PAUL MCCARTNEY Good Evening New York City (2009 UK Deluxe
Edition 4-disc [2CD / 2 x Region 0 DVD] 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 where The Beatles played the 34-minute show in
1965 that would set the precedent for the modern day stadium rock
show. This 4-disc set comprisesa33-track 2-CD set with
audio, in both stereo and 5.1; a DVD featuring footage
directed by Paul Becher, with highlights of the gigs including faithful
takes on Beatles classics Drive My Ca, 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; plus a Bonus DVD
containing footage of Paul's traffic-stopping, headline-making July 15th
performance on the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee plus an audience
documentary. The four discs are nestled within the hard-back
bookstyle packaging complete with an extensive book!)
