This TV feature was great, Paul fascinated a live audience of some 60 people, performing some of the songs from his new album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard and some of his classics from the Beatles and Wings era. In the last 10 minutes of the show he even recorded a version of Blue Suede Shoes, actually 2, overdubbing bass, guitar, lead guitar, and piano on a drum track, then adding to this instrumental take 2 vocals, one containing his own lyrics, and one remaining faithful to the original ones. He also showed how The Beatles used a mellotron on Strawberry Fields Forever and, in a hilarious scene, what a mellotron's original purpose was.
Great Performances (TV Series)
