Earlier this year Paul McCartney made history when he performed the last concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park, the very same stadium that saw The Beatles last public concert 48 years ago, almost to the day.
A new app launched today by Jaunt allows fans to relive the magic of that night-more accurately experience it for the first time in a completely immersive 360-degree virtual environment offering access to Paul McCartney like never before: the Jaunt VR app puts you right there in the crowd, onstage, backstage, or even right by Paul's side in the midst of the climactic pyro, as he performs "Live and Let Die" live at Candlestick. In addition to his obviously peerless status as a musical legend and fearless innovator, Paul McCartney has never stopped looking for new and interesting ways to reach audiences, from his work on this year's single biggest entertainment release, the video game "Destiny," to this collaboration with Jaunt enabling fans to experience his music and live performance in a previously unimaginable new way. Jaunt, the technology company behind the app, is building the hardware and software to make truly immersive cinematic VR possible. This special footage of the world's revered musician marks the launch of their first publicly available content. Jaunt is making this revolutionary experience freely available for consumers to download and view for the first time. The content is available now through Jaunt's app on Google Play for Google Cardboard and Android Phones, and will be coming soon to Samsung's Gear VR and the Oculus Rift.Consumers can now download Jaunt's cinematic VR recording of Paul's "Live and Let Die" for Google Play.
