-Paul McCartney said that “These days, pretty much there’s the main act and there might be a warm-up act,” while in the 1960s there were "a lot of people on the bill because nobody did long. You can’t now do an hour. We used to do a half hour. That was The Beatles' thing - half an hour, and we got paid for it". He explained that they played 30 minutes "because there were a lot of people on the bill" back then. "That was it. A Beatles show, we were on and off like that. It didn't seem strange"
-"Now, people will do three or four hours. I blame Bruce Springsteen - I’ve told him so, I said, ‘It’s your fault,'", jokingly commented Paul. Springsteen, 73, has been performing shows that last between three and four hours since "The River Tour" in 1980
