What a way to get Beatles fans to plunk down money to get four
otherwise-unavailable live tracks...
PAUL McCARTNEY BACK ON TOUR
FIRST UK-EURO CONCERTS IN 10 YEARS
+ NEW LIVE ALBUM + NEW TOUR DVD - MARCH 17TH
PAUL McCARTNEY is to play his first UK and European concerts in 10 years
when his highly-demanded 'Back In The World' tour kicks off in Paris on
March 25th.
The launch of the three-month trek will coincide with the release on March
17th of two special souvenirs of the tour - a 37-song live album, titled
Back In The World, and Back In The U.S. - a 3-hour DVD filmed inside the
world tour during its run across America.
The European tour, which will play include gigs in Paris, Barcelona, Arnhem,
Koln, Hannover, Vienna, Munich, Hamburg, Dublin, Sheffield, Manchester,
Birmingham and London, will be Paul first in since his New World Tour of
1993.
Fronting a lean new band, Paul will perform his acclaimed and
hugely-successful new show that last year broke 20 box office records during
its 50-date tour of America. The tour won Billboard magazine's Tour of The
Year accolade as the most triumphant concert trek of 2002.
Paul McCartney's two and a half hour, 36-song show caused crowd mania last
year in Mexico, Japan and America - where it was dubbed "the greatest hits
show on Earth".
The show includes 22 Beatles songs - the most Beatles songs ever performed
in any one show - plus more than a dozen hits from his Wings and solo
periods.
The Back In The World 2-CD album follows the hit album Back In The U.S.
which was recently released in America as a souvenir of the first U.S. leg
of the world tour. As the set list for the European tour will differ from
the first American shows, the Back In The World tracklist has been changed
so that the European album is a proper souvenir of the European show.
The Back In The World album will feature four songs not released before:
live performances of She's Leaving Home, Calico Skies, Michelle and Let 'Em
In.
These will feature alongside such classics as All My Loving, Back In The
USSR, Band On The Run, Blackbird, Can't Buy Me Love, Carry That Weight,
Coming Up, Eleanor Rigby, Fool On The Hill, Getting Better, Hello Goodbye,
Here There And Everywhere, Hey Jude, I Saw Her Standing There, Jet, Live And
Let Die and many others.
The Back In The U.S. DVD was previously only available in the U.S.A. and
Japan, where it has already been a huge hit with fans as sales in America
alone have been of triple-platinum status. The DVD has been dubbed "a rock
and road movie" as it records not only the onstage concert action but also
takes the viewer right inside the tour; filming Paul, the band and road crew
backstage and offstage, inside dressing rooms, in the limos with Paul and
even aboard his chartered jet for after-show mile-high party antics.
The 'Back In The World' concert show will include performance of Beatles
songs never before played live in Europe.
Said Paul: "I had a lot of fun touring this show across America last year
and instead of been exhausted I felt exhilarated because I am enjoying it so
much. I'm looking forward to playing through Europe and bringing the show
back home to Britain.
"I think the crowd is going to like this gig - when I was thinking of what
songs to play I just imagined myself as one of the audience and thought
'What would I like to hear him play?'
"So that means we'll be playing some of my Beatles stuff - rather a lot of
Beatles stuff, actually - some Wings stuff and some more recent stuff; so
basically the show pretty much spans my whole career. And I'm really getting
off on playing it all with my new band, their energy and musicianship is
phenomenal".
