Detail : | Paul's nineteenth "solo" release, second live album, and second triple album. The personnel in the band for this live tour were : Paul, Linda, Robbie McIntosh, Hamish Stuart, Chris Witten and Paul "Wix" Wickens. The production was by : Paul, Bob Clearmountain and Peter Henderson. The album was mixed by Bob Clearmountain. The tracks were recorded by Jeff Cohen. A live album reflecting music performed during Paul's 1989-1990 World Tour ... except, it actually includes some tracks that were NOT actually performed during the concerts. As marked below, these were mostly recorded at soundchecks. The Paul McCartney World Tour opened on 26th September 1989 at the Drammenshallen, Oslo, Norway and ended 10 months later at Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois. During that time Paul McCartney and his band travelled 100,330 miles, visited Norway, Sweden, West Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, U.S.A., Canada, U.K., Japan and Brazil, and played 102 concerts to 2,742,000 people. New attendance records were set at Wembley Arena, London; Texas Stadium, Dallas; The Sun Devil Stadium, Phoenix; The Cyclone Stadium, Ames, Iowa; The Municipal Stadium, Cleveland and The Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California. The tour was voted "International Tour Of The Year" by Performance Magazine, the concert trade newspaper.
On 21st April 1990 at his second show at the Maracana Stadium, Rio De Janeiro, 184,000 Brazilians turned out to celebrate
Paul McCartney's first visit to their country and set the new official World Record for the biggest stadium concert in the
history of rock 'n' roll.
The live track, "C Moon" is recorded 27th October 1989 at Palatrussardi in Milan and is released on the single
"All My Trials" on 3rd December 1990.
The triple album is housed in a single sleeve that has room for three L.P.'s and a glossy free booklet. Each album has
a different image on the front as seen above, with the rear being plain mauve with the track listing for that record.
The 28 page 11 1/4" X 11 1/4" glossy colour booklet, gives the dates and places of each recording used for this release,
together with some terrific colour photographs, one of which can be seen above.
Tripping The Live Fantastic: Highlights
|
"Just got back from the world tour and this is being written shortly after.
From Rio to Glasgow, Tokyo through most everywhere and back again, this album captures some of the sounds of those nights
on tour - when 'Spaceman' ran the red flag up, Curtis pushed the rig out and together with more than 100 others they staged
the show.
"Showtime" was the call and the shuffle through halls to backstage rituals nightly served to energise this merry band.
And at soundchecks we played old songs from memory or made up pieces to keep ourselves amused. These "trinkets" are
sprinkled throughout the album and hopefully convey a certain good humour.
We saw fans with messages replying to our own ... we saw emotions and we saw hope for the future ... couples necking ...
grown men crying ... children far too young to know ... and we played for all of them."
