Just thought I’d give my loyal TheDailyVinyl fans a heads-up that on the 2-year anniversary of this site, I’m going to launch “TheDailyVinyl LIVE! I’ve been editing the footage I took at this year’s RUSH, Paul Simon, Wood Brothers and Street Corner Symphony concerts. Keep an eye out for July 7th!

I have begun uploading the hour of video I filmed at the Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. This July 26th 2010 concert was the very first time Paul McCartney EVER performed in Nashville (as a Beatle, in Wings, solo — ever!), so it was quite funny when he said “Hello Nashville! It’s good to be back!”

He opened the show with “Venus and Mars” > “RockShow” > “Jet”. Although this version of RockShow is extrememly abridged, it was still the first time he performed it live since the 1976 “Wings Over America” tour. Pretty amazing.

The second (well, I guess technically it’s the fourth song) of the evening was The Beatles classic “All My Loving”

He then rocked it out with another song from the 1975 Wings album “Venus & Mars” — “Letting Go”

Back to the Beatles cannon — “Got To Get You Into My Life” from the 1966 album “Revolver.”

And now he’d like to do a song by his alter-ego… called The Firemen. The song is “Highway” from the album “Electric Arguments.” This tour is interesting because he is not actively promoting a new record. His last tour was to promote this album and “Memory Almost Full.” So for that reason, there were only 4 post-Wings songs played! Although, I enjoy seeing and hearing the new stuff, knowing that most of it will never be played live again, it was fun to get a healthier dose of classics this time around. (I also saw him in ’89 in Miami and ’93 in Orlando where he was promoting “Flowers In The Dirt” and “Off The Ground” respectively.)

I’ve added some live videos to my YouTube page, but have not posted them here, until now. The first ones I added were of the Aimee Mann show/Squeeze show on September 3, 2008.

Aimee Mann opened the evening with a wonderful performance (despite the fact the lady has no idea how to smile).

The video is very shaky because I was nervous about “being caught”. Later, the ushers said I was free to film, so the videos of Squeeze are awesome!

Here’s the final number of the evening: Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)

Be sure and check out the other Squeeze videos, if you’d like.

As a final note about this concert; This show will always be special to me as it was probably the last full concert a very dear friend of mine ever attended. Miss you sweet Melissa.

Becuase I think it’s only right that if I share a band’s music, I should provide a link to purchase it… here is some stuff I recommend. Here’s the AMAZING soundtrack to the 1999 film “Magnolia” featuring Aimee Mann’s best stuff! (and some Supertramp hits!)

and here’s a great SQUEEZE compilation that you can pre-order:

Enjoy the new LIVE CONCERT VIDEOS category. Up next—- PAUL MCCARTNEY!!!!
