Paul McCartney 1993 - #1: On February 18 1993, Paul McCartney launched his New World Tour, which stretched until December and saw Sir Paul, wife Linda, Paul "Wix" Wickens, Blair Cunningham, Robbie McIntosh, and Hamish Stuart visit North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. McCartney was touring in support of his latest album, Off The Ground, so the set list featured 6 songs from the disc - Hope of Deliverance, Peace In The Neighborhood, C'mon People, Biker Like An Icon, Looking For Changes and the title track. The new tunes, however, were not the reason thousands of people flocked to these concerts. No, most folks, like my wife and I , who saw Sir Paul during this tour  on June 11, 1993 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, went to hear the "cute Beatle" reach into his illustrious past. We were not disappointed. From the opening Drive My Car to the closing Hey Jude, over half the set list was dedicated to Beatle tunes. Throw in a few Wings classics such as Band on The Run, Live and Let Die, My Love and the rarely played Another Day, and this was a night to remember. We didn't have the best seats -- not sure if there is any such thing as a good seat in a 60,000 seat stadium - but it hardly nattered. We knew every note and sang every word, knowing this was as close to the Beatles as we would ever get. And who knew at the time that it would be another 9 years before Paul would again tour. Fortunately, in recent years he has been on the road much more frequently, asas he shows no signs of slowing down despite approaching his 75th birthday..  In any event, since very few good tapes from the 1993 tour exist, we've decided to do something a bit different - we're bringing you a series of soundchecks from the tour.  All are soundboards and often feature Sir Paul playing songs that he normally would not include in the set list.  We'll start with this recording from May 5, 1993, 2 dozen years ago today, and bring you 4 more as the month goes on.
