Pure McCartney is a live DVD/CD and DVD/2-LP album by singer-songwriters Tim Christensen, Mike Viola, and Tracy Bonham, with the band The Damn Crystals, released in 2013.

Overview

Pure McCartney contains a recording of a one-off tribute concert at Vega in Copenhagen in celebration of Sir Paul McCartney's 70th birthday that day.[1]

Bassist Søren Koch of Dizzy Mizz Lizzy once saw Viola play in New York, and thought that he had a strong musical match with Christensen, so he introduced them.[2] Christensen and Viola found out that the 1971 McCartney album Ram is their mutual favorite album,[3] so that it became the heart of the set list alongside several other post-Beatles songs.[4] Vega's large concert hall, with a capacity of 1500, was sold out.[5] The artwork was inspired by Ram.

Noel Gallagher was planned to become a surprised guest.[2] Christensen and Gallagher appeared on Danish television, where they were competing in a small quiz about The Beatles. They got along well with each other backstage and also talked about the McCartney concert, but they never heard back from Gallagher's manager since.[2]
