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 comprisesa 33-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 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; plus a Bonus
DVD containing footage of Paul's traffic-stopping,
headline-making July 15th performance on the Ed Sullivan Theater
marquee, and an audience documentary. Issued in a sealed hard-back
