  • This wasnt released as a wings song Paul! It came out on Ram, which was credited to "Paul & Linda McCartney" And its almost as good as Heart of the Country, now thats a SICK song.

  • Does anyone else think its wierd that this song was written about John and yoko but he still does it all these years later

  • I LOVE PAUL SO MUCH!!!

  • Greatest Songwriter in human history...Sir Paul !

  • i was playing along to this and my fucking string broke.....MAN YOU ROCK PAUL!!!!!

  • Hey Paul, this is NOT a Wings song!! This was from Ram, which was credited to "Paul and Linda McCartney". Wings wasn't formed until the next album, called "Wild Life".

  • fake audio?

    was created a long time after... Macca decided to come back on stage... and that back was in 1972...

  • Is it just me, or or the background singers horrible?  I mean, for goodness sake's, this is Paul McCartney.... the best singer/songwriter ever! Paul, honeydoll, I could have done better! :)

  • HAPPY 40TH...RAM!

  • John himself said about the two songs (Too Many People and How Do You Sleep), Paul and I fine with it, we're fine with each other, so it doesn't much matter what anyone else thinks... Paul SHOULD play this song, and he SHOULD play Helter Skeleter, even though some crazies think the song belongs to Charles Manson now..

  • Paul is a World Treasure!! To see him live, is to see THE best.....walking away feeling so freaking good:-) Many more years to come....

  • Truly Awesome conversion of 2 unrelated songs!!!

  • @scared08ph That's the stupidest comment ever. This song is pretty tame, and it's a great fucking song, so why shouldn't he play it? I'm sure John wouldn't have minded in the least. They both acknowledged that their little public spats were juvenile, but they produced some great music during that time. I hope Paul plays this song more often in concert. Just because John died doesn't make him some untouchable deity. Paul shouldn't have to cater to people who think he is.

  • I'm diggin' the drummers John Bonham-esque drum kit..... Plus, Paul pulled out a piece of the Abbey Road opus, and much to my delight.

  • so much awzomeness in one single person !!!!

  • I dont know why he says its for Wings fans.............it was on RAM which was pre-Wings!

  • @jd111358 The "Wings era" ran from 1971 to 1981, so even though "RAM" was not credited to PM & WIngs, they did play this song live quite often.

  • @saipanrick

    From what Paul says in his inter views the only line "you took your lucky break and broke it in two " was the only line directed at John. Not much of a stab is it?

  • He never tires out ! You go Paul! Love it !

  • Paul is dead. But he was brilliant.

  • He's a fucking genius

  • does anyone notice that the drummer adjust the time of the cymbal beat at 0:12 after paul said "three, four..."

    he was doing a little fast than the music time, and i guess that because of it paul didn't start singing together with the mates.

  • Paul.....keep on.......we will surely miss you when you are not here. I hope you live to 100

  • WTF is with the fat bald beardy drummer? I'm so creeped out! I'm locking my windows!!!

  • Nobody can compare this version of she came into the bathroom window with the beatles version preety much amazing

  • Oh I loved when She Came was played after this.

  • I love the look Paul shoots the guitarist at 0:25. It's as if he's saying "you know you just fucked that part up"...lol.

  • @gigisdad

    Ha, he messed up the whole guitar line in the beginning. "Ram" is probably my favorite Macca album.

  • 5:09 Wix playing guitar!!???

    Amazing =D

  • I like it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • GOD THIS MAN IS FUCKING AWSOME AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • @spidermanb101 Awesome, this man is fucking god!

  • 1 dislike???????

  • Esta cancion se la hizo como un ataque a su gran amigo y compañero del grupo, quien ya no esta mas desde hasce 30 años, y encima hoy en dia la sigue cantando.

    No escupas tanto para arriba que ya te va a caer.

  • Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and John Lennon would be proud.

  • @piggyfatt Yes, 2 shitty musicians and John Lennon.

  • @aledobretociastko Do you mean 1 shitty musician and Elvis/Lennon?

  • @MyfoodtastesIRONY Oh... ok. Elvis was great, too.

