Paul McCartney - Old Siam, Sir

[Beatlemania22099]

What is goin on at 1:28?

[weaselweasel]

@Beatlemania22099 That's Paul's adventure in Japan. He was imprisoned for having marihuana if I'm correct.

[Beatlemania22099]

@weaselweasel awe poor paul! and yes u r correct...i just wasnt sure...

[MrInt30h]

Amazing Song and wonderful beat/guitar play..Only Sir Paul Mccartney can do that.

the one and only time walthamstow is mentioned in a song 

[Spartacusten1]

I was lucky enough to go to the press launch of BTTE at Abbey Road studios with the band and their press officer, the late Tony Brainsby, and got completely drunk. I remember I signed an autograph for Linda .. she asked me to do it for her!

[canadaguy2112ca]

I bought this 45 at a garage sale. I paid 10 cents. Can't remember what was on the other side.

[berfariabrazil]

What are the lyrics talking about?

[eydie57]

i just looked up the lyrics. i think it's about a woman whose man left her and she went to all these places to try and find him, and in the middle of trying to find him fell in love with someone else, married him, but that didn't work out and she was left trying to find the man she was originally trying to find. at least that's my interpretation.

[canadaguy2112ca]

@eydie57 wow

[mloaks]

[HEV29]

You know that G string is always the worst to tune... PS: This is CLASS Good ol' Paul always turns up with the goods when u least expect it (check out 1985 and House of Wax) xxxx

[accordionreid]

I love Paul rocking on Old Siam Sir from Back to the egg sessions. Little Richard couldn't do it like Paul> fantastic!

[jigbuilda]

Stompin song! Macca could rock it out good if not better than all the rest :)

[geabely]

Paul could rock with the best them. Not a lot of people ever gave him credit for that. Killer song, great lyrics, a great bass beat and the perfect song for the album. Cheers Pual.

[onlyjoetee]

@geabely This guy is one of the greatest pure rockers in music history,what do you mean he wasnt given credit?he's had plenty of credit..LOL

[ryboy1974]

I love the way Macca's bass goes up and down to the beat in this video in the pic where hes dressed in the Sgt Peppers uniform. Great piece of editing.

[mccrabapple]

the live version of this is MONSTER heavy... or it may be Spin It On that I'm thinking of...

[beatleandy1]

I wanna hear, have you got it? where can i see it? I've seen a clip of Wings doing this live on a TV studio on Wingspan DVD.

[mccrabapple]

I'll be in the States for 10 days, so I'll be able to get to my CD's. I have a bootleg (audio)... it's a little muddy, but it's from the Back to the Egg tour. Then I'm off to South America, but if you send me a private message I might have time to dub it for you.

[RamOnPaulRamOn]

what bass does he play on the Junior's Farm and Ebony and Ivory videos? It is a rightie, black with white pickguard strung upside down. thanx in advance

[cesarmeral1982]

geniuss!!!!!

[goldenearthgirl1942]

One of my favourites from BTTE.

[JotheBytle]

Right. But in the last 10 years Paul use the Hofner again. He likes the sound and the little weight of this bassguitar.

[JotheBytle]

I love this song. Great. The Hofner Bass ist one of the best Bassguitars ever, and everyone think of Paul when he see this. My favourite Song from Back To The Egg

[venusNmars]

around this time he was playing the yamaha

[Robin1312]
