Customer Reviews of Paul McCartney - Paul Is Live in Concert
Bad video of a great performance I saw the concert in Charlotte on TV some 10 years ago, and recorded it on VCR. The concert was (I believe) a part of 1993 tour. The performance was absolutely great, and there was not much operator's work - we just saw Paul on stage singing and joking with the audience.
When buyiing this cassette I wanted to get better quality version of that concert, or something similar.
The video proved to be a big disappointment. They show song after song without any chat between. They show videoclip-style kaleidoscope of recordings made at different concert stages during the show. The length of fragments is so short (I think 2 to 3 sec) that you can't even see Paul or his musicians well. So during one song Paul "changes" his clothes 20 times. Weird!
They apparently tried to make the video look like it was produced in 60's or early 70's, so most of the time you see Paul either in poor quality black and white on artificially worn and scratched film, or on the background of bright spotlights. They also show a lot of audience, much more than needed to my personal taste. Worse, you can't tell if this audience was shot on Pauls show or somewhere else because you never see the public and the stage in one shot - they are completely isolated.
Overall, the atmosphere is completely gone.
On the other hand, the songs selection is good, and, as I mentioned, the performance is great. If I were to write a review to the "Paul is live" CD, that I also own, I would give it 5 stars, but for this video - only 3.
the BEST McCartney so far...
This is the best McCartney DVD available at the moment...
McCartney seems to love producing concert videos with long shots of crying fans instead of film of him and his band and of the three most recent issues: Get Back, Back in the US and this one Paul is Live...his director does the best job of focusing on the band. The band is also his best since the break up of Wings and the song selection is excellent with a great acoustic set. The shifting of black and white and colour for variety is also done well...and the set list is solid. Unlike his latest concert film which requires the viewer to sit through boring backstage/backstory segments between songs everytime you watch it ....this is concert action and the performances are uniformly excellent...and at a great price....enjoy!
Don't just watch it once.
This DVD, the first time you put it in the player, will stink of bad production and really weird editing. Plus, if you know too much about this particular tour you will drive yourself nuts noticing songs out of order. But that said, it gets better after you've watched it a few times.
The live versions of Beatle hits are great - this tour featured Drive My Car's only live outing to date. It's also nice to see Magical Mystery Tour and Lady Madonna - Macca's 88-93 band gave these songs a great rendition.
The bad news starts when you get past those songs, though. Let Me Roll It is very boring with this band. The organ is way too low in the mix on the organ solo...that doesn't help. Plus nothing will ever compare to the blistering version found on Back in the U.S. / World .
The tracks from Off the Ground aren't all that bad, there are five of them on the DVD, and 3 of them are good (Lookin for Changes, Hope of Deliverance, and C'mon People). Peace in the Neighborhood and Biker Like an Icon are songs that have grown on *me*, but I don't guarantee it will do the same for you.
Oh, and as a...um..."bonus", we get additional versions of Let it Be, Yesterday, and Hey Jude. Let it Be would be good except that the director chose to include the only time Robbie gave a bad LiB guitar solo. Bleech. Yesterday is it's usual self, good, but I've heard it so many times by this point. And Hey Jude is my pic for worst track on the disc...there's just no energy.
An alright DVD, I still watch it occaisionally, but when it's bad, it's really bad.
