Thanx to the original poster

Paul returns to Studio 2 at Abbey Road, the room where all the Beatles records were made, for an intimate journey through his songwriting history, from his very first Beatles song to the work on his new album "Chaos & Creation In The Backyard".

Aided and abetted by producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Travis) & using a selection of vintage instruments from his own collection (including the bass played by Bill Black on Elvis Presley's orginal recording of Heartbreak Hotel and the Mellotron & mixing desk used by the Beatles) Paul re-visits his back catalogue in new & revealing ways in front of an audience of just 64 people, including wife Heather, Fran Healy from Travis and Guy Chambers among others.

He'll be re-interpreting old songs, revealing new ones, playing some great cover versions & enlisting the audience's help in a demonstration of "in the moment" songwriting & arranging.


Music included in the programme:

-Paul on Acoustic guitar playing "Friends To Go" and "How Kind Of You".
-This is followed by the recording of an alternate version of "Band On The Run".
-On Acoustic again, Paul performing the pre-Beatles song "In Spite Of All Danger"
-Paul singing a couple of verses of "Twenty Flight Rock".
-Paul on Piano playing a Gospel-type rendition of "Lady Madonna".
-Also on Piano a song about English Tea.
-A couple of bars of "Heartbreak hotel" played on an Upright bass.
-Paul demonstrating the Mellotron and making up a song with it.
-The opening bars of "Strawberry Fields Forever" played on the Mellotron.
-Paul playing a new song called "Jenny Wren" on Acoustic guitar.
-Next the Beatles songs "I've Got A Feeling" and "Blackbird".
-Paul jamming and recording an improvised song with the Audience playing percussion.

I enjoyed this show so much when I first watched it. It's so damn good. I mean, you can see Paul jamming, having a good time, recording a multi-tracked piece and interacting with the audience. Even his costume, the scenario and the lighting are terrific.

The only thing I didn't like was his version of 'How Kind of You'. I think he losted it during those 3 minutes.  

And of course, in one sense, he always repeats himself. Why when he's teaching what a mellotrion is he always plays the intro for Strawberry Fields? Why he always sings Heartbreak Hotel (performing it always exactly) when he's showing Elvis Presley's bass?

In the other hand, that almost-a-capella version of 'Band on the Run' and his performing of 'In Spite of All the Danger' are some of the best from the show.



P.D. This show is featured on the THE MCCARTNEY YEARS set right? Because I think I'm gonna buy it today.

Because it is one of the most distinctive and famous mellotron peices in ant pop song, and one of the first times it was used. Would you have him play something by The Moody Blues instead?

Quoted from wingsman

Why he always sings Heartbreak Hotel (performing it always exactly) when he's showing Elvis Presley's bass?

Because it's an Elvis song, and has a very distinctive bass line. No point in taking a risk with something that someone in the audience might not know.

yes, i don't think he would sing 'The Wonder of You'

I know all of that, guys.   I guess it's the fact that in the last 2 months I saw him singing Heartbreak Hotel with the Elvis bass like fourteen times.  

But most people have only seen him do it once. If you're a fanatic, repetitiveness is something you have to put up with.

You have probably bought it by now, but no, the show is not on the McCartney Years. It's more of a behind-the-scenes of C&C at Abbey Road. I still really enjoyed it though.
