The Audiofön label continues to play catch up, with it's live shows, with this incomplete St. Petersburg show, which has been available for over four years on the Piccadilly Circus release 04 Summer Tour St. Petersburg. Whilst I have not been able to do a direct comparison, the Piccadilly release will retain it's CORE status irrespective of the concert quality because it also contains the Pre-show, Yellow Submarine and the Soundcheck.
Paul McCartney performed his 3,000th concert to a rainsoaked crowd of over 70,000 in St. Petersburg. Fans were prepared for the weather, decked out in raincoats and umbrellas. The preshow started at 7:15 and Paul came onstage at 7:30. Torrential rain fell just before the show started and then the skies began to clear up due to the organizers arranging for three jets to spray the clouds with dry ice. The technique helped to stop the rain by holding water in the clouds and cost $36,000.
There was a thunderous roar as Paul stepped onstage. Fans shouted to Paul during the Show in Russian and English.
Throughout the show Paul praised the crowd in Russian as well.
When he introduced "Here Today", he said in English with the Russian translation posted on the video screen behind him."Sometimes we don't say what we want to, to people when they are with us, and then it gets to late when they pass away. That's why I wrote this song for my friend John Lennon "For Hey Jude" Paul spoke in Russian for the singalong in Russian."Hey Jude" along with "Let It Be" and "Yesterday," drew the most excitement from diehard Russian fans. Beatles songs received the biggest reaction and enthusiasm from the crowd. The crowd went wild when images of the Beatles were projected on the video screens.
