Live from Capitol Studios, It’s Paul McCartney! After Getting Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame Today at 2pm PST In Front of Famed LA Landmark, Free Worldwide Live Streaming Performance Takes Place at 7, Exclusively On iTunes
Paul will commemorate the release of his new album Kisses On The Bottom (out February 7 on Hear Music/Concord) with a once in a lifetime free streaming performance taking place live at 7:00 p.m. PST Thursday 9th February, from the famed Capitol Studios where much of the new album was created. Fans can watch the intimate concert through iTunes on their Mac or PC.

Kisses On The Bottom is a collection of standards Paul grew up listening to, as well as two brand new McCartney compositions “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts” (which feature guest turns, respectively, from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder). Recorded with the aid of Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band—who will back Paul for the Capitol live stream event—Kisses On The Bottom is a deeply personal journey through songs that, in some cases, a young Paul first heard his father perform on the family piano.

The February 9th Capitol Studios streaming event will be the first time ever that the reverent and adventurous performances of Kisses On The Bottom will be brought to life in a live setting.
If you are in LA today, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the former Beatle and Wingsman during the 2pm Star ceremony, but you better come early because you know there’ll be a mob for the ex-Moptop! (The 7pm performance from inside Capitol Studios is, as far as we know, closed to the public.)

And today is only the start of Macca Weekend here in Los Angeles! Tomorrow, February 10, Paul will be honored as the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year with some of his fellow musical luminaries taking part in the annual tribute event. Then, to top it all off, McCartney (who turns 70 in June!) will be rocking the Grammy Awards itself this Sunday - whichyou can watch live on CBS (or, if you are one of the fortunate few with a ticket, you’ll watch really live at the Staples Center - this year’s Grammys venue).
