 Is the volume too low?Jul 09, 2009
I bought this when it first was released. I even bought several more over the years and while the music and the whole idea of Paul McCartney getting unplugged is brilliant, I have just one complaint: I can hardly hear the music without pumping up the volume. If my ipod, which is connected through my stereo, is set for shuffle and it plays a song from this collection I have to pump up the volume and then the next song comes on blasting. Anytime I've played any of my cd's I always had this issue. Musically, this collection is 5 stars. But I gave it a generous 3 stars because of the volume.
 Love ItApr 29, 2009
I feel like I am part of the audiance. He is playful and he sounds great. A must for any Paul Mccartney fan!

 McCartney RelaxesNov 12, 2007
This is one of the best of the many solo live McCartney CD's, if only because of the relaxed nature of it. Done during the period when widely popular MTV Unplugged was near its peak, Paul McCartney tones down the fire for a laid back and cozy run through a few old favorites, and a surprisingly swinging rockabilly groove. Beginning with Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula" and ending with a McCartney obscurity, Paul is obviously having a barrel of fun. His singing is relaxed and unforced, the band is solid and swinging, and there is an element of cheer that really adds to the proceedings.
There are also some clever stories to be told, like the breif explanation of the first song McCartney ever wrote ("I Lost My Little Girl"). He even lets himself have a joke at his own expense, flubbing the opening verse to "I've Just Seen A Face." Coming so soon after the labored production afforded the terrific Flowers in the Dirt, this spartan and loose live show captures the boyishness that is a hallmark of McCartney's best work. "Unplugged" may have started life as a heavily bootlegged item, but it has since become a modest and unheralded gem in McCartney's catalog. (Followed soon after by the almost as good CHOBA B CCCP (Back in the USSR).)
Nuggets Of A Follow-Up To Abbey Road... And MoreMay 22, 2007
I first watched it on tv, later had to make a tape from a friend's cd - yes, the first cds sold out that fast - and finally got my own cd after moving to Japan in the early nineties. Quibbling aside, this could be the quintessential McCartney album, highlighting each and every strength he has as a songwriter and performer. Most notable are three songs he brings back from his first album, McCartney. Had the Beatles stayed together, That Would Be Something, Every Night, and Junk might have immortalised themselves on the follow-up to Abbey Road, but only here, twenty years later, are we are treated to what each composition sounds like live and performed by a proper band. The sound is superb, the setting intimate, and Paul has a lot to be proud of in this one.

Great AlbumMay 12, 2007
A great album to listen while you are driving, working around the house, or actually working at work (as if). Great versions of tunes that you don't expect to hear from Sir Paul, such as "Be-Bop-A-Loo-La", "Blue Moon Of Kentucky", "Ain't No Sunshine", etc. I love it when he actually forgets the words to one of the old Beatles hits. I highly recommend this album to Sir Paul fans or Beatle fans.
