Paul McCartney's Get Back World Tour (2005)

Great Tour, poor DVD

This Macca tour was huge and great, but this DVD edition lacks of quality. Image is really granny as if they just copied from an old VHS tape. The sound is not 5.1
The addins made by Richard Lester could have been put as a special feature, but not in the middle of songs!
Said that, it is fair to say that the performance of Paul and the band is flawless. September 20, 2008

Love That Paul

This is a great piece of work. Very enjoyable to watch/listen to. If you are a McCartney fan you must add this to your collection. December 26, 2007

El regreso de Paul a los escenarios

McCartney regreso a las giras y conciertos en el año de 1989 despues de 13 años de ausencia. En aquel lapso de tiempo, pasaron importantes acontecimientos en la vida del segundo beatle. Habia estado 7 dias en la carcel en Japon por encontrarsele marihuana en la maleta, llevandose el susto de su vida de casi pasar años en prision. Brujerias de madam Yoko decian por ahi. Su compinche John moria asesinado por el FBI y con el la esperanza de una reunion de los Beatles. Los Wings, al fin se disolvian. Un Paul mas maduro y con un disco en promocion, Flowers In The Dirt, se lanzaba a esta magica y misteriosa aventura. Paul realizo una estupenda gira mundial, su voz era aun fresca y no sonaba cansada como en sus ultimos conciertos del 2002 y 2006. Es obvio, esta mucho mas joven. Y es ahi en donde este DVD gana importancia. Es una mirada al Paul que hace cantar multitudes, aquel que demuestra su carisma y no le importa salir a escena al lado de su mujer, la recordada Linda. Paul registro en esta gira una de sus presentaciones mas celebradas, la de Rio de Janeiro, por alcanzar el record Guiness, con 184,368 personas.

22 temas en vivo presenta este DVD, lanzado en aquel tiempo como un Disco Laser. Ahora en formato DVD, este film es dirigido por Richard Lester, el mismo que dirigio las 2 primeras peliculas de los Fab Four. El error de Lester es mostrarnos un collage de imagenes de Paul en la epoca de los Beatles y Wings, mezcladas con las reacciones del publico. A quien le interesa el publico? Si lloran, rien, cantan, entran en ataque de histeria. Lo que importa es el performance de Paul y su banda. Pese a ese pequeño detalle, el disco suena y luce bien.

Spectacular!

Wow!!!! I looooove this DVD (originally released in laser disc), amazing world tour. I think one of the best features in this dvd is the historical footage and videos. The setlist is absolutely great! February 3, 2007

Holy Crap!

Wow, I have never seen such an energetic concert before. Everyone's having fun out there, and all his band mates are perfect in what they do. It's a shame he didn't reunite with them. They only problem is that they put footage of different arenas in one song. Like in Get Back, you first see Linda with this casual collared red shirt, and then it changes to this light blue jacket. Same goes with the drummer and Hamish. But the performance out-weighs that fault. This concert is like a dream Paul McCartney concert. I mean, Back in the US and Red Square was good, but the musicians weren't as talented as his old band. And back then Paul was younger, thus he had a lot more energy. I recommend this to any Beatles, Paul McCartney, or classic rock fan. This is a great concert film, maybe the best. September 17, 2006
