The year 2008 marked the 400 anniversary of the founding of Quebec City by french explorer Samuel de Champlain. As part of the city's celebration, McCartney agreed to host a free outdoor concert in The Plains of Abraham, a city park that was the site of many clashes between the French and British empires in the 18th century. Any French vs British animosity was put aside on July 20, 2008, just 17 years ago today, as over 250,000 residents of Quebec turned out for the McCartney concert. Sir Paul did his part to keep the peace, speaking to the crowd in both French and English. Oh yeah, and he played some music as well, over 30 songs including Beatles classics, Wings standards, and solo tunes. Among them was the very appropriate Birthday! In addition, perhaps because their had been some opposition by Quebec nationalists to an Englishman playing at the city's anniversary party, Paul included John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance in his set list. This soundboard recoring captures Sir Paul's entire set, which had been preceded by performances by 2 local artists, The Stills followed by Pascale Picard. Download this one and celebrate 400 years of Canadian history! And when you're done downloading, check out pictures of the event here.

Many thanks!
Maybe I should try to listen to it, although The Beatles were never really me cup of tea!
