Backstage With Paul McCartney
The three-hour “rock ‘n road movie” will take fans inside the McCartney’s tour, giving access to the dressing rooms and delivering scenes from the back seat of his personal limo and aboard his chartered jet.
The Back In The U.S. DVD will also show Macca and his band at sound check, plus footage of more than 30 classic songs filmed at shows all across America and presented in 5.1 Dolby surround sound.
“This feels like a very special tour and because of that we wanted to film not only the great shows we’ve been enjoying but also reveal to people what we’re doing when we’re not doing the show. There are a lot of private moments on the DVD – it’ll be like a backstage pass to the intimate zones where most people never get,” McCartney said.
The DVD will be released by Capitol Records on November 2 and will be packaged with a Back In The U.S. double CD featuring 36 songs recorded live on his recent American road trip.
“We recorded the album at various shows on the first leg of the U.S. tour in the spring and I’m excited by the sound that we’ve got with this new band of mine,” said Paul McCartney. “I wanted the album to capture the spirit of some magical nights on the road as a lifelong reminder for the great crowds who shared them with us.”
The musicians he speaks so highly of are Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray on guitars, Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums and Paul “Wix” Wickens on keyboards.
McCartney’s current American tour runs through October 29. In November, he travels to Mexico, Japan and Australia.
