's tiny Bowery Ballroom while in town for 'Saturday Night Live's' 50th anniversary."
"The truth is that Sir Paul genuinely appears to get a kick out of these intimate gigs - out of standing right in front of a crowd and doing the magic trick that is a song like 'Get Back' or 'Jet' or 'Got to Get You Into My Life.'"
"If a Paul McCartney concert in an arena or a stadium is a finely honed spectacle of boomer nostalgia and industrial-strength charm, one of his shows in a club or a theater is a chance to play music, which after six and a half decades still clearly turns his wheels."
Paul McCartney performed at the Fonda Theatre, celebrating its 100th anniversary. At 83, he continues to engage in intimate performances, promoting his upcoming album 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane.' The concert lasted about an hour and 40 minutes, featuring classic hits but not the album's lead single. McCartney relishes these smaller venues, which allow him to connect with audiences and enjoy the music he loves, reinforcing his enduring appeal as an artist.
