There comes a time when you think "Whats the point" when an artist of the calibre of Paul McCartney,issues another live album.
The mix is all encompassing featuring songs that span the whole of his Beatles/Wings/Fireman canon
You will have heard all of the tracks before,McCarney knows his audience well,although the embarrasing "A day in the life/Give peace a chance" should have been left off as it is pants.
 Sir Paul keeps it up March 27, 2010

Paul McCartney has put together a generous package for the spectators at Citi Fields as well as for the recorded version. The set consists of a 33 song marathon, which is included on the DVD as well as the double CD. The core of the concert is formed by Paul's Beatle numbers, but they are spiced up with songs from the recent albums and from the Wings period in between. The fellow musicians Paul Wickens, Rusty Anderson, Abe Laboriel Jr and Brian Ray know how to reproduce the original hit sounds but also to add a little more rock flavor from time to time. So if you're into the nostalgia and like a few pleasant surprises, this one's for you. And last but not least, the sound is so good it has a studio feeling...has someone overdubbed a few parts in the post-production?

I managed to get to see Paul McCartney at the O2 Arena in London in December during the promotion for this dvd release.
He has toured heavily since 2002 and this is the fourth live dvd from the noughties following on from Back In the US, Live in Red Square & the Space Within Us.
The fact that we get the whole concert without interruptions makes this the best yet, and Paul and his brilliant band are on top form.
The packaging is superb and I'd urge everybody to invest a few extra pounds to buy the deluxe edition with the extra dvd.
Here's to the next tour.
On really good form ... and some new concert material as well. February 11, 2010

Having seen Macca a few times in concert and got a number of live albums / dvds in my collection already I initially asked myself 'what's new here?'. In fact there are quite a few songs that are recent additions to his live show - Sing The Changes, Mrs. Vanderbilt, Day Tripper are examples and really are very well peformed, so worth it from that point alone.
He's having a good time in this concert as well, realaxed and pretty chatty in places (the running bit of fun with the women in the audience screaming a la Shea Stadium Beatles' shows is great fun). The two tributes to his mates, Here Today (John) and Something (George) are beautifully done - particularly Something.
Take a look at the footage of the Beatles' Shea shows and you'll see that he's the one running towards the stage - he loves being up there and doing what he does best. A reviewer of his London show at the end of 2009 said "he'd be worth 20 quid of anyone's money if he simply turned up and played washboard for 45 minutes". At the price the 2 x CD and DVD package from Amazon you'll not need to spend half that amount and you can enjoy a master craftsman at work in a really fine show. Thumbs up indeed.
