And reunite they did ... for New York minute.
"The penny finally dropped, and I realized I was in the middle of a Nirvana reunion," said Sir Paul before introducing Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.
Instead of playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or another cover, the fab four played an original song, "Cut Me Some Slack." After that blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, McCartney's band rejoined him for his final tune, "I've Got a Feeling."

Other highlights of the night that made musical history:
