Paul McCartney Gives Charity Concert in Ukraine
By OLGA BONDARUK –

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Tens of thousands of people braved heavy rain and thunder Saturday night to see Paul McCartney perform a charity concert on Kiev's central Independence Square.

The outdoor show, the first in Ukraine for the former Beatle, was billed as the biggest concert ever in the former Soviet republic. It was broadcast live on national television and on giant screens in five cities.

After a half-hour delay because of the weather, McCartney, who turns 66 next week, came out on the stage and greeted the crowd in Ukrainian, before diving into the Beatles hit "Drive My Car."

He followed up with a series of Beatles songs, including "Hey Jude," "Let it Be," "Back in the U.S.S.R.," and "Penny Lane." The show also included a rendition of "A Day in the Life," which McCartney dedicated to John Lennon.

McCartney returned for his encore waving a Ukrainian flag and finished off the two-hour show with fireworks, a rendition of "Yesterday" and a musical finale.

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was in attendance.

Before the concert, fans in five major cities sang Beatles songs in a live TV linkup with the capital.

The square where McCartney played was the site of the Orange Revolution in 2004, when peaceful mass protests overturned a fraudulent election and brought a pro-Western opposition leader to power.

Organizers said the money raised will be spent on diagnostic equipment for Ukraine's National Cancer Institute's children's department. Many children now seek treatment abroad because Ukraine lacks the necessary equipment.

The concert was free but the organizers were asking for donations from Ukrainian businessmen and others.

More than 500 people have contributed a total of about $600,000 and donations were continuing to come in, said Tatyana Overina, spokeswoman for the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, which organized the concert.

Pinchuk, a billionaire businessman and Ukraine's richest man, established the foundation in 2006 to contribute to the modernization of Ukraine and bring forward a new generation of Ukrainian leaders.

Yeah, I wondered if you were there under an umbrella somewhere. It looks like it rained a lot, to judge from this cell phone vid:

Me, too: it's one of my favorite Wings tracks. George Martin's score (if it's not actually Paul's) makes the recorded version work, and it's great, thundering spectacle live.

Oh thanks! I think there are bigger Macca fans here than I that deserve the chance to go first!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I have three versions of the concert

1. AVI file - 320x240 pixels - 1Gb (missed last 6 songs)
2. AVI file - 720x544 pixels - 1,53Gb
3. MPEG-2 - 720x576 pixels - 6,5Gb

The last one has superb video and sound quality. I'm gonna make a DVD out of it

From the each concert version I cut Live and Let Die for example
1. http://rapidshare.com/files/123361666/LiveAndLetDie1.avi
2. http://rapidshare.com/files/123365290/LiveAndLetDie2.avi
3. http://rapidshare.com/files/123372348/LiveAndLetDie3.part1.rar && http://rapidshare.com/files/123373872/LiveAndLetDie3.part2.rar

Check it out )))

If you interested just let me know and I'll put the whole concert either on rapidshare or torrent net.
Hope to do it in coming weekend.
