In Spite of All the Danger - Paul McCartney (Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road) video free download

Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road, recorded on 28 July 2005, was a live concert given by Paul McCartney at Abbey Road Studios, specifically Studio 2, where many of The Beatles' recordings were made.

Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road was meant as a promotion for McCartney's album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. As the audience was of close friends and selected fans, the concert was intimate in nature and was littered with monologues and song fragments.

McCartney plays left-handed and right-handed guitars, drums, harmonium, double bass, Mellotron, and even wine glasses in a reworking of Wings song "Band on the Run". He also reworks the Beatles' track "Lady Madonna", which he calls "Old Lady in New Clothes", with a much slower tempo and swung melody line.

The bass McCartney uses on his performance of "Heartbreak Hotel" once belonged to Bill Black, Elvis Presley's bass player who died in 1965.

Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road fue un concierto en vivo por Paul McCartney en los Estudios Abbey Road, específicamente en el Estudio 2, donde muchas de las grabaciones de The Beatles se llevaron a cabo. Se grabó el 28 de julio de 2005.

Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road se hizo con propósito de promocionar el álbum de McCartney, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. La audiencia se conformó por amigos íntimos y fans selectos , lo que dio un carácter intimista y natural y permitió a Paul charlar con el público, contando historias detrás de canciones y diversas anécdotas.

McCartney toca diversas guitarras, la batería, armonio, contrabajo, melotrón, y hasta copas de cristal en una adaptación de la canción de Wings "Band on the Run". También retrabaja sobre la canción de The Beatles "Lady Madonna", a la que llama "Old Lady in New Clothes", con un tempo mucho más lento y cambios en la línea melódica.

El bajo que McCartney usa en en "Heartbreak Hotel" le perteneció a Bill Black, bajista de Elvis Presley que murió en 1965. En "I've Got a Feeling", que aparece en el álbum de The Beatles de 1970 Let It Be, omite la sección ("Everybody Had A Hard Year") cantada por John Lennon en la grabación original.

In Spite of All the Danger is one of the first songs recorded by The Quarrymen, then composed of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, pianist John Lowe and drummer Colin Hanton.

The song was written by McCartney and Harrison, and is the only song to credit the two alone. It believed to have been recorded on Saturday 12 July 1958 (three days before Lennon's mother's death). However, that recording date is disputed by the group. The recording was made at Percy Phillips' home studio in Liverpool. It cost 17 shillings and six pence.

Only one copy of the "That'll Be the Day" and "In Spite of All the Danger" recordings was made, and each band member kept the acetate disc for a week. Lowe was the last to have it, keeping it for nearly 25 years. In 1981, Lowe attempted to sell it at auction, but McCartney intervened and purchased it from him. McCartney had engineers restore as much of the record's sound quality as possible and then made approximately 50 copies of the single that he gave as personal gifts to family and friends. In 2004, Record Collector magazine named the original pressing as the most valuable record in existence, estimating its worth at £100,000, with the 1981 copies made by McCartney coming in second on the list at £10,000 each.

In Spite of All the Danger es una de las primeras canciones grabadas por The Quarrymen, entonces compuesto por John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, el pianista John Lowe y el baterísta Colin Hanton.

La canción fue escrita por McCartney y Harrison, siendo esta la única que se les acredita juntos. Fue grabada en 1958 en el estudio casero de Percy Phillips en Liverpool, el que les cobró 17 chelines y 6 peniques. Junto con "That'll Be the Day" de Buddy Holly, ese día se grabaron otras canciones que más tarde serían interpretadas por The Beatles.

Se grabó solo una copia del sencillo, y cada uno la conservó por una semana, siendo Lowe el último en tenerla, quien la tuvo durante 25 años. En 1981, Lowe la intentó vender en una subasta, pero McCartney intervino y la adquirió por una suma desconocida. Luego de enviarla a restaurar, Paul grabó 50 copias, las que fueron repartidas entre amigos y familiares cercanos. En 2004, la revista Record Collector estimó el valor de la grabación original en £100.000, mientras las segundas copias de McCartney valen unas £10.000.
