BRIAN RAY TO VISIT CAMP McCARTNEY: Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray will visit Andre Gardner's Camp McCartney in Philadelphia outside the city's Wells Fargo Center, the site of Saturday and Sunday's two Paul McCartney concerts, at about 3 p.m. ET today. "He'll be on live with me at around 3:20 p.m. ET, and we're also going to pre-tape a more in-depth interview to air tomorrow morning at around 8:05 a.m. on "Breakfast With The Beatles," Gardner told us. Camp McCartney, which is collecting can goods to be donated to those in need, is located right by Fan Gear on the Broad Street side of the Wells Fargo Center. Good work, Andre!

INSTANT CONCERN: Those track listings we posted for the John Lennon remasters box sets from HMV in Japan were not released by EMI and have caused some concern within EMI. We're told, however, they are correct.

REMEMBERING WINGS: We published the conclusion of our interview with Denny Seiwell yesterday. Thanks to Denny and Mark Lapidos of the Fest for helping make that happen. We hope you enjoyed it.

THE BEATLES IN CLEVELAND: On this date in 1966, the Beatles concert in Cleveland was interrupted for half an hour when 2,500 fans stormed the field. The YouTube clip below features Dave Schwensen, author of "The Beatles in Cleveland," talking about the group's two shows there in '64 and '66. The clip includes some rare footage, too.
