Update: I found Part 2 of One Hand Clapping!! I just watched it and it was great! Paul actually plays Ninteen Hundred Eighty Five live in the studio! It was great. I watched them both together and man....I think Paul was the best of all The Beatles. It was one great song after another. One Hand clapping gets two thumbs up from me.
We fall down, we get back up again. MACCAII wasn't the greatest. We still got a good single out of it--more than most bands can say. All the Greats had their time of uncertainty. Ever heard Sinatra doing 'Downtown' or 'Mrs. Robinson'? YINKS!! The greats can't all be great all of the time, sometimes there's a clam or two. Macca picked himself up quite nicely. Alot of good stuff, some, not so good, but who can be perfect? For those who question whatever, weigh the good stuff against the bad, and I'll give you odds that the good outweighs the bad.

The tracklist: Honey Hush Blackbird Calico Skies Honey Don't Celebration Welcome India Lady Madonna
"The Secret Website Show - REPORT by Mike Kovacich
The show started right off with a redition of "Honey Hush", one of the cover songs Paul did on "Run Devil Run" but this time Paul is on his Les Paul and does the 1st and 3rd lead guitar solos. Rusty does the 2nd lead solo and Brian is on bass. Wix and Abe are playing as well, in fact the whole band is performing the entire show. All camera shots are on the band as they are performing on-stage with the same setup of the tour. There is no audience what-so-ever.
After finishing Honey Hush, they go into a short version of some Jimmi Hendrix, "Foxy Lady", yes that's right, Paul on lead guitar.
Jumps right into a very upbeat version of "Blackbird" with the whole band. Audiences in Osaka were treated the next song and now we can see this performance as they did a great version of "Calico Skies". Paul goes back on his Les Paul doing "Honey Don't" a Carl Perkins song covered by The Beatles.
The next song was a wonderful surprise for me, and from the opening piano chords of Paul's piano, I immediately recognized it and was amazed. They performed a fantastic version of the instrumental "Celebration" from "Standing Stone" and the bootleg of 'The Rupert the Bear' unreleased soundtrack.
A kind of jam followed with a song I guess was called "Welcome" very similar to the Welcome song when you first enter to the secret website. Paul introduces Rusty, Wix, Abe, Brian and then himself as Paul Ramone.
Another previously unheard song called "India" was performed, this must have been from the Driving Rain sessions.
The final song they played was "Lady Madonna" with Thadeus Richard on clarinet. The middle was extended a bit for an extra solo. It is speculated that this "Secret Website Show" was recorded in New Orleans as Thadeus did go up and perform this song with the band.
All in all it was a sweatest little show as we got to hear tunes as advertised, "Never-Before-Seen Footage and Performances". As I said all songs were with the entire band and they were complete from start to finish. Thanks Paul, it was great, can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve."
