(2002)In 1993, Paul McCartney and his band embarked upon The New World Tour, spanning almost the entire year and almost the entire globe. The tour was intended to promote McCartney's album "Off the Ground". Despite having released three albums of live material in the space of the previous three years ("Tripping the Live Fantastic", "", and "Unplugged"), the tour was followed by "Paul is Live", consisting of material from The New World Tour. The release was not embraced by record-buyers, becoming McCartney's lowest-selling live album.

McCartney's touring band consisted of himself and wife Linda McCartney, Paul "Wix" Wickens, Blair Cunningham, Robbie McIntosh, and Hamish Stuart.
