this is a cut and paste of a review at Netflix:
"I stumbled onto this DVD because my wife and I recently rented Pauls' BACK IN THE US concert film, as a curiosity. We have both become active believers in the "Paul McCartney is dead" theory that has been floating around since the 60s, and we wanted to watch Paul to compare his looks today with his looks from the early 60s. What we found with the BACK IN THE US concert DVD was one of the most entertaining concert films ever produced! Whether or not the Paul McCartney of today is the pre-1967 Paul McCartney has become a moot point. The person known today as Paul McCartney is one of the most entertaining individuals on the planet. From his days of WINGS through the present day, he certainly knows how to give us a show, BACK IN THE US is proof positive. That brings us to PAUL IS LIVE IN CONCERT. What can I say about this DVD other than to say I could NOT watch it. When I popped this DVD into my computer I was SHOCKED and HORRIFIED. This concert contains graphic and I mean GRAPHIC images of animals being tortured, mutilated and murdered! I only watched one track "Helter Skelter", but the images were so horrifying, that I couldn't watch anymore. It's a shame too because while fast forwarding I saw alot of old Beatles footage that I'm sure is used while he sings other songs. I just couldn't watch anymore for fear of what other horrifying images might be included on this DVD. I know the person known to the world today as Paul McCartney is a fighter for animal rights, but did he have to include such horrible images over his music? The least they could have done was to warn us that such images would be included on this DVD. A WARNING NOTICE TO PARENTS AND SENSTIVIE PEOPLE: Some of the images on this DVD will give you nightmares. I'm still having them!"
