#13: Paul McCartney

Good news—no “Freedom.” And thankfully, no bizarre “A Hard Day’s Night” duet with Terry Bradshaw like at the 2001 Super Bowl. Instead, Paul McCartney did what he does best: blazing through timeless classics with no gimmicks, just pure, effortless rock star charisma.

He surprised everyone by opening with “Drive My Car,” setting the tone in true beep-beep fashion. Then he cranked up “Live and Let Die” into a full-blown stadium-shaking spectacle. No over-the-top theatrics, no distractions—just Macca, his legendary catalog, and a crowd that couldn’t get enough. Oh, and the game? That wasn’t half bad either.
