[BeachGirl200200]

If I was Obama kids I would have flipped out to have Paul McCartney and David Grohl sing with me

[limestoneblocks]

Awesome. 

[gold95]

This is why Obama failed as PResident... he partys all the time...

[gold95]

[mrjasondylan]

@KITCHENOFDISTINCTION it has been repeated bob dylan sang there recently theres a vid on you tube times they are changin

[babalvg]

3 of my idols Jack White, Dave Grohl and Paul McCartney on the same stage Na Na Naing my favourite song, I don't think it gates much better than this!

[alteregoash]

I never knew Judi Dench sounded so much like McCartney.

[ThisMyUsernayme]

SO FREAKIN MAD.

THOSE PPL ARE AMOUNG THE LUCKIEST EVER.

I HATE 'EM.

AND I SAW NICK&KEVIN JONAS ON THE STAGE------ I WANTED TO PUNCH THEM BOTH. THEY DISTURBED THE GENIUS OF SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY BY SIMPLY BEING IN THE SAME ROOM. :P

[beatlelover111]

I love how relaxed Obama's daughters are with him, the way he puts his around Victoria's shoulder at5:08, then shereaches for him and hugs him right back. That's genuine, not conthrived...

Two of my faborite peole. Paul and Barrak.

[anibalnikov47]

"everybody, come on, all together... TODOS JUNTOS!" amazing love u Paul

[unknownj76]

WTF The jonas brothers LOL

[himynameisjohn]

i was waiting for Dylan to come out and steal the show.

[worschtee1919]

That infamous McCartney scream at 3:05...I LOVE IT!!!

[worschtee1919]

I just LOVE how they had Macca sitting right under Washington!!

[njrivet77]

i was waiting to see the secret service tackle tackle sir paul when he reached inside of his blazer to(i assume) scratch his shoulder

[Pmitsou123]

Sureal...

[musicmoney21]

Dylan Fans upset-watch Chris Holly play "The Time They Are A- Changin" at MICHELE BACHMANN town hall meeting. Now on youtube

[Charlystron]

When Paul says now only women sings, Jonas Brothers still singin xD

[AddsMusical]

i would so love to be in the same room with all these people zomg !!!!

[OliverSplat]

this makes me miss lennon

[ma1956]

Sir Paul still has it. I heard the lead-in to the ending chorus 2:55 - 3:02 or so, and almost cried. I've played it over about 10 times now, just that "better, better, better, better, better, better, whooooooooo!"

[valkour22]

@gaaraofthelightning how could he know it was the mic next to him? the mic puts sound out of the speaker and theres no way he could of heard it  over all the music. also how would he of known it was falling, u can bump into stuff without it falling. There is no doubt he seen it falling and with those dark glasses on that alone is amazing. If u had glasses as dark as his and i threw a ball to u, it would look like u were just grabbing at the air too, without being able to clearly see it.

[valkour22]

@valkour22 not an argument just the facts of what happen

[vYe136]

C'mon guys. You all already know Jonas Brothers were there. For Obama's children. Thats all.

[Msemospongebob]

Hey Jude is the greatest song to have a big crowd sing along to. It just is. You all know it. Admit it. I'm right. You know i am!

[CosmoKrameryyz]

@Msemospongebob Agreed friend.Its the greatest song of all time and frankly i cannot believe the guy's output during the beatles period.I mean most normal mortals would have settled for writing the most played song on radio ever..Yesterday..and remember he woke up with that song in his head??..i mean wtf!!Then he goes and writes this??.A real living genius of whom we're all lucky to have in our lifetime!!

[Msemospongebob]

@CosmoKrameryyz ikr! it's amazing to just wake up with a song in your head and have it turned into the most covered song of all time! a living genius indeed

[UndergroudMusic]

1 dislike? I bet it was G.W. Bush, Jr.!!

[xoxoxo547]

I like The Jonas Brothers but why did they have to go up there?!

[jhdezBrown95]

5:43 Paul was hit in the head with the microphone

[Mossobaadi]

3:36 Jack White?

[TheSomolianPirate]

The Jonas brothers have no business being on that stage.

