Film Notes
Spanning four decades, The McCartney Years is a three-volume DVD collection of more than 40 music videos and over two hours of live performances. Volumes One and Two contain the definitive collection of McCartney music videos, all the way from ‘Maybe I'm Amazed’ in 1970 to 2005's ‘Fine Line’. The films can be viewed either in chronological order, in playlists personally arranged by Paul, or watched with his own commentaries recorded exclusively for this DVD. These are honest, witty, personal and at times genuinely sad and reflective, and reveal more than a few secrets. Volume Three showcases three classic live performances: Rockshow, filmed on Wings' 1975 World Tour, new edits of Paul's seminal Unplugged of 1991 and his triumphant headline performance at Glastonbury in 2004. The McCartney Years is packed with classic films, performances, little-known gems from the McCartney vaults, archive interviews by Melvyn Bragg and Michael Parkinson which sit alongside alternative versions of music videos and the full-length documentary Creating Chaos At Abbey Road. Also included are the 2005 Superbowl half-time show and ‘Let It Be’ from Live Aid. The menus feature yet more out-takes from the archive.
The collection has been meticulously restored and all films polished, re-graded and given a new lease of life in Widescreen format with remastered stereo and, for the first time, the original recordings re-mixed into 5.1 surround sound.
