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.
This was the 1st and only concert played at Wiltern Theatre.
Written by Paul McCartney
Album Available on Live Archives Vol. 3 (1997-2001)
