“The Space Within US” DVD released

From paulmccartney.com:

In 2005, Paul crossed America with his record-breaking, 36-date sold-out US tour in support of his Chaos And Creation In The Backyard album. Better than a front-row seat, this feature-length concert film released in 2006 takes viewers onto the stage and beyond, capturing Paul’s out-of-this-world live show which included a performance of ‘English Tea’ beamed straight to the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
