I just got it for Christmas, and it's great, I can't stop watching it! And like you guys were saying, that Coming Up video is great and just hilarious!

I've never seen any of the stuff on here before, and I've been waiting forever to get it for xmas. I like the live stuff of course, and the Creating Chaos at Abbey Road thing is pretty entertaining. When he was in the middle of Things We Said Today, he messed up on the words, and just stopped and did it again. Same with Blackbird.  ;D

Agree  " Coming Up " is still a great fun video one of Paul's best , i also like  " Tug Of War " he should have had that as the first single it's so much better than Ebony And Ivory ?

I hadn't seen most of the videos on the DVD, so I was really excited to finally have them all together and in such great quality. A couple of the Macca songs that I had previously dismissed as mediocre I actually got interested in after seeing the videos for them. Like Pretty Little Head.. I never, ever thought I would like this song, but after seeing the video and hearing Paul's commentary, I don't know, something clicked, and now it's on my playlist. And normally I think video's take away from songs.

Highlights for me were the 1976 Wings show and Paul's commentary on the London Town video (hilarious!).

I recieved 'The Mccartney Years' for christmas, which was a surprise and something that was totally new to my ears. Ignoring the big hits - i.e. Jet, Say Say Say, Band on The Run etc (which are great) I found myself really getting into some material that I've never bothered exploring.  A song such as Heart of The Country is fantastic. His voice is spot on, and the whole mood and sound of the song sounds like it could be found on The White Album. MTV Unplugged is also amazing ... And I Love Her blows me away.

Paul looks strange on the Waterfalls video ? , his commentary indicates he was'nt to sure about the make - up , looking at it , i'm not to sure either, he looks a bit like Phil Oakey ? :P

He said that he arranged his hair very differently from the way he always did it.  :)

Anyway, great video! I love Watterfalls! Funny how TLC take the first line of this song for their 1995 #1 hit of the same name!  ;)

The worst of all is you watch the music videos in chronological order, because you notice how the "Flaming Pie" era was almost completely forgotten, and the "Driving Rain" also forgotten in its entirety. "Young Boy", "The World Tonight", "From A Lover To A Friend", "Your Loving Flame", "Driving Rain", "Jenny Wren", "We All Stand Together", "Tropic Island Hum"... where are all those videos??  ::)

I agree, definitely. I didn't listen to Tropic Island Hum yet? It's like a reprise from WAST, right? Oh, this Macca...  :P  ;D
