Paul McCartney Shares Footage of ‘Live and Let Die’ Performed Live on His 2025 New Orleans Got Back Tour

New Video Release from New Orleans Concert

Paul McCartney has released a new live video of his performance of “Live and Let Die,” recorded during one of his two Got Back concerts at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans in October. The show included pyrotechnics that shot fire into the air and laser lights that swept across the audience.

The video drop came just a day after McCartney concluded the latest North American leg of his Got Back Tour in Chicago.

Song Background and Its Legacy

“Live and Let Die” was first released in 1973 by McCartney and his band Wings, as the theme song for the James Bond film of the same name. When it first came out, the track reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking a major hit in McCartney’s early solo career.

This song has long been a favorite in his live shows, and this new video offers fans a chance to see it again with huge stage production and a fresh performance energy.

Tour Details: Got Back 2025

McCartney began the 2025 Got Back tour on September 29 in Palm Desert, California. The tour included stops in many cities across the U.S. and Canada — and the New Orleans show was held at the Smoothie King Center on October 29.

After finishing the latest leg in Chicago, McCartney currently has no other shows listed on his schedule.

Why This Release Matters to Fans

The new video captures more than just a song — it shows a full live-show experience with fire, lights, and a huge crowd joining in. That kind of energy matches the original spirit of the 1973 release, but adds a modern concert atmosphere.

For longtime fans and newer listeners alike, seeing “Live and Let Die” performed now, decades after its first release, shows how enduring McCartney’s music remains.
