Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has apparently been discussing a recurring dream he has which takes him back to the early days with his former band.
McCartney is quoted in today’s Mirror newspaper as saying that the dream involves the crowd walking out on a Beatles gig during a rendition of their 1963 debut UK chart-topper ‘From Me To You‘, and stems from a bad experience he once had while on lead guitar duties.
“I’m with The Beatles and it’s going great, then people start leaving,” he is reported as saying. “I turn to the others and go, ‘Oh God! ‘Long Tall Sally’ – that’ll get them back’.”
“The first time we ever played – pre-Beatles – I screwed up. So I never played lead guitar again. When The Beatles did Wembley for the first time, I felt sick. I thought, ‘I’ve got to give this up’.”
Sir Paul will start a three-date run at London’s O2 Arena tonight (December 5th), and will play a hometown gig at the Liverpool Echo Arena on December 20th.
