Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road, recorded July 28 2005, was a live concert given by Paul McCartney at Abbey Road Studios, specifically Studio 2, where many Beatles recordings were made. It was meant as a promotion for McCartney's album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. As the audience was of close friends and selected fans, the concert was intimate in nature and was littered with monologues and song fragments. McCartney also plays left-handed and right-handed guitars, drums, harmonium, double bass, Mellotron, and even wine glasses in a reworking of Wings song "Band on the Run". He also reworks Beatles track "Lady Madonna", which he calls "Old Lady in New Clothes", with a much slower tempo and a swung melody line. His performance of Lennon-McCartney song "I've Got a Feeling", which originally appeared on The Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be, is notable as he misses out the section sung by John Lennon on the original recording.
