McCartney to release New York City gig

Paul McCartney has announced the release of a live album culled from three gigs at New York's City Field.

Titled Good Evening New York City, the November 23 release features career-spanning tracks from The Beatles, Wings and McCartney's solo albums.

McCartney said: "It was three great nights for the band and for me personally it was very exciting to be back opening a new stadium on the site of the old Shea Stadium where we had played 44 years previously.

"Even more exciting because this time round you could hear us!"

The standard 2CD + 1DVD package features 33 songs performed live on July 17, 18 and 21, opening with 'Drive My Car' and closing with a medley of 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and 'The End'.

A 2CD + 2DVD deluxe package also boasts footage of McCartney's July 15 performance on the Ed Sullivan Theatre marquee, including tracks not aired on the Late Show with David Letterman.
