PAUL McCARTNEY
Inglewood 1989 [Mike Millard Master Tapes via JEMS, 2CD]
The Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone Tapes Volume 133. Live at The Forum, Inglewood, CA; November 23, 1989. Very good audience recording.
Thanks to Mike Millard; Rob, Jim R; Barry G; JEMS; BK; Goody; and mjk5510 for sharing the show at The Traders’ Den.

- Maybe I’m Amazed: first few notes cut
Welcome to JEMS’ Lost and Found Mike the MICrophone series presenting recordings made by legendary taper Mike Millard, AKA Mike the MICrophone, best known for his masters of Led Zeppelin done in and around Los Angeles circa 1975-77.
Until 2020, the Lost and Found series presented fresh transfers of previously unavailable first-generation copies made by Mike himself for friends like Stan Gutoski of JEMS, Jim R, Bill C. and Barry G. These sources were upgrades to circulating copies and in most instances marked the only time verified first generation Millard sources had been directly digitized in the torrent era.
That all changed with the discovery of many of Mike Millard’s original master tapes.
Yes, you read that correctly, Mike Millard’s master cassettes, long rumored to be destroyed or lost, have been found. Not all of them but many, and with them a much more complete picture has emerged of what Millard recorded between his first show in late 1973 and his last in early 1992.
The reason the rediscovery of his master tapes is such a revelation is that we’ve been told for decades they were gone. Internet myths suggest Millard destroyed his master tapes before taking his own life, an imprudent detail likely concocted based on the assumption that because his master tapes never surfaced and Mike’s mental state was troubled he would do something rash WITH HIS LIFE’S WORK. There’s also a version of the story where Mike’s family dumps the tapes after he dies. Why would they do that?
The truth is Mike’s masters remained in his bedroom for many years after his death in 1994. We know at least a few of Millard’s friends and acquaintances contacted his mother Lia inquiring about the tapes at the time to no avail. But in the early 2000s, longtime Millard friend Rob S was the one she knew and trusted enough to preserve Mike’s work.

Paul McCartney - The Forum, Inglewood, CA; Novembrer 23, 1989
Given Beatle Paul is about to hit the road again at the ripe old age of 79, it seemed a good time to revisit the last of Mike Millard’s McCartney recordings. This Forum show was opening night of Macca’s first US tour since Wings Over America in 1976. Needless to say anticipation was extremely high to see a Beatle doing Beatles songs.
Paul played five nights at the Forum all told, and we’ve previously released Millard’s capture from the last Inglewood concert on November 29 (Vol. 43 of the Lost and Found series). Of course Mike the Mike also famously recorded McCartney on the aforementioned Wings Over America tour on June 23, 1976 (Vol. 61).
As Jim R wrote in the notes for Vol. 43, “Seeing a Beatle is on another level compared to most acts. There is a constant feeling that you are witnessing history in the making. Hearing songs from your teens. Need I say more?”
I saw this tour in Seattle a year later and had much the same feeling, albeit in the severely sound-quality challenged Kingdome (may she rest in peace) where I just so happened to be seated next to Nancy Wilson of Heart. For opening night Mike sat on the main floor in the 12th row, ideal for recording.
Macca had already toured Europe earlier in the year and was in fine form for opening night in SoCal, so much so that the performance of “Sgt. Pepper” from the show was included on the live album Tripping The Live Fantastic, hence its omission here. If you want the full show intact, Try That Different website.
As has been the case on all modern McCartney tours, the setlist is generous, packed with great Beatles songs and solo material. The explosions in “Live And Let Die” popped Mike’s meters, but other than that he makes an excellent recording of an excellent performance.
+ + + + +
JEMS is proud to partner with Rob, Jim R, Ed F, Barry G and many others to release Millard’s historic recordings and to help set the record straight about the man himself.
We can’t thank Rob enough for reconnecting with Jim and putting his trust in our Millard reissue campaign. He kept Mike’s precious tapes under wraps for two decades, but once Rob learned of our methods and stewardship, he agreed to contribute the Millard DATs and cassettes to the program. Our releases would not be nearly as compelling without Jim’s memories, photos and other background contributions. As many of you have noted, the stories offer an entertaining complement to Mike’s incredible audio documents.
As always, thanks to the extended JEMS family for their support, notably Professor Goody, who made sure the pitch was optimized and mjk5510 who gives each week’s release a nifty cover for you old school CD burning types.
Finally, here’s to the late, great Mike the MICrophone. His work never ceases to impress. May he rest in peace.

