Paul McCartney pretty much stuck to script for his second Desert Trip concert, with one exception … an appearance by Rihanna.

Rihanna (and the Donald Trump of rap Kanye West) gave McCartney his most recent hit. McCartney performed the song last weekend at Desert Trip, but this week it came it added Rihanna.

Young, who opened the show, came back on to perform The Beatles ‘A Day In the Life’, John Lennon’s ‘Give Peace A Chance’ and for the very second time ever live The Beatles ‘Why Don’t We Do It In The Road’ with Paul McCartney.
