MADRID, Spain (AP) - Paul McCartney returned to Madrid for the first time in 15 years and wowed a crowd of 30,000 fans with 33 songs, all but ten of them Beatles' tunes.
McCartney and his band played until well pass midnight Sunday with scores of music-lovers that were unable to get into the Peineta Stadium crowding a nearby slope to catch a glimpse of the 61-year-old rocker and his spectacular stage show featuring huge TV screens and fireworks.
McCartney, 61, delighted fans by addressing them in Spanish. "I was taught Spanish for a year 50 years ago, when I was 11 at school in Liverpool," he said.
He dedicated songs to the late Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison and drew a huge ovation when he said, "Let's hear it for John."
The show ended with hard-rocking versions of Beatle numbers "Helter Skelter" and "Sergeant Pepper."

Macca just said how he did crack and heroin in the past. I don't see why this is a big deal when you know you can't rock without the drugs.
