<p>At the age of 68, Sir Paul McCartney has the richest catalogue in pop music to indulge in.</p>
<p>On a snowy night at Harlem&#8217;s historic Apollo Theatre, with a frisky band and a live radio audience, McCartney clearly enjoyed the journey. He performed a two-hour, 27-song set in front of celebrities such as Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin, Martha Stewart, Tony Bennett and Rolling Stone Ron Wood.</p>
<p>The New York theatre was dressed up in searchlights and a red carpet for the event, which was part of promotions for a deluxe reissue of his Band On The Run album. </p>
<p>McCartney alluded to the influence that many of the musicians who played the Apollo had on him. &#8220;I know it&#8217;s special to you New Yorkers,&#8221; he said. &#8220;To us British boys, it&#8217;s really special.&#8221;</p>
<p>His one tribute to the locale, a spirited cover of Marvin Gaye&#8217;s 1962 hit Hitch Hike, was unfortunately marred by technical difficulties. The microphones went quiet halfway through the song, forcing McCartney and his four-piece band to stop. They tried again, only to have to stop again. The third time worked.</p>
<p>McCartney&#8217;s band makes some of his songs, like Maybe I&#8217;m Amazed and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, far more muscular than they are on record.</p>
<p>The hits came fast and furious toward the end &#8211; Let it Be, Hey Jude, Get Back, Yesterday. But this concert was most delightful when McCartney reached toward some less expected material. </p>
<p>This included one of the oldest Lennon-McCartney compositions, One After 909, the Rubber Soul chestnut I&#8217;m Looking Through You and his ukelele-accompanied Dance Tonight. Also fun were the handful of cuts brought out to highlight Band On The Run.</p>
<p>McCartney performed A Day In The Life as a medley with Give Peace A Chance, a John Lennon solo cut that had a Lennon-McCartney songwriting credit on its 1969 release.</p>
