The Summer Live '09 tour by Paul McCartney was his fourth North American concert tour of the 21st century. The tour began on 11 July 2009 at the Halifax Common public parkland, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and closed at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on 19 August 2009.
McCartney performed three nights at the new Citi Field in New York City on 17, 18 and 21 July 2009, replicating his role as a Beatle opening the newly opened Shea Stadium in 1965.[1] To promote those concerts, McCartney appeared on Late Show with David Letterman on 15 July, and performed a seven song mini-concert atop the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater (although only two songs, "Get Back" and "Sing the Changes" were aired). Good Evening New York City, a live CD/DVD of the Citi Field concerts was released on 17 November 2009; furthermore, the Deluxe Edition contains the complete 7 song mini-concert.
