Nous vous livrons ci-après le communiqué de presse délivré hier par le porte-parole de Paul, relatif à la publication du DVD et du double-CD couvrant la tournée de Paul au travers les Etats-Unis.
For the first time in his solo career, Paul McCartney is to release a DVD that candidly reveals the intimate backstage life on the road, alongside a 2-CD live set of his most triumphant tour since The Beatles.
The three-hour « rock `n road movie » will take fans right inside Paul McCartney’s acclaimed current tour, giving access to all areas previously kept private from the public — going inside the dressing rooms, seeing scenes from the back seat of his personal limo and even aboard his chartered jet.
The « Back In The U.S. » DVD will also include performances of Paul and his new band at sound check that have never been shown before — plus footage of more than 30 classic songs filmed at shows all across America and presented in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound.
« This feels like a very special tour and because of that we wanted to film not only the great shows we’ve been enjoying but also reveal to people what we’re doing when we’re not doing the show. There are a lot of private moments on the DVD — it’ll be like a backstage pass to the intimate zones where most people never get, » said Paul, who has just started « Back In The U.S., » the second leg of his 50-date American tour.
The « Back In The U.S. » DVD will be released by Capitol Records on November 26th — together with a « Back In The U.S. » double CD that features a 36-song set list of new live recordings from the all-hits show that has rocked America.
The 36 songs on the new 2-CD live album will be: « All My Loving, » « Band On The Run, » « Back In The U.S.S.R., » « Blackbird, » « Coming Up, » « Can’t Buy Me Love, » « Carry That Weight, » « C Moon, » « Driving Rain, » « Every Night, » « Eleanor Rigby, » « The End, » « Freedom, » « Fool On The Hill, » « Getting Better, » « Hello Goodbye, » « Here Today, » « Here There And Everywhere, » « Hey Jude, » « I Saw Her Standing There, » « Jet, » « Lonely Road, » « Let Me Roll It, » « Live And Let Die, » « Let It Be, » « Lady Madonna, » « The Long And Winding Road, » « Mother Nature’s Son, » « Maybe I’m Amazed, » « My Love, » « Something, » « Sergeant Pepper, » « Vanilla Sky, » « We Can Work It Out, » « Your Loving Flame » and « Yesterday. »
« We recorded the album at various shows on the first leg of the U.S. tour in the spring and I’m excited by the sound that we’ve got with this new band of mine, » said Paul McCartney. « I wanted the album to capture the spirit of some magical nights on the road as a lifelong reminder for the great crowds who shared them with us. »
Alongside Paul in the Back In The U.S. band are Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray on guitars, Abe Laboriel, Jr. on drums and Paul « Wix » Wickens on keyboards.
