Various dancers and a contortionist 2. Entrance Paul McCartney 3. Live Performance 'Hello' Paul McCartney 4. Live Performance 'Jet' Paul McCartney FROM IMPERIAL BALLROOM TO IMPERIAL ROME Ringed by the crumbling beauty of the Colosseum, Paul McCartney belted out a string of old hits such as 'Yesterday' and 'Hey Jude' at one veritably old venue. Sir Paul McCartney played to the biggest crowd Rome has seen since the age of the gladiators as he played the biggest show of his incredible four decade-career - to half a million fans. The free concert outside the city's historic Colosseum which proved to be an unprecedented crowd-puller. Fans jammed the streets around the ancient site as the ex-Beatle performed in the shadow of the imposing Roman structure. Estimates by city officials put the figure at around 500,000 - 10 times more than would have gathered inside the building to watch gladiatorial battles during the days of the Roman Empire. Exactly 40 years earlier Sir Paul was playing to 2,000 fans at the Imperial Ballroom in Nelson, Lancashire, as Beatlemania took hold when the band enjoyed their first number one, 'From Me To You'. The huge concert in Rome followed a more modestly sized show in front of paying guests the previous night inside the Colosseum. Sir Paul played an acoustic concert in the arena with a set of his own, Wings and Beatles, with tickets costing up to #1,000. The venue is rarely open for concerts and profits went to Rome's archaeological offices and the Adopt-a-Minefield charity.
