Shooting Stars From a Purple Sky

Good Evening New York City memorializes Paul McCartney's triumphant return to the home of the other New York baseball team and it hits stores next week. In anticipation of this monumental commercial event, the marketing machine is in full force:

NPR's All Songs Considered Blog has the video for Flaming Pie.

Amazon.com has the video for Only Mama Knows.

HisSpace is streaming live tunes.

His official site has a free MP3 download of Let Me Roll It.

His site also has video of Highway, embedded below.

I honestly wonder if he's ever sounded better. Generally I'm not a fan of live releases unless they're extraordinary or I was there. This one just might be extraordinary and I sure wish I was there.
