"Paul Is Live" by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1993

Paul’s throat suffers the same fate as in "Tripping the Live Fantastic", but here again he plays a number of not previously performed live Beatles tunes. Strangely, "Fixing a Hole" was not included on the disc in favor of yet another live version of "Live and Let Die". Paul does a take on the old “Paul is dead” rumors from 1969 and includes a modification of The Beatles’ "Abbey Road" cover in case everyone forgot the joke. The Volkswagen’s license plate now reads, “51 IS” instead of “28 IF”.