Saw Paul first on this tour of the US, at Veterans Stadium. One of the most spectacular concerts of my life, a urprise birthday present from my first wife. Pure magic. And in two weeks I’ll see him again in Orlando for what will likely be the final time in Florida. The man’s music deeply affected my life, and Flowers in the Dirt (which he was promoting with this tour) was among his best. Thanks, Big O, for this historic show.
By Tony on May 17, 2022
I agree Tony, I, too, saw thus show “Tripping the Live Fantastic” in Cleveland & also Philadelphia. They were memorable shows any way one looks at it. I’m so glad I took the time, spent the cash, did some driving , and got to see Beatle Paul.
The Greatest
Thanks

Replacement theory baselessly holds that a cabal of Jewish people and Democratic elites are plotting to “replace” white Americans with people of color through immigration policies, higher birth rates and other social transformations. The idea circulated on the far-right fringes before moving to the mainstream of conservative media.

Anti , the Rondo comment was probably the real you . The otters were name stealers I believe. Hebrew Mark probably
By HHH on May 18, 2022
You’re right , another black ape athlete going off on a woman , probably a white mudshark whore who loves black dik. The kids are probably kinky haired mongrels
By HHH on May 18, 2022
Replacement theory is real , and it’s already happened. You can hardly see a white face anymore in public. Whites like myself are staying home much more to avoid these inbred Hispanics and black apes that are everywhere these days . Many of the illegals can’t speak English
By HHH on May 18, 2022
The corpse Joe Blow Biden has sold out to the far left socialists and liberals who want to change the demographics of America. This is to insure more democratic votes and more control
By HHH on May 18, 2022
Right on hhh. Whites are staying home . I’m sick of feeling like a foreigner in my own country. Niggers , Mexicans, chinks , Arabs Muslims everywhere. I’m sick of this shit , but what can you do?
By Nelson on May 18, 2022
Hey triple I didn’t know otters could name steal. What’s the deal there then?
By Nelson on May 18, 2022
I blow corpses. It’s not as fun as blowing the living
By HHH on May 18, 2022
Lazy stupid whites like me can’t keep jobs anymore just because we’re white . I’ve been replaced by people who aren’t stupid ignorant white trash.
Walking around on the job with shit in my pants doesn’t help either
By HHH on May 18, 2022
H- I’m on welfare in my trailer with the broken down ‘87 Firebird with the puking chicken on the hood on cinder blocks in my front yard. I’m sick of working , I want free handouts from the gubmint. I’m a lazy asshole , white privilege is gone , everyone wants us to work hard now , fuck that shit.
By Nelson on May 18, 2022
I gots such a raging hardon Nelson, how bout you wrap your hillbilly mouth around it. I fucked your trailer trash mother last nite and she smelled something awful. First time I wore a gas mask fuckin a twat
By Derrick on May 18, 2022
HHH, same shit from your toothless mouth every day bout the coons and how whitey is being fucked up the ss. Its bout time the niggers receive reparations for what we did to the. The only dicheaads that will agree with me is whopper swapper and mark the hebrew. Anti is a lost cause s he hates the fuckin Jews. I cant blame him
By Derrick on May 18, 2022
DAYUM Derrick you sure know how to sweet talk a toothless hillbilly! I’ll be gumming your rager for at least two hours straight!!
You weren’t fucking my mom , you were so drunk on grain alcohol YOU WERE FUCKING MY SHITTY ASS!! Why else would it smell so bad??

By Nelson on May 18, 2022
Well Nelson, since Im not one to turn down a request, how bout you lick my shitty coc k so it stops smeling nd you caan have perrenial shit breath
By Derrick on May 19, 2022
Who the fuck cares to hear about some washed up groupie pig that got laid years ago. We dont give a flying fuck. We only care about young boys getting ass fucked or blowing animals

