Paul McCartney's "Good Evening New York City": Exclusive Video Of "I'm Down" From New DVD

In July of this year, performing for over 100,000 people at New York's Citi Field, Paul McCartney played the inaugural concert in the new stadium, covering many of his biggest hits as well as famous Beatles classics. It was a return to the scene where the Fab Four's 1965 appearance at Shea pioneered the concept of stadium rock concerts, and McCartney's electric performance of the Help b-side "I'm Down," one of the three-day event's major highlights, is featured on his new CD/DVD, Good Evening New York City. Here is an exclusive clip of that performance from the DVD:

"Good Evening New York City" will be released Tuesday, November 17th and is available for purchase now on www.paulmccartney.com.

Thanks to the magic of the internet I have listened to just about all of this album and it is astounding.
By far is best live album.
There is power and energy in every song and the set-list just might be the single greatest ever performed.

[elatas]

I liked Cat Stevens as much. Too bad he quit music when he was at the top.

[lillibelle]

He would argue that he hasn't 'quit' but I hear you. I saw him in MSG in '73 ~ all the girls swooned.

I thought he left for religious reasons to go back to his Muslim faith? That's what I heard at the time.

I bought his last CD a few years ago but it was not the same. What made me smile is when my daughter wanted me to listen to a beautiful song she had just heard. It was an original Cat Stevens' song from the 70s. Great music reaches all ages, doesn't it? I'd still go today if he played his oldies. PS: What's MSG ?

[NHBill]

he actually has a brand new album out and it is not half bad.

[elatas]

How recent? I did a web search and he has a new one this year called roadsinger under his new name Yusuf Islam. Is that the one?

[Agentlady007]

God, I love this man. His voice and his music. He is the best dressed man in the world IMO.

[lillibelle]

AgentLady ~ You are back! Yeah!!! I have missed you.

Have you seen Sir Paul in concert? I saw him twice during his Wings Tour (~76) in MSG. Oh, were the crowds cruel to Linda. What's your favorite Paul song?

[lillibelle]

This one's for you, Agent Lady:

Paul's accountant must be very pleased that music hasn't been taught in public school for decades.

[TheBaffler]

When it is taught, he and his crap band are extolled to the middlebrows as the epitome of high art. It's bad enough that anyone likes The Beatles at all, but there are millions of these zealots who believe the band is in fact the ne plus ultra of western culture. Sad.

[lillibelle]

Which musical artists do you appreciate, Mr. Baffler?

[NHBill]

OK B.
Put up or shut up.
You can't just tell us what stinks without revealing what you feel is great.
Or will you just hide in the dark and snipe?
It takes guts to reveal yourself!
Chicken?

[WeCanDoMore]

What were the b ad energy guys called in Yellow Submarine?

[Guytar]

Many millions of Beatles fans since 1964.

[powder chowder]

He's like the energizer bunny with soul, he just won't stop.
Amazing!

[LindyK]

His voice sounds exactly the same after all these years. If you think that isn't unusual just listen to Rod Stewart.

[NHBill]

or Joni Mitchell

[audadvnc]

Paul's image on the front page thumbnail fairly screams, "Look at Me"! Even after all these years - Some people just can't get enough...

[NHBill]

it's called performing

[Darkswan]

nice elbow glide by the keyboardist, Just like ol Lemon did it

[playon]

As a pro musician, IMO Paul is killing it! He's over 60 and still singing the songs in the original keys... it's amazing. Rock on Paul.

[NHBill]

he really is killing it!
This album is amazing!

[TJCole]

Rock n Roll...Will Never Die..!

Time to get back to the basics...

[ominous]

I heard sarah palin doesn't believe in the Beatles.

[Progressiveama]

hahahahhaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa...I don't know if this is true or not, but it is hysterical either way!

[Mr-Larry]

Very funny

[Furby2]

kookookachoo

[Guy Incognito]

You made a fool of everyone.

[viko]

I was in a Mickey Dee's in Milano Italy To-Day and heard . O blah de O blagh da.and now I have just listened to I'm Down. Now I'm up.
I love any kind of Beatles and Stones. and any kind of Rock. I just love music .

I even like the four guy's going around impersonating the Beatles. I brought my kids to see them live to show off that they were not the only hip people around..

Did ya see The Boss say he was in Ohio instead of Mitchigan. We must loose ourselves to find ourselves.The real Boss said.

[jws2346]

I don't care what they say and I might be showin' my age, but that dudes still got it! Get 'em Paul

[TheBaffler]

The Liverpudlian Mediocrities are the most overrated artists in any medium, ever.

[jws2346]

Woah, I din't know they got hit with meteorites over in Liver whatever pudding. I have no ideer where that place is at. Is that joint Liver whatever pudding in the Middle East?)

[Furby2]

said an echoing voice with authority in vast and empty abyss.

[TheBaffler]

A crap line worthy of McCartney himself. You've learned well, acolyte of tripe.

[TheBaffler]

Ray Davies is a better songwriter by miles and miles.

[Nelson Montana - Huffpost Blogger]

I'll bet Ray Davies would disagree.

[TheBaffler]

It wouldn't change the fact that he is indeed superior; it would simply show that he's also humble.
