4.0 out of 5 stars Vast improvement over the last several Macca live DVDs, November 17, 2009

By	Robert Joseffer "Rob" (Coral Springs, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this set, primarily for the DVD.

The DVD is a VAST improvement over McCartney's previous live videos.


Let's take a look:


Rockshow (great movie, but not a complete show.)

Get Back (incomplete show. annoyingly cut from many different shows. Too many audience shots, etc.)

Paul Is Live (incomplete show. Too many MTV style cuts. Headache inducing.)

Back In The US (every song is interrupted by documentary footage. Way too much focus on audience shots, and not enough of what's going on stage.)

Live In Red Square / St. Petersburg (horrible editing. Like Paul Is Live, its headache inducing.)

The Space Within US (incomplete show. Documentary footage and celebrity testimonials interrupt every song. Extra disappointing, as this was one of my favorite Paul tours, and a horrible document of what was an amazing tour.)


Oh, how I wished Paul would just release a concert DVD, with no documentary footage between songs. Of a complete show. And edit it well.

Good Evening, NYC fits the bill.

Almost.

It is the full show. The editing is not as jumpy as some of the others.

No extraneous footage between songs, ruining the flow of the concert.

But I subtract a star for the inclusion of 'audience cam'. At the shows, they distributed little handheld video cameras, to a number of concertgoers. And some of this amateur footage, is sometimes mixed in with the professional footage. I'd have rather had the pro footage only.

So its not exactly what I wanted. But it's getting closer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Concert, A Great DVD, November 17, 2009

By	L. Kramberg - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A disclaimer: I was at the first night at Citi Field, so I watched with memories of that great performance. I got the deluxe package from Best Buy today and intended on watching the first few songs on DVD. 2 1/2 hours later, I had sat through the whole show and felt like I was back at the concert. Actually, there was one song that was better on the DVD - "I'm Down" interspersed footage from both the Beatles at Shea and McCartney at Citi Field. The DVD must have combined the three nights because Billy Joel is on the DVD (and he only performed the first night) but there are no crowd scenes with umbrellas (it rained during the middle part of the first night). Paul was greatly moved by being back at the site of the historic Shea concert and it shows in his performance. Definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars McCartney Just Keeps Getting Better with Age!!!, November 17, 2009

By	The Vinman (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This 2cd 1dvd set is incredible. Having gone to the CitiField concert it was great reliving that evening. Nothing can match the energy of actually being at the concert but boy does this come close. The audio recording is superb as is the video. It's amazing at 67 years old how vibrant McCartney is and his voice sounds better than ever. There are so many Beatle songs in this set that will please any Beatle's fan and they all sound terrific. His solo material is awesome and the pyrotechnics during Live and Let Die must be seen. This is a must buy for any McCartney fan.
