[ALittleBitLonger33]

aww! :) its sooo sweet that Paul McCartney is singing a John Lennon song :)

[edwardLRS]

@ALittleBitLonger33 Yoko usually gets mad when he does

[grevejp44]

@edwardLRS does yoko ever NOT get mad?

[EllieN302]

@grevejp44 LOL



[8bitbeats]

saw it yesterday live in chile !!! blew the crap out of my mind

[Dropexz]

only those who aren't a real beatle fan talk shit about Macca OR Lennon, we all have our favourite one, but they are the same perfect artist that the world bring us all.

(sorry for my english by the way :P)

[united016]

1:45 is the greatest moment in the history of rock and roll. what a song

[lolfag93]

McCartney is King and I love the live version

its a pity Lennon's not around to sing the verses any more :(

[serpent918]

@lolfag93 yeah pauls an amazing singer but he doesnt have the spectral quality that john had

[shankar313]

@serpent918 both were great together.. i miss john .. i miss the beatles .. if i have one wish , its to see paul's live concert ones before i die ..

[intietereo]

cool a day in the life en vivo se escucha increible

[SpeedStacking1]

2 people are deaf or just idiot

[AguMil14]

HERMOSOOO TEMAA!!!

pd: AGUANTEE THE BEATLESS!!!

[heidiswitzerland]

John and Paul were at their best with this song.. RIP John, long live Paul..

[ishandewan11]

Undoubtedly the best piece of rock music ever written.

[MitchGettman]

One of the best songs ever.

[beatlesboyseventeen]

2 people need a life...

[rick085]

EU VOU VER ESSA PORRA AO VIVO NA PISTA PRIME!! PQP!!!

[alwayswithmyfaith]

TEMAZOOOOOOOOO '¡¡¡¡¡

i miss you john

[Drastam]

I think it's so great that he sings his friend's songs. Brill.

[Stube437]

I think it's just a bit wrong for him to do this. It just makes me wish John was still alive too much. It's not like he's not got others he could do.

[Noise789]

@Stube437 it's a song from the band that he used to be in... it's perfectly ok.

[Stube437]

@Noise789 It's not perfectly o.k. with me. He's got enough great songs of his own to do without hijacking one of John's best songs and just rubbing it in that he's still he hear and Lennon's dead. He did it first at Liverpool city of culture 08 gig in front of Yoko so what was she going to think? She was going to think 'If only John was still here...'that's why I don't like it.

[Noise789]

@Stube437 it's not hijacking if they made the song when they were in a band... and actually john wrote it. idiot

[fl00dsm0k3]

@Noise789 john wrote rhe begining and the end paul wrote the midle were he sang

[lolharbandhar]

@Stube437 It came at the top of several 'best songs of all time' lists in the 2000s, plus Paul wrote half of it, why the hell shouldn't he play it?

[Stube437]

@lolharbandhar he performed it first at the Liverpool08 thing in front of Yoko. Imagine how he'd feel if Yoko performed one of linda's songs. It'd just make him feel bad 'cause Linda wasn't there to sing it herself. So it's insensitive. He might well go and dance on johns grave.

[drummerboysardelli]

@Stube437 he's doing the song as a dedication to john, plus he wrote half of it!! so your saying just because john died his music should die with him. thats the thing bout music its eternal it doesnt die nd im pretty sure john would be happy that his song is still being played and people from a tottally different generation are loving it.

[1classicrockfan]

@drummerboysardelli Exactly! i completely agree! The Beatles' music should never die

[mccreedy]

@Stube437

Don't talk fuckin shite!

[gh9448]

@Stube437 Actually, he was performing it back in the late 80's-it's on his Tripping The Live Fantastic CD from '89 or '90.

[Stube437]

@gh9448 I'd check again if i was you. It's not on that album.

[gh9448]

@Stube437 You're sooo right!I was thinking of Sting-he did a version of it back in the early 90's,so God knows how I got them mixed up!!!

