Paul McCartney said Bruce Springsteen is to blame for concerts lasting two or three hours compared to just 30 minutes during Beatlemania in the 1960s.
Paul McCartney said Bruce Springsteen's lengthy shows have pressured all musicians to perform longer concerts.
The legendary singer-songwriter said that promoters would ask comedians,"‘How long can you do? Four minutes? Can you do four minutes?' And the guy would say, ‘Yeah,’ so they would do four. So, we thought, ‘Half an hour, that’s like epic.’Fox News Digital has reached out to McCartney's rep for comment.
Springsteen admitted he"screwed the whole thing up by playing too f------ long" in an interview with O’Brien in 2020, agreeing the Beatles’ 30-minute concerts didn’t sound"so bad" when the comedian compared their show lengths with his. The Beatles did only 30-minute concerts, Paul McCartney said. McCartney also admitted recently he considered leaving music behind after the Beatles broke up in 1970. "The main question I had was whether to keep going after the Beatles because it was a hard act — some might say, an impossible act — to follow," the 81-year-old, who's had a highly successful solo career, said in the most recent edition of his newsletter.
"There’s a couple of times in life when you are forced into taking a risk. After the Beatles, this was my situation: ‘Do I keep going with music, or not?’" he wrote."The risk paid off."

Unseen photos taken by Paul McCartney show BeatlemaniaPersonal and previously unseen photographs taken by musician Paul McCartney as 'Beatlemania' was soaring in the 1960s have gone on display at The National Portrait Gallery in London. Images of McCartney and his former Beatles bandmates - John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison - as young men flying to America, relaxing by a pool in Miami and being chased by photographers in New York form part of 'Paul McCartney Photographs 1963- 64: Eyes of the Storm.' 'They document this period in which they went from sort of Beatlemania in Britain through to global fame - through... their first ever visit to America,' exhibition curator Rosie Broadley said. There are over 250 photographs from McCartney's archive on display, which even his team hadn't seen for decades. One image, which Broadley said is a favourite of McCartney's, show's George Harrison in a pair of sunglasses relaxing with a drink and cigarette by a pool a few days after the Beatles had performed to millions of people on hit U.S. television programme 'The Ed Sullivan Show'. 'I don't know quite if what had just happened has actually sunk in, but this photograph just shows George really enjoying .. the good life,' Broadley said Another shot taken in Washington shows a young girl looking in at McCartney through a car window. 'A lot of (the photographs are) very intimate and personal....which is why it's called 'The Eyes of the Storm,'' Broadley said. 'It's the inside looking out. It just gives this other layer of personal experience.' With photographs taken in London, Paris and across America, the exhibition is on until October 2023.
