Listen to What the Man Said - PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS

[kd5hms63]

Sir Paul McCartney is by far the greatest entertainer of this modern age!

[paulftw4life]

ive taken 3 quizzes in a row on random google sites all "what 60's rockstar are you" quizzez and ive gotten mccartney on them all. i feel acomplished...

[dirtbikechicka101]

Noticed how many people associated with Paul McCartney have died, attempted murder, terminally ill, and disappeared??? Spooky

[hutter2006]

6 people didn't listen to what the man said

[FLIAMH]

BUEN RECUERDO.....BEATLES POR SIEMPRE....WINGS POR SIEMPRE

[ProfDrMrWeedgood]

I missed the hustle by 2 days

[TheCritters89]

it might sound gay but i fuckin' love this man! best beatle!

[kja427]

Now 2 things are gone: The Kingdome, and Linda McCartney. I miss the latter, not so sure about the former. Nice tune, by the way.

[chicleclip]

que banda!

[jamesisoliviasdad]

how can anyone dislike this, perfect pop song, performance wise i think 1976 was mccartneys highest point, amazing now but this gig is off the scale

[ntcctruth]

A career spanning 50 years, more than 100 million singles sold, a billion more with the Beatles, Superbowl halftime, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, and practically invented Pop rock: Paul McCartney, King of Pop.

shake thy bun

[DJBoLtZ]

6 people are Friends with Yoko Ono

[StockCar24]

Probably the greatest songwriter ever. The only man to start poor and on strickly making and playing music made over a billion dollars.

[MrSpencerport]

@StockCar24 " The only man to start poor and on strickly making and playing music made over a billion dollars. " and overcame all the roadblocks that Government and Society had set up for him and maybe you should start to examine the roadblocks that Government and Society have set up for you. It's time you broke out of that bubble, don't you think ?

[cometandcupids]

Electrifying. Better than the album version.

[shortstop7777]

im 17 and love this song u cant not like it my dad showed it to me and i love it better then our generation music and i usally listen to jump music old ppl prob dont no what that is lol but i love these types of songs

[kmc15425]

This has to be my favorite song of his. I had only ever known the album version of this song (aka the slower version) until about a year ago, and this blew me away. Imagine how happy I was to finally discover this version on iTunes recently! There is no one like him and there never will be <3

[KenMrshll]

This was McCartney at the height of his power, performance-wise.

[brandtagain]

One of the best songs ever!

[BENJ1969]

The king of cool. How can you not love Paul?

[skyhawk2958]

Linda was great, Heather was a mistake.Thank you for the memories, Linda.

[jdmars011]

Paul liked to shake a bummmm....poor bastard is lost without his true love...Linda...

[sirwob]

I shook a bum as he suggested, it appears this homeless man doesn't like it

[snugtgb]

Never can get sick of Paul!

[TheDivsterman]

What is the name of that horn??????

[gupsnot]

@TheDivsterman

I do believe it's a Soprano Sax. Yes, that's right, not all saxophones are bent!  heheheh.

[mrJimCharles]

Are the backing vocals "fixed" on this?

[maximtrickett]

was this the man who wrote paperback writer and hey jude. Oh dear

[Tinc00lb3ans]

@maximtrickett

Fuck you.

[ember1257]

The guy i have a crush on likes Paul McCartney, now whenever i hear him sing i think of that guy :) it makes me happy ^^

[beatlesrevolution98]

you know we all wanna see Paul shake his bum :)

[Nigelxman1]

@beatlesrevolution98 K well not all of us but this is a really underrated song. :-)

[19680117]

I really do believe that this is love, and this is fine...so, we better listen to what the man said!

Great performance of the wind section, specially this guy of the clarinet, Thadeus

Richard (had to check the last name, I usually identify him as "Thadeus") Take it away, Thadeus! Great memories of this song, thanks a lot!

[MARANZAMENCHOV]

Paul is the genius...is better than john...200 times

[Loewenherzdolly]

Great title, Paul is a living legend, I love his music!

[hiro880106]

最高のメロディー・メーカー！！

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #41 song for '75. Hit #1 pop, #8 AC, in Billboard. How'd it do in the UK? God bless! RIP,Jimmy McCullough, and, the Lovely Linda.

[cdesvaz]

venus and mars one of mc cartney´s greatest albums. thanks 4 ever

[53498501]

Paul, the creator of Pop music

[jcutrone12]

wow that was awesome

[tommybass40]

I would've given my left nut to be at this show....even though I was only 11 in 1976, I was already a Beatle and Wings fanatic. Eventually saw Paul live years later.

