Paul McCartney is 76 years old. We may not want to bring everything back to age, at his nearly 60-year career. It prevents. In the middle of his concert this Wednesday at the Paris Defense Arena, there is bound to be a moment when one remains captivated by the coolness of the British rocker. When, for example, he delivers after 30 minutes of show, a furious version of "Let me roll it" all guitars out. Or when he comes on stage, almost as if nothing had happened, by illuminating the public more than his humble little person and balance of entry "Hard day's night". The most naturally in the world.
What stifle the whole room, despite a swirling sound and an echo typing on the bottom of this huge Arena. Never mind. It will have to do with. Fortunately, the repertoire remains breathtaking: "All my loving" where McCartney plays the nostalgia full of hits with carefree images of the Beatles in their infancy. The old "Got to get you Into my life" then the new "Come on to me" from his excellent last album "Egypt station" released in September. "It's great to come back here to Paris," he says in applied French. No need to add more. The songs speak for him. "My Valentine" at the piano, dedicated to his wife Nancy "who is here tonight", "Nineteen hundred and eighty five" treasure of the Wings, which he formed in 1971, after the separation of his mythical group. Or "In spite of all the danger", "the very first song recorded by the Beatles," he always tells in French, a piece that even dates from The Quarrymen, first fruits of the 4 of Liverpool.

An ideal moment, in the middle of the show, to highlight a handful of masterpieces: "From me to you", "Michelle", "the only song in French that we know," comments the star, "Love me do "," Blackbird ", always sublime, played alone on the guitar. Just like "Here today" shattering 1982 song addressed to John Lennon a few months after his death.
Images of the projected Beatles
That's all ? No, it's just the beginning. Because with McCartney when there are more, there are still some. It is enough to use in his gargantuan discography: "Eleanor Rigby", carried by the intact voice of the singer, "Something" started alone in the ukulele, dedicated to his "brother" George Harrison who had composed this jewel for the album "Abbey Road "in 1969. The images of the Beatles of the time scroll on the screens and with them, certainly, a part of the youth of the spectators. Just watch everyone in chorus "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and then "Band on the run" or "Back in the USSR" where the screens play with old images of the Soviet Union . It is believed that McCartney goes away when he goes to a corner of the stage.
No. It is to better join the piano and begin "Let it be". Moment of communion in the middle of a tide of lighted mobile phones, before the traditional explosions and real fireworks during "Live and let die" then a huge finale on "Hey Jude" where he makes the men sing, "go them guys, "and women," go girls, "encouraged in French.
After nearly 2.30, he returns for an ultimate reminder surrounded by three flags: French, English and gay. And there are still two incredible pieces of bravery: the incandescent "Helter Skelter" and an epic "Carry that weight". A certain idea of eternal youth.
