(BizzyRed, 2009-09-23) Bewhere! This DVD doesn't play on a USA DVD player. The write-up by MovieMars didn't tell you that. I assumed that since they were in the USA, they would be selling a DVD that played in the USA unless they said that it didn't. I was wrong. So if you are in the USA, don't bother buying it.
(MichaelFla, 2009-06-20) If you don't know much about McCartney/Wings, and only know them for their greatest hits, this package may be for you... For "us" 1st generation and serious collectors and Beatles' historians, this package is an insult... Where are the Wings years? Where is that ever elusive Wings' debut party/performance video (which much exist somewhere as we've seen snippets of it in very HQ... Rockshow should have been included in its entirety... One Hand Clapping and/or snippets of it... This could have been as extensive as a 4 to 5 disc set and we would have gladly paid for it... McCartney made the terrible mistake of leaving the project entirely to a third party and giving them free reign as to what to include... I DO have it, only because I'm a completist, but what a BIG dissapointment this was... Two stars is more than it deserves... This was your big chance Macca to leave a great souvenier of your musical travels and greatness... It can still be rectified tho' (hint, hint)...
(Robert K. Beshara, 2009-03-28) I purchased the McCartney Years hoping that I would find a lot of unreleased music videos and behind the scenes. The thing is I am a Beatles fan. I was more before than I am today, but I still regard the Beatles with a lot of respect. However, Paul McCartney's career is unfortunately mostly shameful. He has some good songs here and there. And you must understand, I like Paul. He wasn't my favorite Beatle, but I liked them all. It seemed that in his solo career, he never played with good musicians. He only wrote simple tunes with one-dimensional lyrics. At least, for the most part. His solo music career lacks a lot of depth. I believe he's very talented, but he can't just do it on his own. I don't know why he never collaborated with great artists! In any case, the 3 DVDs have a lot of things, but musically the songs are not up there with Paul's work during the Beatles! In other words, the McCartney Years doesn't embellish Paul's shallow music... it emphasizes it.
(Joao Lino Franzoi, 2009-03-10) Paul is a very HUMAN PERSON, GREAT MUSIC AND A GREAT ALBUM. PAUL IS A GREAT PERSON AND deserve all this success.
(Ranting Thespian, 2008-09-12) This is a very nice 3 DVD set. The music videos are all great to see and hear. Most of them are very nicely reproduced and cleaned up (one or two could have used more). Only a couple of the videos I could live without (the one with Michael Jackson . . . but I just don't like him after the jackson 5, Ebony and Ivory, and London Town) but there are really kewl ones on here. Some of them are Maybe I'm Amazed, Coming Up, No More Lonely Nights, Pipes of Peace, and Fine Line (there are secretly 2 versions of this video, you can play both of the first 2 DVDs, which contain the videos, one way chronology and a personal playist Paul made, watch Fine Line in both to get 2 versions of the video). The commentaries are nice too! Now the third Disc is where it could have been better. You get an edited version of Rockshow and Unplugged. I don't know why he didn't give the full versions (maybe not enough room for the DVD and didn't want to make it a 4 DVD set) but what we have is still good. Then the Glastonbury one is superb. If you are a McCartney or Wings fan, this will make you very happy. If the full performances were added, I would have given it 5 stars.
