Rating: Summary: Sir Paul at his very best! Review: I am totally amazed that 16 reviews are in before this Dvd has even been released to the public? Hardcore Paul fans are giving reviews based on seeing him live during his most recent tour. Give me a break already! I look forward to reading reviews from fans who have actually seen the Dvd. Update:11/27/2002, Now that I have viewed this Dvd for the first time, I must say this just might possibly be the best Rock/concert film released this year. The concert footage sends chills down ones spine as Paul and his band play flawless interpretations of both his Beatle and solo material. The interaction and response of the audience makes you feel as if you were there. One can also sense an emotional and loving respect that the audience has for this legend and in someways felt his grief when he sang "Something" in honor of George Harrison while playing a ukulele that George gave him as a gift. His hit "My Love" was obviously sang with Linda in mind. Paul has assembled a band that is without question one of his best ever. Drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. is a standout here and is something to see. I would also recommend the companion cd as well. If you are a Beatle fan or McCartney fan or just like great music, I would advise you to pick up this Paul McCartney concert Dvd and enjoy an evening of fun and music from the man who wrote the soundtrack to many of our lives.
Rating: Summary: God is alive and real and his name is Paul Review: I have not purchased this DVD yet but I know it will be amazing. I am 16 years old, I have been a beatle maniac my entire life, and I was at that concert in the main seating section and let me just say it was the greatest night of my entire life. He played so many great songs, it was just fantastic. I urge anyone who is a fan to get this immediatly.
Rating: Summary: Never Mind The Bollocks..Here's MACCA Review: Well, I got my copy a week early and all I can tell you is that it is the best shot and produced Macca DVD/video to date. The band is strong and does what they need to do. Those who saw the concerts left with a bit of the magic from those shows, and I think they will all be thrilled with the DVD. The song choices are the best that have been released on video yet. You get some of the very best Beatles stuff (we can argue forever on what was left out here) along with the best Wings and solo works. In the end, you only have so much time, but you get a great overview of an amazing career. Paul's voice and playing have never sounded better.It was way cool to see the sound check stuff with a very relaxed Paul on his Les Paul playing the old Bo Diddley classic, "Bring It To Jerome." There is a touching tribute to John (Here Today) and George (Something solo on ukele). George was an accomplished ukele player and Paul's tribute is fresh and does not wallow in despair over the very heavy losses through the years. All I can really say is that this DVD beats all the other McCartney concert DVD's of the past.
Rating: Summary: Paul Rocks! Review: I went to see the concert in portland at the rosegarden and I was wigging. It was awesome, I was yelling and screaming!!! I got moved from behind the stage and away from my nosebleed seats in the upper balcony--- to the floor and I was about 30 meters from Paul! I flipped out because he pointed and waved at me!!! He dedicated a song to John and a Song to George and the whole place was balling their eyes out and I cried with them!!! This is something you should be groping to get your hands on!!! I'm still talking about it, I was almost crying when I had to leave!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Best day of my life! Review: Seeing Paul had to be the coolest day of my life - like the Beatles concert I never got to see. He stunned and amazed his Cleveland audience by opening up the show with "Hello Goodbye," which immediately brought the house down. He played a great mix of mostly old Beatles and Wings, with some newer stuff off the Driving Rain CD. The images projected on the screen behind him added so much to the concert - cool footage of "Fool On the Hill," "Lady Madonna," and others. The audience pretty much went wild with the old footage of the Fabs during "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Saw Her Standing There," etc. He even played "Getting Better," which he said was written as album filler and had never been performed in concert before. The special effects in "Live and Let Die" were awesome. Pretty much non-stop for nearly 3 hours - he rocked! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Rating: Summary: The biggest thrill of my life Review: May 10, 8:00 PM, Dallas, TX., 3rd row, ground floor, center stage. Walking into the arena and seeing how close I was going to be to my ultimate Beatle idol for 3 plus hours was a feeling I'll never be able to describe. When the huge Hoffner silohette appeared and then Macca himself....all I could feel was a big "Oh my God!" I was excited and awed beyond belief. During "Can't Buy Me Love" I raised a red with white lettered muffler with the words "LIVERPOOL" high up. He glanced over and winked at me. Then, as if that wasn't enough, right as he goes into the big yell before the instrumental part, he leaned back on his left leg and looked me right in the eye as he screamed. Yes, you could say that pretty much did me in. He could have just stood there and smiled for all I cared. Waiting from the time I was 11 years old to see him and to actually be about 15 feet from him was an experience I will never forget. He was as gracious and nice as he was musically wonderful. His voice was impeccable. At 60 (59 then), he can still rock. And all you Beatle female fanatics out there that were not lucky enough to see him up close and personal, yes, he is still hot.
Rating: Summary: Maybe I'm Amazed.... Review: Friday October 4 was the best night of my life. That was when I had the pleasure of seeing sir paul live in concert. For nearly 3 hours, I was on a mental high and it felt like he knew each and every one of us in the audience. It was a spectacular show and I hope he tours again next year! Hopefully this DVD (which I preordered by the way) will help recreate that magical night.
Rating: Summary: A Dream Come True... Review: I saw Paul twice in the last 8 months. The first time at his Driving Rain concert, was magic! When he announced the second leg of his tour, I flew out to Cleveland and missed school for the concert. This concert is absolutey AMAZING!!! Although I can't be exactly sure what the DVD is like, because I don't know what city its in, and I don't know how they edited it. If its anything like the concert I went to, its 2.5 non stop hours of 36 great Beatles, Wings, and McCartney songs. If you can't be there live, and assuming this may be his last tour, you won't want to pass this one up!
Rating: Summary: Try to see it my way Review: After seeing Paul McCartney's Tours for Flowers in the Dirt and Off the Ground, I'll say his voice for this tour was the best I've ever heard. Listen to "Get Back" & "Paul is Live" then listen to this. The songs, stage show,overall effects, the band and his voice haven't been this good since the Wings "RockShow" video. Every minute was full of an energy and enthusiasm I thought was lost long ago. If you have a home theater system set it for stadium or arena and crank it!!!
