I am – Hercules!!

On Friday, July 17, Paul McCartney returned to the site of the Beatles’ 1965 Shea Stadium concert to perform 34 songs, 21 of which were Beatles tunes.

ABC tonight is devoting 44 minutes or so to the two-hour concert in a Thanksgiving-night special.

The set list from that night (it grows increasingly Beatle-y as it goes along):
