What happens

Paul Is Live is a live album by Paul McCartney, released in 1993 during the New World Tour in support of his studio album Off the Ground, released that same year. Paul Is Live contains live recordings of McCartney and his touring band—which at the time included his wife Linda and guitarist Robbie McIntosh—performing songs by McCartney's former bands the Beatles and Wings, as well as songs from his solo career. The tracks included on the album were recorded at various concerts during his New World Tour, in several American cities and in Australia. The title of Paul Is Live is a parody to the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory, and the album's cover artwork, which is based on that of the Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road, contains multiple references to the theory. Paul Is Live was McCartney's last live album for nine years, until the release of the double live album Back in the U.S., which coincided with his 2002 Driving World Tour. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
