This double C.D. contains 36 classic McCartney and Beatle songs live. It also comes with a 32 page glossy colour booklet, which contains "Tour Memories" for each member of the band and some great shots from the tour.

The music is also superb (as you'd expect) ... BUT ... where are the introductions and bits of chat between the songs ???
At the concerts Paul tells little stories, jokes around, and explains some songs with great introductions. Having heard the complete show with these pieces, I find it hard to believe that they have been edited out !
Paul poignantly introduces both "Here Today" and "Something", he jokes about trips to a massage parlour and throughout the concerts you can feel his marvellous rapport with the audience.
Check out the brilliant bootleg Driving Me Mad and compare the lengths of the tracks. The difference is the missing chat.

Anyway, a great live music C.D. even without the reservations above.

"The crowd left amazed. No maybe about it."
