Denver

This was the fourth concert of the 2025 US leg of the “Got Back” tour, following performances in Palm Desert, Las Vegas and Albuquerque. It was his first concert in Denver since 2010.

From 303 Magazine, October 17, 2025:

On Saturday, October 11th, Sir Paul McCartney came to Denver’s Coors Field to remind all packed into that massive stadium that peace still exists in this chaotic world. The show felt near mythic, the kind that comes around only a few times in a life, that imprints itself onto the souls of all in attendance. Even though the show felt quite laidback, awash with color and whimsy, history unfolding before our eyes, it felt deeply monumental given the times we find ourselves in. It brought together 50,000 disparate people — many local, many having traveled from places all over the world — and united them in one place to celebrate peace and love and music. It served to remind us all that despite whatever perceived differences exist between us, these threads we follow in our lives are intertwined, our hearts beat the same rhythms, our skin grows the same goosebumps when presented with some of the greatest songs ever written and we are sharing this world, this life, this universe together as one. We are all searching for peace and Paul McCartney’s show at Coors Field encouraged us to never give up the search. […]

From Paul McCartney | News | Penned on the Run: ‘GOT BACK’ Tour Diary 2025 Part 2:

Most every night on the GOT BACK trail is an unforgettable experience for all involved — from those of us behind the scenes to the devoted generations of fans who fill these arenas and stadiums to the rafters — we’re all fortunate enough to be on this planet at the right time to be taking this ride.

There are certain evenings, however, that are just a little extra-magical — it’s impossible to explain or replicate that lightning or how or when it strikes, but we all know it when we feel it.

And feel it we did on Saturday, October 11 when Paul McCartney returned to Denver for the first time since his 2010 stop at the Pepsi Center, this time taking over downtown Denver for a musical communion of some 50,000+ ecstatic souls at the massive Coors Field.

There was an exceptionally strong charge in the air, raising hair and goosebumps for nearly three solid hours from the opening salvo of ‘Help!’ through to the closing strains of ‘The End’. Highlights abounded — pretty much every number would qualify as one to the tens of thousands in attendance, singing along to every word as if their lives depended on it, and catalyzing a chemistry and intensity that Paul and the band reciprocated in spades throughout impassioned readings of certified bangers ‘Got to Get You Into My Life,’ ‘Drive My Car’, ‘Getting Better’ and ‘Jet’, esoteric deep cuts ‘Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!’ and ‘Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five’, and an absolutely transcendent ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ that had couples of all ages swaying in the aisles.

‘Let It Be’ inspired an ocean of mobile phone lights in a heartfelt homage to the days of actual lighter flames being held aloft — and speaking of objects being held high in the crowd, Denver featured an exceptional array of fan-made signs, including one in Japanese that caught Paul’s eye and resulted in a quick lesson in Japanese for the Mile High crowd. Thanks to that gentleman’s sign, 50,000+ fans went home that night having learnt from Paul what “Saiko” means in English.

Winding up the main set on the ecstatic note of a stadium-shaking full-crowd ‘Hey Jude’ singalong, Paul and the band retook the Coors Field stage, brandishing a customary assortment of US, Colorado, UK and Pride flags before launching into an all-Beatles encore of ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’, ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, ‘Helter Skelter’,’Golden Slumbers’, ‘Carry That Weight’ and ‘The End’.

As stated above, it’s impossible to define what exactly makes a show like this one so exceptional — though the DENVER POST offered a succinct take, recounting that Paul “gave it his all from start to finish… his earnest warmth added poignance to predictable nostalgia, and reminded us that not only was he a musical legend, but a vigorously living one,” while WESTWORD added “he recognises the rawest and most significant power music carries: love.”

Even those words may fail to explain it adequately, but they’re in the ballpark (pun intended).
