Parkinson (1999)


Paul opens up like never before with an interviewer like no other in this December 2, 1999 special. The result: a frank and relaxed chat on everything from coping with Linda's death to the secret of song writing. Look out for an early, in-progress version of Your Loving Flame (with David Gilmour on guitar) and the only performance till date of New York Cabaret Song.

05. Twenty Flight Rock

The Piano Tape


Another perennial favourite over the years, this one finds Paul sitting down at his piano sometime in 1978 and running through a whole bunch of songs, some of which he would record decades later, and some never at all. The sound quality isn't good because only a portable recorder was used, but it's a great insight into the creative process of the great Macca!

01. Million Miles
02. Mull Of Kintyre
03. I'll Give You A Ring
04. You Know It's True
05. Women Kind
06. Getting Closer
07. In My Dreams
08. Rockestra Theme
09. Letting Go
10. Call Me Back Again
11. Lunch Box/Odd Sox
12. Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People
13. You Gave Me The Answer
14. Waiting For The Sun To Shine
15. She Got It Good
16. Blackpool
17. Sunshine In Your Hair
18. Girlfriend
19. I Lost My Little Girl
20. Upon A Hill
21. Sea
22. Love Is Your Road, Love Is My Road
23. Sweet Little Bird
