Paul McCartney - the full 30 minute David Letterman rooftop perf

The full 30 minute David Letterman rooftop performance atop the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee, where the Beatles made their U.S. debut in 1964. Not 'quite' the infamous 1969 Beatles rooftop performance, but the closest our generation will get. But great concert!! After several days of video editing, I cut this to play as one contiguous 30 minute concert. In reality in this July 15, 2009 appearance, Sir Douglas and the Band played Get Back and Sing the Changes on the David Letterman Show atop the Theatre marquee, while the other 5 songs were only broadcast by CBS on streaming webcast. After much work I recorded and converted the streaming webcast and edited it into The Late Show songs. Something about them playing outdoors on Broadway in New York City in the middle of the day gives this concert a great joie de vivre and his band is excellent. The sound and video are better on the 2 songs showed on CBS, but the sound is surprisingly decent on the webcast as well and I edited it several times to make it as seamless as possible with the 2 nationally broadcast songs. The video quality on the stream-cast is obviously reduced, but it's virtually seamless (no jerkiness typical of stream-casts) and better than I've seen uploaded elsewhere on other torrent sites. Full concert in order: 1. Get Back 2. Sing The Changes (excellent new song and album from Paul's Electric Arguments by The Fireman) 3. Coming Up 4. Band on the Run 5. Let Me Roll It 6. Helter Skelter 7. Back in the USSR 8. 30 sec 'Easter Egg' Technical info: Vid length:31:27 Codec: DivX 6.8 avi file Size: 540 X 300 pxls Video rate - 1200 KBps Audio rate - 192 KBps (probably overkill since I'm sure they streamed less than that) Enjoy!- this is about the 12th rip/edit of this to work out several kinks.

thx krun, And agree bakeman!! -
Can't believe how good this performance is. Watched it like 15 times now and the more and more I appreciate the performance - the entire band is phenomenal and blow Wings out of the water. Not only all incredible musicians but the backing vocals would make even Brian Wilson proud on songs like Back in the USSR.
And Paul's voice sounds just as great as it was the 1960's, and sound mixing is pretty much perfect. Even songs like 'Coming Up' which I wasn't a big fan of on 'vinyl' - they turn into a great jam with a Peter Gunn influenced bridge.
Dam - wish he was doing a national tour.
