Paul McCartney Covers Prince In Minneapolis

Iconic performer Paul McCartney brought his One On One World Tour to the Target Center in Minneapolis last night. Macca saluted fellow musical legend Prince, who died last month, with a performance of one of his classic songs in his hometown.
Towards the end of last night’s show, McCartney and his band slyly segued from the Wings hit “Hi, Hi, Hi” into a quick romp through “Let’s Go Crazy.” The ensemble only played about a minute of the song and most of it was the guitar solo, but that didn’t stop the Minneapolis crowd from…going crazy. Paul and his band performed the bit of “Let’s Go Crazy” as Prince’s symbol was displayed on a backdrop behind them.
Paul McCartney has shared footage of last night’s “Let’s Go Crazy”:
