Six months after the terrorist attack, McCartney performed ‘The Concert for New York City’ in New York. This DVD captured the post events of the attack and lead up to the concert.

“It was an honour to be able to help New York and America at that time in its history,” said McCartney of the concert. “There was a feeling of shock and fear in the air that I thought we could help alleviate with music and the fact that so many people stepped up to join us made for a very uplifting evening for us all.”

The film, directed by Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter) and Bradley Kaplan, was shot in black and white on 16mm film.

The movie features appearances from Bill Clinton, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow, Harrison Ford and Jay-Z.

Shock will release ‘The Love You Make’ on December 2, 2011.

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
