Saturday night's (June 8) stop on his Out There Tour took him to Barclays for the first time, and was the first show of a two-night stand that concluded on Monday (June 10).

This time around, he isn't promoting a new album, but rather, sort of plugging the recent reissue of Wings' 1976 live album Wings Over America. But, in a way, Sir Paul does have "new" material: He's playing a number of Beatles songs that had never been performed live, either by the Fab Four or by any of the members on their solo tours.

Unbelievably, that group of songs includes the show opener, "Eight Days A Week." McCartney has toured frequently since returning to the road in 1989, but has somehow never gotten around the playing that classic, which is kind of mind-blowing. But then again, this is a man whose two former bands dominated music and the radio dial in the '60s and '70s; there are simply too many songs to choose from in his catalog. But it was those eras � the '60s and '70s � that he concentrated on Saturday night: despite his impressive string of '80s singles, and a good amount of somewhat under-appreciated work since then, he played just two post-'70s songs: "My Valentine," from last year's standards album, Kisses On The Bottom (probably with his wife, Nancy Shevell in mind; so many of the songs he performed were written about his late wife, Linda) and "Here Today," which he wrote in tribute to his late friend John Lennon.
