Paul McCartney - The Space Within US (2006)

The Next best thing to seeing him in person

I have to admit Paul has never been my favorite Beatle. Paul however is the last of the Beatles who wrote music.
I do enjoy many songs Paul has written with the Beatles, with Wings and as a solo performer.
What you have here is history. Paul McCartney and John Lennon are the two greatest composers/writers of the last century.
This is a chance to see one of the Masters displaying why he is so popular and fameous.
Paul opens the show with Hello, Goodbye and it just goes uphill from there.
Another thing that was cool was how he ended a song with Foxy Lady, the old Jimi Hendrix tune.
He does Beatles classics like Got to get you into my life and Penny Lane, among others.
To me the hightlight of the show was when he did Jenny Wren and English Tea for the current album.
He also closes the show with Yesterday and other big hits from the Beatles days.
This is not as good as seeing him in person, but it is the next best thing. May 19, 2008

The space to fill

Paul's peformance during this tour is still strong. The tracklist of the concerts are mainly beatles songs and they sound pretty good.
The edition of this DVD is not what real fans wait: not a complete concert set (again). I wonder why Macca keeps on doing this; doesn't he know there are special features sections in order to insert all that stuff he likes to add?
The band is Ok, though I particulary don't like the 'show-man' drumer at all.

Paul sounds pretty good

The DVD is good, but I only want to see and hear the Beatles stuff. The rest is filler. March 29, 2008

Good to Mediocre Production

On the whole I like this DVD of McCartney's tour. HOWEVER, I have to wonder what the %$#@ was going through the mind of the film editor (and eventually Sir Paul himself) when the brilliantly stupid decision was made to use the LET IT BE track as BACKGROUND MUSIC for various insipid comments about the "power of music". How could anyone--especially Paul--even consider that his fans would have loved to listen to LET IT BE as barely auduble background music for trite and ultimately uselss comments! Furthermore, how could anyone on the production team have agreed to even list LET IT BE as one of the cuts on this DVD, when it is NOT included in its entire UNADULTERATED form?! Beyond this obvious GIGANTIC GAFFE, there is also the fact that at least 4 songs that probably no one has ever heard were included in the show! What about NORWEGIAN WOOD, VENUS & MARS, LET 'EM IN, BLACKBIRD, UNCLE ALBERT....and scores of more popular songs than some of the ones on this DVD. March 22, 2008

wonderful!

Great performance, as usual. Always enjoy a Paul McCartney dvd; almost as good as seeing him live! March 8, 2008
