The Beatles' first single 'Love Me Do', originally released in 1962, also got the solo treatment for the first time by McCartney, whilst the entire show consisted of an incredible showcase of 38 songs total.
Taking fans through many generations of his hits, not only did he perform Beatles tracks, but pre-Beatles material with the inclusion of The Quarrymen's track 'In Spite Of All The Danger', and his collaboration with Rihanna and Kanye West, 'FourFiveSeconds'.
A review from Mercury News who were at the Fresno concert tells of how the 38 songs are performed in a set just under three hours long, adding: "He never seemed to get tired, but rather seemed to grow stronger - more passionate about the music - as the night progressed."
Continuing through the US this month, the tour will move to South America in May before hitting Europe in June, with McCartney still amongst the stars in the business able to attract the biggest crowds.
