Description

Two weeks ago, Paul McCartney set a new world record. On the third leg of his Get Back concert tour he played to 184,000 people at the world’s biggest football stadium in Rio de Janeiro. It was the largest audience for any single performer, putting Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra onto the sidelines. On the telephone from his home, McCartney says he’s over the moon. Interviewer is Sarah Dickinson.