[Stube437]

@gh9448 oh. I'd like to hear that. I'm gonna try and find it.

[Durban36]

@Stube437 Prat.

[Stube437]

@Durban36 Drag isn't it?

[SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

@Stube437 Yeah, but Yoko didn't co-write Linda's songs. Paul co-wrote this.

[chicagolegend]

@Stube437 Why? Paul and John both worked closely on this song... Paul has his own verse, came up with the "Id love to turn you on" line and also had the idea of the crazy orcestra sound. If anything this is more Paul's song than Johns IMO.

[andylyboy31]

@chicagolegend

[SuperDoesitreallymat]

@chicagolegend But the beauty of this song is set by the verses John wrote and sang. Yes, the song is MUCH better and epic for Paul's contributions, but it's John's opening and closing verses that are truly beautiful and haunting.

[lees2oo8]

I went through a phase where i was obsessed with finding out if paul was dead, when i googled "never could see any other way" sgt peppers lonely hearts club band comes up, but there is no quote of the actual lyric. It's actually scary it's just random words dotted around in difference sentences. Oddest thing i've ever seen.

[united016]

if paul mccartney really died in 1966 then i'd have to say this 2nd Mccartney is more talented lol

[martipin12]

i wish paul play this in Chile

[agus1234560]

@martipin12 and i wish paul play in argentina

[mickels49]

omg if your level of Beatles knowledge is so low you have to ask which one is Ringo and post saying Ringo was a Beatle do us all a favor and don't bother

[dorgaorfa]

@mickels49 Ringo was a beatles dumb ass.

[blackreven]

wish the real pual was alive.

[spidermanb101]

@blackreven used to belive in the Paul Mccartny was dead myth too, but even if u rly belive he is an impostor, u have to respect this paul because hes done alot. (this is not meant to start a flame war more of a disscussion)

[music2man88]

@blackreven lmao your a looser

[dorgaorfa]

@blackreven Oh, so this person named sir paul mccartney whos played with the ebatles and wrote the songs isnt him...funny, could have swarn it was...

[shatowboy]

@dorgaorfa Its william Sheers 

[berluismz]

The drumms sound like Ringo's. Mr. Laboriel is a great drummer!

[kirahot]

Feliz de tener a Sir en México!!, Paul te adoro!!

[kirahot]

@marcoecw Yes I know. Ringo is the drummer. I made the comment that the 4 are awesome!, it interfering with their ideologies.

[UmbrellaFitzgerald]

which one is ringo again?

[marcoecw]

@UmbrellaFitzgerald

Ringo is the Drummer for the Beatles, he is not in this performance..

[MenaPaws21]

@UmbrellaFitzgerald hahaha for a second there i taught you were an idiot, phew! :D

[bigdunk9]

The only song which has ever reduced me to tears!

[MexicanGanGster1995]

why isnt ringo playing the drums? and love this song

[4FabBEATLES]

The BEatles have broken up- they no longer play together usually. Ringo and Paul reunited to sing 'friends' at Radio City Music Hall concert. and later reunited for the Concert For George 2001 a tribute to George Harrison the BEatle inclusing paul, ringo, george's son Dhani, and other famus guys. it's available on DVD. This is the band Wings, ggeorge's son Dhani Harrison isn't playing here. He plays regular and electric guitar in his own band.

[djpiccalo]

this isnt wings

[glamrockgurl]

i don no i wish he did though XD

[nothingxs]

@MexicanGanGster1995 i don't know. why would he be?

[B0BBARKER444]

is the George's son up there playing?

[danasdaprice]

anyone who doesn't think this is a tune is a dick

[KCwellard]

I think if I was Paul I would cry every time...

[bobverty]

i think... lennon it is crying wherever he is.... i mean not for the performance, just beacuse is paul, you know

[Rush1013]

what?

[Jeanpablovenegas]

buenisimo!!!!!!

