PAUL MCCARTNEY: CHAOS AND CREATION AT ABBEY ROAD
Premiered on February 27, 2006 on PBS


In this unique concert, the legendary Paul McCartney returns to Studio 2 at London's Abbey Road Studios (where most of the Beatles' recordings were made) for a fascinating journey through his songwriting career, from his very first Beatles song to the work for his new album, CHAOS AND CREATION IN THE BACKYARD. Using a selection of vintage instruments from his own collection -- including the bass played by Bill Black on Elvis Presley's original recording of "Heartbreak Hotel" and the Mellotron mixing console used by the Beatles -- McCartney revisits his back catalogue in new and revealing ways before an intimate studio audience. McCartney reinterprets old songs and new songs, performs some terrific cover versions, and enlists the audience's help in a demonstration of "in the moment" songwriting and arranging. Among the songs performed are "Blackbird," "Band on the Run," "Lady Madonna," and many others.

Do you remember posting this, Rumpole, way back in the beginning? :)

Started watching it yesterday, watched it again today in a different frame of mind. AWESOME! He is amazing and the vintage instruments -- so interesting! "Blackbird" is my least fave because of the Manson days, but his solo version was good.

After he mentioned the two vinyls that Duff kept so long, I looked it up. He bought them back from Duff in 1981. I would love to learn what all he owns (memorabilia, instruments, catalogs etc.)
