Summer Live '09

The Summer Live '09 tour by Paul McCartney was his fourth North American concert tour of the 21st century. The tour began on July 11, 2009 at the Halifax Common public parkland, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and closed at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on August 19, 2009.

McCartney performed three nights at the new Citi Field in New York City on July 17, 18, and 21, 2009, replicating his role as a Beatle opening the newly opened Shea Stadium in 1965.^[1] To promote those concerts, McCartney appeared on Late Show with David Letterman on July 15, and performed a seven song mini-concert atop the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater (although only two songs, "Get Back" and "Sing the Changes" were aired). Good Evening New York City, a live CD/DVD of the Citi Field concerts was released on November 17, 2009; furthermore, the Deluxe Edition contains the complete 7-song mini-concert.
