From Salon, June 26th 2015:

Last night in South Carolina, Paul McCartney dedicated a song to the victims of last week’s mass shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. “This next song we would like to dedicate to all the people in Charleston,” said McCartney. “We show how solid we are with them after they’ve been through this tragedy.

My wife and I went to this concert, is was a great show, at his age doing a 40 song set was incredible! He rocked the whole night, his voice was a tad rough and broke on a couple notes at the beginning but after the 3rd song it was pure McCartney. We were up in the side balcony and couldn't believe the feel of the heat when he di Live and Let Die, it must be really warm at the piano where he was playing. All in all it was a wonderful night with a musical legend, A magical performer and hey, he's a Beatle. Great show!
