CD Description
TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC is the live album that McCartney's fans had always hoped he'd make. Recorded during McCartney's '89-'90 world tour, TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC delivers a perfect mix of Beatles tracks, previously unrecorded songs and McCartney's solo hits. Backed by a band that was probably the best group of musicians that he had worked with since The Beatles, McCartney dazzles with high-power performances that range from the anthemic "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" to gutsy rock and roll like The Beatles' "Birthday" and a rousing version of Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame". With wonderful surprises like McCartney's nostalgic version of (fellow '60s Liverpool band) Gerry and the Pacemakers "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying", TRIPPING THE LIVE FANTASTIC offers everything you could want from a live album.
Customer Reviews
BUY IT!
This album is magic. My Dad bought it almost ten years ago and even know I could still listen to it again and again. It has the most ridiculous version of Sgt. Pepper you will ever hear..! It also has the best guitar solo on 'The Long and Winding Road'. I love it dearly!
A classic, live piece for all Beatle fans
The Album contains from start to finish, a wide variety of classic Beatle tracks to suit every mood. The album begins with excellent tracks such as "Got to get you into my life" and "Birthday" creating an up-beat, happy feel to the compilation. The live album, aptly named "highlights" also covers more of the classic, sombre tracks familiar to Paul MacCartney's career with the Beatles, with songs such as "Eleanor Rigby" and "The long and Winding Road". All in all, an atmospheric, timeless piece!
Tripping over myself to listen to this again.
I am finding it hard to give a rating to this CD as it deserves 5* for being so brilliant but 3* because it's just an abridged version of the Tripping The Live Fantastic album (look on here for it and see the full tracklisting).
Does a live album really need a best-of? It's an interesting concept, and this is the only example of it I can see. I adore Paul McCartney but do not have and will not buy this, simply because I see it as unnecessary. For McCartney completists only.
Having said that, it is a great summary of his 1989/1990 live shows and it does have some of the best song he did on that tour.
Highlights of this highlights album, for me, are:
The phenomenal version of Sgt Peppers with the guitar middle section
All My Trials (a rare Macca song, which I actually see is not included on the other Tripping album, and in fact is only otherwise available on ltd edition CD singles)
Coming Up
Things We Said Today
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight
My Brave Face
