Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr appeared on stage together for the first time in seven years on Saturday night at “Change Begins Within,” a benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

The pair appeared on the show headlined by McCartney in aid of the David Lynch Foundation, a charity fronted by the filmmaker, which promotes transcendental meditation among schoolchildren.

The 66-year-old singer-songwriter played several Beatles tunes as well as some from his solo career before bringing Ringo onstage to perform “With a Little Help from My Friends”.

McCartney also paid a tearful tribute to the late John Lennon, reports the BBC, before playing “Here Today”, a song he wrote for him.

The concert also featured Sheryl Crow, Eddie Vedder and Donovan.

    The concert was fantastic (and was recorded for PBS) as this cast of legendary musicians flowed through set after set of inspiring rock and roll with many artists making guest appearances on songs for others. During the many stage set ups David Lynch, Laura Dern, Howard Stern and Jerry Seinfeld added comments and comedy on the positive influence Transcendental Meditation has had in their lives. Background film clips of youngsters in schools around the world who practice TM gave us hope for a new era of peace and happiness. A charming and delightful evening that transcended all my expectations! http://www.tm.org

    Great cause! My kids started practicing Transcendental Meditation years ago, and it's helped them grow into mentally clear, emotionally grounded people. It works. See http://www.tm.org

    Thanks for this great article on the Paul McCartney concert. The concert was beyond expectation – simply wonderful. And in support of the great cause to bring Transcendental Meditation to “at-risk” children schools. I have been doing TM for many years and know first-hand of its great effect in reducing stress. Well done David Lynch, and thanks to all involved.
