SHOW : This was an a secret performances by Paul McCartney at Amoeba Music In Hollywood on 27th June, 2007. Originally released as an EP which I've bought earlier, I found this complete recording later at a fleas market at a much cheaper price then the one which have only 4 songs and at 3 times the price. Sign. This is more in line with his "Unplugged" album 'cos he was playing to just a small audience and thankfully, his chattering with the crowds was not edited out entirely. Anyway, since Paul have had so many live CD released, this one holds no significant for me other than being just a keepsake.
Drive My Car ( Lennon / McCartney ) : Typically of any Paul McCartney's live show, this one just starts off without any introduction. The music's fine but Paul's voice seems to be losing his battle with age.
Only Mama Knows ( McCartney ) : This almost the same version as the one on his last album "Memory Almost Full."
Dance Tonight ( McCartney ) : Another from his latest album, this one at least have him chattering with his audiences which was sorely lacking from his other concerts. Rather faithful cover of the original.
C Moon ( McCartney / McCartney ) : Clearly Paul was in his element when he was playing in front of a live crowd and clearly his audiences loves him. He altered the lyrics now and then and the audience loves it.
That Was Me ( McCartney ) : Obviously Paul was trying to promote his latest album as this was the third song from his last album. Somehow this sounded better live.
Blackbird ( Lennon / McCartney ) : Back to familiar materials with this Beatles favourite. Paul was always friendly and chatting with his audiences, and it's nice and warm to hear him goofing around with them. Don't know why he chooses to edited them all off in his other concerts CD.Here Today ( McCartney ) : Always a poignant moment when Paul sings this ode to his fallen comrade. Truly a heartfelt vocal that you can feel it.
Back In The U.S.S.R. ( Lennon / McCartney ) : This one flared much better than 'Drive My Car.' Maybe he haven't warmed up yet.
Get Back ( Lennon / McCartney ) : This was what the audience wanted to hear and Paul sure gave them what they want.
Hey Jude ( Lennon / McCartney ) : There are two songs that Paul could not get away without singing. 'Let It Be' was one and this. Given the time constrain, I guess he chooses this one and given his age, he was 65 when this was recorded, you gotta gives the man credits. He did the same routine as on his other concerts. The boys first then the ladies, then everybody......
Lady Madonna ( Lennon / McCartney ) : Paul's voice as evidence on his "Back To The U.S." CD seems to get better as he sings along. A stellar performance.
I Saw Her Standing There ( Lennon / McCartney ) : Trust Paul to save the best for the last. If you don't get off and rock to this, there's got to be something wrong with you. First heard more than 40 years ago and still sounds as good. This song will never ever go out of style. DOP : Unknown.
AMOEBA'S SECRET : This was actually the legitimate release of the secret concert. The complete concert CD release was the bootleg version which admittedly was more fulfilling and satisfying while this CD only gives a sample of that show. Still, this one cost me much more than the complete CD.
Only Mama Knows ( McCartney ) : Refers to above CD.C Moon ( McCartney / McCartney ) : Refers to above CD.
That Was Me ( McCartney ) : Refers to above CD.
I Saw Her Standing There ( Lennon / McCartney ) : Refers to above CD.
DOP : 30th January 2012.
