Paul McCartney - Paul Is Live In Concert DVD

Sir Paul's live performances are actually improving as he gets older, which makes Paul is Live--a document from his tours of the early 1990s--arguably better than his 70s dates, but not up to the level of his triumphant new millennium concerts. However, this is a Beatle we're talking about, and how bad can it be to hear immortals such as "Drive My Car", "We Can Work it Out" and "Here, There and Everywhere" sung by one of their creators? The problem is the newer stuff. Credit to McCartney and band (including then-wife Linda, guitarist Robbie MacIntosh, and guitarist-singer... Hamish Stuart from the Average White Band) for refusing to merely wallow in nostalgia. But tunes such as "Biker Like an Icon" and "Peace in the Neighbourhood" are no great shakes any time; placed side by side with "Hey Jude" and "Yesterday", they fare even less well. --Sam Graham [show more]
