He may have made a few of the wrong sort of headlines of late, but there's no mistaking the enduring affection that Paul McCartney inspires. This great concert comes from Sir Paul's historic first ever trip to Russia in 2003. Under Soviet rule, The Beatles' music had been banned as the epitome of Western decadence, but judging by the audience's ecstatic reaction to his performance of the Beatles' back catalogue, his solo works and Wings hits, the music proved triumphant in the end.

On May 24, 2003. Paul McCartney's critically acclaimed Back in the World tour visited Russia. This film features highlights from the 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. From the opening bars of Hello Goodbye and Band on the Run to Back in The USSR and Hey Jude, the show was a concert event not to be missed.

In addition, the cameras also followed McCartney's three day whirlwind trip to Russia, recording conversations with members of the Russian cultural community, as his visit to St Petersberg, where he received an honorary doctorate from the esteemed Russian Concervatoire and dedicated a building for the future advancement of the arts for Russian youth.