[jjemphoung]

i wish he could come here

[bernardosanches]

Yeah! When he arrieves in Brazil it´s going to be the most perfect party ever!!! Abril 21! HERE I GO!!

[kingbreeze2010]

this is awesome.

[k0stil]

wow!

i thought he would play only his part!

[XZYOE]

Every time he sings this he always messes up on the "Seconds Flat" line.

[spngebob1237]

why didnt they just play a day in the life and not give peace a chance with it? give peace a chance is a good song but...

[juanmaking]

Estos rusos son muy amargos!!!! Como me gustaria que Paul venga a Argentina junto con Ringo X)

[lokomoko008]

no son rusos son ukranianos

[jbkid13]

Ya know what they ALL had good voices. the thing is we heard Paul and John's more.

[Beanziebopper]

I like when the other Beatles take stabs at singing songs a different Beatle sang originally. This is an amazing tribute to John. Sure, Lennon sang it "better," but guess what? He's not around anymore to sing it. I'll take the next best thing : Paul McCartney.

[Phangmaster]

not Julian Lennon? ;-)

[trumpetmaster5505]

Yeah!!

[LEOQUEENDSR]

Que publico amargo x dios!!

[okfireret]

saw him in oklahoma city. great. i would see him again and the eagles.

[LoveTheRain92]

great song.. he is great..

great city! my city :D

[mamflyer]

i don´t like the drumming here.

It has nothing to do with the great performance ringo made in the record of this song

[catastrophy2k8]

na the drumming dosent compare to ringos

[sgtpepper1138]

well he's also using MUCH bigger drums, a 26" bass drum compared to a 20 or 22 that was used, and BIG toms

i've never really dug abe's drum sound, it's got no defenition, his high tom is still really low and his bass is just too big for this type of music, I mean they're not playing zeppelin

he's a damn fine drummer, but he needs to change his kit to go with the music

[sheseems]

they ruined the song at the end

[friedrice7]

Didn't Paul sing the beginning and end parts, which were actually written by John. And John sung the middle part which was written by Paul?

[puglia5375]

no, john sang the beginning and end, written by himself, and paul sang the middle, written by himself.

[halferuga]

Great song. But it sounded better when John sang it...

[dagreatmogul]

Yeah but Lennon was inspired as he was the writer and he was only 27 years old when he sang it, not 66! Macca would have sung this nice in 1967 also but couldn't have done what Lennon did with it!

[harzann]

I disagree. I'd say that McCartney was a more talented vocalist than Lennon.

[limitedChico]

I'm with harzann.

[poussyledzep]

i disagree john had an awesome voice!

[tallman29uk]

Awesome

[menkothebest22]

This is my favourite Lennon's song....

Paul, John and George were and still are genius...

[Dowinixoontherun]

the best song ever ..

[bengalfootballfan]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[matbouch]

Very nice video!!! Paul is the man!!

[napalmtube]

WOW

[makingsense53]

What a great tribute to John Lennon by his old Beatle partner Paul. You can tell the overflowing crowd in Russia loved it and so did I. Peace.

[SpeedBuggy92]

Paul did a medley tribute song about 18 years ago. Strawberry field/ Help/ Give Peace a Chance. Great to hear him sing A Day in the Life. Of course he can't live up to the legendary vocals that John provided but it was a great tribute anyhow. Ironically he keeps messing up the middle bit, which way his major contribution to the song.

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

I'm happy that Paul began playing this. It's a nice tribute to John, a great performance, and the only instance I can think of where Paul sang one of John's songs.

[sggiw]

This is good, but John's voice is unforgettable and legendary.

[1962GARLICMAN]

As there are not vocal of John, the drum of the Ringo, unfortunately this performance is slightly good. (from Japan)

[howwdoyousleep]

It's good, but not the same without John singing it.

[101011we]

I know, John was amazing... RIP John and George <3

[kelvintew]

He is getting older... So we cant blame on him... Must give him support!! Well, he is still THE LEGEND!!! Because of THE BEATLES!!!

