London
(ANI):
Former
Beatle
Sir
Paul
McCartney
says
his
gigs
are
a
way
of
connecting
with
other
members
of
the
band
and
his
late
wife
Linda.
The
singer
was
speaking
at
a
London
bar
where
he
released
his
new
CD
and
DVD
set,
titled
Good
Evening
New
York
City.
When
asked
if
his
performances
were
a
tribute
to
the
late
John
Lennon
and
George
Harrison
and
deceased
wife
Linda,
he
answered:
“Yeah,
it
is
you
know.
If
I'm
doing
songs
by
the
Beatles
I
obviously
remember
the
sessions
we
recorded,
there's
always
an
element
of
that.
But
if
I'm
doing
something
like
Something,
the
song,
obviously
I'm
thinking
of
George...It's
great
actually,
I
really
like
it.
In
a
way
I'm
revisiting
them," the
Telegraph
quoted
McCartney,
as
saying
He
added:
'm
sort
of
thinking
about
George
...
similarly
with
John
and
Linda.
In
a
way
you're
kind
of
in
contact
with
them
again
you
know.
And
it's
sad,
it's
emotional.
There's
a
song
I
do
called
Here
Today
which
is
specifically
written
for
John
and
that
sometimes
catches
me
out.
It
catches
me
out
in
this
film
version
where
I
realise
I'm
telling
this
man
that
I
love
him
...
I'm
publicly
declaring
this
in
front
of
all
these
people
I
don't
know."
“It's
a
good
thing
to
do.
I
couldn't
have
done
it
when
I
was
18
because
I
would
not
have
allowed
myself
to
cry
or
go
anywhere
near
that
...
Now
it's
OK.
I'm
used
to
it."
