SAN JOSE, Calif. — Further proof that it must be really, really good to work for Apple Computers came on Tuesday night when none other than Paul McCartney performed a private concert for employees at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino.

Yeah, all that and a stock purchase plan, too? Must be nice.

The Sir Paul show, held at Apple Park (aka, “The Spaceship”), was part of the celebration for Apple’s 50th anniversary.

Employees had to enter a lottery in order to gain admission to the concert, according to the New York Post.

What those fortunate lottery winners would then see wasn’t one of those abbreviated corporate-event-style performances, but rather what appears to have been McCartney’s generous full-length regular show.

The Beatles legend would lead his band through a 25-song set, which included a three-song encore, according to information posted on setlist.fm.

As per usual, McCartney leaned heavily into his Fab Four catalog, opening the show with “Help!” — a song originally sung by John Lennon that McCartney has been performing on this tour for the first time in his solo career — and then going on to play more than a dozen other Beatles classics.

Fab Four favorites performed on this night reportedly included “Love Me Do,” “Blackbird,” “Lady Madonna,” “Something,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” and, of course, “Hey Jude,” the classic crowd-singalong that closed the 22-song main set.

The encore was all Beatles, as McCartney delivered the famed three-shot blast of “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight” and “The End” that also brings the wondrous Side 2 of 1969’s “Abbey Road” to a close. (Yes, Fab Four fanatics, we realize that Side 2 actually closes with that short, once-upon-a time hidden, track of “Her Majesty” — but our previous point still stands.)

McCartney also loaded up on Wings and solo numbers, offering up such numbers as “Coming Up,” “Let Me Roll,” “Maybe I’m Amazed,” ‘Live and Let Die” and, of course, “Band on the Run” for these fortunate Apple employees.

Sounds like a fantastic evening for employees — and a great way to mark the company’s 50th anniversary.

And, no, it’s not to late to turn in your application in hopes of being at “The Spaceship” when Apple hosts an employee-only concert in celebration of its 100th anniversary.

And we’re going on record right now with our prediction that Taylor Swift will play that show.
