HAMBURG, Germany, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Music icon Paul McCartney has kicked off his "Good Evening Europe" concert tour in Hamburg, Germany, city officials said.
About 12,000 fans attended the event at Hamburg's Color Line Arena Wednesday night.
The former member of the the Beatles is scheduled to play a seven-date series of shows in the harbor-side city.
"The former Beatle's return to the city signifies the historic relationship between the Fab Four and Hamburg, which began almost 50 years ago," Hamburg Marketing said in a news release. "Between 1960 and 1962, The Beatles took residence in the city to perform a series of concerts in the clubs in Hamburg's Reeperbahn district. These legendary concerts created a platform on which The Beatles could hone their skills and develop themselves into the world-conquering band they later became. This mutual love and respect has never waned; Paul was quoted as saying, 'This is my chance to bring our current show home to where it all began.'"
