Wide Prairie

Following Linda’s death, Paul released the album ‘Wide Prairie’ by her, and although she wasn’t the greatest of singers, her quirky songs and unique style make one wish she’d released more in her lifetime. Seen here in an animated video, ‘Wide Prairie’ (the single), was recorded as far back as 1973/1974, and got to No. 74 in the UK charts.

The Light Comes From Within

‘The Light Comes From Within’ was recorded by Linda on 18-03-98, just a month before her death, and when released as a No. 56 UK hit single it was accompanied by this animated video.

The White Coated Man

A more serious song than most of her recordings, ‘A White Coated Man’ is about vivisection. The video (featuring a white coated woman), only circulates in incomplete form, as does the next song.

Shadow Cycle

Heard in another (incomplete) animated film, this song is an instrumental.

Appaloosa Love

Not released until 1998, the song actually dates from 10 years earlier, as does the video of Linda riding horses.

15-03-99 – ‘The 14th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony’ The Waldorf-Astoria, New York (USA)

Blue Suede Shoes / What’d I Say / Let It Be [with Eric Clapton, Robbie Robertson, Bonnie Raitt, Billy Joel, Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and others]

Paul kept a low profile for almost a year after Linda’s death, finally returning to perform for the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ ceremony, where he was also inducted as a solo performer. Unusually not playing any instruments, he is ably backed by an all-star band, and clearly enjoys himself. Incidentally, joining Paul for his induction speech is his daughter Stella, who wears a T-shirt with the slogan ‘About fucking time!’, though this is censored on all the telecasts and news reports.

18-04-99 – ‘Here, There and Everywhere: A Concert for Linda’ (UK)

Lonesome Town / All My Loving [with Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, Tom Jones, Neil Finn, George Michael, Sinead O’Connor and others]

Taped on 10-04-99 in London’s Royal Albert Hall, this tribute concert for Linda McCartney featured a variety of performers and well-wishers. Naturally closing the show, he first performed a moving version of Ricky Nelson’s ‘Lonesome Town’, then, joined by other performers on the show, played ‘All My Loving’ and ‘Let It Be’, though the latter wasn’t included in the TV broadcast.

07-09-99 – ‘Buddy Holly Week’, Roseland Ballroom, New York (USA)
