Paul McCartney performs in Atlanta, Georgia on October 14, 2014.
Paul McCartney can now be viewed in virtual reality, thanks to a new application of excursion, which will allow fans to see the musician performing "live and let die" from every conceivable angle. The footage was filmed during the last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, which McCartney played in August, nearly 48 years to the day since the Beatles played their final live concert at the same venue.
The performance was filmed using Excursion 360 degree stereoscopic 3-D cameras and 3-D microphone sound field, allowing viewers to watch the show from the perspective of someone in the audience, on stage, between racks or right by McCartney.
The clip, however, is only available on Google Play for users with Android phones and Google cardboard, DIY project virtual reality technology giant, which allows anyone to make a VR headset basic household items . Excursion is working on making the footage available for Samsung VR gear and Oculus Rift too.

The singer released a deluxe edition of the album, which contains two CDs and a DVD full of extras, earlier this year.
