The second night of Weekend Two at Desert Trip brought both Paul McCartney and Neil Young back to Indio. It also brought a huge surprise guest.
The crowd went nuts when Rihanna took the stage to perform “FourFive Seconds” with McCartney:
Rihanna left the stage after the song, at which point McCartney joked about how someone under 50 was at the festival.
McCartney’s also teamed up with opener Neil Young once again for “A Day in the Life” which led into a mashup of “Give Peace a Chance” and “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?”
The set contained plenty of hits and a couple of howls from McCartney – as the venue had a great view of a full moon overhead.

Fest goers not only got music from Neil Young, they also got free seeds. SEEDS!
Young, as he told the crowd, is not a fan of laws governing the transportation of seeds throughout the state, so in some sort of protest, he handed out free seed packets to the crowd.
What a souvenir!
