Paul McCartney - 1990-07-04 - Washington, DC (SBD)

Since 1993, I've seen Sir Paul 6 times, and will make it 7 in just a few weeks when my wife, my twin boys, and I go to see him on August 7 at Met Life Stadium.  It will be the 2nd Macca show for my sons, whose first concert was Paul at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia when we went as a family for Father's Day in 2015!

Today's post goes back to a tour I missed unfortunately. In 1989, when Paul McCartney launched his first world tour since his days with Wings, he carefully selected the date for his concert in Washington, DC. On July 4, 1990, 23 years ago today, Sir Paul played RFK Stadium in our nation’s capitol, helping the US celebrate the 214th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, this soundboard recording of that show is missing the first 4 songs. The result, however, is that the recording starts with a song that McCartney added to the set list specifically for this particular concert. That tune was a rendition of Birthday, an appropriate choice for July 4th in the US!
