Макка будет выступать в Бразилии...

Kaiser Music plans to bring McCartney to Brazil (Kaiser is a beer company here in Brazil that brought Rush to play three shows this month)

Folha de S. Paulo Newspaper, 11/18/2002: I'll translate the interesting bits: "Among names in Kaiser's Music agenda are Aerosmith, U2 and Paul McCartney, plus Radiohead..".

Here's the original bit from the newspaper:
Entre os nomes que fazem parte dos planos estгo Aerosmith, U2 e********* Paul McCartney**********, alйm do Radiohead, que й considerada uma banda de porte mйdio, por atrair um pъblico de cerca de 10 mil pessoas. O grupo, ao contrбrio dos outros citados, nunca se apresentou antes por aqui. Segundo Jъlio Pedro, as negociaзхes para uma turnк brasileira desses artistas ainda nгo foram iniciadas.

O orзamento para o Kaiser Music do ano que vem estб estipulado em R$ 190 milhхes e prevк ainda valorizaзгo de eventos envolvendo grupos nacionais e um concurso de bandas para revelar novos nomes no cenбrio nacional. Й possнvel tambйm que Belo Horizonte seja incluнda como quarta praзa, junto com Sгo Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Porto Alegre.

Here's a translation of the above via Babelfish:
Between the names that are part of the plans is Aerosmith, U2 and ********* Paul McCartney **********, beyond the Radiohead, that is considered a band of average transport, for attracting a public of about 10 a thousand people. The group, in contrast of the cited others, never was presented before for here. According to Jъlio Peter, the negotiations for one turnк Brazilian of these artists had still not been initiated. The budget for the Kaiser Music of the year that comes is stipulated in R$ 190 million and still foresees valuation of events involving national groups and a competition of bands to disclose new names in the national scene. It is possible also that Belo Horizonte is enclosed as fourth square, together with Sгo Paulo, Rio De Janeiro and Porto Alegre.

Как мне пишет знакомый японец, посетивший три концерта Макки, Пол изменил программу и играл "Caliko Skies" в Осаке!

Billboard ranked Paul the world's top touring artist of the year. "Delivering on a Super Bowl promise to tour North America for the first time in nearly a decade, McCartney's spring and fall legs brought in $98.8 million domestically and secured another $27.5 million from dates in Mexico and Japan."

PAUL McCARTNEY is to play his first UK and European concerts in 10 years when his highly-demanded 'Back In The World' tour kicks off in Paris on March 25th.

The launch of the three-month trek will coincide with the release on March 17th of two special souvenirs of the tour - a 37-song live album, titled Back In The World, and Back In The U.S. - a 3-hour DVD filmed inside the world tour during its run across America. The European tour, which will play include gigs in Paris, Barcelona, Arnhem, Koln, Hannover, Vienna, Munich, Hamburg, Dublin, Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham and London, will be Paul first in since his New World Tour of 1993.

Fronting a lean new band, Paul will perform his acclaimed and hugely-successful new show that last year broke 20 box office records during its 50-date tour of America. The tour won Billboard magazine's Tour of The Year accolade as the most triumphant concert trek of 2002.

Paul McCartney's two and a half hour, 36-song show caused crowd mania last year in Mexico, Japan and America - where it was dubbed "the greatest hits show on Earth".

The show includes 22 Beatles songs - the most Beatles songs ever performed in any one show - plus more than a dozen hits from his Wings and solo periods.

The Back In The World 2-CD album follows the hit album Back In The U.S. which was recently released in America as a souvenir of the first U.S. leg of the world tour. As the set list for the European tour will differ from the first American shows, the Back In The World tracklist has been changed so that the European album is a proper souvenir of the European show.

The Back In The World album will feature four songs not released before: live performances of She's Leaving Home, Calico Skies, Michelle and Let 'Em In.

These will feature alongside such classics as All My Loving, Back In The USSR, Band On The Run, Blackbird, Can't Buy Me Love, Carry That Weight, Coming Up, Eleanor Rigby, Fool On The Hill, Getting Better, Hello Goodbye, Here There And Everywhere, Hey Jude, I Saw Her Standing There, Jet, Live And Let Die and many others.

The Back In The U.S. DVD was previously only available in the U.S.A. and Japan, where it has already been a huge hit with fans as sales in America alone have been of triple-platinum status. The DVD has been dubbed "a rock and road movie" as it records not only the onstage concert action but also takes the viewer right inside the tour; filming Paul, the band and road crew backstage and offstage, inside dressing rooms, in the limos with Paul and even aboard his chartered jet for after-show mile-high party antics.

The 'Back In The World' concert show will include performance of Beatles songs never before played live in Europe. Said Paul: "I had a lot of fun touring this show across America last year and instead of been exhausted I felt exhilarated because I am enjoying it so much. I'm looking forward to playing through Europe and bringing the show back home to Britain.

"I think the crowd is going to like this gig - when I was thinking of what songs to play I just imagined myself as one of the audience and thought 'What would I like to hear him play?'

"So that means we'll be playing some of my Beatles stuff - rather a lot of Beatles stuff, actually - some Wings stuff and some more recent stuff; so basically the show pretty much spans my whole career. And I'm really getting off on playing it all with my new band, their energy and musicianship is phenomenal".
