Product Details

Product Description

Though benefit concerts are usually musically uneven, this 1999 show for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is an exception. Following an amusing Laugh-In-style intro and brief stand-up by Ellen DeGeneres and Margaret Cho, Sarah McLachlan performs her wistful "Angel" accompanied by stills of Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife (and avid PETA advocate), Linda. The B- 52s follow, bopping their way through "Love Shack," "Roam," and "Rock Lobster," then are joined by Chrissie Hynde, who dedicates her powerful ballad "I'll Stand by You" to mistreated animals. Climaxing this 65-minute concert is Sir Paul and his crack band (including Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour), cranking out a half-dozen back-to-basics rock & roll tunes from his album Run Devil Run. --Kevin Filipski

4.0 out of 5 stars Paul Gives a BETTER Performance than the Cavern! Aug 28 2002
By Julie A.K. Ross
Format:DVD
"Run Devil Run" is the greatest McCartney album out, and is also my number one favorite in collection of over 115 CDs and 50 music videos. Well, if you enjoyed "Run Devil Run," then you've got to try out this DVD. Paul closes this 1-hour performance with six songs from the "Run Devil Run" LP, all of which are joyous rockers. If you have the Cavern Club DVD,then this makes a very good companion, and if you don't, then I don't think you'll miss it too much when you have this. Paul, on this DVD, rocks harder and jams louder than at the Cavern Club. He also performs the title track, which is not featured on the Cavern Club DVD. All in all, get this instead of the Cavern, and see Paul rock his heart out. Once again, this is BETTER THAN THE CAVERN!

Paul gives a 5-star performance, but my rating goes down because of the B-52's ..., and the bonus features, which are too disgusting for words. Get the DVD for McCartney, but stay away from the bonus footage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two paws up! May 2 2002

Format:DVD
Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, the B-52's, and Sarah McClachlan, Margaret Cho and Ellen Degeneres performing to help animals. You'll certainly laugh--and if you don't get a little misty-eyed during the tribute to Linda McCartney, please check your pulse.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great McCartney performance Jan 15 2002
By TheBandit
Format:DVD
I'll be honest, the ONLY reason I got this DVD is for Paul McCartney. As a hardcore Macca fan, it was a must-have. Paul performs six songs, which closes out the program (which runs just over an hour). He appears in various spots earlier introducing guests.

The non-McCartney material okay. There's some stand-up comedy from Ellen Degeneres and Margaret Cho. Sarah McLachlan performs her song "Angel" as a Linda McCartney tribute. The B-52's do a fairly entertaining 3 song set. Chrissie Hynde does one tune, "I'll Stand by You".

The whole program was designed to raise awareness of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It's a more than worthy cause. The bonus features on this disc consist primarily of PETA-produced, celebrity hosted videos which are basically exposes of fur farms, puppy mills, and other businesses which torture animals. I watched one- on fur farms- and it was just too hard to view, so I didn't look at the other ones. As the DVD case warns, the videos contain very graphic and disturbing footage.

Getting back to McCartney, I think most people will be attracted to this release for his mini-concert. If you don't have his "Live at the Cavern Club" DVD, buy it first. That performance is with the same band and it is all McCartney-- simply the best Macca live video available. But if you, like me, think that the "Run Devil Run" band was great- you'll want to pick this up too. It is not hyperpole to say that the "Run Devil Run" band is McCartney's BEST group since 1969. It took him 30 years, but he managed to put together a fantastic rock group, yes ROCK group. David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd)on guitar and Ian Paice (of Deep Purple) on drums really help make this band soar. Macca is in great voice as they tear through 6 tracks from the "Run Devil Run" album, including the title track (which is NOT performed on the "Cavern Club" DVD). McCartney fumbles the lyrics to the second verse, but it just adds to the looseness of the performance.
