How often do you get a chance to hear Sir Paul McCartney himself singing some of The Beatles greatest hits on a regular train? Not too often, probably.
This unlikely situation has actually happened during the legendary musician's trip in New Orleans with his wife. Out of the blue, McCartney has "burst into a medley of some of The Beatles biggest hits". The passengers reaction? Ignore the guy, he's just another street busker.
Although some of the passengers apparently weren't that much into The Beatles, there were others who had recognized the true music legend and were instantly shocked.
"This guy got on the street car and started singing Beatles songs. Everyone was just ignoring him really because there are a lot of buskers in this town. Then we realized it was Sir Paul McCartney and we were just in shock. He started singing along with the whole carriage and taking pictures. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of the best days of my life", the tram passenger Robert Senft told The Mirror.
McCartney was in town with his wife for the Super Bowl on Sunday, while the train 'set-list' included tracks such as "
A Hard Day's Night" and a medley of several other big hits.
In the music sphere, McCartney is currently busy working with the
Sound City Players, a band founded by
Dave Grohl from
Foo Fighters featuring music legends such as
John Fogerty,
Stevie Nicks,
Trent Reznor,
Rick Nielsen,
Brad Wilk and McCartney himself. After the supergroup's first live
performance at the Sundance Film Festival last month
plans for a worldwide tour have been revealed.
