McCartney on Red Square - A&E Special

Anyone see this? It was pretty good.

Interesting pieces about the Russian people and the Beatles, in the early '60s. Great crowd reactions and all. I think there was a tune he did that he did not do in the US, I can't remember it now, but it was earlier on in the program.

Check it out if you can.

Seeing Paul do Back in the USSR in Red Square is a highlight!

10PM ET Sat Night - I am sure it will be repeated.

 

It will, Jon. There's a 2-4AM rebroadcast which I set my D-TiVo for.

 

I did watch it and it was quite stirring at times. But, what I took away from it most--at least as it seemed to me--was Sir Paul's need (desperate?) to be 1) recognized by fans, and 2) to be recognized as a FORMER BEATLE. It was as if he were a teenager needing the affirmation of others to feel he was a success, rather than being secure in the knowledge of the import of his past accomplishments.
