Paul McCartney Reportedly Played One Of The Most Star-Studded Shows Of All Time Last Night
Jim Dyson. Getty Images.Paul McCartney is ramping up for his latest album cycle right now (at 83 years young!), with a great new retrospective single he put out this week….
….and just as he did in the Bowery Ballroom NYC last year, he played two nights at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles this weekend for a more intimate feel than the stadiums he's used to.
For context, the Bowery Ballroom has a 575 capacity and Fonda Theatre has a 1,200 capacity.
Phones were locked up for the gig so everyone could live in the moment, so there's not any video to share, but the reviews for both shows were tremendous from all who attended. I've been seeing praise all over Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit this weekend. And speaking of Reddit, the Paul McCartney subreddit has been talking about the supposed celebrity guest list last night - which is pretty wild if true….
There's a lot more individual posts but to spare you all that reading, I'll compile a list (again, unconfirmed):

Not bad for a guy turning 84 in a couple months! He's still pulling the biggest celebs in droves for a chance to see him live. Certainly more impressive than your average Pup Punk guest list if I'm being completely honest.
I also really laughed at this post about Ringo Starr (ALLEGEDLY) leaving early….
Guy's 85, give him a break! I'm pretty sure he's seen Paul do 'Hey Jude' before!
