After a 43-year wait, Paul McCartney performed his first concert in Israel on Thursday, kicking it off with the familiar Beatles song "Hello, Goodbye" to the joy of tens of thousands of cheering fans in Tel Aviv.
McCartney billed the concert "Friendship First," saying he's on a mission of peace for Israel and the Palestinians.
Singing "Give Peace a Chance," he stopped and let the audience sing the chorus alone. "Here tonight you sang it, you want it," the 66-year-old rocker said. He dedicated the song to his fellow Beatle, John Lennon, who was killed in New York in 1980.
Fireworks lit the sky as McCartney sang "Live and Let Die."
