Paul McCartney Rocks Beatles Classics At Outside Lands
. Taking the stage just after 7 p.m., McCartney launched into Beatles' classic "Eight Days A Week," then rollicked through a nearly three-hour set. Macca trotted out Wings songs often � like "Live and Let Die" with pyrotechnics launching off from atop the stage � before ending with the sing-a-long song to beat them all, "Hey Jude." As if it's possible, even bigger Beatles' hits highlighted the encore, including "Day Tripper," "Helter Skelter" and "The End." While fog, mist and even a little drizzly rain hung over the festival for the most of the day, the crowd rolled with the autumnal weather, with a plethora of stylish fashion statements being made by women and me alike � animal-themed hats and flower crowns were prevailing sartorial trends. Nile Rodgers and Chic played a revelatory set of classic dance music, schooling a sea of younger fans in his bottomless catalog of hit songs. "Good Times" and "Le Freak" were played of course, as well as classics the band wrote for Diana Ross ("Upside Down") and Sister Sledge ("We Are Family") and a rousing rendition of David Bowie's 1983 single "Let's Dance." Rodgers ended the show with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" playing over the sound system, as he thanked the crowd for "making it No. 1 in 97 countries."
