Paul McCartney and Ringo Star Perform Together

Paul McCartney and Ringo Star reunited onstage at the Radio City Music Hall for the first time in almost seven years on Saturday night.

The two surviving Beatles performed to help raise money for the David Lynch Foundation’s "Change Begins Within" benefit, which aimed to raise money in order to teach transcendental meditation techniques to one million children around the world. The Beatles themselves have used those same techniques.

During McCartney’s lengthy solo set he called Ringo to the stage saying:

"At this point we would like to introduce somebody to you who you know, you’ve heard his name. He’s going to come out here and play you a little song this joyful night. Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Shears!"

As it is, "Shears," Starr’s Sgt. Pepper pseudonym, and McCartney last played together in November 2002, at London’s Concert for George held in the wake of George Harrison’s death.
