This was the fourteenth concert of the 2025 US leg of the “Got Back” tour, and Paul McCartney’s first concert in Pittsburgh since July 2014 and his Out There Tour
From Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, November 12, 2025:
These are crazy times we’re living in, and not just because of the obvious political stuff. On Tuesday night, a man who performed at the Civic Arena in 1964 with the band that changed the world played that same block as an 83-year-old — and crushed it! How? How is that possible?
Paul McCartney, who invaded these shores with the Beatles, arrived at PPG Paints Arena on the Got Back Tour with a true “eras” set that ran three times longer than the one played by the Fab Four 61 years ago.
It was the first visit here in 11 years for Sir Paul and, as always, he blew us away with his energy, craft, warmth, charisma and incomparable set list, running from The Quarrymen in 1958 through the Beatles and Wings to a song from seven years ago. […]
“Hello there, Pittsburgh,” he said, greeting the crowd. “Why do I get a feeling we’re gonna have a lot of fun in this place tonight? We’ve got some old songs, some new songs and some in between songs.
“This is definitely not a new song,” he said, introducing “Got to Get You Into My Life,” another tough one to sing. […]
So, how? How does Paul McCartney rock so hard at 83?! Who knows? It’s magic. And, somehow, in 2025, we had the great privilege to revel in it.
He left the stage with, “Hey Pittsburgh, it’s been a great party! And all that’s left to say is: We’ll see you next time!” Hopefully, it won’t be 11 years. He can’t be that superhuman.

From Paul McCartney | News | Penned on the Run: ‘GOT BACK’ Tour Diary 2025 Part 4:
You could feel the anticipation in the chilly Pittsburgh air for Paul’s first visit since the Out There tour rolled through in July 2014. The energy only built in momentum and intensity as every seat in the PPG Paints Arena filled, reaching a first of many crescendos at 8:15 when Paul hit the stage to begin the latest chapter in a legacy that stretches back to The Beatles’ 1961 set at the Civic Arena.
Pittsburgh was more than up for the evening’s initial barrage of rave-ups, offering up raucous Steel City receptions to “Drive My Car,” “Come on to Me” and “Let Me Roll It.” as the night flew by, a transcendent “Maybe I’m Amazed,” playful renditions of “I’ve Just Seen a Face” and “Love Me Do,” and heartstring-tugging versions of “Here Today” and “Now and Then” took each and every audience member on their own personal journey — one that ran the gamut of emotions, evoking memories while creating new ones in the moment.
“Something” hit particularly hard with the Pittsburgh crowd, moving Paul to add a little extra to this customary thanks to George for blessing us all with the gift of that song that perpetually keeps giving. “When I met George,” Paul said, “We were just a couple scruffs on the bus. Years later, he turned out to be a genius!”
If you’d thought at the time that the show had filled its quota of peaks, the final third of the 30+ song setlist would handily disabuse you of that notion, or as the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE so accurately put it, “If you walked in for the last hour, you saw one of the best things you’ve ever seen in your life… Paul’s voice was getting even stronger with every song.”
True that. From an epic “Band on the Run” through a ripping “Get Back” whose musical pyrotechnics were seen and raised by a literally combusting “Live and Let Die,” through a triumphant encore that kicked off with the Pittsburgh debut of Paul and John’s virtual duet on “I’ve Got a Feeling” and scaled final peaks that including the frenzied three-way guitar duel of “The End.” All in all, it was another unforgettable entry in a historic ledger of Paul’s Pittsburgh performances — one that undoubtedly had all in attendance feeling what the POST-GAZETTE put into words:
“So, how? How does Paul McCartney rock so hard at 83?!
Who knows?
It’s magic. And, somehow, in 2025, we had the great privilege to revel in it.”