[sjucrev]

To see a Beatle do this song, especially the one who co-wrote it, is immensley interesting to me. If I wanted to hear the Peppar version, I would pop in a CD. This is a just a good, rocking version of it that my ears tremendously enjoyed.

[minnesotabobby]

Was he ever in a famous band? I never have heard of him.

[jeffsgottawii]

woah are you serious you don't know who paul mccartney is? why the hec were you even watching him perform then? by the way, he's from the beatles and also the wings.

[spngebob1237]

wow u never heard of paul mccartney. thats sad

[bobverty]

how could somebody have never heard of paul ?... sad is short for what it is...

[joyboy10]

I think john lennon would be proud

[McMahonMedia]

Man, this video quality is awesome.

Thank you. Great song.

[brawlmelee13]

The best musician and bass player of the history.

[paspstol]

Excellent song!

[panamasado]

this song is written by lennon? isn´t it?

[andionita]

it's written together by John and Paul. John had the verses, while Paul had the little bit in the middle. So they had the idea of putting them together and there you have it ...

[RichieStarkey]

Paul also had the bit "I'd love to turn you on" . Actually, they were both sitting at the piano when he came up with that. Apparently it was one of those moments where they just looked at each other and knew that was the line.

[tommywm24]

Give Peace A Chance was also Lennon/McCartney but because they broke up Lennon took the whole credit!

[BritishArrow]

Give Peace A Chance was written by John Lennon when you one of his bed-ins. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that McCartney was involved in this song, if there is please tell me as I am interested. As far as I have read it is a John Lennon and possibly Yoko Ono song.

[tommywm24]

As stated on wikipedia: "McCartney was reportedly given cowriting credit as a gesture of gratitude for his help in recording Lennon's highly personal The Ballad of John and Yoko the previous April, and accepting it for release as a Beatles single."

[FB1801]

Both Lennon and McCartney. The firt part is Lennon and the second one is McCartney. Paul's part starts at "woke up fell out the bed..."

A true masterpiece.

[omarengo]

Paul written the MIDDLE, the most important verse: "I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON" and above all, the revolutionary and iconic ORCHESTRA and play Piano. So song is 50% McCartney and 50% Lennon.

[pichilingo]

he didn't change anything, its a medley between a day in the life and give peace a chance, another lennon song

[alpinetimes]

maybe i am alone here but, i can't believe Paul changed the song - last verse, disrespect to John.

[RichieStarkey]

..uh... I think John would have loved it. (and no one knows better than Paul)

[gronino]

that's so true

[romainlabaye]

great!!

[aversihayunputonombr]

Gracias Paul!!!!!!!

Eres el mejor por siempre.

[moroz23]

The drum insertions between the lines of the original song are masterpiece, Abe couldn't repeat what Ringo had done.

[simonphilipps]

Strange but beautiful to hear the whole part sung by McCartney. Great song. Beatles rule!

[JulianLennon1]

All we are saying is Give Peace A Chance..

War is over if you want it.

-J. Lennon

[johanboel]

Don't forget Paul wrote the sentence: I'd love to turn you on ...

[BonelessSausage]

Yes he did. A great collaboration. Paul was hesitant to add his part John said because he thought the song was already good enough. Ed

[lexiibabbii113]

gud.

[WiltatKansas]

It's obvious that is a tribute to Lennon with Lennon or Lennonian songs, Paul is my idol, he sings Give Peace a Chance at the end.

[stevenhoward72]

Sure and all I was saying was that wile Lennon's gothic ballad is the original idea, it's McCartney's connecting of this to his own , very different song, via a build up and "dream" sequence (both his idea) that makes this truly revolutionary. 60/40 Macca..... Just kidding. 50/50.

