PAUL
McCARTNEY - ‘CHAOS AND CREATION AT ABBEY ROAD’ - PRESS RELEASE -
25.01.2006
An Intimate Concert Exclusive For
Thirteen/WNET New York’s GREAT PERFORMANCES on PBS
Paul McCartney’s 20th studio
album, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, received four Grammy Award
nominations earlier this year and widespread critical praise from
critics upon its release last year. It’s been called one of his best
solo works ever, an album of songs that critics have compared to many
of the Beatles classics that made McCartney one of the greatest
songwriters of our time. Now, Thirteen/WNET New York’s GREAT
PERFORMANCES is set to premiere a rare concert event; a listen to some
of the new songs, and some of the old, as McCartney returns to his
“creative backyard,” Abbey Road, with Paul McCartney: Chaos and
Creation at Abbey Road, an intimate, concert exclusive.
Premiering Monday, February 27 at
10 p.m. (ET) on GREAT PERFORMANCES (check local listings), the
intimate, one-hour special finds the legendary singer-songwriter back
at Abbey Road’s Studio 2, the cavernous room where Chaos and many of
the Beatles’ most famous records were made. Performing solo before a
small group of fans and friends, McCartney offers songs and
reminiscences about the Beatles’ years, selections from his recent
Grammy-nominated Album of the Year, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard,
and a fascinating look at how various musical effects were achieved in
both the early Beatles albums and on Chaos.
Viewers are treated to a virtual
one-man McCartney band, as he plays right and left-handed guitars,
drums, harmonium, bass, Mellotron, and even wine goblets. Fans will
particularly enjoy the stories and the performances, which include
McCartney’s rendition of one of the first song’s ever recorded by the
Beatles, “In Spite of All the Danger,” as well as Beatles classics
“Blackbird” “Lady Madonna,” and “I’ve Got a Feeling,” Wings’ “Band on
the Run” and new songs from Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, “Jenny
Wren,” “English Tea,” “How Kind Of You,” and “Friends to Go.”
Other selections include Eddie
Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock,” McCartney’s audition piece that
“apparently got me in the Beatles,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” featuring Paul
on bass and a special Jamming Track Finale, that somehow morphs from
“That’s All for Now,” a song made up on the spot, into “Blue Suede
Shoes.”
A Maguffin Production, Paul
McCartney: Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road is directed by Simon Hilton
and produced by James Chadd. It was recorded live at Abbey Road
Studios, London, July 28, 2005.
GREAT PERFORMANCES is funded by
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, public television viewers and
PBS. Major corporate support is provided by Ernst & Young LLP, a
global leader in professional services.

GREAT PERFORMANCES, with Bill O’Donnell as director of program
development. Barry Schulman is executive producer.

PAUL
McCARTNEY - EACH ONE BELIEVING: THE TOUR
Exclusive Traveling Photo
Exhibition Featuring Images Taken From Each One Believing, The
Access-All-Areas Book Of Life On The Road With Paul McCartney
Exhibit Set To Hit Cities Across
America In ‘06
Proud Galleries is delighted to
announce the 2006 exhibition tour of a unique photographic show that
faithfully captures Paul McCartney’s life on the road. Based upon the
book Each One Believing: Onstage, Off Stage and Backstage, published by
Chronicle Books, the show is comprised of over 40 pictures taken by
photographer Bill Bernstein over the course of the most successful tour
of McCartney’s post-Beatles career.
The tour is set to visit cities
across the United States throughout 2006, beginning with the March 4th
opening of Paul McCartney’s Each One Believing: The Tour, at San
Diego’s Morrison Gallery. Each exhibit is slated to run from three
weeks to two months in order to give fans the opportunity to view the
show firsthand. Other locations include Inspire Fine Art in Chicago,
Walnut Street Gallery outside of Denver and Stephen Cohen Gallery in
Los Angeles. The original exhibition opened to both public and critical
acclaim last autumn at the Proud Galleries in London.
'Each One Believing: The Tour,'
illustrates McCartney’s first solo tour in nearly a decade and includes
images taken onstage and backstage during a journey which saw sold-out
concert performances in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Rome, Moscow
and more. Poignant and candid, funny and illuminating, this is a road
trip with Paul McCartney like no other.
Bernstein’s lens captures the
excitement evoked by the grand lighting of stage sets; the heightened
energy of the band in mid-song; and the intimate shots of Paul alone
playing at his ‘Magic Piano” or onstage with his beloved Hofner guitar.
“The response that ‘Each One
Believing’ has received has been overwhelming,” said McCartney.
“Everywhere we go people tell us how much they enjoy the unique balance
between the engaging photographs and first-hand written accounts and
events from the tour. It seemed a natural when we were approached to
put the exhibit on the road and so we did.”
Photographer Bill Bernstein had
unprecedented on stage, off stage, and back stage access providing
dynamic images both of Paul’s public appearances and the quiet
one-on-one moments. Exhibition and sale prints will be signed by both
McCartney and Bernstein.