  • the best musician of all time

    el mejor musico de todos los tiempos

  • Piece of cake.

  • He looks so cute and adorable here, don't you think? And so HAPPY!

  • ¡Simplemente grande! Una vez dije que Macca podría estar jugando a las cartas como hace mucha gente que pasa de los 60, pero él sigue rockeando alrededor del mundo, todo debemos estar orgullosos de que haya un hombre como este en nuestro planeta.

    Simply great! I said once that Macca could be playing cards as many people over 60 do, but he's still rocking around the world, everybody should be proud of a man like this in our planet.

  • Alien, your F bombs make you sound like a 12 year old, or a brain dead bar guy.

  • If he wanted to sell out...Jenng Craif commercial featuring the line "Too Many people reaching for a Piece of Cake" LOL

  • its a drag, innit?

  • Totally tubular to the max!

    xoxo

    The Clarences

  • Genius. Genius. Genius.

  • Great, greater, greatest. Always having a good time with Paul.

  • this song doesnt make it "live"..i like ths song...but..some play better then others...good he took this out...

    he should consider "the night before" ...it rocks along well performed in concert

  • @StraightTwoDVD

    On the Space Within US Dvd this is really great..

  • This song wasn't an attack on John- Paul said he didn't intend to attack anyone with this song- just other songs.

  • Beatle attacks on one another began before they even broke up. Paul wrote "You Never Give Me Your Money" about the others (and their business disagreements involving Apple). Also, he wrote "Come and Get It" about similar business hassles. Although the Beatles did a recording of it (which was not released at the time), it was Badfinger that made the song well known.

  • This isn't a Wings song.. It's from the Ram album which was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney. The first Wings album was Wildlife.

  • @bobbyvox

    I was thinking the same thing.

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds good to me. This isn't a great song to begin with, but it was cool of him to do it for the Wings fans.

  • @chuckdee121 its not a Wings osng- It's form "Ram" by Paul and Linda McCartney- nobody else played on that album.

  • @4FabBEATLES a rose by any other name...;-)

  • @4FabBEATLES

    Actually there were outside musicians on that album. Denny Seiwell was recruited for drums, David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken on guitar, and Marvin Stamm was featured on flugel horn on Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.

  • mi cancion favorita!!!!!! cuando la escuche me quede sorprendido por su tesitura de voz........... too many people.....maccaroy, GUATEMALA

  • what great quality filming, so clear in picture and sound

  • Hope Yoko wasn't in the audience!

  • I hope she was, and had to listen to this. She was, and is an untalented free-loader, and a crazy bitch who needs to stop riding the coat-tails of john's accomplishments.

  • @buffalo123456789 I hope she was.

  • Rusty's making a LOT of goofs in this.

  • Bigger then Christ

  • HA!

    Epic! 

    WIN!

  • Oh my fucking god! What the fuck with this fucking man!? He fucking rocks ass! I've never seen someone like this live! He's 66 years old and he has a lot more energy than I do! I've tried playing with my band live more than 2 hours and I can't do it-we get tired! This is what I call a rocker...How can he resist the loud sound?? Even better this proves he doesn't use fake audio in order to sound better.

  • he's incredible.

  • @Alien8990 Unfortunately on his most recent live DVD, Good Evening New York City, for some reason or other it's coated in disgusting Auto-Tune. Ruins the performance unfortunately.

  • @Alien8990

    VEGETABLES!

  • @Alien8990 - Agreed. I went to his concert in 2002 - and his endurance amazed me.

  • @Alien8990 He's Paul McCartney, Darling... Enough said !!

  • great song -love him to play junoirs farm -backseat of my car-big barn bed-no words for my love-smile away......uncle albert but he won't

  • This song alludes to John Lennon's "lucky break" - meaning The Beatles, and how he subsequently "broke it in two."The lyrics, "Too many people preaching practices" is a direct reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. John thought other lines in the song were about him as well

  • I had read in a bio about Paul where he was quoted that the line about "your lucky break" and "preaching practices" was specifically about George Harrison. Paul got George into the Beatles, thus the lucky break, and George was known to rant on for hours about Indian religion and how you should live your life free from materialism and ego. John did write "How Do You Sleep" about Paul, and also had George playing the guitar on that track. It got a bit nasty for a while there, that's for sure.

