There is little you can say, watching someone like this on stage these days , apart from “they’ve still got it” but there is something particularly mystifying in seeing an 82 year-old doing a three hour set.

McCartney carries the air of immortality in his body in the flat stomach, the perfectly tailored clothes (he’s an expert in layers) and the six colourful bracelets on his wrist.
