Some songs from this concert appear on:

From The Beatles Monthly Book N°263, March 1998:

Paul McCartney has contributed a video message to an American TV tribute to Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who remains paralysed after a horse-riding injury. In keeping with the style of recent performances of songs from Flaming Pie, Paul sent a new version of himself singing ‘Calico Skies’ to what has been described as a ‘geometric backdrop’. Christopher Reeve: A Celebration Of Hope was due to be aired on ABC TV on 1st March, with additional contributions from Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and Robin Williams.
