The eternal fascination with all things Beatle pretty much guarantees an audience for any offering from the group and its respective members, and that will likely be the case with Paul McCartney: The Space Within US, a documentary recorded during his 2005 world tour (and broadcast in truncated form by A&E). Not that it's by any means bad. McCartney and his crack four-piece band are seen performing a variety of Fabs faves, from the delightful trifle that is "I'll Follow the Sun" to the genuine masterpiece that is "For No One" (the latter is a solo job, as are "I Will," "Yesterday," and others); as Apple computer poo-bah Steve Jobs, one of the many talking heads on hand to sing Macca's praises, points out, just hearing these classics played and sung by the guy who wrote (or co-wrote) 'em is a treat, and the great sound and high-definition video certainly don't hurt. On the minus side, the camera spends a lot of time in the audience, capturing their rapturous and often quite touching responses to the music. There are also bits focusing on a Beatles-obsessed family from Columbus, Ohio, all three generations of which are excited, to put it mildly, when Sir Paul pays them a brief visit before going onstage, and on two astronauts on board the International Space Station, for whom McCartney plays "English Tea" (from his 2005 CD Chaos and Creation in the Backyard) through a live feed from his Anaheim, California gig. These tangents may be distracting to fans who just want to watch McCartney and company at work, but considering that this was dubbed "the Us Tour," they should hardly come as a surprise. Same goes for the disparate line-up of celebs and others, ranging from Bill Clinton and various academic types to Tony Bennett and Eddie Vedder, whose comments punctuate (and occasionally interrupt) the music. Bottom line: there are better McCartney concert videos (like Live in Red Square), but this is a Beatle we're talking about here. For many, that will be more than enough. --Sam Graham

The Next best thing to seeing him in person May 19, 2008
I have to admit Paul has never been my favorite Beatle. Paul however is the last of the Beatles who wrote music.
I do enjoy many songs Paul has written with the Beatles, with Wings and as a solo performer.
What you have here is history. Paul McCartney and John Lennon are the two greatest composers/writers of the last century.
This is a chance to see one of the Masters displaying why he is so popular and fameous.
Paul opens the show with Hello, Goodbye and it just goes uphill from there.
Another thing that was cool was how he ended a song with Foxy Lady, the old Jimi Hendrix tune.
He does Beatles classics like Got to get you into my life and Penny Lane, among others.
To me the hightlight of the show was when he did Jenny Wren and English Tea for the current album.
He also closes the show with Yesterday and other big hits from the Beatles days.
This is not as good as seeing him in person, but it is the next best thing.

Paul's peformance during this tour is still strong. The tracklist of the concerts are mainly beatles songs and they sound pretty good.
The edition of this DVD is not what real fans wait: not a complete concert set (again). I wonder why Macca keeps on doing this; doesn't he know there are special features sections in order to insert all that stuff he likes to add?
The band is Ok, though I particulary don't like the 'show-man' drumer at all.

Paul sounds pretty good March 29, 2008
The DVD is good, but I only want to see and hear the Beatles stuff. The rest is filler.

Good to Mediocre Production March 22, 2008

On the whole I like this DVD of McCartney's tour. HOWEVER, I have to wonder what the %$#@ was going through the mind of the film editor (and eventually Sir Paul himself) when the brilliantly stupid decision was made to use the LET IT BE track as BACKGROUND MUSIC for various insipid comments about the "power of music". How could anyone--especially Paul--even consider that his fans would have loved to listen to LET IT BE as barely auduble background music for trite and ultimately uselss comments! Furthermore, how could anyone on the production team have agreed to even list LET IT BE as one of the cuts on this DVD, when it is NOT included in its entire UNADULTERATED form?! Beyond this obvious GIGANTIC GAFFE, there is also the fact that at least 4 songs that probably no one has ever heard were included in the show! What about NORWEGIAN WOOD, VENUS & MARS, LET 'EM IN, BLACKBIRD, UNCLE ALBERT....and scores of more popular songs than some of the ones on this DVD.
