Paul McCartney Leaves Fans 'Stunned in Awe' with Impromptu Performance of Beatles Hit in Hamptons
The 82-year-old rock icon hit the stage at Stephen Talkhouse and performed “I Saw Her Standing There” on Aug. 20
Paul McCartney’s still got it — and he’s not afraid to show it!
The Beatles member, 82, recently surprised patrons at Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, N.Y., with an impromptu performance.
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, record producer Andrew Watt, legendary guitarist G.E. Smith and more took to the stage at the intimate Hamptons venue as scheduled — and then the “Band on the Run” musician joined them for a surprise song.
The track the group performed? A Beatles classic, of course.

Clad in an ultra-casual ensemble — jeans and a sweatshirt — McCartney rocked the house with a rendition of The Beatles' 1963 song “I Saw Her Standing There,” which he and John Lennon wrote.
In videos shared by Billboard and Watt himself, the “FourFiveSeconds” artist holds a mic and belts the hit, laughing and grabbing the "Die with a Smile" producer’s shoulder as they perform together under a disco ball.
"So how could I dance with another? / When I saw her standing there?” McCartney sang as the crowd — and band members — went wild.
Alongside footage of the special moment, Watt wrote, “So last night @chadsmithofficial and I burned the @talkhousebar to the ground and then @paulmccartney desecrated the place…dream like sequence."
In the comments of the producer’s post, several musicians shared their awe at McCartney's fun cameo. “This Is Insane! ????????,” wrote Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath, while another member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea, said, “Thats f— rad.”

Ryan Sherman of Three Mile Media, who photographed the show, provided still more footage of the impromptu moment from side stage — and shared more details about how McCartney's surprise performance was received at the venue.
He wrote that the audience at Stephen Talkhouse was “stunned in awe” when McCartney “jumped on stage.”
Plus, to conclude the performance, the rock legend “dropped the mic when he finished like a rap battle and walked off,” Sherman added. “Mind blown. ???? one of the coolest things we’ve all ever seen.”
