Paul McCartney brilha no especial de 50 anos do Saturday Night Live com medley de Abbey Road

Paul McCartney encerrou o especial de 50 anos do Saturday Night Live com uma performance memorável de um medley do icônico álbum de 1969 dos Beatles, Abbey Road. O medley incluiu “Golden Slumbers”, “Carry That Weight” e “The End”, marcando uma conclusão apropriada para a celebração do legado do lendário programa de esquetes cômicos. McCartney começou ao piano com “Golden Slumbers”, transitando suavemente para “Carry That Weight” e concluindo com “The End”, onde ele trocou para o violão elétrico para um solo. A performance ecoou seus shows surpresa recentes no Bowery Ballroom, em Nova York, onde ele tocou o mesmo medley como bis.

O especial de aniversário, que foi ao ar ao vivo do Radio City Music Hall, em Nova York, contou com uma programação repleta de estrelas, incluindo performances musicais, monólogos e esquetes clássicos. Mais cedo no programa, Paul Simon e Sabrina Carpenter abriram com um dueto de “Homeward Bound”, de Simon, uma homenagem à performance de Simon em 1976 da mesma música com George Harrison no SNL. O evento de três horas também incluiu aparições de lendas da comédia como Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler e Eddie Murphy, além de performances musicais de Lil Wayne, Brittany Howard e outros.

A aparição de McCartney marcou sua quinta vez como convidado musical do SNL, com sua performance mais recente em 2012. Seu medley de Abbey Road não apenas celebrou o marco do SNL, mas também destacou a influência duradoura da música dos Beatles. A performance foi recebida com aclamação generalizada, consolidando o status de McCartney como uma lenda viva tanto na música quanto na cultura pop.
