Paul McCartney played for 300 at an ex-biker bar in the California desert on Thursday night.

Sir Paul went were no superstar had ever gone before, to Pappy and Harriets near Joshua Tree.

McCartney announced the instant show on his website in the morning for the show that night. The cost … 50 bucks.

Pappy and Harriets is a honky-tonk BBQ restaurant in Pioneertown, California. The place was built in 1946 as cowboy movie set for movies by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. The building has appeared in more than 50 films and TV shows including The Cisco Kid and Judge Roy Bean.

Pappy and Harriets became a biker bar in 1972. That lasted 10 years. It became the venue it is today in 1982. Babes In Toyland had their first reunion show there in 2015.
