Paul McCartney: Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road

This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

The music legend returns to Studio 2 at the famed recording venue in London where the Beatles produced most of their records. Along with producer Nigel Godrich , Sir Paul goes through his back catalogue and picks out a few numbers to perform in front of a selected audience of 64 people. Look out for re-workings of old favourites, a few songs not heard before and some great cover versions, all played on McCartney's own collection of vintage instruments. McCartney plays left-handed and right-handed guitars, drums, harmonium, double bass, Mellotron, and even wine glasses in a reworking of the Wings song "Band on the Run". He also reworks the Beatles' track "Lady Madonna", which he calls "Old Lady in New Clothes", with a much slower tempo and a swung melody line.
