Paul McCartney would like to have a brief word with his performing peers—emphasis on the brief.

The 81-year-old musician recently appeared on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, and bemoaned the length of concerts lately. In the late June interview, McCartney said that The Beatles “used to do a half hour. That was The Beatles’ thing: Half an hour, and we got paid for it.”

“Now, people will do three or four hours. I blame Bruce Springsteen,” he said. “I’ve told him so, I said, ‘It’s your fault.’”

“He ruined it for everyone,” O’Brien said, to McCartney’s enthusiastic agreement.

McCartney reasoned that back in the day, more acts would play on one bill, including comedians who would deliver four minutes of material. In contrast, the Beatles’ half-hour felt “epic,” he said.

Springsteen is known for his multi-hour concert extravaganzas, even at his current age of 73. McCartney has kept up with the times with a reportedly nearly three-hour concert length on his 2022 tour, though after these comments, you’ve got to wonder about his internal monologue and yearning for a nice, comfy place to sit.

The long shows aren’t just limited to the Guys With Guitars genre, either: Taylor Swift is turning in three-hour sets on her current Eras Tour, an extremely physical performance even when her trap doors are behaving, and Beyoncé, on her Renaissance Tour, is clocking in similarly epic performances. It makes your knees hurt just to think about it. Paul should count his blessings: At least he doesn’t have choreography.
