Paul McCartney was reminded just why he loves touring South America last night as fans in Florianopolis in Brazil gave him a welcome he will never forget.

As Paul took to the stage in the Ressacada Stadium, the roar that went up was so loud, it seemed like it might even drown out the music.

At the same time the rain came down and it continued to pour down through the entire show. The rain certainly didn't dampen any spirits. The fans were in fine singing voice too, joining in with Paul as he ran through his biggest and best loved hits – with a few surprises as always - in a set that lasted almost three hours and included tracks from The Beatles, Wings and his unrivalled solo material including My Valentine.

The show was Paul’s last in South America for over a week, when he returns for dates in Mexico.
