Paul McCartney reunited with Ringo Starr to perform two Beatles classics during the bassists concert at Los Angeles Dodger Stadium on Saturday night.
Weve got a surprise for us, a surprise for you, a surprise for everyone: Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, Ringo Starr, McCartney said introducing his former band mate to a rapturous Dodger Stadium crowd.
After a quick embrace I love you, man, McCartney told Starr both before and after the reunion the drummer stepped behind the kit as McCartney and his band launched into the minute-long Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise). McCartney and Starr also joined forces to perform Helter Skelter off The White Album.
Starr then thanked the audience and McCartney, who saluted Starr with the drummers trademark Peace and Love, before exiting the stage.
However, McCartney had one more guest in store for the Dodger Stadium gig: Eagles guitarist and Starrs brother-in-law Joe Walsh came onstage midway through Abbey Roads classic closing medley to join in on the guitar solos on the Beatles The End.
The best part is we didnt have a clue what we were doing, McCartney quipped to the crowd soon after the surprise Walsh appearance.
