A rare pair of small-venue performances gave fans in Los Angeles a different way to experience Paul McCartney. The concerts took place over two nights at the Fonda Theatre, where the setting contrasted sharply with the stadiums he typically fills. Reports from the shows noted how the scaled-down space created a more direct connection between the artist and the audience.
During the performances, McCartney reflected on early moments from his career, including memories tied to The Beatles and their first visit to the United States. Those recollections were woven into a setlist that moved across decades of music, combining well-known Beatles tracks, Wings material, and selections from his solo catalog.
Across roughly two dozen songs, the focus stayed on familiar work rather than newer releases. The concerts coincided with a recent album rollout, though those tracks were not included as the band continues preparing them for live shows.
The result was a performance that leaned on history, storytelling, and a closer-than-usual audience experience.
