Paul McCartney rocks Kiev (Drive My Car)

Thunder and lightning filled the skies yet the true electricity came from the stage as Sir Paul McCartney gave his first ever concert in Kiev on Saturday.

A record 350,000 braved the inclement weather to see the musician. The charity concert, in the former Soviet republic's Independence Square, was the Ukraine's biggest ever.

After greeting the excited audience in Ukrainian, Paul – who celebrates his 66th birthday next Wednesday – then got things rocking. A string of Beatles hits as well as his solo material then had the crowd singing and dancing.