Great performance here, love the speeded up tempo. Long live Paul!

[lterik4]

Some songs just take me back with so many memories and images, this is definitely one of them

[AnnieGotSuspendedMJ]

Love this song<3 More important though, I love this MAN. He's a living legend.

[MickeFamily]

Love this song. The tempo is too fast. Great bands often speed up the concert tempo so they can play their great songs within a reasonable amount of time. I wish they wouldn't do that. I'd rather here fewer songs at the normal tempo.

[panhead55]

looks like there are 5 dipshits that bothered to chime in.... next step is run into the nearest knife...

[84cruzazul]

PAUL MCCARTNEY YEA-YEEAAHHH

this performance is amazing i wish i can learn to play like him well doesnt every1 hahaha hes the best!!!

[kd5hms63]

Sir Paul McCartney--the Super King of Pop, Rock, and all other genre of music, the musician of all musicians!

[CoreyCLVN]

Michael Jackson tried to buy his crown and his lyrics, death found the pretender... Long live the king.

[MagicalMysteryTube]

The wonder of Sir Paul, baby... yea yea yea

[MardearribaStudio]

whos the drummer?

[yesiamize]

@MardearribaStudio Joe English

[MardearribaStudio]

@yesiamize Thanks!

[MickeFamily]

@MardearribaStudio. It looks like the drummer from CCR. But I don't think it is.

[99APardo]

i like to hear this song again and again

[99APardo]

a like to hear this song again and again etc

[STEVE25406]

I been screwing up all these years and it just occured that i always found my own way to go no matter what the man said.one of the funnest songs ever

[3CPNO]

miss kotas class in 76 she had huge fun bags and blond hair . this song was in my head staring at her , hee hee!

[Cuzntime]

I want to meet him so I can bow before him. There isnt even a close 2nd..

[84cruzazul]

hes awesome

hes amazing

hes the king

he is....PAUL MCCARTNEY!

[RJLKMRD]

Better than the studio version!

[nocjays]

Is it just me or with that red light on her does Linda look like Ziggy Stardust?

[TheLindz2798]

his hair. look at it. <333333

[109tele]

Que buena !!!

[jewelscast]

He was the cute Beatle

[littlekidssquad]

You go Paul and Linda..  Love the Beatles

[thetuxedopenguin]

Go Linda! :D

And go Paul of course. haha.

[rebellion1967]

.. !

[enronify]

I love his playing piano !

[rolavarga]

Buenísima.

[TacomaPaul]

No better voice EVER

[sgtbeatles4]

What can I say!. Paul is part of my life. His music is really ,really great and this song is fantastic.

Keep on Rocking!

[scubaduba23]

that sax solo is off the hook.

[1940semochild]

..."Here is a song to shake thy bum too".

[rt1957]

Esta versión en vivo es superior.... Me encanta

[WilburyVision]

Wow - the first McCartney song I ever bought, that begun a 34 year love affair with The Beatles and solo Beatles!

[trinitymike]

Venus and Mars was the first album I bought, back in '74...I played the grooves off it.

[OurStarChristineDaae]

He is so adorable :)

[johnnyribcage]

Wow, he's really burnin it up with those amazing tom fills... Good song though.

[LuLuAlan21]

the live version is the best

[kspacecmk]

I can't stop watching this video. Even if the tape is sped up just a bit, it's such a great performance of an already amazing song. Man, I wish I was around for the Wings Around The World tour back in '76.

[caesarcerf]

paul is so fantastically talented and as he said immediately following this show, "we play louder than our records," which REALLY improves this song. but i'm so SURE Paul, shame. the fake harmonies added in the studio around 2:12- naughty boy! but the 'man,' what a once in a lifetime talent.

[getback9691]

Godbless Joe English

[elmakartany]

Paul is THE real and only one KING of pop for ever.......

[tedm1975]

You can say that again!

[BillLeme]

@elmakartany Take it easy... The only KING OF POP is the late Michael Jackson! Go take a look at his Motown 25 performance and then tell us if you have ever seen anything like that.

[elmakartany]

@BillLeme

I won't change my mind Billeme,I like what Michael Jackson does too,he's also a great artist indeed.

[BNSF9250]

@elmakartany um he is a classic rock artist pal.

[45arther]

@elmakartany what a lightweight. What silly lightweight songs.