  • @gearguitarguy

    George was basically condoning John's caustic attack by playing on "How Do You Sleep." He also wrote "Wah Wah" from All Things Must Pass about Paul after they had had an argument.

  • @gearguitarguy he said in an interview it was about john and yoko :)

  • Paul . Lo más grande .

    Tremenda canción !!!

    Desde Chile.

  • Wings fans? This is a Paul/Linda McCartney composition!

    He don't even know his own material?

  • You're right. This is pre-Wings.

  • From my personal fav album of all time! I think he may have been referring to the fact that when he played it live at the time it was performed by Wings!! It's all Good!

  • Also, no doubt, Paul had always seen himself and Linda as the core members of Wings even before the first Wings incarnation was a complete band.

  • @BlandBoy WINGS ERA!!

  • @BlandBoy sure it was when he was in wings, and paul was the main songwriter anyway, had a bit of a wings sound of it! they probably played it live a lot :)

  • @BlandBoy Wow i cant believe so many people thumbed up this comment?!? im what you would call a noob (gay saying but common) and even i know whats he's talking about. LOOK IT UP, the people of wings recorded ram with him but they were basically if not fully uncredited BUT im guessing they did such a good job that he decided to start a band with them (that last part was a guess but saying wings played on ram is not)

  • This song takes me right back to 1971 when it came out. I heard him play this at the Staples Center in 2005. Very strange chord progression...one a lesser songwriter could not have gotten away with. McCartney is blessed with increadible talent, but remember who gives that talent.

  • What a man.

    What a gig.

    Thanks.

  • What's good about live performances is that they aren't perfect. So many songs on CD are about clean, perfect performance. This is classic because it's McCartney bringing you into his backyard and singing you some songs. While this is a first-class production, sometimes there are "creaks" and I love it. Beautiful arrangements, and great performance by Paul et le band.

  • He sounds fine to me????

  • he sounds fine to me too..! ÖÜ

  • You so rarely, if ever, see him perform anything from Ram, live...he's ashamed of that album because it was attacked so much on release. In fact it was the best thing he did after The Beatles.

  • in ram. it is the first line up from wings with denny on drums paul. linda and denny lain..

    so it is like a the real first wings album.!

  • I love Paul to death but this song is from before Wings!!! It is from my fav album of all time RAM, which was credited to Paul & Linda McCartney. I will let you slide Paul!!

  • Why does he always do the very same moderations (and jokes)?

    And why does he pretend that this is a Wings song? It's from "Ram", which was a "Paul and Linda McCartney" album.

  • Because it is a Wings song....Denny Seiwell and Denny Laine play on the album as well.

    It is called a performance....you repeat what you do....there are cues for the folks on the staging that are necessary.

  • Well, I guess they know the set-list, so maybe he could do with some other "jokes" from time to time.

    You may consider it nitpicking, but, as I and others have pointed out: "Ram" is NOT a Wings album, thus NONE of it's tracks are WINGS-songs.

    I found it already weird when he put out "Wingspan" and put "No more lonely nights" and stuff on it instead of some cool Wings tracks...

  • If he did other "jokes", the timing is off. As I said before, it's a performance.  Look at "Ram" again...he's not playing drums (Seiwell is), Laine is also playing on the album. People belly ache about "Tug of War" yet Laine and Juber and Holly also play on that as well. Hence, it's a Wings album whether you like it or not. Facts are stubborn things.

  • I look at "Ram" again and I still see a McCartney record with session musicians who LATER became the first line-up of "Wings".

    I like "Tug of war" very much, like most other people, and I'm sure you wouldn't call that one a "Wings" album just because Laine and Juber and Holly are playing on it?

    Thanks for making my point.

  • I think it's quite a good joke personaly, I have loads of too many people videos, and on every one he says the same thing ('this is for the wings fans')
