Paul McCartney and his tight-knit band delivered a soul-stirring rendition of The Beatles&#8217; \u201cGolden Slumbers,\u201d \u201cCarry That Weight,\u201d and \u201cThe End\u201d\u2014the iconic medley from side two of\u00a0<em>Abbey Road<\/em>, the final album the Fab Four ever cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213-1160x773.png 1160w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-213.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That sequence alone would have etched the night into memory, but as \u201cThe End\u201d built to its crescendo, the stage ignited. Bruce Springsteen, Joe Walsh, and Foo Fighters&#8217; Dave Grohl strode out to join the fray. Suddenly, six guitar wizards\u2014rounding out with McCartney&#8217;s own Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray\u2014traded blistering, bite-sized solos, mirroring the joyful interplay of McCartney, George Harrison, and John Lennon from the 1969 original. It was reverence wrapped in raw energy, a living bridge from Abbey Road&#8217;s studio haze to Grammy glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This powerhouse close marked McCartney&#8217;s second standout of the evening. Earlier, he&#8217;d woven intimacy into the spotlight with \u201cMy Valentine,\u201d a gem from his fresh release&nbsp;<em>Kisses on the Bottom<\/em>. Walsh stepped up for the guitar solo there too, standing in seamlessly for Eric Clapton, who&#8217;d laid down the album&#8217;s version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dive into the video of this jam below\u2014\u201cThe End\u201d kicks in around the 3:20 mark. Spot the lineup from left: Springsteen, Walsh, Anderson, McCartney himself, Grohl, and Ray (who switches to bass for \u201cGolden Slumbers\u201d and \u201cCarry That Weight\u201d). Paul \u201cWix\u201d Wickens holds down keyboards, with Abe Laboriel Jr. driving the drums like a heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"779\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-212.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-212.png 779w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-212-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-212-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-212-380x254.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In that fleeting fusion, generations collided\u2014not as nostalgia, but as a roaring testament to rock&#8217;s unbreakable thread.
