“Now and Then”: Paul McCartney’s Unforgettable Night of Tears, Tribute, and Timeless Magic

Paul McCartney | News | For Whom The Bell Tells: 'GOT BACK' Central and South American Tour 2024

It was supposed to be just another stop on Paul McCartney’s world tour. But as fans flooded Buenos Aires’ iconic River Plate Stadium, they had no idea they were about to witness music history. The air was electric with excitement, and when the lights dimmed and the first notes of “Can’t Buy Me Love” rang out, the crowd erupted. McCartney, 81 years young, moved with the grace and charm of a man half his age. But then, halfway through the set, everything changed.

Without warning, the screens behind him flickered to life with black-and-white images of a young John Lennon. The crowd fell silent. McCartney approached the piano, took a deep breath, and said softly, “This is for my brothers… one last time.”

Then came the first-ever live performance of “Now and Then”, the long-lost Beatles track that had finally been completed using Lennon’s original demo, George Harrison’s early guitar takes, and modern technology. As McCartney’s voice intertwined with Lennon’s haunting vocals and Harrison’s soulful strums, time seemed to stop. Fans stood frozen, many in tears. Mothers hugged daughters. Couples held hands. Grown men wept.

Behind him, unseen footage of the Fab Four laughing, recording, and walking through Abbey Road played like a silent love letter. It wasn’t just a song—it was a resurrection. A moment of farewell. A moment of reunion.

And yet, McCartney wasn’t done.

Wiping his eyes, he stood and grabbed his iconic Hofner bass. “Let’s keep this party going, yeah?” he shouted. In a flash, the mood turned from mourning to celebration. “Hey Jude” brought the entire stadium into a unified chorus. “Band on the Run” got thousands dancing. “Live and Let Die”, with its explosive pyrotechnics, lit the sky like fireworks on the Fourth of July.

By the time the final note rang out, the crowd knew they had witnessed something they’d never see again: a living legend closing a chapter that began over six decades ago.

Now, McCartney is bringing that magic back home. This December, he’ll kick off his long-awaited UK tour, where fans will once again laugh, cry, and sing with the man who helped change the world—one song at a time.

For one night in Argentina, it felt like the Beatles were together again. And through Paul, they always will be.

19,000 people in Los Angeles fell silent — as if hypnotized — the moment Jack Black stepped onto the stage. No guitar. No band. Just his voice, echoing through The Forum like a prayer. And when the misfit frontman of Tenacious D locked eyes with the steel-hearted titan of Metallica, something wild, something primal, awakened. Jack Black cracked a joke. The crowd laughed — nervously. Then — like thunder on a clear night — he let out a guttural, instinctive howl: “Spoonman!” In that instant, two worlds that should’ve never met — comedy and thrash metal — fused together. Not to entertain. But to summon a spirit. And the name of Chris Cornell that night wasn’t just spoken. It was roared — like an echo from the underworld, tearing through flesh, ripping time apart
