Paul McCartney performed in front of 350,000 people in Kiev tonight (June 14), the largest audience for a gig Ukraine has ever seen.
The former Beatle and his band performed a mammoth 33-song set in the capital's Independence Square, playing songs including 'Drive My Car', 'Blackbird', 'Penny Lane' and 'Hey Jude'.
McCartney also performed a number of songs from his solo career and his time with Wings, such as 'Jet', 'C Moon', 'Dance Tonight' and 'Mrs Vanderbilt', the latter of which fans had petitioned for.
The gig was simultaneously broadcast on giant screens in six other Ukrainian cities and on television, with an estimated 10 million people watching.
After performing a number of encores, McCartney finished the set with 'Yesterday' and 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
