Paul McCartney for the 90's!
Directed by Richard Lester (of 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help' fame back in the sixties with McCartney's "other" band), Get Back sees McCartney and a band featuring his wife, Linda, and Paul 'Wix' Wickens (who is still on keys for McCartney today, in 2023) crisscrossing the world, on a tour thirteen years in the making.
Wings and Beatles songs make up the bulk of the program (around 90 minutes' of run time) and the obligatory backstage stuff + some Beatles footage inserted during those Lennon-McCartney songs that are performed by an excellent band.
That band - also featuring Hamish Stuart, Robbie McIntosh and Chris Whitten - looks like they're having the time of their lives, and why wouldn't they be, playing THOSE songs with THAT guy. The Abbey Road medley is a heck of a way to close proceedings.
Great stuff.
