He encontrado este fantástico artículo de un magnífico trabajo y extraordinaria Gira de Paul en el año 1.991, lo he traducido, no muy bien, pero por lo menos algo si se entiende, ¡saludos!
 
Visita Unplugged de Paul McCartney 1991
En 2007, cuando Paul McCartney tocó en algunos conciertos improvisados ​​para promocionar su nuevo álbum, Memory Almost Full, los medios de comunicación comenzaron a llamarlo el "conciertos secretos" tour, olvidando que Pablo ya tenía una de sus giras anteriores apodado con ese nombre. El primer "conciertos secretos" Tour sucedió durante el verano de 1991.

8. Mayo de 1991: Zeleste, Barcelona, ​​España10. Mayo de 1991: The Mean Fiddler, Harlesden, Inglaterra5. Junio ​​de 1991: Teatro Tendo, Nápoles, Italia7. Junio ​​de 1991: Cornwall Coliseo, Saint Austell, Inglaterra19. Julio de 1991: Cliffs Pavilion, en Westcliff-on-Sea, Inglaterra24. Julio de 1991: Falkonerteatret, Copenhague, Dinamarca

Estos fueron conciertos improvisados ​​en los clubes en su mayoría pequeños, inspirado en el "MTV Unplugged", concierto de la televisión y el álbum posterior. Un concierto más en París, L'Olympia fue planeado, pero no se anunció. Se cancela cuando el padre de Linda McCartney, Lee Eastman, falleció durante el viaje. Pablo sintió que debía l'Olympia un concierto y, finalmente, volvió a jugar allí en 2007 en ese "otro" Secreto Tour de actuaciones.

En el Pabellón de Cliff, Paul y su banda de respaldo invitado el poeta Adrian Mitchell en el recital de sus poemas "Canción en el espacio", "Me gusta eso", "Tal vez puede superar el tiempo" y "Hot Pursuit". También agregó que "me gusta estar al lado del Mar" a su lista de temas.

Tuve el gran placer de asistir a un concierto en Copenhague, conduciendo a través de Suecia, con dos buenos amigos míos, y tomar el barco a través del estanque a Copenhague. Llegamos con un boleto, no entre los tres de nosotros, pero que esperaba para entrar, ya sea a través de Geoff Baker, publicista de Pablo, o con alguna ayuda del noruego representante de EMI.

Grandes recuerdos. Recuerdo estar sentado en el suelo en frente del escenario, esperando a que Pablo se encienda. Y esta es la forma que parecía:


Cuando llegué a casa, escribí una reseña sobre el concierto de Norwegian Wood, titulado "Dulce pequeño show en la ciudad". Y que la revisión tiene la distinción de ser el primer artículo se ha escrito de Norwegian Wood en una computadora. Todo lo anterior a que se había escrito en una máquina de escribir, pero me quedé después de las horas de trabajo y lo escribió en un equipo que acaba de instalar un procesador de textos. Pronto mordido por ese error, me fui a comprar un ordenador (PC una cosa 386sx compatible) ese mismo año.

Establecer la lista (no todas las canciones se realizaron en todas las localidades):Acoustic Set: "Mean Woman Blues", "Be-Bop-A-Lula", "We Can Work It Out", "San Francisco Bay Blues", "Every Night", "Here There And Everywhere", "Eso sería Algo "," Singing The Blues "," O Sole Mio "," Down to the River "," And I Love Her "," Ella es una mujer "," Lost My Little Girl "," Aint No Sunshine, "" Hi Heel Sneakers "," He Just Seen A Face "," El mundo está esperando la salida del sol "," Good Rockin 'Tonight "Ajuste eléctrico: "My Brave Face", "Twenty Flight Rock", "Band On The Run", "Ebony And Ivory", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Coming Up", "Get Back", "Long y Winding Road "," No es una vergüenza "," Let It Be "," No puedes comprar mi amor "," Sargento. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band ".Aquí está una lista de reproducción en YouTube de canciones capturadas de dos de esos conciertos, Copenhague e Italia, junto con algunas imágenes y una entrevista en Westcliff-on-Sea.

Paul McCartney's Unplugged Tour 1991


In 2007, when Paul McCartney played some impromptu concerts to promote his new album, Memory Almost Full, the media started calling it the "Secret Gigs" tour, forgetting that Paul already had one of his earlier tours dubbed by that name. The first "Secret Gigs" Tour happened during the summer of 1991.
Westcliff Ticket
  • 8. May 1991: Zeleste, Barcelona, Spain
  • 10. May 1991: The Mean Fiddler, Harlesden, England
  • 5. June 1991: Teatro Tendo, Naples, Italy
  • 7. June 1991: Cornwall Coliseum, Saint Austell, England
  • 19. July 1991: Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff-on-Sea, England
  • 24. July 1991: Falkonerteatret, Copenhagen, Denmark


    These were impromptu concerts at mostly smaller clubs, inspired by the "MTV Unplugged" TV concert and subsequent album. A further concert at Paris L'Olympia was planned, but not announced. It was cancelled when Linda McCartney's father, Lee Eastman, passed away during the tour. Paul felt that he owed l'Olympia a concert and eventually returned to play there in 2007 on that "other" Secret Gigs Tour.
    Bootleg LP from the Westcliff gig
    At Cliff's Pavillion, Paul and his band backed guest poet Adrian Mitchell on the recital of his poems "Song In Space," "I Like That Stuff," "Maybe May Time," and "Hot Pursuit". They also added "I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" to their set list.

    I had the great pleasure of attending the gig in Copenhagen, driving down through Sweden with two good friends of mine, and taking the boat across the pond to Copenhagen. We arrived with not one ticket between the three of us, but hoped to get in, either through Geoff Baker, Paul's publicist, or with some help from the norwegian EMI representative.

    It didn't work out that way, but I managed to buy a ticket from someone just before the gig started, and a few songs into the gig, my two friends also struck luck when a drunken swede with two tickets arrived, selling them both and then went back to the pub again! Great memories. I remember sitting on the floor in front of the stage, waiting for Paul to come on. And this is how that looked like:
    When I got home, I wrote a review about the concert for Norwegian Wood, entitled "Sweetest Little Show In Town". And that review has the distinction of being the first ever article written for Norwegian Wood on a computer. Everything prior to that had been written on a typewriter, but I stayed after hours at work and wrote it on a newly installed computer with a word processor. Soon bitten by that bug, I went out and bought a computer (a PC compatible 386sx thing) later that year.

    Set list (not all songs were performed in all locations):
    Acoustic Set: "Mean Woman Blues," "Be-Bop-A-Lula," "We Can Work It Out," "San Francisco Bay Blues," "Every Night," "Here There And Everywhere," "That Would Be Something," "Singing The Blues," "O Sole Mio," "Down To The River," "And I Love Her," "She's A Woman," "I Lost My Little Girl," "Ain't No Sunshine," "Hi Heel Sneakers," "I've Just Seen A Face," "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise," "Good Rockin' Tonight"
    Electric Set: "My Brave Face," "Twenty Flight Rock," "Band On The Run," "Ebony And Ivory," "I Saw Her Standing There," "Coming Up," "Get Back," "The Long And Winding Road," "Ain't That A Shame," "Let It Be," "Can't Buy Me Love," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
    Here's a YouTube playlist of songs captured from two of those concerts, Copenhagen and Italy, together with some footage and an interview from Westcliff-on-Sea.