[StillAware]

Stevie Wonder is a ninja.

[mromalu]

paul mc lo maximo

el kiko britanico

[SCOTTISHSOULANDHEART]

this dude is a pure genius!

[dannilevil]

Everytime I feel down I listen to this song to feel better, I'm not saying it does completely but it helps. Such a beautiful inspiring song, it brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch this performance. after so many years Paul McCartney still got it, wish I would've been there :)

[mcintoshcameron1955]

It brings tears to my eyes to see how Paul McCartney can bring so many people together everywhere with such a fantastic song!

[TheBeatlesPeaceLove1]

naaah na na nanana naaaah. nanana naaah, hey jude!

[justindelusions]

[Choefoe]

Paul is framed a lot of times in this one ;-))) a real live painting,nice one

[kevianso]

[ChordCluster]

Long Live this Music

beautiful

[RealTime88]

Such a beautiful tribute to a talented genius with a gift of music that has touched our hearts. I love seeing the President and all get up at the end to sing with Paul. Such an exciting moment.

[snakeinapple]

one word - legend

[dan3452648]

3:04, its comforting to know that McCartney can still belt it out. Amazing

[axwell21]

STEVIE CAN SEE!! OH THANK GOD MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

[beepbeepziptwang]

Stevie has been on stage for 50+ years - when Paul hits that mic, Stevie hears it fall before you see it fall. He's done it 1,000 times.

[luisito338]

paul speak spanish (todos juntos) wowwo

[syracuse9898]

lol of everyone clapping only dave grohl can keep time

[swfc502]

Thats crazy that Stevie Wonder catches the mic stand after Paul McCartney hits his head on it. Also look at his mouth, its like he is saying whops as he catches it. He aint blind after all haha

[Rockshift999]

@swfc502 OMG! He can see : D

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

@swfc502

Many blind people can still see what we could call "shadow". They see very very little, not enough to get by in the world, but enough to understand danger. Maybe it's kind of like radar, I don't know. But it's like a 6th sense. Quite amazing. What an amazing concert this must have been!

[Choefoe]

@swfc502 People who are blind have very good hearing, because you don,t use your eyes, it moves to an other sensory,hearing and feeling;-)

[deadmanhand]

JUST FUCKING AMAZING!!! THANKS BEATLES FOR THE REST OF LIFETIME

[RealTime88]

@deadmanhand Oh I agree. I saw Sir Paul receive the Kennedy Center Honor last night on CBS. Beautiful tribute. They did Hey Jude last and everyone in the audiance sang NANANANA at the end. I am a Beatles fan too so I totally understand how you feel. Is Hey Jude your favorite song from the Beatles or is it also hard for you to pick one favorite Beatles song?

[tompent]

lol you can tell jack white is thinking "this is fucking lame" haha

[Quakelord1991]

The coda at the end of this song is my favorite part of the song.

[frikinjoe]

Paul spoke Spanish at 5:23, he said "todos juntos", weird he spoke Spanish in a place where everybody speaks English.

[WMDxCLuTCH]

@frikinjoe Weird that over 20% of white people know spanish. ITS A CONSPIRACY!! fuck off dude.

[langerguitarboy]

i love having a president who could be cool enough to do this and not embarrassed us all... what a great performance to!!!!

[langerguitarboy]

just imgine jerry sinefeld singing this lol ahaha

[jujulovedepp]

So weird... Where is the leader of the Jonas Brothers ? Joe.. At the end, he never comes XD

[Scarman196]

HAHAHA Dave Grohl FTW!!!!!

[Acsuperman72]

Yeah, its not that the Jonas Brothers aren't talented, their music just isn't good. They were AWESOME at the White House with Drive My Car. This is coming from someone who really doesn't like their songs otherwise. So it boils down to that they're a talents music players, not writers imo.

[TheRealCritique]

Jonas Brothers are talented enough to play a Beatles cover at the White House, sure. Just don't let them perform any of their own music, because that's when the donkey ball smell starts wafting around.

[genroku7]

It's a big song.

