If you're in Grand Central Station, you're one of three things: A tourist, someone who works there, or rushing like hell to get through it while silently cursing out the first category of people who keep stopping to take photos while you're running late.
Today, a fourth category was created: You could also be a rock legend celebrating their album release with a kickass concert inside the stunningly gorgeous New York City landmark.
On Friday (Sept. 7) evening, Paul McCartney celebrated the release of new album Egypt Station (his best LP in 13 years) with a nearly two-hour show live streamed by YouTube.
Taking the stage just before the YouTube live stream started, Macca – with his good-natured charm in full effect – coached the crowd on how to react during three particular concert moments.
