At the suggestion of a listener, we rank Paul McCartney’s officially released live albums—that is, no video-only releases, bootlegs, or unofficial recordings. We explore the pros and cons of live albums in general, how Paul assembles them, the bands he’s played with, and the song choices for each release. We also share some ideas for future re-releases we’d love to see. As always, we wrap up with the latest news (and noting the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone) as of our recording date and some listener feedback.
(Ignore the report about James McCartney's "wedding" - it was an AI bot story)
