There's precious little that Paul McCartney has left to achieve in his lengthy musical career. I'm not convinved that hit records or money really mean that much to him anymore. So why does the former Beatle continue to tour and release material like the live DVD/CD set Good Evening New York City? I honestly believe it's out of a desire to simply entertain his hordes of fans. And that's
Paulie wants to give you a free video ("Highway," above) and a free MP3 ("Let Me Roll It," below) in exchange for your email address to plug his new live 2CD & DVD, Good Evening New York City.

Unplugged (1991)A Surprisingly Essential TreatBelieve it or not, Unplugged is one of Paul McCartney's best albums. I'd place it in my own Top 5 McList, as it offers a well executed cross-section of oldies, obscure solo material and a few Beatle songs not ravaged by time and repetition. Since this album was recorded nearly two decades ago, Paul voice is in stellar form (as are the band's harmoni...
Paul McCartney played 3 history making shows at Citi field this past week, popping the new stadium’s concert cherry and signifying a full circle since The Beatles christened Shea in 1965. I tried to go at the last minute on Saturday, but had no luck scoring a ticket that cost less than my monthly bills. [...]

After each and every song, Paul would motion to the crowd in all directions thanking them and took...

If a friend were to ask "How was Paul McCartney's headlining Coachella set Friday night?" My response would be: "He opened up with the Wings song "Jet," followed that up with every Beatles song you ever wanted to hear live before you died, came out for two encores, and also managed to blow up the stage...literally. How was Paul McCartney, you ask? It was insane. You left simply with the thought...
Following his Friday night headlining Coachella performance Sir Paul McCartney will head to Vegas to christen the new bigger and badder version of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's the New Joint. Usually not a big deal, but McCartney and the concert promoters, Concerts West/AEG Live, are trying to break some world records with this April 19th gig. First, they're saying that this one-off gig sold ...
