Paul has always sounded best live -- and this one tops them all. / 5
I've always thought that Paul was a pretty good composer, an excellent arranger, and a fine singer and bass player. But I've also always felt (and even more so after seeing him live) that Paul McCartney lives to perform. He's truly at home onstage, and puts 110% into his performances, as evidenced in his 1976 offering, "Wings Over America."
"Unplugged: The Official Bootleg" captures a totally different side of McCartney live. Instead of approximating the arena-rock experience (which is difficult to do on a record), you're treated to an intimate, informal performance -- almost as if Paul & Co. were performing in your own living room.
Yes, Bubba, you're right. This isn't a "real" bootleg. It was released within weeks of the MTV Unplugged performance, specifically designed to beat the bootleggers to market. Paul's original idea was that it would be a "real" bootleg, manufactured at a plant other than Capitol's, and distributed underground through the same means as real bootlegs.
Obviously, Capitol/Parlophone didn't like that idea, and so Paul compromised, limiting production to 250,000 copies in the US and another 250,000 in the UK. Those 250,000 copies US sold out in the first week, peaking at #14 in Billboard (not too shabby), then dropping off because there weren't any more copies to be sold. Until now, only Japan has continued to produce the CD, and now, thankfully, it seems to be back in production again Stateside.
I bought the CD on the day of release in 1991 (I didn't even own a CD player yet), and the VINYL LP (yes, really!) two days later. It's the CD I pull out when I want to "introduce" naysayers to McCartney.
Song "Only Love Remains"
Only Love Remains
by Paul McCartney
And If You Take Your Love Away From Me,
I'm Only Going To Want It Back.
I'll Probably Pretend I Didn't See,
But Knowing Me, I'll Want You Back Again, And Again
'Til The Word Has Lost It's Meaning,
And Love Is All That Stays. Only Love Remains.
If You Should Ever Feel That Something's Wrong,
I'm Going To Want To Put It Right,
To Bring A Happy Ending To Our Song,
I'll Carry On Believing In A Love.
If Your Love Was To Trickle Through My Fingers,
What Would It Leave Me With?
Only Love Remains. Only Love...
Old Enough And Strong Enough To Stretcch Across The World.
Taking The Sand Inside An Oyster, Changing It Into A Pearl.
Making Another Magig Transformation,
Find The Right Boy For The Right Girl.
When All Our Friends Have Gone Away And We're Alone,
There's Nothing Left To Show About,
Together We'll Explore The Great Unknown.
I'd Say We Won't Be Going Out Tonight,
Let Tonight Be The One That We Remember,
When Love Is All That Stays,
Only Love Remains... Only Love Remains...
