Summary: Paul Delivers, Finally....
Review: It seems that over the years Paul has disappointed as much as he has delivered. His albums were usually peppered with at least one or two hits to get you to buy it, but often the rest of the album was loaded with filler. Paul the business man making money by speading the good songs over many albums ($$$$$$). And yes, "Band on the Run" was a great exception, but there were those dry periods of the "not so great" releases. You never really were sure if you should buy the latest release. Was Paul on the level this time? Finally? In any case, I digress. The point here is that for this DVD Paul puts on a really enjoyable show. David Gilmore of Pink Floyd playing rockabily?! Hey! It works! It really does and I can't remember when I enjoyed an entire music video (DVD) as much as I did this one. Just buy it and sit back and enjoy. All of the songs are great! Every one of them! And yes, I am old enough to remember the original Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. So trust me, I know what I am talking about! Buy it, Paul delivers! Finally....

Summary: Ringo star sings better than macca!
Review: Just a joke paul...
bought this dvd hoping for something with a bit more sparkle...
Paul Mcartney is one of the best vocalists around...
maybe its because this dvd is more rock n roll orientated...
thats why i dont feel fantastic inside over this dvd, but if you are from the Bill Hayley era of time then this ones a hit for you...
The bonus features swayed me into finding this dvd acceptable... maybe a few more hours playing this disc might convert me a little more...

so macca you read this its RINGO 1 MACCA 0
NEARLY AS BAD AS EVERTON 4 LIVERPOOL 0...

Summary: Paul Got Old "Yes son, but he still rocks"
Review: My six year old son's first remark upon viewing the opening seconds of 'Live at The Cavern Club' was, "Paul got old." But soon enough we were boppin' around trading air-guitar licks as a very "young-again" McCartney and band stormed thru the 'Run Devil Run' 50's roots album set. I'm a Paul fan (no apologies) - so any review would be a bit tainted - but this is one great DVD. While not the original Cavern (long ago "...buried under a heap of rubble"), the intimate setting helps to showcase Sir Macca's love of pure Rock 'n Roll. Always a great live performer, Paul puts on a fantastic show in the DVD format. My favs - 'All Shook Up', 'What It Is' and 'No Other Baby.' Check out the Lennonesque, "youuu" at the end of 'Baby.' Yes son, Paul got old as has dad. But as James soon found out - Paul still ROCKS!!

Summary: It's Great, but...
Review: Paul IS a bit flat in his singing, and I don't know why. He's not hoarse, and his voice is strong throughout. The only thing I can think is that the monitors weren't allowing him to hear himself over the guitars, or that the small nature of the venue created overtones that made on-pitch singing difficult. At any rate, it's a minor complaint. An even slightly off pitch Paul is better than 90 percent of vocalists in the world. The playing is remarkably refreshing. The drummer, Ian (can't remember his last name) shines thoughout, and Dave Gilmour plays a pretty mean rockabilly guitar.

Summary: Paul delivers the goods - but so do David and Mick
Review: Paul is a natural at rockabilly, totally evidenced by his singing and choice of tunes on this DVD (kudos also to his bass playing - he's one of the best and usually underrated). For Telecaster fans, David Gilmour and Mick Green do yeoman service, with David taking most of the lead solos and riffs. Bottom line - this DVD is a must-have for rockabilly and Tele fans.

Summary: his voice & absent Linda
Review: Paul's minor voice here is a consequence of recent Linda's death. Used to be happens with human beings. Take it easy, this is not the end of the road. Look at Ringo! 64 and fine.

Summary: Paul still rocks!
Review: Some of the others reviewing this DVD say that they didn't like it, Ringo's better, or some such, but I think this is because they are used to Paul in the post-Beatles mode almost exclusively. Those of us who are true Beatle fans (and possibly old enough to remember their early days) will consider this DVD most impressive for the raw quality Paul and the boys bring to the fore. It's a man returning to his roots in grand style. Bless you and yours, Sir Paul!

Summary: Paul is Back
Review: The "Run Devil Run" album was Paul's first attempt at recording since Linda passed away in 1998. He came through very well, and managed to rok us into the new millenium with this performance. Yes, he was in his mid-fifties when he recorded it, but don't be so quick to put him down. He rocked at this concert. The band is strong and tight, and Paul can still sing well. A few songs from this DVD are not on the "Run Devil Run" album, such as "Fabulous" and "Twenty Flight Rock." They are very good as well. I love this concert, and so will you if you love Paul.

Summary: A McCartney DVD that's everything it should be...
Review: The concert itself was fantastic - setting viewing records via the Internet, containing a great lineup (besides McCartney, David Gilmour, Mick Green, Ian Paice and Pete Wingfield) - but here, the extras really shine. First, a 22 minute interview where you learn more than you ever could via the usual celebrity interviews, with their same old questions (Yes, we know that "Yesterday" came in a dream...) Next, a 22 minute "making of" documentary much in the same style as his previous "compilation" documentaries, "The World Tonight", "Movin' On" and others. This one's chock full of great studio footage and personal anecdotes, and isn't even listed on the DVD package as one of the extras. Then, there's the two complete videos made to promote "No Other Baby" and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" - an especially welcome addition for the American fans (and I imagine others) who never get to see these things uncut, and in quality, if at all. (One hopes Paul will see fit to include the relevant videos on any future re-issues of his older documentaries, to DVD.) And then there's the concert itself - a wonderful, intimate concert (300 in attendance, in person) - wonderfully recorded, and wonderfully transferred to the DVD. All in all, there's absolutely nothing which would make this better - a complete, interesting coverage of the "Run Devil Run" album and the Cavern Club concert, with great classic rock'n'roll to spare.

Summary: McCartney's BEST Live Video
Review: This concert is definitely worth owning on DVD. Paul performed in December of 1999 at the Cavern Club in Liverpool as a way of celebrating the end of the year/century/millenium. It was also a celebration of his career in rock'n'roll. Hands down, this is the best available live video McCartney has released. It is brimming with energy and he is in excellent voice-- really belting out these old classics. Most of the songs were from his '99 album "Run Devil Run" (also HIGHLY recommended, especially as a companion piece to this). The concert includes 13 songs. Notable musicians accompanying him are Pink Floyd's David Gilmour on guitar, and Deep Purple's Ian Paice on drums. These guys put their all into these performances, you won't find McCartney rocking out with more abandon in any of his other concert releases. Unlike the "Get Back"(1990) and "Paul is Live"(1993) documents of his world tours, this is not a slick polished presentation-- it's raw, old-fashioned rock'n'roll. While the concert itself runs only 46 minutes, a couple worthwhile extra features have been included. Most notable, a 22 minute featurette that documents the making of the "Run Devil Run" album, with Paul explaining how the songs were chosen for the album (this includes some in-the-studio footage from the recording sessions). There is also an entertaining 17 minute interview with Paul giving song-by-song commentary on the songs chosen to be performed in the concert. Also included are music videos for two songs from "Run Devil Run". These videos are actually pretty interesting and worth seeing, definitely different from other McCartney music videos. All together, there is a little over 90 minutes on this DVD if you watch everything-- worth the money in my opinion. Even if you've seen this concert when it was recently broadcast on PBS, you really should pick this up. The picture is crystal clear and the sound is awesome.
