Last Thursday Paul celebrated his 73rd birthday. He kept on celebrating the next day headlining the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware. This was Paul's first appearance at the festival performing for tens of thousands of fans. And by the looks of this video, the crowd was dominated by young fans, like they could be Paul's grandchildren. It takes us to the festival grounds before the show and the kids are gushing with excitement. Then Paul arrives, greeted in a backstage tent by his band and crew singing, "you say it's your birthday"...very cool. The video wraps up with Paul walking out on stage and starting the show with, you guessed it...Birthday by the Beatles!

"Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing."-Paul McCartney

"Happy birthday Paul! We'd rather you be out playing too!"-Us
