McCartney performs free LA show
Sir Paul McCartney
Sir Paul has played a number of small gigs
Hundreds of Sir Paul McCartney fans camped outside a Los Angeles record shop for a free in-store concert by the former Beatle.

Sir Paul played to 300 fans on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard on Wednesday - with some fans having waited outside since Monday.

One, Toni Johnson, 55, said she had flown in from Chicago for the gig.

"It was noisy, cold, I was trying to sleep upright on a chair. But for Paul, it's worth it," she said.

"His music touches my soul and puts a smile on my face like no-one else can."

The show at the Amoeba Music record store followed small club gigs in New York and London.

But spokesman Paul Freundlich said Sir Paul had no plans to tour yet.

Sir Paul's latest album, Memory Almost Full, has been warmly received by critics.
