Paul McCartney in Vancouver for 'One on One' tour
If you want to understand the appeal of Paul McCartney, just see the crowd that came out to see him in concert in Vancouver.
From old rockers like Sir Paul and the Beatles' early days to young children who know the lyrics of "Hey Jude," his music spans entire generations.

Sir Paul's One on One tour concert was a trip down memory lane.

—@tamara_balujaRemember back in 2012 he singed the roof at BC Place with fireworks?
The only literal flames shooting out Tuesday night were during his James Bond-theme song, "Live and Let Die."

—@tamara_balujaUnlike some other musicians, McCartney did not rely too much on pyrotechnics and costume changes.
In fact, as he removed his jacket after a song, he promised it would be the only wardrobe change that night.
The performance also included some nice Canadian touches: surprise guest Diana Krall joined McCartney for one song, and later McCartney waved a Canadian flag during the encore.
