DESCRIPTION
This 3-disc (2 CD + 1 DVD) standard edition of Good Evening New York City features dazzling performances of Beatles, Wings and solo classics from Citi Field, formerly Shea Stadium, historic site of The Beatles’ Landmark 1965 Concert. As documented on Good Evening New York City, "I'm Down" from the Beatles 1965 set list was revived for the Citi Field shows. Other highlights include faithful takes on Beatles classics "Drive My Car", "Got To Get You Into My Life", "The Long And Winding Road", "Blackbird", "Eleanor Rigby", "Back In The USSR", "Paperback Writer", "Let It Be", "Hey Jude", "Helter Skelter" and more, plus "Something" rendered on a ukulele given to Paul by George Harrison, and a tribute to John Lennon in the form of a medley of "A Day In The Life" and "Give Peace A Chance". Wings-era tracks include "Band On The Run", "My Love", "Let Me Roll It" and "Live And Let Die". The McCartney solo material ranges from "Here Today" to the upbeat "Flaming Pie" and "Dance Tonight", to a pair of numbers from Electric Arguments, the 2008 album released under the alias of The Firemen.
The concert footage featured on Good Evening New York City standard edition features concert footage directed by Paul Becher, who has overseen live visuals for McCartney for some 200 performances and counting. The 33-song 2 hour 40 minute performances were shot in High Definition using 15 cameras and digital footage incorporated from 75 Flipcams handed out to fans over the course of the three night stand. The audio mix, in both stereo and 5.1, was handled by longtime McCartney engineer Paul Hicks, whose credits include the recent Beatles remasters, The Beatles Anthology, Let It Be... Naked, and two Grammy awards for his mixing work on the Beatles' Love album.(amazon.com)

COMMENTS
Good Evening New York City is available in a standard 2 x CD/1 x DVD or 2 x CD/2xDVD Super Deluxe Edition containing over two hours of audio and in excess of three hours of concert footage.
It was recorded over the first 3 nights at the new Citi Field stadium replacing the recently demolished legendary Shea Stadium.
In 2009 Paul and his band had been together for seven years and were at the top of their game.
You can hear and see that in the performances on Good Evening New York City whether it be the opening Drive My Car, the Memory Almost Full Wings style rocker 'Only Mama Knows', the two Fireman numbers Highway & Sing the Changes or the many Beatles favourites scattered through the phenomenal set list.
If you buy Good Evening New York City ensure you purchase the deluxe edition.
Paul and the band play a seven song set from the top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theatre and it's well worth the extra cost to view the blistering set that ends with a breath-taking Back in the USSR.
