I was there at this historic concert and recorded some video clips (pretty poor quality though) with my mobile phone.
Paul McCartney Sings to Space Station Crew
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - It was "Good Day Sunshine" for the international space station crew Sunday morning. NASA astronaut Bill McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev were treated to a live wake-up call of the Beatles classic in a first-ever concert linkup to the space station.
On Earth, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney performed the hit and another song, "English Tea," on Saturday night before a cheering crowd as part of his 11-week US tour.
The performance was beamed from the West Coast to the space station crew 220 miles above Earth and broadcast on NASA television, which showed live feeds from space.
McArthur and Tokarev bobbed up and down and sipped from squeeze pouches through the show, getting a rousing cheer from the audience.
"I can't believe that we're actually transmitting to space!" McCartney said. "This is sensational. I love it."
McArthur, who did a couple flips, noted McCartney's creative achievements and thanked him for playing the songs.
"That was simply magnificent," ;
McArthur said. "We consider you an explorer just as we are."
It is a tradition to wake astronauts up with recorded songs, but this marked the first time astronauts listened to live music from space.
The rock icon came up with the idea after learning that NASA's Mission Control used "Good Day Sunshine" to wake up the Space Shuttle Discovery astronauts in August with word that conditions were favourable to return to Earth.
The wake-up call marked the space station crew's 44th day of a planned six month mission in space.

| | The Beatles - Across The Universe (Anthology version) - 209 sec
Slideshow set to music.
This unreleased February 1968 alternative take of the song (recorded before the master), sans heavy production, appeared on Anthology 2 in 1996. This is often referred to as the "psychedelic" recording, due to the strong Indian sound, and illustrates the band's original uncertainty over the best treatment for the song.
PS - Many of the viewers are curious to know what "Jai Guru Deva, Om" means. So here goes :
"Jai Guru Deva" translates as (roughly) "Victory to God divine" or "Hail to the divine Guru" - here John might be referring to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi or to spiritual masters in general.
"Om" is an 'add-on' word here :
It is used as the most sacred word in Indian thought and often used by monks during meditation.
It represents the birth growth and death of the Cosmos. It is also the Vibration / sound of the Cosmos literally.If you could step outside the Universe and listen to it that is what you would hear. The Yogis hear this in deep meditation.
