Highlights downunder
Orange
74:29

A live Wings bootleg is something one can simply close the eyes and buy. It's guaranteed to get na outstanding record.

Besides the lovely booklet and picture disc, this CD brings the great 1990 Liverpool show, where Paul did the famous medley Strawberry fields forever/ Help/ Give peace a chance.

Live in Tokyo
Blackbird
74:00

I've said before and I keep my opinion: a live Wings bootleg is something everyone can get with no fear of wasting money. These concerts are alwats superb. Despite the title, this particular CD brings the Liverpool 1979 show, and not the Tokyo show. The title is probbaly a joke on Paul being arrested in Japan for possessing marijuana. Sound quality is not the best possible, but the performances make this an excellent CD.
CONTENTS:
Got to get you into my life - Getting closer - Everynight - Again and again and again - I've had enough - No words - Old siam sir - Maybe I'm amazed - The fool on the hill - Let it be - Hot as sun - Spin it on - Twenty flight rock - Go now - Arrow through me - Wonderful Christmas time - Coming up - Goodnight tonight - Yesterday - Mull of Kintyre - Band ont he run

Live on TV in Rio part Two
Ram Records
54:22

Recorded in april 20, 1990, this is not a must have CD unless you have some special interesting in hearing Paul live in Brazil (which I do, of course...:o) ). Sound quality is not very good, and repertoire doesn't bring many news but the live version of P.S. love me do. The version from the following day show was officially released on Birthday single.
CONTENTS:
This one - My brave face - Back in the U.S.S.R. - I saw her standing there - Coming up - Friends of Earth plug - Let it be - Ain't that a shame - Live and let die - Hey Jude - yesterday - P.S. I love you/ Love me do - Drowd participation time - Get back

Live rarities
No label
71:53

This CD, originally released in vinyl, brings obscure live songs. Not one of the best live bootlegs, for it repeats many songs, and many of them have been offically released in live form. But it's still interesting to hear How many people and Blue suede shoes. In adition, there's some wonderful bonus tracks, taken from several sources.

New York 1992
Golden Stars
77:19

This CD brings part of Ed Sullivan 1992 TV show, plu songs from Unplugged. The Ed Sullivan set is very interesting, for it brings 20 flight rock, Get out of my way and Fixing a hole, which haven't been offically released in live versions. However, the show is incomplete, and na entire version has been released. The Unplugged set is not very interesting, for they're exactely the same songs from the relased version, but in rather worse sound quality, which ames changed to deceive unwise costumers.
CONTENTS:
20 flight rock - Get out of my way - Fixing a hole - Looking for changes - Penny Lane - Biker like na icon - Michelle - Hope of deliverance - I wanna be your man - I wanna be your man - Off the ground - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - My love - Lady Madonna

Rehearsals for the New World tour
Music with love
71:23/ 69:26

This is double CD containing test shows for the New Worls Tour. Sound quality is not the best possible, to use na eufemism, but it's acceptable. This record is interesting, for it brings songs which haven't been officially released on live versions, like Another day and Down to the river. By the way, Down to the river hasn't been released in Brazila t all. It's amazing how it's easire for Brazilian fnas to get the bootlegs than to get the official records, specially for we don't have singles. Hey, EMI, don't you think it's a great stupidity??
CONTENTS:
Drive my car - Coming up - Get out of my way - Another day - All my loving - Let me roll it - Peace in the neighbourhood - Off the ground - I wanna be your man - Robbie's guitar solo - We can work it out - And I lov eher - Everynight - Hope of deliverance - Michelle - yesterday - My love - Lady Madonna - Live and let die