[stevenhoward72]

This is a John AND Paul song. The chaotic build up in the middle/end was Paul's idea and he conducted the orchestra. And the "woke up got out of bed" bit is all paul. The "went into a dream AHHH" is all Paul. However John's verse is so good I'd give it a 50/50 John/Paul split. I'd like to hear him do more John songs. "Walrus" and "Lucy.." etc. If anyone's got the right it's him. "How do you sleep" might be a step too far but it'd be a hoot. "She loves you & "..Hand.." 50/50's would be great too.

[WiltatKansas]

Not, all you effort trying to explain me something that i already know was a waste of time. A day in the life is a original John song, Hunter Davies knows it, he found a lost tape in the Abbey studio. Paul too the song and added the middle, working with Lennon obviously, but the main song is John's.

[comanchebeef]

They're both great song writers. Lennon had a beginning and an end to a song, McCartney had a middle to a song, so they just put them together. There will never be another song writing team like Lennon/McCartney.

[WiltatKansas]

Sure, but i was only trying to say that A day in the life is an original Lennon composition but the final version on the album has the middle added by Paul, but the main melody is John's. I think their early songs are more working team songs.

[comanchebeef]

True, they probably thought it would sound better to stick with the Lennon/Mccartney as the song writing credits. Gotta admit they were the greatest songwriting team ever.

[WiltatKansas]

I would give my heart to see Lennon with McCartney in this concert singing together like in the old days, it would be amazing.

[studerj37]

The songs is a true Lennon McCartney song.

Paul the middle + the I'd love to turn you on "sentence". The orchestral build up was more or less a Paul/George Martin brainchild. Although John calling it a musical orgasm.

[WiltatKansas]

In my eyes is an artificial but masterly added i the middle by Paul and with the orchestra, but the basic song is I read the news today oh boy, it's obvious Paul sing this song for John Lennon, that's because is a John Lennon song but in the Beatles and where Paul worked with him to turn the track in a piece of art.

[nowheremanm80]

basta de discuciones imbeciles,siempre seran the beatles

[casso1900]

he sounds not as good coz he was in a thunder storm for 2 hours and he would not cancel the concert you would sound a bit off key if you had just been soaked i now this because paul caslin was the director aka poggie caslin aka my brother

[gutgolf74]

I agree, his voice is not very good on this one.

Maybe he was so touched that his voice kind of broke...

Please no more "BUT THIS IS A JOHN SONG" comments! Note the "Give peace a chance" ending. What does that tell you about Macca's intention??

[janenank]

Thanks for sharing these videos from Russia! The Venus and Mars album rates up there with Abbey Road!

[janenank]

Sure hope this is shown on tv

[WiltatKansas]

But this is a John Lennon sog.

[ThePaisans]

No kidding! He did it as a tribute to Lennon

[WiltatKansas]

Sure, everybody who knows well Lennon McCartney knows to tell the difference a John song from a Paul song, and this is a John song.

[bob46]

It is a both song. This one was a 50/50 effort

[johnsposato]

The middle 8 was his. It's credited to them both anyway. You know the story. However, i didn't expect this one.

There should be an official DVD of this. This was very rare to happen in the Ukraine.

[WiltatKansas]

Yes i know the sotry, it's a John composition nd the Paul added the middle, but i repeat it's very strange that McCartney sang this song, because really is a John song, even the style of the song it's bad to be singed by Paul, thought all the songs by Lennon or McCartney are credited to Lennon/McCartney in The Beatles, everybody knows it.

[bradf20]

yes, idiot, and he did this as a tribute in him because its a great song and they were in a band called the Beatles together. Idiot.

[WiltatKansas]

Idiot is your mother, i'm a Beatles fan and Paul too.

[bob46]

it is in reality a 50/50 effort on this song.

[JotheBytle]

Thanks a lot of posting this. Happy Birthday Paul on 18.6.! You are the very best alive Musican and Composer in the world

[npotash]

thanks a lot for posting

[Knugabug]

He's in out of vocal shape in 0-8 but anything to mix up the set list in 0-8 is okay with me.
