Paul McCartney announces European tour; Live CD/DVD to be released
Following a tour of the US this summer, Paul McCartney just announced his first European Tour since 2004. This December will see Macca play seven special arena shows across Europe, culminating with his first ever public performance at London’s O2 Arena, which will be his only UK date of this year.McCartney begins the tour in Hamburg on December 2. Paul said: “This is my chance to bring our current show home to where it all began. Starting in Hamburg, ending in London and rocking everywhere in between. I’m very much looking forward to ending the year on a high.”

Maybe Paul’s son, James, will join him on tour? James McCartney and his band, Light, have started performing at small clubs in London (see photo).

For those of you who won’t be able to make it to one of the European shows this December, you can re-live the Macca magic with ‘Good Evening New York City’, a multi-disc CD/DVD featuring performances recorded at New York’s Citi Field from Paul’s ‘Summer Live ’09’ tour.
Paul McCartney’s historic three-night musical christening of New York’s Citi Field (formerly Shea Stadium) on July 17, 18 & 21, 2009 will be immortalized November 17 when Hear Music/Concord Music Group releases “Good Evening New York City”.
This momentous musical experience will be available in two formats: a 3-disc (2 CD + 1 DVD) standard edition and a 4-disc (2 CD + 2 DVD) deluxe version featuring expanded packaging and a bonus DVD including McCartney’s traffic-stopping, headline-making July 15 performance on the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee (including bonus numbers not aired on the Late Show with David Letterman broadcast). The set will also be made available in high quality vinyl. “Good Evening New York City” marks McCartney’s 2nd release for Hear Music. The first was 2007’s highly acclaimed Memory Almost Full.
