Have a peak at Paul McCartney’s December 10, 1992 performance for a television special titled Up Close. The gig was filmed at the Ed Sullivan Theatre where Paul made his U.S. debut with The Beatles in February 1964, and the occasion was Paul’s upcoming February 2, 1993 release of his new Off The Ground CD. After opening the show with the Eddie Cochrane rock ‘n’ roll standard “Twenty Flight Rock”, Paul introduced the first track of the evening from the upcoming album – another rocker with an energetic ’50′s sound called Get Out Of My Way. Paul works his Hofner bass and belts out the lead vocal on the track with the full support of his 90′s band including Blair Cunningham on drums, Paul “Wix” Wickens on the keys, Hamish Stuart and Robbie McIntosh on electric guitars and Linda McCartney on tambourine. Interspersed with short segments of backstage commentary, Paul and band kept the show alive with more plugs from Off The Ground such as “Biker Like An Icon” and “Hope Of Deliverance”. He was also quick to throw in a few Beatles tunes for good measure such as “I Wanna Be Your Man”, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, “Fixing A Hole” and “Lady Madonna”.
