Paul McCartney's Out There! show July 7 at the Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway featured a special moment to honor his father and fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, his press office told Beatles Examiner today. Both men were born on July 7, so McCartney dedicated a special rendition of "Birthday" to them. Ringo is celebrating his 75th birthday today.

Other than “Birthday,” which replaced “Hi Hi Hi," there was only one other change to the set from the previous show. “Eight Days a Week” replaced “Magical Mystery Tour” as the opening number.

Here's the official set list for the Telenor Arena show in Oslo, Norway as released by Paul McCartney's press office Tuesday.

Also, “Maybe I'm Amazed,” “I've Just Seen a Face,” “We Can Work It Out,” “Another Day,” “Hope for the Future,” “And I Love Her,” “Blackbird,” “Here Today,” “NEW,” “Queenie Eye,” “Lady Madonna,” “All Together Now,” “Lovely Rita,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite,” “Something,” “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da,” “Band on the Run,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Let It Be,” “Live and Let Die,” “Hey Jude.” Encore: “Another Girl,” “Birthday” (dedication to Ringo Starr and Paul's dad, replaced “Hi Hi Hi”) “Can't Buy Me Love,” “Yesterday,” “Helter Skelter,” “Golden Slumbers”/“Carry That Weight”/“The End.”
