Even at 68 years old he has still got it.

Veteran rockstar and former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney attracted an all-star audience for his first ever concert at the famed Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York last night.


A proud Sir Paul performed for two hours to a celebrity-packed audience to celebrate Sirus XM radio's 20 millionth subscriber.

The singer songwriter, who started his career over fifty years ago, clearly demonstrated his pride at being able to play at the celebrated venue which once hosted Marvin Gaye and Sammy Davis Jr.
'It’s the holy grail,' he said early in the set. 'I dreamed of playing here for many a year.'

He later went on to play Marvin Gaye's Hitch Hike, accompanied by his backing quartet, out of respect for the stage and its history.

He sung several Beatles classics including All My Loving and A Hard Days Night as well as songs by other artists like Jimi Hendrix.
He even paid special attention to the festive season by playing his 1970's hit Wonderful Christmastime.


The performance drew many of New York's celebrity clientèle including Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick, funnyman Jerry Seinfeld and Sirus XM's own shock-jock Howard Stern with his wife Beth Ostrosky Stern.
