PAUL MCCARTNEY Good Evening New York City (2009 US promotional
3-disc [2CD/1DVD] set - As the inaugural musical event at Citi Field,
the site of the former Shea Stadium, these July 2009 shows held
special significance not only for McCartney but for generations of his
fans. The shows were performed on the same hallowed ground that
The Beatles, in 1965, played the 34-minute show that would set the
precedent for the modern day stadium rock show. This 3-disc set
comprises a 33-track 2-CDset with audio, in both stereo and 5.1; and
a DVD featuring footage directed by Paul Becher. Highlights of the gigs
include faithful takes on Beatles classics 'Drive My Car', 'Got To Get
You Into My Life', 'The Long And Winding Road', 'Blackbird', 'Eleanor
Rigby', 'Back In The USSR', 'Paperback Writer', 'Let It Be', 'Hey Jude',
'Helter Skelter' and more, plus 'Something' rendered on ukulele gifted
to Paul by George Harrison, and a tribute to John Lennon in the form
of a medley of 'A Day In The Life' & 'Give Peace A Chance'. Wings-era
chestnuts include 'Band On The Run', 'My Love', 'Let Me Roll It' and the
pyrotechnic tour-de-force of 'Live And Let Die', while timeless
McCartney solo material ranges from 'Here Today' to the upbeat
'Flaming Pie' and 'Dance Tonight' to a pair of numbers from Electric
Arguments, the 2008 album released under the alias of The Fireman.
