![]() McCartney noted in 2014, “A couple of years ago, I kind of looked at them and said: ‘You know what guys? We’re a band. The current incarnation has been together longer than any of McCartney's other bands, including The Beatles and Wings. In 2010, they played together at the White House when McCartney received the Gershwin Prize from President Barack Obama. The lineup returned to the Super Bowl for McCartney's halftime show in 2005. They appear on the live albums and DVDs Back in the U.S., Back in the World Live, Paul McCartney in Red Square, The Space Within US, Good Evening New York City, and Live in Los Angeles, the latter with David Arch filling in for Wickens. The quintet has also been the backbone of two decades of world tours. We surprise each other - and even if it's like, 'I didn’t know you were going to do that,' we can all follow it. They know what I'm going to do, I know what they are going to do. McCartney credits the band's familiarity for their continued cohesiveness. ![]() Anderson and Laboriel also appeared on one track of McCartney III, an album on which all instruments other than theirs were played by McCartney himself. Memory Almost Full returned Wickens to the lineup. After being recruited one day before McCartney performed " Freedom" at Super Bowl XXXVI, Ray joined the band on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. Driving Rain featured Anderson and Laboriel. Īfter Linda McCartney died in 1998, McCartney began to coalesce a new band on his next few albums. This lineup played on McCartney's studio albums Flowers in the Dirt and Off the Ground and the live albums Tripping the Live Fantastic, Unplugged (The Official Bootleg), and Paul Is Live. Wickens' former collaborator in Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, drummer Chris Whitten, also featured early in this lineup. The former band, active from 1989 to 1993 with occasional appearances thereafter, included his wife Linda McCartney on vocals and keyboards, Hamish Stuart on guitar and bass, Wickens on keyboards, and former Pretenders Robbie McIntosh and Blair Cunningham on guitar and drums respectively. McCartney has had only two significant incarnations of a backing band since the breakup of Paul McCartney and Wings in 1981.