[789lop1]

@elmakartany thats Michael Jackson

Paul its only the best musician ever

[elmakartany]

@789lop1

yes Man !

[TheBeatlesAreLife]

Who can't love this song? It's absolutely amazing. I think I will do what Paul said, and get up and shake my bum.

He's amazing - A living legend.

[isolationproblem]

I totally agree, Paul has always been my fav beatle and I love his Wings career

[mrdoug5150]

@TheBeatlesAreLife I remember as a child, you couldn't get away from some of these Wings songs....takes me back.....peace+love 2 all...

[montelimat]

@TheBeatlesAreLife You will listen to what the man said?

[ColetteTremblay007]

@TheBeatlesAreLife Am happy to see this living legend in action, Salute to you my friend:)

[giaisbomb]

@TheBeatlesAreLife RULES THIS UNIVERSE!!!!

[60sto80s2]

Really i never knew linda has pass away even so she had supported him when he created wings and helped with the songs.

i love this song fav songs this and silly love songs

[kd5hms63]

Sir Paul McCartney can easily be ranked as THE Best Musician/Singer to entertain multiple generations ever !!! Long live the Master of Rock and Roll !!

[TOPmusicman8]

Yeah, back then, I agree..but....nowdays, he doesn't sound very good :-p

[aighte]

Oh I will shake my bum!

[thebluesrockers]

I don't think Paul has been happy ever since the love of his life died. he has a great band today and still sounds as good as he did over 40 yrs. ago. I love paul. he has a funny joke he posted for you tube as well. hope you guys who read this check it out.

[gaspo218]

Joe English is the best drummer Paul ever had in Wings. His energy was awesome, really propelled the guys.

[nytterepos247]

Sir Paul has written lots of excellent music that spans my entire lifetime of listening to music and brings back so many memories of my younger days !!Songs I will always cherish for as long as I live !!!! Specially this one !! One of the nicest people You would ever dream of meeting !!! God Bless you Sir Paul And your Passing of your wife Linda from Cancer ... God speed to you my good friend !!! Ron Here in the states

[bergerfry]

I agree with this post. I was only 14 during this tour, while I wish I could have been there I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much as I do the Album. I have it on vinyl and CD and will continue to keep it close at hand until I pass on. Wings Over America has some of the best live recorded music I've ever heard.

My kids love the album too. Especially on Let em in when Paul say's "do me a flavor". I hope I get to see him before it's all over.

[bergerfry]

I agree with nyttrepos247. My post didn't end up in the same spot I thought it would.

[Johng1962]

I Saw this live still have the tickett stub to prove it 13 years old

June 10th 1976 at 8:30pm waited in line 8 hours Go paul go!!!

[beatlesboy7]

was it amazing?

[TheMantis1point0]

She sounds so good behind Paul. She did a good job on Hey Jude and afew other Beatle songs too. Just a fast faq haha. :)

[MustafaHamsho]

the kingdome wasn't open in 76. this

[kd5hms63]

[tokyoisfun]

ABBA

Jeff Lynne/ELO

Fleetwood Mac

[B121092]

i think.. paul mccartney/john lennon in first place

[kd5hms63]

Good to see the only real love of Sir Paul's life, his beloved late wife, Linda featured in this classic video. Paul and

Linda shared a bond that will always

endure within the heart and soul of Paul

until the day he dies. Paul is the ..best !

[kirchfam]

I like Linda's smile.

[laggie24]

Oh Pauly how could I not resist  to shake my B... ha!

[stratdaddy1971]

as a player, i know that performers often speed up mid-tempo tunes live so it keeps the audience dancing and the energy level up.

[49Classic]

Paul would just get a little rushed occasionaly on some tunes. No big thing. Stage adrenaline. I mentioned this to his drummer Joe in 1980, and he said it was common for excitement to take over.

mike

[mikedemilo]

yea i'm sure you and paul's drummer had many extensive conversations around that time....

[49Classic]

No, just the one. I met him in Lexington, Ky. I believe it was early 80s. He was playing with his own band at the time.

mike

[mikeemerylevesque]

wings over america is a great live album, i think paul was near the top of his game at this point

[kurtisp1]

Shake yer bum!!!!

[joolooj]

merely saying this is great.

[kd5hms63]

Sir Paul McCartney is the greatest Entertainer Since the creation of

mankind ! He is a phenomenol

musician, songwriter, Pioneer

of modern rock & Roll, and the list

goes on and on...He is the Chairman

of Rock & Roll ! Sir Paul is # 1 !!!

