Label : no label Venue : King's Dock, Liverpool, England Recording Date : June 28, 1990 Length : 77:03 Quality : FM Recording (A+) Review : On June 28, 1990 Paul McCartney returned to his home city for a charity concert, appropriately named ‘Let It Be Liverpool’. The enormous concert was held in the King’s Dock, on the waterfront adjacent to the Albert Dock. Since then the King’s Dock was the venue for Liverpool’s summer pops concerts for many years until 2004. A new purpose built stadium, the Echo Arena Liverpool, opened there in 2008. Paul himself said : "It was the best moment of the tour for me. A homecoming which led to a lot of nerves particularly for the band, which I hadn’t even thought of till we got there. But they were all thinking, This guy was in The Beatles. We’re not The Beatles. Where does that leave us? Standing on the stage all day you could see this beautiful weather coming towards us, blue sky, a lovely sunset. Great balmy evening and a crowd of 50,000. We played pretty good and the high-spot was when we played the medley tribute to John, finishing off with Give Peace A Chance. We finished — and the crowd didn’t. They just kept the ‘All we are saying’ chant going. That brought a lump to the throat. They sang it over and over. It just came looming up to us from the back until we had to kick back into it — that was one of the greatest moments of my career. It’s moments like that that make you go, God, this is it! This is why I like it!". This bootleg (with no label mentioned) has only a part of the show, the part that was broadcasted on BBC Radio One. This is Paul McCartney in excellent sound quality. |
