At one point I was doing the song “Yesterday,” which involves just me and a guitar, and they had a string quartet — the orchestra. It was just me on my own on the stage, and they had curtains, and a couple of guys on the curtains, local teamsters. They’re New York guys, you know, so they don’t care. And one of them turns to me and says, “Are you nervous?” — “no, it’s not too bad”. He said, “You should be. There are 73 million people watching.” I was like, “Oh, now I’m nervous.”