[mikedemilo]

very well said....he's the king, forget elvis

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

Luv This Version Way To Go Paul +

Wow GR8 Move Macca (Shake yer Bum) LOL!!

[Victor1970s]

"Listen To What The Man Said" was McCartney's first #1 song with his group simply called WINGS. From the RAM album (1971) to the BAND ON THE RUN album (1973), his group was known as Paul McCarney & Wings. VENUS AND MARS is also the first album to be titled simply WINGS.

[beatlecrash14]

good song

[goonerbrain59]

luvvit !! thanx 4 postin.

[MaccaWings71]

THere's a songwriter that Paul wrote this for, anyone remember who, I forgot.

[paulrslover]

Who cares the song even sped up is amazing!

[OriahLivingston]

Sometimes tunes are sped up when played live to make it sound more alive, he did this too with Magneto & Titanium Man as well as You Gave Me The Answer which both sound better than the studio cuts. If you've ever seen that movie That Thing You You Do, I believe they sped it up when they first performed the number live and it ended up making it sell.

[moreunderstanding]

Sounds so fast though. I agree with Macintosh Dan.

[supersport22]

my gosh...all I can do is shake my head in awe...this guy is just freaking incredible.

[blackbirdnum9]

lol

i love this faster version

i also love when Paul gets up and shakes his bum :D :D

[blackspace007]

It doesn't seem like it's sped up as are as the film, the band had sped the song up. They just changed it around a bit. Was lovely though wasn't it. I liked this version better,and Magneto and Titanim more live as well

[joe99f1]

brilliant top drawer maca.

[1onebastard]

Why does anyone suppose Paul tranposed it up, and sped it up so much. When a performer speeds-up their song, in sounds like they wana get through it and be done, like they're tired of it. Denny, Henry, and Linda's backing vocals sound supereb!

[MacintoshDan]

Actually, the tape sounds sped up. Just listen to how weird Paul sounds. The concert was, I supposed played in a normal key, but it was sped up during editing or something. It's superb though.

[burnsybaby1987]

Yeh with VHS I think things automatically speed up. Either that or the rush of energy at doing a great gig?

[mikedemilo]

No it is not the tape. My father was at this show and distinctly remembered this song sounding faster than the record. Paul doesn't sound weird at all. I actually like it better myself.

[MacintoshDan]

Oh, then there we have it. Glad to have found out, this was kind of in question. Thanks!

[PepperlandMcCartney]

what a great tune!

[bobolotty]

"chopin" in "sedicesimi"...my dear Paul you are a genius...i dont know if nobody can arrive at your livel...here an italian drummer..that know that only a bassist like you can make this music...i love you Paul!

[btljpgr]

my favorite song by him

[rollosb]

And this is one of those songs that restore my faith in life. Take it from a guy who regularly wants to cease to exist.

[rollosb]

Joe English simply rocks on this one.

[omarengo]

MR.BEATLES

[Khazix]

nice

[mjg23232]

Did Dave Mason play guitar on the original version?

[FruscianteLennon311]

I love this song!! Paul McCartney is too great!!

[javiland]

VIVA PAUL...!!!

[famboyantjoe]

Now --this is whats life all about!!!!

[beatlesque23]

yah liverpolgirl i agree with u,heather mills has since been booked to hell,..she's only after sir paul's money,..beatles forever!

[singletb66]

This is awesome and much better live.

[darkhorse46]

I would post a comment to say how great I think paul mccartney is. but it can't be put in words.

[liverpolgirl]

hether mills can go to the hell , PAUL is the best ,the one , the unic and nobudy will be beside him.

[karencarpenterfan]

This video is sped up. I like the original speed better. :) This is also on "The McCartney Years", but widescreen.

[burnsybaby1987]

Sped up? People occasionally play things faster live you know, could it be that?

[karencarpenterfan]

No, because I saw the original version on the McCartney Years, and it is a tempo on there.

[burnsybaby1987]

Ah right...who knows then? Whenever they seem to show Beatles on TV the songs are a pitch higher. I do like this version I must say...if you bang the song on afterwards it pales in comparison. Same with Silly Love Songs (from this same concert/DVD).

[karencarpenterfan]

Yeah, I love this version too. And I have the original version on DVD, too! I'm very happy. You know, this is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. ;)

[wmike1987]

tons of energy

[undersweet0230]

paul es el mas chingon

[citycity49]

yea!

[<]

love this song! awsome!
