Paul McCartney concert chronology

The US Tour was Paul McCartney's third North American concert tour of the 21st century. This was in promotion of 2005's Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard. Rusty Anderson, Brian Ray, Paul "Wix" Wickens, and Abe Laboriel Jr. returned as the backing band, the first to fully remain intact for more than one solo McCartney tour, following the previous year's summer jaunt in the UK. McCartney's then-wife Heather Mills and their daughter, Beatrice, accompanied him on the tour and were in the audience every night.
'US' refers to us and the U.S.
No official audio release chronicling this tour materialised, though a TV special and subsequent DVD The Space Within US, aired on the A&E Network. Lexus and Fidelity Investments were major sponsors of the tour.
Remixes of Twin Freaks tracks played by DJ Freelance Hellraiser and a short film opened each show.
