In 2002, on the occasion of the Annual Concert in Memory of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performed a rarely played piece written by ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Standing Stone is a 75-minute symphonic poem based on a Celtic legend written by McCartney himself. There are elements of landscape music from the classic English tradition, passages of high musical drama, jazz sensibilities, and sentimental melodies straight out of Hollywood. Revealing a lot of McCartney's personality, this epic-musical fantasia shows just how far Sir Paul has come from simple 3-chord love songs. This meeting of the best of classical and pop music--Ex-Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney and the London Symphony Orchestra--proves to be very fruitful indeed. STANDING STONE is the video record of the world premiere of McCartney's eponymous symphonic poem. A gorgeous classical triumph in four movements, this piece was performed on October 14, 1997 at London's historic Royal Albert Hall. A documentary detailing the composition's creation is also included.

Paul Mccartney - Standing Stone review
 $25.29
Considered together, IMAGINE and its startling predecessor, PLASTIC ONO BAND, paint a vivid picture of the state of John Lennon immediately post-Beatles. If PLASTIC ONO BAND found John working out his hitherto repressed feelings about childhood and stardom, then the abiding impression of IMAGINE is John's one certainty in this storm of doubts and recrimination: his love for Yoko. "Jealous Guy," with its peerless vocal and a spot-on arrangement for strings, is sublime. "Oh My Love" is all delicacy and melodiousness. "Oh Yoko!" is a celebratory finale with none of the cloying self-obsession of John and Yoko's home movies.
On two other songs where Yoko is not the dominant theme, she ...

Paul Mccartney - Standing Stone DVD
$17.49
In the five years following the break-up of the Beatles, John Lennon established himself as a critically and commercially successful solo artist in addition to dealing with a number of private and public tribulations. Lennon eventually released ROCK 'N' ROLL, a batch of covers ranging the gamut of early rock classics from the '50s and '60s. Lennon threw himself lovingly into this project that hearkened back to the simpler times ...
| | Elvis Presley Vinyl LP (2007)
Paul Mccartney - Standing Stone movie DVD
$15.69 
When Elvis first broke on the national scene, nobody--not RCA, not Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker, and certainly not Elvis himself--had any idea how long his popularity would last. Most assumed that rock and roll was a passing fad and that Presley would soon be relegated to the "where are they now?" bin. Unsurprisingly, RCA rushed Presley's first album to market before Elvis had recorded enough new material for an entire record. The result, ELVIS PRESLEY, is a cut-and-paste job consisting of seven RCA recordings and five older tracks licensed from Sun Records, Presley's first label.
Still, this is a monumental record in the history of rock and roll, from its iconic cover (which The Clash later paid homage to on the ...
| | Fireman Electric Arguments CD (2008) Digipak
Paul Mccartney - Standing Stone video
 $12.15  
ELECTRIC ARGUMENTS is the third album that Paul McCartney and producer/former Killing Joke member Youth have made under the Fireman name, but it's drastically different than either of its predecessors. Where the first two Fireman albums were essentially instrumental ambient-house recordings (the first one began as a remix project for McCartney's OFF THE GROUND album) with the occasional psychedelic touch, most of ELECTRIC ARGUMENTS is relatively conventional pop/rock.
That said, the cut-and-paste lyrical approach, raw feel, and freewheeling musical structures of the tunes all hark back to early, anything-goes McCartney efforts such as WILD LIFE ...
| | Plastic Ono Band Live Peace In Toronto Vinyl LP (1969) Limited Edition
Paul Mccartney - Standing Stone film
$22.89
This 1995 reissue of LIVE PEACE IN TORONTO, 1969 includes a 1995 version of the original John and Yoko calendar.
Although one of the world's best-kept secrets at the time, this was John Lennon's declaration of independence from the Beatles, the document of a concert appearance at Toronto's Rock and Roll Revival festival about a month after the conclusion of the Abbey Road sessions. Thrown together literally on the wing (they rehearsed only on the flight from England), the ad-hoc band consisting of Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass, and Alan White on drums hit the stage to the surprise and delight of the thousands who packed Varsity Stadium. "We're just going to do numbers we know, you know, because we've never played together before," confesses John, who was reportedly extremely nervous before going on. But the repertoire ought to have been a cakewalk for a quartet of seasoned rockers -- blues-based oldies ("Blue Suede Shoes," "Money," "Dizzy Miss Lizzie") and basic recent Lennon numbers ("Yer Blues," "Cold Turkey," "Give Peace a Chance") -- and they lay it down in a dignified, noisy, glorified garage band manner. Lennon is in fine vocal form, confident and funny despite his frequent apologies, while Yoko confines her caterwauling to "Cold Turkey." That was side one of the original LP. Side two, alas, was devoted entirely to Ono's wailing, pitchless, brainless, banshee vocalizing on "Don't Worry Kyoko" and ...
