In this highlight from Behind The Hits: Paul McCartey, we find out who the legendary Beatle blames for the rise of 3 hour shows!

The legendary Paul McCartney is no stranger to mesmerising audiences for hours. From his early days with the Beatles, where performances hardly surpassed the half-hour mark, to his present-day gigs spanning close to three hours, Sir Paul has always known how to entertain.

Why the shift in concert length? While McCartney might jestingly place some of the "blame" on Bruce Springsteen, there's an evident trend in the music industry. Rock legends like the Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen himself regularly set the bar high, often passing the three-hour threshold in their live performances.

The iconic Beatle recently shared a light-hearted exchange with Springsteen on the topic. "I said to him 'Listen, I blame you because people used to do sensible length concerts, then he starts doing four hours and it's like 'Oh we could do a bit more?'" McCartney recalled.

It’s evident that artists today are not just performing to showcase their tracks, but to give their fans an immersive experience, ensuring they get their money’s worth and more.

To dive deeper into this trend and hear more of Paul's musings on extended setlists, tune into Behind the Hits, a show hosted by the dynamic Dave Gleeson. It's a deep dive into the world of music, its evolution, and the stories that shaped some of the most iconic tracks.

For fans down under, the good news doesn't stop here. Paul McCartney’s "Get Back Australian tour" is all set to woo audiences in Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. This will be happening in the months of October and November. Tickets are up for grabs on frontiertouring.com/paulmccartney
