By all accounts, the fuel tank on gauge should be flashing “fuel soon.” The legendary musician brought the grace and wisdom of an elder statesman with the energy of a 20-year-old to the snark-tastic confines of the “The Colbert Report” on Wednesday. McCartney spent his time on the show doing a full interview and a short(er) set with a handpicked setlist of gems spanning from the Beatles to Wings.
The evening with Colbert was a warm-up for the former-Beatle’s big gig Friday night at Bonnaroo. Speaking of Bonnaroo, check out the five acts you shouldn’t miss according to Reverb over . Head over here to watch last night’s “Colbert Report” in its’ .
