Following two performances in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 5 and October 6, Paul traveled to Santiago, Chile, on October 8, ahead of his scheduled concert on the 11th. This concert marked the fourth performance of his 2024 “Got Back” tour and the sixth time Paul had performed in Chile.
From La Tercera, October 12, 2024 (auto-translated from Spanish):
[…] Macul’s cold night’s close-kick provided the framework for welcoming Sir Paul McCartney, at one of the most anticipated concerts of the season. By the end of September he had already passed through Iquique for a technical scale, before flying to Montevideo, but at last, the time came for the reunion with the Chilean fanatic.
On his fifth visit to the country, after the shows in 1993, 2011, 2014 and 2019, the former Beatle appeared for the first time at the Monumental Stadium. He had previously played at the National Stadium and at the Movistar Arena. Preparations for the show began on Sunday, October 6 and spread during the week. A time that also served as a rest to the 82-year-old musician, who came from two nights in a row at the Monumental de River in Buenos Aires. […]
The musician left from the east-sector hotel where he was staying, heading to the Monumental Stadium after 3:30 p.m. Shortly afterwards, it was already possible to note the high public call that filled the towns of the Coliseum.
The wait was enlivened with the solid presentation of the Chileans of Dunver, who performed a set in which they showed the best of their material. Then they were followed by a DJ and an introductory video reviewing the life trajectory of “Macca” (with abundant images of The Beatles). Among the audience was also the President, Gabriel Boric, who accompanied by his partner, was located in the Rapa Nui sector. It was received with mixed expressions, between applause and some pifias. There he met a famous beatlemaniac, the Chilean musician Álvaro Henríquez, with whom he melted into a hug and took a photograph for posterity.
With almost 15 minutes of delay, the expected time arrived. Finally, a Beatle was back in Chile. A closed ovation received Sir Paul McCartney, who unlike his recent shows in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, started the presentation with Can’t buy me love, a Beatlemania-era classic, unleashing the algarabía of the respectable. He immediately lashed out at Juniors Farm, a classic Wings. After that, he greeted in Spanish the respectable: Hello, kids and little girls. Then he followed the show with Letting Go, another Wings-era theme, which he had even bronze section playing from the Indian rostrum. A lively Paul chapured some phrases in Spanish. “That’s a good wave,” he said. […]
After his concert in the country, Paul McCartney will leave Chile this Saturday to follow his next destination, Brazil, where he has on schedule presentations in Sao Paulo and Florioanópolis. Then he will return to Argentina for a presentation in Córdoba, followed by shows in Lima, Bogotá and San José de Costa Rica, to close the Latin stage with four concerts in Mexico. Legend doesn’t seem to want to stop. In almost three hours he dispatched a memorable show that will surely be among the best of the year.

Just GOT BACK from the concert in Santiago and it was absolutely packed from the front to the back of the stadium. I could barely move most of the time.
The show itself was great, prices for the official merchandise were lower than in Argentina and much lower than in Uruguay. Opening song was Can’t Buy Me Love and once again he sang Drive My Car, so She’s A Woman was performed in Uruguay only so far. Birthday was part of the encore.
The crowd was really into it, showing white balloons during Now And Then. He improvised a couple of quick “ole ole ole ole” jams (after mentioning “I have no idea what you’re singing”) and before playing Here Today he said “I’ll say this quickly before you start chanting again”.
Subway usually closes at 11 PM but fortunately it was extended to 1:30 AM specially for Paul’s concert.
A couple of crosswalks that looked just like the ones at Abbey Road in London were installed in one of the streets around the stadium, complete with those round yellow lamps on the top.

Paul McCartney – From Paul McCartney on Instagram, October 11, 2024
From Daily Mail Online, October 12, 2024:
Sir Paul McCartney helped a Chilean couple get engaged on Friday evening before his sold-out show at the Monumental Stadium in Santiago, Chile. During soundcheck for his show, the Beatles star, 82, spotted Yamil Álamo and Leonora Pereira in the crowd dressed as 1970s versions of himself and his late wife Linda McCartney.
The couple also held up a sign which read ‘Paul: Give us a handshake and we’ll get married‘, and upon noticing them, he sweetly invited them both on stage. Once they were on stage, Yamil got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend of six years, Leonora.
Discussing the heartwarming moment that they will never forget, Yamil said: ‘This was a very special moment for us, because for many years we have tried to meet him and today is the day! I don’t have words to describe the experience.‘
The couple, who are from the city of La Serena, have previously travelled internationally to attend his concerts. They plan to tie the knot to the soundtrack of the McCartney classic Maybe I’m Amazed’. […]
