Paul McCartney plays “Now and Then” live during soundcheck
This evening, October 1st, from Montevideo in Uruguay Paul McCartney’s “Got back” tour will restartwhich after South America will also return in concert in the United Kingdom and Europe. While waiting to see the 82-year-old British musician back on stage, some fans speculate that in the ladder a song never played live before could come in, that is “Now and then“, the Beatles’ “last unreleased song”, released on November 2 last year.
As testified by some video shared online, during the soundcheck at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo yesterday, McCartney has indeed tried the piece live.
Furthermore, it was published on the former Beatle’s official channels a behind-the-scenes video of the tour which, including moments in which they seem to come frames of the video projected on the screens musical of “Now and then”, seems to confirm the suspicions.
The clip that accompanies the song, released last year in a single whose double A-side associates the last Beatles song with the firstor the band’s 1962 debut UK single, “Love me do”, was directed by Peter Jackson, former director of the Beatles documentary film “Get back”, which focused on the making of the Liverpool quartet’s album “Let it well”.
