Paul McCartney live on "Wetten, dass...?" - for the 3rd time - what an event. There isn't awfully much to report, except that the conversation with the host Thomas Gottschalk before the bet was a little strange, that the bet itself was embarrasing since it did not take place because of the weather conditions, and that Paul's "live" performance of "No Other Baby" was a little odd since it was mimed, and since the lead guitarrist was missing. Paul did not announce another world tour, if you've been waiting for that. No itchy nose either! ;-) He was on the show quite early since he had to leave immediately after his performance to be in Liverpool in time for his "Cavern Millenium Gig."
Here we have some video stills for you, with occasional annotations. Enjoy!

Matt Hurwitz tells us:
"Here are the current details regarding the broadcast and webcast of Paul's upcoming performance at The Cavern in Liverpool on Tuesday December 14, per MPL, The Cavern and EMI:
The show will begin around 8:00 or 8:30pm GMT. It will be broadcast live on the internet worldwide, and will air on British radio with a slight delay, and on British television the following evening.
[For those of us outside the UK, 8pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) = 3pm Eastern Time US = 12 noon Pacific Time US ]
Internet: http://www.msn.co.uk/cavern The webcast will begin at 8pm GMT, and continue live through til the end of the show (about 10:30pm GMT). 1/2 hour after the show has ended, EMI and MSN will make the program available for *ON DEMAND* viewing for the following 15 hours, after which it will no longer be available.
The webcast will offer both audio and video, and will be available live at 28.8 kbps and 56 kbps, while the On Demand feed will also be available at 80 kbps (handy for those with ISDN or a cable modem). It will be viewable using either RealPlayer or Windows MediaPlayer.
Anyone who has attempted to view live webcasts (particularly Paul's) has experienced the overload caused by the huge demand, often resulting in a "Net Congestion" message and not much else. While we all want to join Paul live to experience the event while it's happening, viewers might have a little better luck viewing the On Demand feed later in the day, if possible, since most of the world will be attempting to tune in live. That's up to the individual, of course.
Radio: The concert will be broadcast on Tuesday evening on BBC Radio 2 from 10:30pm to 12:00 midnight GMT. It will be hosted by Richard Allison
Television: The concert will be broadcast on BBC1 on Wednesday evening December 15 at 11:15pm
At present, there are no plans for broadcast outside the UK, either on radio or television.
Be sure and check Paul's official website, too, for any additional information as the show approaches: http://www.mplcommunications.com/mccartney "

Paul Videos on the Web
Paul's new video for "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" can be seen on the Web on Emimusic's site at www.emimusic.de. It had it's US TV premiere on VH1 on December 8.
If you haven't seen it yet, the video to "No Other Baby", as well as special interviews etc. are available on www.virginradio.com
Matt Hurwitz (of Good Day Sunshine magazine) describes the videos as follows:
"Brown-Eyed Handsome Man":
Features Paul leading a slowly growing mob of line-dancers. Starts off with a just four hip-looking folks, slowly joined by everyone from Rastafarians to California Highway Patrolmen! A pair of "dee-jays" run the show from the cab of a huge truck in the background. Paul plays guitar throughout, ending up with his venerable Hofner, and then leading the pack of dancers! Directed by David Leland"No Other Baby":
Much more subdued - Paul is seen alone in a rowboat, with just his guitar, singing "No Other Baby." With each verse his day moves along: from just strumming his guitar by daylight, then later by lantern and by the moon, then shaving (and singing) in the morning, and treating us to the song's lead, which he plays with his bare feet dangling in the water - sharks surrounding his boat! He rows past huge icebergs before rowing himself through a terrible storm. The film closes with Paul once again at peace, quietly sleeping in his boat with his guitar. Directed by Pedro Ramhanyi
