Paul McCartney & Friends – The PETA Concert for Party Animals [VHS] Specifications

Though benefit concerts are usually musically uneven, this 1999 show for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is an exception. Following an amusing Laugh-In-style intro and brief stand-up by Ellen DeGeneres and Margaret Cho, Sarah McLachlan performs her wistful “Angel” accompanied by stills of Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife (and avid PETA advocate), Linda. The B- 52s follow, bopping their way through “Love Shack,” “Roam,” and “Rock Lobster,” then are joined by Chrissie Hynde, who dedicates her powerful ballad “I’ll Stand by You” to mistreated animals. Climaxing this 65-minute concert is Sir Paul and his crack band (including Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour), cranking out a half-dozen back-to-basics rock & roll tunes from his album Run Devil Run. –Kevin Filipski

Songs:
Angel (Sarah McLachlan), Love Shack (The B-52’s), Roam (The B-52’s with Chrissie Hynde and Sarah McLachlan), Rock Lobster (The B-52’s), I’ll Stand By You (Chrissie Hynde and The B-52’s), Honey Hush, Brown-Eyed Handsome Man, No Other Baby, Try Not To Cry, Lonesome Town, Run Devil Run (Paul McCartney).

[if "Run Devil Run" is the greatest McCartney album out, and is also my number one favorite in collection of over 115 CDs and 50 music videos. Well, if you enjoyed "Run Devil Run," then you've got to try out this DVD. Paul closes this 1-hour performance with six songs from the "Run Devil Run" LP, all of which are joyous rockers. If you have the Cavern Club DVD,then this makes a very good companion, and if you don't, then I don't think you'll miss it too much when you have this. Paul, on this DVD, rocks harder and jams louder than at the Cavern Club. He also performs the title track, which is not featured on the Cavern Club DVD. All in all, get this instead of the Cavern, and see Paul rock his heart out. Once again, this is BETTER THAN THE CAVERN!

Paul gives a 5-star performance, but my rating goes down because of the B-52's ..., and the bonus features, which are too disgusting for words. Get the DVD for McCartney, but stay away from the bonus footage.]

The b-52’s – stephane gagne –
The best thing in this concert is the B-52’s, they sing their best songs, they stole the show.

I was there…. – OckGal – Maryland, USA
A friend and I had long since wanted to to to CA and we finally did. Being at this very formal event surrounded by people who love and care about animals was such a wonderful experience. The ceremony was incredibly moving and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that there wasn’t a single dry eye at the time. The concert was after the ceremony and you were able to get right up close to the little stage. While I was a bit disappointed that Paul only did his latest songs, he looked and sounded great, and everyone had a fabulous time. Having some of this experience on film is extremely cool. Those who say it’s boring apparently weren’t there. It was more than just a concert. It was about people being together and sharing a common cause. Maybe it seemed boring because the mood of the event wasn’t always 100% happy. A lot of emotions were there that evening.

Crank Up The Volume! – Julie A Ross – Pleasant Hill, CA United States
This is a great rock ‘n’ roll performance by Paul McCartney. To close the 68 minute performance Paul plays six songs from his “Run Devil Run” album, including the title track (which is not seen in the Cavern Club DVD). Also performing are the B-52s, Chrissie Hynde and Sarah McLachlan. But here’s a warning: the music here rocks, but the bonus features are very upsetting. Don’t watch them. But do watch Paul, for he will rock you to death. Also recommended is the Paul McCartney Live at the Cavern Club DVD.
