Notes

Mean Fiddler

audience

A nice recording from Paul's brief club semi-acoustic tour in 1991. Given that this was (probably) recorded on an analog deck in what was certainly an overcrowded general-admission setting, this is an outstanding recording.

The performance is great fun. I'm sure most avid Paul/Beatles collectors are by now very sick of the scripted between-song banter in the arena and stadium shows; this show catches Paul at his most improvisational. You can tell he's having a great time, and his comments are entirely off-the-cuff. The show is really inspired; entirely acoustic for the first disc and electric for the remainder.
