 Great dvdAug 15, 2010
Could not disagree more with those complaining at the audience footage. To me that's what makes this & the Red Square dvd's so wonderful. The music's there a-plenty but you really get a feel for how it affects people of all ages & cultures.More of the same with other bands would be great but I guess no-one alive would have such an audience-affect as Mr McCartney.
More of a documentary, than a concert movie.Jul 02, 2010
This DVD was taken pretty much in the same vein as the previous release of the Moscow/St Pete DVD.
Many little side trips during the concert. Tended to stop the nice flow the concert was creating.
I gave it 5 stars because for one thing, I got it at a very low price. You can't deny listening to
Macca do the old Fab 4 tunes without a smile on your face...and maybe a few tears. The rendition of
Please Please Me during the encore was a special moment. Macca taking the lead on a song that was normally
sang by John Lennon. The fan reaction during the encore was quite emotional to watch.
McCartney At The Top Of His GameMar 02, 2010
After 45 years, it is absolutely extraordinary that Paul McCartney can still touch the hearts of an audience with his music and his performance. This is one of the very finest concert DVDs I've ever seen. I'm kicking myself for not going to a live McCartney show. Other than a bit too much time featuring a couple of fan families (heartwarming but I'd rather see the show), the DVD offers up one great song after another. The band is terrific, Paul is in great voice and the songs cover his entire career with lots of Beatle tunes. All I can say is "Over 40 years ago today, McCartney helped the band to play. They've been going in and out of style but they're guaranteed to raise a smile. So let me introduce to you the act you've known for all these years: Paul McCartney's Lonely Hearts Club Band!"

 Paul worship is messyFeb 25, 2010
I could only sit through half of this video. I couldn't take the too frequent video of his adoring (I should say worshipping) fans in the crowd hanging all over each and crying anymore. I was getting a toothache from all the "sweets".
In addition, and despite the constant reminders from members of the band and crew and Paul himself of what an "average guy" he is, the often and awful worship comments of McCartney, his music and his legend was sickening. Enough with ALL the "US" business, I got the idea after the first 2 or 3 explanations of it. Erect a monument to him and be done with it. I was getting the feeling that he is the 2nd Coming.
That his music could close the generation gap and fix dysfunctional families is a huge stretch of the imagination. If people are expecting that to happen, and to last, they are delusional at best.
AND what's up with the scene of a family from Michigan getting ready to go to the local concert, give me a break! Like I could care about the opinions of "loyal, dedicated" fans preparing to go to his concert. "aside from my family and religion he (McCartney) has been the greatest influence on my life" one guy says. Another cloying instance of McCartney worship. Get a life buddy!
I almost forgot to mention (as others have) the video editing is horrible. From the jumping around from camera angle to camera angle you could never watch the "band" perform. It is also annoying that they have to cut to McCartney or a roadie or a technician or some other "follower" spouting accolades in between almost EVERY song! LET'S JUST SEE THE CONCERT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
As far as the music goes, it is too polished, too "perfect", since it is drilled into us what a perfectionist McCartney is. The band is good and Paul doesn't sound bad for a 63 year old. I give this a VERY tentative '***' only because I like the music but if that was all I wanted I would have purchased the CD instead.
 Another Blu-Ray dissapointmentJan 25, 2010
Good video, sad audio. Instead of recording the audio with surround in mind, it sounds like they tried to re-mix the 2-channel into make believe 5.1. It didn't work.
