AIN’T NO STOPPING US NOW…WE’RE ‘BACK IN THE U.S.’ ..(AMONGST OTHER PLACES) 06/09/2002 HAVING THROUGHLY ENJOYED THE 27 SHOWS IN AMERICA ON THE FIRST LEG OF THE TOUR IN APRIL-MAY, PAUL IS NOW TO ROUND UP THE USA TOTAL TO A NEAT 50 WITH A BATCH OF NEW SHOWS. THE ‘BACK IN THE U.S.’ LEG OF 23 MORE CONCERTS WILL START ON SEPTEMBER 21ST AND END ON OCTOBER 29TH.
AFTER THAT WE’RE OFF FOR A FEW NIGHTS IN MEXICO CITY (ALL TOUR DATES BELOW) BEFORE ZIPPING OVER TO JAPAN TO PLAY TOKYO AND, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PAUL’S CAREER, OSAKA. AND THEN…..WHO KNOWS?
BY THE WAY…..A WORD TO EACH OF YOU 406,521 FANS WHO SAW SHOWS OF THE ‘DRIVING USA’ TOUR – WATCH OUT, YOU COULD VERY WELL FIND YOURSELF ON SCREEN WITH MACCA LATER THIS YEAR. PAUL WILL BE ISSUING A CD OF THE TOUR SHOW IN LATE NOVEMBER – PLUS A DVD OF THE TOUR IN STORES AROUND THE SAME TIME. WORD FROM INSIDE THE EDIT STUDIO IS THAT THE DVD WILL BE UTTERLY UNLIKE PREVIOUS FILMS OF MAC IN CONCERT (I.E. ‘GET BACK’ AND ‘PAUL IS LIVE’) IN THAT A GOOD WHACK OF THE THREE HOURS OF IT WILL CONTAIN BACKSTAGE AND OFF-DUTY FOOTAGE THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU NEVER GET TO SEE. BESIDES TAKING YOU ON AN ACCESS ALL AREAS TOUR OF SOUND CHECK, DRESSING ROOMS, ON THE CREW BUS, AT THE AFTER-SHOW PARTIES, IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS LIMO AND EVEN ABOARD HIS PRIVATE TOUR JET (AND A LOT MORE), THE DVD CONTAINS A LOT OF CROWD SCENES FROM THE GIGS. SO WATCH OUT FOR YOURSELF, WE’VE CAUGHT YOU CANDIDLY ON CAMERA ROCKING YOUR SOX OFF. AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, APPEARING TO ROCK OTHER ITEMS OF CLOTHING OFF BESIDES. OO-ERR, MISSUS…..
MORE GOSS – WE’RE TOLD THERE COULD BE CHANGES TO THE SET FOR THE NEXT LEG; THE BAND HAS BEEN LEARNING UP A BUNCH OF OTHER SONGS AND A DECISION ON THEIR INCLUSION WILL BE TAKEN WHEN REHEARSALS START AT ANY DAY NOW.
KEEPS US OFF THE STREETS………
