A new live album from Paul McCartney

| Paul McCartney: Live at the Electric Proms, 2007 |
A new Paul McCartney album, “Live at the Electric Proms 2007” on the Charly label was introduced to iTunes (and other music download shops) in the U.S. and several other countries, but (probably for contractual reasons) not in the UK. It’s a 17-track album, which sadly only lacks 7 more tracks to be a complete audio document of the evening. The concert was shown on TV in Great Britain in HD quality, and has been heavily DVD-bootlegged ever since. I had the pleasure of attending this concert, just a few days after having attended his Paris Olympia concert.
The track list:
- Magical Mystery Tour
- Flaming Pie
- Got to Get You into My Life
- Dance Tonight
- Only Mama Knows
- Blackbird
- Calico Skies
- Eleanor Rigby
- Band on the Run
- Back in the USSR
- Live and Let Die
- Baby Face
- Hey Jude
- Let It Be
- Lady Madonna
- I Saw Her Standing There
- Get Back
Total Length: 54:02
Missing songs performed at the concert but not available on this album:
- C Moon
- The Long And Winding Road
- I’ll Follow The Sun
- That Was Me
- Here Today
- House Of Wax
- I’ve Got A Feeling
For this concert, Paul McCartney’s backing band was helped by the inclusion of live strings, which really made a difference and breathed new life to songs like “Eleanor Rigby”. Too bad Paul “Wix” Wickens still opted for stringing along on his keyboards.

I noticed this earlier this week, in iTunes (Holland), when I looked for the new Macca-single. Was wondering if this was legitimate. Call me old fashioned, but I don't do bootlegs, so. But now I can buy it, I guess. 🙂
I am hoping it will be available on CD in Australia, so I can get better quality than iTunes. It seems that sites like HDTracks are not legally able to sell Macca albums in Australia.