[xoMarshallxo]

I have to say, bashing the people in this video gets you know where. I have to say, this video makes me smile. The fact that they're share the great music, with people in one room makes me smile. The fact, that they have smiles on their faces and are having a good time. Isn't that all what matters? Not the lack of talent?

[xoMarshallxo]

Oh, and Paul still has it in him.

[TheRealCritique]

I'll agree with you on the Jonass Brothers, and their utter lack of talent. They suck huge donkey balls. However, I'm not about to diss a Beatle. Sorry. I understand that their music may be tired, but I actually still find it fresh on occasion, and I'm really picky. I heard some Pretenders today, and I couldnt get to the radio fast enough to turn it off. I cant stand Paul's current music, but his Beatles (not WINGS) songs are classics. Sorry, it's a fact.

[novideos102]

@TheRealCritique OH PLEASE. Jonas Brothers, no talent? Why would Paul McCartney himself invite them if they had no talent? I doubt that you know more about real music than McCartney.

Just because they're a boy band and that they're with Disney doesn't mean they don't have any talent. Dick.

[fafever]

@novideos102 well obviously they don't have ANY talent, they just have minimal talent compared to the likes of sir paul mccartney, dave grohl and jack white.

[ASupremeOwl]

@novideos102 Jonas Brothers are just a set of bible bashing retards with the same amount of musical ability as Ricky Martin. Fucking useless... On the other hand McCartney a true British hero!

[terrafirma91]

Why does Seinfeld have to shove his mug into the Limelight, he's almost standing on McCartney's lap. Some of these celebs just have to horde the attention no matter where the venue is.

[terrafirma91]

Who do these public servants think they are? Why should McCartney give the Executive Branch a private concert? What would the reactions be of the NSA, CIA, or FBI if McCartney were to give them a private concert, especially at Quantico?

This just proves there is absolutely no difference between politics, and showbiz.

[heythurrbbyg123]

@degree7 what the heck?! not its not!

@wtsbuddy I saw that when i first watched it to!! i was like ???? LOL

[degree7]

Whoah, this shit is GAAAAY

[TheRealCritique]

@degree7 yeah, I bet you like no talents like Jay-SKeezy. It's a ballad moron....

[degree7]

@TheRealCritique

Oh please, McCartney is such a... bland old man now.

He's been consistently middle of the road ever since his stint with Wings for the past 35 years.

And I can't help but have my taste soured when I see those Jonas creeps up there.

[frikinjoe]

@degree7 you surely are gay

[palmrockbermuda]

ONE LOVE

[terrafirma91]

@palmrockbermuda : They should have played Helter Skelter instead.

[ethanbkool]

lol and for a sec it looked as if Paul didn't like touching Obamas hand at around 4:13

[wtsbuddy]

Watch the end closely and see Stevie Wonder catch the falling mic stand! This is the version I originally saw. Why are there so many edits out there that show Jerry Seinfeld in that spot instead. Pay attention around 5:30 or so. It's at the end of the second round of nanana's sung all together after "just the girls sing." Sir Paul is heading back to the piano, knocks his head on the mic, it teeters and you can see for yourself... Who catches it?!

[kent4444]

@wtsbuddy

i looked for this video specifically to see stevie catch that mike, i saw it live and rewound it a million times.

[pork611]

@wtsbuddy ha,,sooo funny, you're right!! I wonder if the jonus brothers even know what a legend mccartney is or what he did for modern music. they were just there so the daughters would pay attention for two hours, I think.

[chunnyboy33]

@wtsbuddy it looks like herbie hancock - one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time - caught sir paul's falling mic

[ChordCluster]

Stevie is as blind as the night is dark. I know this from first hand experience. 

That's Brian Ray, the amazing multi-instrumentalist, standing next to, and behind Stevie... who caught the stand.

[TheBeatlesMusic100]

@wtsbuddy bunch of credits blocking it....

[yesspaz]

@wtsbuddy So, is Stevie not totally blind? I know Herbie made the final grab, but Stevie definitely made a move toward it.

[h1yaaaguy]

@wtsbuddy the guitarist catches it
