From an interview on this day in 1969:
“McCartney ended by looking into the future, saying he didn’t want to be playing rock ‘n’ roll at “sixty with grey hair,” but that he’d continue singing and making music until his last days.”
I have a question. I was at the concert in Estadio La Liga in “Quito” and I was very surprise when he played “All You Need is Love” almost at the end of the concert. It was just a little snippet of the song. Usually, Paul only plays one John Lennon’s song in his concerts. In that concert he had already played fully “For the Benefit of Mr. Kite”; so why he played All You Need is Love? Here’s my hypothesis: Ecuador is engaged in a heavy tourism campaign and bought the right to use ‘All you need is love’ song. I believe he was asked to play the song at the concert by some Ecuadorian authorities… perhaps the president itself. Is that possible? How Paul may have felt about it?
Maybe he did not like the use of the All you need is love song so he sang it in order to making a point.
