Paul McCartney on A&E TV Thurs 9/18 9pm EST
THE A&E NETWORK TWO-HOUR WORLD PREMIERE
PAUL MCCARTNEY IN RED SQUARE
SET TO AIR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 AT 9PM EST/PST
NEW YORK, NY, AUGUST 11, 2003 – His music helped to open a closed society, but Paul McCartney never had the chance to perform in Russia … until this year. A&E Network presents the 2-hour world premiere concert/documentary film A&E In Concert: Paul McCartney in Red Square, Thursday, September 18 at 9:00pm EST/PST.
On May 24, 2003, Paul McCartney’s critically acclaimed “Back In The World†Tour visited Russia. Despite the various rumours and tales, it marked the first time that he had set foot on Russian soil. Paul McCartney In Red Square is not only the story of that trip, but is also the history behind a secret love affair that existed for decades between the Russian people and McCartney. Paul McCartney In Red Square will tell their story, in their words, of how, without knowing, one man helped shape a sociological and cultural future for an entire nation.
Paul McCartney In Red Square is highlighted with music from the nearly three-hour live concert, which took place in Moscow’s Red Square. Nearly 100,000 people, including President Putin and former President Gorbachev, turned out for the historic event and the 26- camera production team captured every moment. From the opening bars of “Hello, Goodbye†to “Band On The Run†to “Back In The USSR†and “Hey Jude†the show was a concert event not to be missed.
Cameras were rolling as McCartney’s three-day whirlwind trip to Russia was chronicled. Paul McCartney In Red Square will include conversations with respected members of the Russian cultural community, as well as footage shot during McCartney’s visit to St. Petersburg, where he received an honorary doctorate from the esteemed Russian Conservatoire and dedicated a building for the future advancement of the arts for Russia’s youth.
Paul McCartney In Red Square is directed by Mark Haefeli. Contributing Editor is Sir David Frost. Music Producer is David Kahne. Director Of Photography is Craig Braden. A&E Executive Producer is Delia Fine. A&E Producer is Emilio Nunez.
