SIR Paul McCartney performed in front of 200,000 people in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, on Saturday.
The former Beatle braved lightning and torrential rain to sing a range of Beatles classics and solo material.
During his first concert in the former Soviet Republic, Sir Paul opened his set with Drive My Car followed by other Beatles songs, Hey Jude, Back in the USSR and Penny Lane.
The free Independence Concert, organised by Ukrainian billionaire businessman Viktor Pinchuk, was also broadcast live on TV across the country and on giant screens set up in five other cities.
Sir Paul finished with two encores, ending on Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
