SF Gate has coverage of Paul's performance Tuesday at a 50th anniversary event for Apple (the tech outfit, not the Beatles' company).
Highlights:
Apple employees already get a lot of perks, from heavily discounted products to luxe cafeterias, but last night’s 50th anniversary celebration may have topped them all. Apple’s Cupertino headquarters hosted a private concert by the one and only Paul McCartney.
Fresh off a series of intimate shows in Los Angeles at the 1,200-capacity Fonda Theatre, McCartney performed on an elaborate rainbow-roofed stage with copious amounts of flames and fireworks. It’s unclear how many people were allowed to take in the show, but the 12,000 employees of the Cupertino campus had to enter a lottery for tickets to attend, according to the New York Post. Video posted online shows him walking through a crowd alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook, before Cook introduced him onstage.
“A songwriter, a pioneer and one of the most influential artists of all time. I’ve been a lifelong fan of his music, and so have billions of people all over the planet. Sir Paul will be out in a few minutes. Enjoy the show, I love you,” Cook said.
