Overview

• McCartney performed the Beatles classic in full on Sept. 26 during a small warm-up show at the Santa Barbara Bowl ahead of the North American leg of his Got Back tour.
• Rolling Stone’s archival reporting cites Dec. 12, 1965 in Cardiff as his previous complete live performance of the song.
• He had only played a brief excerpt of the track in 1990 during a Flowers In The Dirt-era segment honoring John Lennon.
• The venue enforced a no-phone policy, so only a distant, low-quality video of the rendition has surfaced online.
• The revival is notable given McCartney’s tendency to avoid Lennon-written material in concert, and there is no confirmation it will recur on the tour.
