I'm 55 & was never a big McCartney fan, but no complaints either. My interest in this performance is not he or the song, but the big man on the drum kit; Abe Laboriel, Jr. I wasn't aware of him until the summer of 2009 when I saw Clapton & Winwood on tour in Phoenix, AZ. Abe was the drummer & he was an epiphany! You will have to travel far & wide to find one better; maybe old school guys like Neil Peart or Carl Palmer, but among the younger musicians these days, not so much. He's a genius!
This is more like it ! you know there are people like me who have seen macca a dozen times or more ! we don't want hey jude,long and boring road,let me roll it,jet mystery tour,let it be and hello goodbye ! we want the world tonight,venus and mars,hi hi hi,goodnight tonight,take it away,smile away,back seat of my car,temporary secatary,cafe on the leftbank,listen what the man said,every night,she's a woman,all things must pass,eight days a week,fine line,birthday and let the fans vote !
Thanks for the posting. McCartney is amazing for 69.
I've posted a music video that I made, "40 years in 3 minutes" which condenses historical events and 8mm film footage into a tightly cut montage to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Enjoy! (Apologies to the guy/gal who is tired of hearing Bieber's name on YouTube)
I love Paul to death, and who doesn't totally love Ringo, but it pains me to think what could have been...John and George are missed greatly and it would have been amazing to see all four grow old together. Thanks for all the wonderful music guys.
He's still amazing, I find it so hard to wrap my head around the fact that he's the same guy from 45 years ago, like that's him! ..and he's out there right now doing something. Woah.
McCartney ages verrry slowly. He is a true inspiration. You can rock till you die of old age. He is still hitting the high notes with his voice too. A living legend.
@DONHARRISONYOUNG I would've guessed the dude on the right was either Thomas Haden Church or Willem Dafoe with a ton of botox. Turns out his name is Brian Ray.
Justin Bieber, give me a break. He could live to be a 1000 and never come close to accomblishing what Sir Paul has. The best song duo ever, Paul and John. Not to mention George and Ringo.
Thats your opinion. Ringo isn't in there class but George wrote some great songs, My Sweet Lord, Taxman etc. It took all four of them to make the Beatles works
@Robotdrummerzzk i suck dick because i like men. is that something bad in your eyes? but ringo and george are just to untalented guys who happened to be at the right place at the right time when john and paul started a band.
Paul never disappoints. He is soooo amazing LIVE! I saw him over the summer. I also was at Citi Field last year. This little youtube box doesn't do it justice!!
Talk about ageism. I think its a very limited way at looking at things. Experience is wisdom and sadley pissed on nowdays. I not saying kow tow either but I am saying respect due to the man where due, that was a superb performance from the old codger . Yea and he does look timeless to me
@troikagirl what?! what the hell are you talking about?! I'm not kissing his ass but he is doing fantastic...this is a very hard song to sing, and he reached every note. And if it bothers you about how old is he then you should go watch a Justin Bieber concert, i'm sure he looks not old enough for you. I think nobody is worried about how does Paul look but, for the record, he looks awesome. Your comment was the one that made me embarrased.
@nalwor 'Looking great' Are you insane? He looks a like an old queen with died hair! He never was good looking even in the 60's. Now he's like somebody's transexual grandad!
@christophj87 A very big thank you! You obviously know your guitars. Do you have any idea who the LA luthier is who made Tommy Lee's axe? I did know this but I've forgotten and no matter how many variants of 'Motley Crue Tommy Lee custom guitar' I Google I'm not getting what I want.
@aristotlehead No problem! I have a 12-string Doublecat myself and I love it, Duesenberg guitars are really fantastic for any kind of musical style. For the Tommy Lee guitar I can only think of McSwain Guitars, probably this is what you were looking for.
@christophj87 You are The Master! McSwain guitars it is! I've saved the website to my favourites ready to place an order as soon as I win the lottery! Seriously, thanks again and good luck with the music. I'll be checking the Duesenbergs out as well.
Is that his son, James, on lead guitar?
