PAUL IS LIVE features 24 live tracks with two previously unreleased new songs (which were recorded at soundchecks). The 11 Beatles songs featured on PAUL IS LIVE did not appear on McCartney's previous live album TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC.
Even though PAUL IS LIVE was McCartney's third live album in as many years, most of its twenty-four tracks are not repeated from McCartney's 1990 live set, TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC. Recorded during McCartney's 1993 American tour, PAUL IS LIVE features exceptionally energetic performances from the ex-Beatle and a great band that includes Hamish Stuart (ex-Average White Band) and two former members of The Pretenders, drummer Blair Cunningham and guitarist Robbie McIntosh.
Since most of McCartney's solo hits had already been featured on TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC, PAUL IS LIVE focuses on songs like "Hope of Deliverance" and "Biker Like an Icon" from his then-current OFF THE GROUND album. Also included are such previously unperformed Beatles songs as "Paperback Writer," "Penny Lane" and a gorgeous version of "Here, There and Everywhere." Unlike McCartney's 1976 WINGS OVER AMERICA live album, the songs on PAUL IS LIVE are presented exactly as they were performed on stage and they capture McCartney--as he sings on one of the rock and roll oldies that he performs on this album--delivering plenty of "Good Rocking Tonight."
Personnel: Paul McCartney (vocals, bass, electric & acoustic guitars, piano); Hamish Stuart (electric & acoustic guitars, bass, background vocals); Robbie McIntosh (electric & acoustic guitars, background vocals); Linda McCartney, Wix Wickens (keyboards, background vocals); Blair Cunningham (drums, percussion).
Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Julian Mendelsohn, Bob Kraushaar.Q (1/94, p.96) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The performances are seamless without being anodyne and the revisitings of Beatles classics are genuinely vibrant and uncluttered with modern twaddle...." Stereo Review (3/94, p.98) - Performance: Value For Money / Recording: Adequate - "...It's a real live album, complete with bum notes and foibles that make it more human....early Beatles stuff is wonderful..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)
Hmmmmm........ What do you think? I don't know. Sure, Paul was resurrecting old Beatles songs that haven't been heard in a fresh sense in a long time. But in all honesty, these live versions of Beatles songs are not as good as the original songs. Magical Mystery Tour falls flat, in all honesty. He shouldn't have tried it, much less put it on the live album. But, oh well, that's macca for you. He ain't perfect, but he tries his best. He especially does good on the oldies-but-goodies, and the softer, more elegaic Beatles numbers. For the hard-core fan, but not for casual fans, is my final comment.
