'''''Tripping the Live Fantastic''''' is [[Paul McCartney]]'s first official live album and his first release of concert material since [[Wings (band)|Wings]]' 1976 ''[[Wings over America]]'' live package.  It was released in 1990 as triple LP, double cassette and double CD.

A document of the huge success of The Paul McCartney World Tour, ''Tripping the Live Fantastic'' encompasses McCartney's entire musical career from his famed [[Beatles]] hits to his recent hit album, ''[[Flowers in the Dirt]]'', while also including some unique covers.  Interspersed throughout the package are occasional [[soundcheck]] recordings as well.

Although some critics have described the album as being overly polished and slick, ''Tripping the Live Fantastic'' is still considered a generous and enjoyable memento from McCartney's first world tour in over a decade.

Despite reversing the famed [[Lennon-McCartney]] credits on ''Wings over America'', McCartney left the credits for his Beatles songs contained on ''Tripping the Live Fantastic'' in their original form.

''Tripping the Live Fantastic'' reached #16 in the UK and #26 in the US.  It was also simultaneously released in an abridged form, entitled ''[[Tripping the Live Fantastic: Highlights!]]''.

* This album spawned a few singles which contained live B-Sides from this tour. These B-sides were live songs that weren't featured on the live album, which made the singles collectors items.  A VHS concert film was also released entitled, "Get Back."  The film was directed by [[Richard Lester]].

* The [[Disney Channel]] filmed, "Paul McCartney" Coming Home during this period.  The show highlights Paul's return to Liverpool where he played a one time tribute to John Lennon.  This tribute is featured as a B-Side on the single for, "All My Trials." Paul played Strawberry Fields, Help, and Give Peace a Chance.

* Another VHS film was released titled, "Paul McCartney: Put it There."  The film featured Paul and his band rehearsing for the tour.

==Title==
The title is an allusion to the phrase "[[Trip the light fantastic (phrase)|tripping the light fantastic]]", meaning to dance or move to musical accompaniment, originally from the poem ''[[L'Allegro]]'' by [[John Milton]].
