Paul McCartney rocked Hollywood Boulevard last night at a free show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel Live!. He performed 15 songs, a mix of classic Beatles and Wings material as well as songs from his upcoming album, "New."
Before the concert, McCartney sat down with Jimmy Kimmel in the studio. Kimmel looked like an excited kid as he interviewed the legend, asking him a myriad of questions. McCartney talked about how, to this day, he still has anxiety dreams about playing with The Beatles and Wings.
"You can't control what goes on in your dreams, anyway," he said. "So I'm there, let's say, with the Beatles, and we're playing, and the audience starts to leave."
Kimmel then asked him what it was like playing in Hollywood for the first time.
"A lot of screaming," McCartney told him. "...Beautiful girls, we were young, we were healthy, we were ready to roll."
Kimmel mentioned how his mother began crying when she heard the band rehearse, and he asked McCartney what it is like for him to see people get so emotional when he performs.
"It's ok. They're not crying all the time; I make them laugh sometimes. ...It's actually very moving. You've got to be careful when you're playing because it can get you crying."
He finished the interview if there was any unreleased Beatles material that might surface. McCartney mentioned "Carnival of Lights," a "very far out" 15-minute track, but he suggested that most of the unreleased material isn't very good — ha, as if.