Reave up to me. I know how to give good head and suckee suckee. My leal name is Lobert Wang.
By Won Hung Low on May 19, 2022
Anti , Derrick, Nelson ( the real ones ) this site has turned into a name stealers shit hole , just like everything else in this inbred black ape , Hispanic, liberal, socialist world , all controlled by the Soros led jew takeover. This is the real me
By HHH on May 23, 2022
And to think Soros as a kid just missed being thrown into one of Adolfs ovens . Who would have known that mistake would one day destroy America
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Title 42 is kept in place by a court order , preventing even more black ape and other dark skinned inbred rapists , child molesters, cartel members and fentanyl from entering for the time being. But it’s like a band aid on a severed artery
By HHH on May 23, 2022
The liberal prosecutor’s and judges sympathize with these foreigners mostly who are inbred these days , similar to most cats in a ferel colony
By HHH on May 23, 2022
I’ve been laying low too hhh , these assholes are signing my name too now . Probably two or three people. I feel what you’re saying. I hardly ever go anywhere with these Joe Biden gas prices through the roof
By Nelson on May 23, 2022
Used to like to take the family shopping at thrift shops for bargains. No more . Took the wife and grandson to goodwill yesterday, they have a Chinese buffet restaurant next door . The whole parking lot was like the Mexican border , spicks and niggers everywhere. You could tell they weren’t from here cause none were talking English. Filth and trash all over the parking lot . Saw a man taking a shit next to a car . In the store it was bad , they were everywhere. No whites in sight . They had the sense to stay away . That’s what Biden and the liberals are doing to this country.
By Nelson on May 23, 2022
There won’t be any white people left in a few years . These white women keep breeding with these animals
By Nelson on May 23, 2022
Nice to hear from you Nelson, Anti , Derrick ( real ones ) are you guys still around?
By HHH on May 23, 2022
It’s replacement theory Nelson , The Soros led jew filth movement has installed liberal judges , prosecutors, political leaders from dementia Joe Biden on down as a way to gradually eliminate the white race . The open borders is just a way to have more dark skinned inbreds who will vote Democrat
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Dementia Joe is just a figurehead being controlled by Soros and his minions/ flunkies like AOC , Towelhead Omar and the rest of the squad, as well as Cackling Kamala , Pelosi and Chuckie Wuckie Schumer
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Throw in liberal judges and prosecutors like that piece of shit in LA George Gascon who believe in no jail for murderers and allowing random shoplifting and there goes the country
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Governors like Gavin Newsom In California recently suspended all executions. That means murderers and child rapists like David Westerfield and Scott Peterson won’t see the needle . Not only that , they may eventually be released
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Life in prison without parole has become a joke . Arthur Bremer who shot and paralyzed that great American George Wallace in 72 was released in 07. John Hinckley who shot Reagan and paralyzed James Brady , also released, could Mark David Chapman be next ?
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Gavin Newsom was set to release Sirhan Sirhan , only an outcry from some of RFKs kids and grandchildren kept it from happening at least for now
By HHH on May 23, 2022
Gary Ridgeway , the Green River killer also could be released, also child murderer rapist Ward Weaver , the list is endless. That’s Dementia Joe Biden’s America
By HHH on May 23, 2022
I is still around wondering who rattled your cage today triple. Then Nelson follows on .
By Derrick on May 23, 2022
It’s hopeless anti , Derrick , Nelson, we’re all doomed I’m afraid. If and when true Americans take the country back , the damage will be irreversible. The country is almost third world already. We have 3 more years of the corpse and his puppet masters and mistresses
By HHH on May 23, 2022
White people are staying home h , that’s why you see mostly niggers , mexicans Muslims etc . They’ve taken over the streets Folks don’t want to leave home anymore. I used to like restaurants, movies etc . No more .
By Confederate Bob on May 23, 2022
I’m really worried about this new virus that is starting up - Monkeypox. I don’t want to get this.
By HHH on May 23, 2022
You can’t go anywhere these days without seeing some nigger man with a white girl and a mixed kid . Makes me want to throw up, so mostly we stay home cept when we absolutely have to leave
By Confederate Bob on May 23, 2022
The rich far left liberal socialists elites don’t want this filth in their neighborhoods / gated communities etc . They want to inflict them on everyone else . AOC hob knobs with celebrities and rich people. It’s all about using these degenerates to maintain power
By HHH on May 23, 2022
No one wants me in their neighborhoods. I inflict myself on others wherever I go. I hob nob with dullards like Anti Nelson U and DD. We’re degenerates with no power
By HHH on May 24, 2022
White trash like me stay home and jack off to interracial online porn. Makes me want to throw up because I’ll never have a dik that big or fuck women like that. I blame my shitty worthless life on everyone except me.
By Redneck Knob Bobbler Bob on May 24, 2022
My great grandfather was a German Shepherd. My mother was a whore who liked to fuck gerbils. You dudes are in a totally different class of
