Fan Accounts
The book includes no fewer than nineteen accounts of concerts kindly offered by fans. After reading these accounts, you really get an impression of what it was to have been there!
Unseen Photographs
Paul McCartney The World Tour 1989-90 includes several unreleased photographs, such as this; from the gig at Foxboro Stadium on the 24th of July 1990 by Charles F.Rosenay!!! and Daniel Levine:
Memorabilia

Interviews
The book ends with two interviews:
Malcolm Gerrie is one of the biggest names in UK music broadcasting. He was the executive producer of Channel 4’s The Tube, on which Paul McCartney appeared on many occasions in the 1980s. As the book begins with an examination of McCartney’s live work in the 1980s, Gerrie describes working with McCartney on The Tube and gives many fascinating insights into the UK music business.
Jonathon Porritt is without doubt, Britain’s most famous environmentalist. In 1989, he offered a four-page interview for the world tour programme. In 2022, he agreed to be interviewed again. I ask Porritt if, 33 years later, McCartney has achieved his mission to clean up the planet
