The show, which also featured Paul's wife Linda, as well as a full band, showcased music from throughout McCartney's career, with a carefully selected set list comprised of just the hits. Richard Lester, who made the early Beatles' films Help! and A Hard Day's Night, came out of retirement to document the tour, in this energized concert film made up of highlights from sold-out concerts across the globe. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Good concert overallOct 18, 2005
By Danno
You can't go wrong with any of Paul McCartney's live recordings. Despite what anyone says about Sir Paul's post-Beatles music, when it comes to live performance, the man always gives 100 percent. He's as hard-working a showman as anyone in rock and always holds his own against virtually every live band. The guy cares about what he does, has a great voice, is a solid innovative bassist and one heck of a pianist. I am certain that almost everyone who attended the 1989 live shows filmed for this DVD ranks it as a night they will never forget.
I wish this DVD were longer, because it focuses almost exclusively on Paul's Beatles hits. I know that many people love hearing McCartney sing the Beatles Greatest Hits, but I'd like to hear more of his solo and Wings material. (In concert at the time, McCartney did include a lot of post-1970 material, but little of it is here save for the beautiful 'Put it There,' 'Live and Let Die,' and 'Coming Up.')
My major problem with the DVD comes from Richard Lester's decision to intercut newsfootage throughout many of the songs. 'The Long and Winding Road' is all but ruined by Vietnam imagery, for example, and by the time I reached the end of the DVD I was uncomfortably reminded of the movie version of 'Beatlemania' which used similar tricks. McCartney is the real deal and doesn't need such trickery. And, yes, that's the same Richard Lester who used to direct great popcorn flicks like 'Superman II' and 'The Three Musketeers' not to mention the Beatles own 'Hard Day's Night.' I've no idea why McCartney allowed Lester to ruin sections of this film with his heavy-handed social commentary.
I'm still giving this 4 stars if only because we get the joy of Paul McCartney rediscovering himself in front of a worldwide audience.

 Maybe I'm AmazedSep 30, 2002
By Julie A.K. Ross
No, not maybe. I am amazed! This collection of 20 songs from his '89-90 world tour is the ultimate! He rocks, plain and simple, from the ever-great "Band On The Run" to the rockous early day remembrance "I Saw Her Standing There." The new material has some of my favorites from Paul like "Put It There" and "Rough Ride." It also includes awesome b/w & some color footage of the 60s and the Beatles! I've said too much already, but this is the best available McCartney video.

This is music...Jul 26, 2005
By Martin Perez
I bought the VHS version a couple of years ago, now that I got the DVD version I think it is better in video and sound quality than the tape, but either way, it is an excellent concert video that shows how the good music is. Of course there are songs mising (Silly love songs, let'hem in and so on) but the included ones are enough to get you rocking and singing. I like specially the way "Can't buy me love" ends and "Coming Up" (complete lenght version) starts with a terrific drumer intro, This DVD is by far worth the price. Enjoy!

Holy Crap!Sep 17, 2006
By hi13ts
Wow, I have never seen such an energetic concert before. Everyone's having fun out there, and all his band mates are perfect in what they do. It's a shame he didn't reunite with them. They only problem is that they put footage of different arenas in one song. Like in Get Back, you first see Linda with this casual collared red shirt, and then it changes to this light blue jacket. Same goes with the drummer and Hamish. But the performance out-weighs that fault. This concert is like a dream Paul McCartney concert. I mean, Back in the US and Red Square was good, but the musicians weren't as talented as his old band. And back then Paul was younger, thus he had a lot more energy. I recommend this to any Beatles, Paul McCartney, or classic rock fan. This is a great concert film, maybe the best.
