Paul McCartney performed at the Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas, USA, on 14 November 2012.
It was the 34th show of the On The Run Tour, which lasted for 37 dates between July 2011 and November 2012.
The venue opened as Enron Field in 2000, but two years later was renamed Astros Field. Later that year it became the Minute Maid Park, but is also known as the Juice Box or the Ballpark at Union Station. It is the home of the Houston Astros baseball team.
Here’s a clip of the ‘Live And Let Die’ finale:
Towards the end of the show McCartney held a Texas flag aloft, to cheers from the crowd.
McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar), and Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums).

Everyone who saw this concert or any other by paul is very lucky. I have only seen billions of concert videos and I hope he will come to vienna (or munich which is near enough to go there for a paul concert) again sometime
