Paul McCartney’s historic three-night musical christening of New York’s Citi Field stadium, witnessed by 100,000-plus attendees in July 2009, is immortalised in ‘Good Evening New York City’ and features dazzling performances of Beatles, Wings and solo classics. As the inaugural musical event at Citi Field, the site of the former Shea Stadium, the July 2009 shows held special significance - they were performed on the same hallowed ground that The Beatles, in 1965, played the 34-minute show that would set the precedent for the modern day stadium rock show – and where in 2008 McCartney joined Billy Joel for the final concert before the original stadium‘s demolition. The Beatles’ I’m Down from the 1965 set list was revived for the Citi Field shows and ‘Good Evening New York City’ features a special cut which includes footage of Paul’s 2009 performance and the original 1965 performance by The Beatles at Shea Stadium.
