Sir Paul McCartney's tour Got Back will offer a medley of music from different stages of his six-decade career, and while the show itself is not quite a magical mystery tour, he believes music contains both magic and mystery.
Speaking words of wisdom, Sir Paul McCartney sits on stage surrounded by a small coterie of his most adoring fans.Sir Paul McCartney will tonight launch his Australian tour at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre
At a sneak peak ahead of the music legend's Wednesday-night gig at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, a much smaller — but equally effusive — audience was treated to a far more intimate Q&A encounter as McCartney reflected on his life and work. McCartney's current tour Got Back is intended as a medley of music from different stages of his career, which has spanned more than six decades and included songs with The Beatles and Wings, as well as his solo output.
"Someone said to me once, 'Do you believe in magic?' and I said, 'Well, I've kind of got to', because a couple of my songs I sort of didn't write. I woke up one morning and then there was this tune in my head and it turned out to be Yesterday," he said.Let It Be emerged from the ether in similarly mysterious circumstances, in one of "those kind of dreams where there's someone you've lost and there they are".
"I've nicked that line off Mozart — because someone said, 'How do you write, how do you compose?' He said, 'I like to find the notes that like each other'," he said.
