Five days ahead of the release of his new album, New, Macca played a quick gig at 1 p.m. EST at the intersection of 46th and Broadway. The show appeared impromptu, announced by Macca on his Twitter around noon, but clearly was not: there are certainly permits involved with opening up one side of a semi truck in the middle of Time Square, surrounding it with NYPD and letting a full band play.

It lasted a mere 15 minutes and consisted of four New songs, played by a smaller band made up of some of McCartney's touring players. Macca started with the single, also named "New," from behind his colorful upright piano. He then moved to the bass for the album's opening track, the upbeat rocker "Save Us," before switching to acoustic guitar for "Everybody Out There." Back at the piano, he closed with another unnamed track off the upcoming release before fleeing the semi.
