Live 8

The concert on 2nd July 2005 in London’s Hyde Park was one of ten simultaneous events designed to mark 20 years since Live Aid and encourage the G8 group of nations to redouble their efforts to combat world poverty. Paul opened the show by sharing a stage with U2 to perform ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.  Twelve hours later – after performances from the likes of Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Elton John and Robbie Williams - Paul returned to the stage with his band. They performed Get Back, Drive My Car, Helter Skelter and The Long And Winding Road before Paul was joined on stage for an all-star ending of Hey Jude.
