Paul McCartney in Red Square

Paul McCartney in Red Square is a live DVD produced and directed by Mark Haefeli starring Paul McCartney, released in June 2005. It is composed of footage taken during his concerts in Moscow's Red Square and St Petersburg's Palace Square. Songs from Beatles, Wings and solo albums are performed. Each song is interspersed with interviews regarding the Beatles' banning in the Soviet Union in the 1960s, and how fans had to spend large sums of money on buying records from the black market. The film also supports the fact that The Beatles were an impetus behind a social revolution, which led to the fall of communism in Russia.

gollark: What reactions? We should get umnikos to revote using [EXPUNGED].

gollark: Well, we could just leave you with permissions but tell you to never use them.
gollark: Wait, I have those permissions, and *LyricLy* frequently pings everyone and is unpunished for it.
