Over 45 years after he first visited with The Beatles, Paul McCartney returned to the Ed Sullivan Theater last night. His appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman was laced with history, humor and a high performance from on top the outdoor marquee.

In the clip above, you can see him perform “Coming Up,” “Band on the Run,” “Let Me Roll It,” “Helter Skelter” and “Back in the U.S.S.R.” to the large crowd below. Then after the jump, check out a portion of McCartney’s interview with the late night host.
