"The Space Within US"

2006
I picked up this concert film of paul mccartney's 2005 tour, chiefly because "I've Got a Feeling" is on the set list. I've always been amazed that more people don't mention this track when they talk about their favorite Beatle songs. It's extra special because it's one of the few songs in which john and paul swap off lead vocals. The concert exceeds expectations and "I've Got a Feeling" is stellar, with the lennon vocals capably handled by drummer wix wickens. Each song is sandwiched between interview and documentary clips, a format which usually annoys, but somehow works here. Paul is in wonderful form, and the interviews are sincere and interesting. Thinking about "I've Got a Feeling", i revisited a fantasy, a mccartney/julian lennon tour. I've hesitated to embrace this idea, not wanting to be a necrophiliac, but it could be a singular experience. Ringo could jump on, adding his songs and steady beat. Paul and julian would perform their own songs, and come together on any tunes which feature john/paul lead vocals, plus any that had particularly striking harmonies. It could be called the Hey Jude Tour. I've always felt that julian's work has been neglected. If the lads wanted to extend the family vibe, zak or james or dhani could join the party. In the spirit of healing, we could invite sean to be the opener (though that's perhaps hoping for too much). But paul and jule together...doesn't that sound like a concert you'd always remember?
