Paul McCartney caught the attendees of a recent show at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York, by surprise and performed the Beatles hit song of 1963, “I Saw Her Standing There.” The attendees were pleased to see the Fab Four’s frontman as he strutted the stage in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt.
Joining Paul for the impromptu act were the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, producer Andrew Watt, and guitarist G.E. Smith. Watt posted the wholesome moment to his Instagram, featuring Paul singing the chorus as he put his hand on Watt’s shoulder.
