Paul McCartney’s PETA Millennium Concert for Party Animalsis a 68-minute look at working out which singers and Hollywood stars you aregoing to ignore for the rest of their working lives because they’re so wrappedup in vegetarianism and saving the planet, which is obviously affecting theirability to perform and make any new decent output.

Don’t get me wrong. I do like animals, used to have a dog and now have two cats,but I also love a good kebab and wear a leather jacket and nothing will makeme stop doing that, however many people come on stage and tell me how theanimals are put to death by the uncaring ones who kill them. I’m certainly notgoing to relay the messages given in this concert to my friends since they’dsend me to Coventry.

The whole affair runs a disappointing 68 minutes so it’s obviously been heavilyedited down, but I hope all the music still remained. Sarah McLachlansings Angel, most recently covered by Westlife, the B-52sperform Love Shack, Roam and Rock Lobster, Chrissie Hyndedrops in for I’ll Stand By You and Paul McCartney, who hoststhe event, ends the gig with Run Devil Run as well as a few othernumbers along the way.

The full list of tracks are included below, but the songs begin at track 6,before jumping to No.9 onwards. Before that is various PETA bits and pieces,stand-up routines from Ellen and Margaret Cho which might befunny if you have the same frame of mind as the intended audience, as well asa “salute” to Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in from the 70s, as long as you’reold enough to remember it and find it humourous.

At the end Alicia Silverstone says “We don’t need animals to survive”.Well, Alicia, yes we do and they taste great and, to quote the late greatTroy McClure, “if a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone youever cared about!”
