Paul McCartney plays HERE TODAY at Amoeba

[Balertwine]

The murder of John Lennon was one of the saddest days of my life, and was so for millions of people all over the world.

The true heart and genius of Paul in this song is absolutely stunning. That he was able to convey on such a personal level his sense of loss, and transform that to lyric and song so beautifully, is just astounding.

It allows us all a way to deal with our grief now that we must continue on without John. Thank you, Paul.

[bonjourballerina]

paul admitted in a recent interview that he was actually crying during this performance. he said he was doing well with keeping it together, but he noticed a girl crying in the audience and he went along with her. bless his beautiful heart x

[beatlechick1]

@jcarr613 Same here. I've seen him a few times after this, too and this is still the best concert I've ever been to. #67

[singwith]

Cool. It was just awesome.

[apaulsonrn]

I was there, number nine in line, front row, quite near you but my camera was new, my video blurry so thank you for this wonderfulpost. did you per chance get the cd that was given out with the london times, entire set almost

[apaulsonrn]

i posted calico skies, not a great recording but the entire song is there

it was such a great show, now i have the cd that came out in the daily mail, it has a bunch of the talking in between songs also

[singwith]

Yea, I remember you. no, I did not get the cd. wish they release the CD(dvd even better!) in the US.

[beatlechick1]

@apaulsonrn Hey Audrey, I got the cd.  Great but wish we could get a full recording of this show.

[FLOCKY111]

a very beautiful in addition, a very sad song of paul.

[mar1an05]

este video tiene un valor tan grande, esta canción, todo lo que significa, el hecho de escucharlo a Paul cantandola a tantos años de todo lo que pasó y que ese recuerdo siga tan intanco como aquel día, da ganas de llorar (y lloras...) es muy fuerte verlo. una canción de las mejores.

[mccartneydylanwilson]

At 1:44 he starts to choke up and finds it hard to sing for about 10 seconds. Bless his heart - and a beautiful heart at that. I love the guy.

[Rigelcentauri58]

Yeah, you are right...

He is loved by all humanity.

[iLoseTechnology]

I've seen other videos of this performance and yours is by far the best. Thanks for posting this video up. I really hope you'll post the other Macca videos. :( Darn those video stealers...

[singwith]

Thanks. If he/she take off my videos from youtube, I'd post my other Macca videos.

[libraryquiet]

God bless you Paul we can feel the love you have for John in this performance. Thank you Singwith.

[Slowhand505]

Wow Paul singing with all his heart, amazing after all John was his best friend and he write a good song for him

[imissthebeatles]

This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for sharing - I also found your video from another posting and favorited yours. And I am telling all my good friends about this video!

[singwith]

Thank you. You are very welcome!

[voltairespunk]

im sorry about your videos being stolen. i saw this on mccartneyIII, but saw the comment you posted and came to watch it here instead. thank you for posting this.

[singwith]

Thank you for your comment. You are welcome. Yea, I posted it here for who did not see the show & hoping they enjoy the video at least. It's sad, they are also Maccartney fans but turned to be a thief. Whoever stole my video, they didn't even ask me and they don't even think about songs, love & peace, friends, etc.... Stealing is a bad thing but some people just don't get it. :(

Btw, Happy new year to you!

[RoadienicknamedRor]

So... you got Paul's permission to post your vid of his concert here?

I enjoy the video so I'm glad you posted it, but don't accuse others of "stealing" your video since you were the first one to steal this footage from Paul

[singwith]

I don't think you understand. I did not steal from Paul's footage. Paul did not have this "footage".

[MatGrowcott]

what he means is that you've posted a McCartney video of a McCartney song without his permission. Which i'm sure is infringement.

Yeah...not taking sides, just clearing that up.

[singwith]

I don't think that's not what he was saying. He said"steal this footage from Paul". So, Paul owned my video"? He did not saying "Paul's music". If I really infringing Paul's video, I should be take this away from Youtube but so as everybody who's posting "Paul's Video". Anyway, what surprises me is you guys are defending someone stealing someone's video. That's we should talk about. Two bad guys stole my video and one got suspended what he have done and other guy still posting my video!

[singwith]

Btw, what do you think who's "REALLY" stealing someone's video such as youtube user""thebeatlessound"? I'd like to know your opinion.

[MatGrowcott]

AS I SAID: I was just explaining his meaning. I'm very grateful for being able to watch things like this, it's why youtube has thrived

HOWEVER, you have to be able to see his point? Even in a hypothetical sense.

[HollywoodTeasers]

If you enjoy this video why are you calling him a thief?

You should thank him for posting this video.

Say "Thank you" or shut up...

singwith, thank you for posting this.

[MatGrowcott]

Didn't call him a Thief, didn't imply he was a Thief, just cleared up RoadienicknamedRors point. In the eyes of the law this is infringement, along with every other bootleg EVER.

RoadienicknamedRor's point, which i'm sure anyone with sense can at least agree with in theory, is that how can someone who, IF TAKEN TO THE LETTER OF THE LAW, is infringing copyright they shouldn't call someone else a thief.

I love this video. Thank you Singwith for being the original poster.

[robdobbler]

Not necessarily, the copyright of the video belongs to the person who filmed it. Same as photography. If it was expressed that no video footage of the performance was allowed then that is a different matter, but that isn't clear.

[marsL001]

awesome

thnxx

[singwith]

you are welcome.

[beatlesalbum]

One of the core emotions of life is sadness. This is like sadness amplified many times over..

really brave of you paul

[saguaroboy]

i notice he scoots past the little string accent that comes after the"but we could always sing" part in the studio version- probably because they're the most mournful strings committed to record ever- you can't even listen to it without weeping- i can't imagine having to perform it. thanks Paul Mccartney and George Martin.

[singwith]

nice thoughts, thanks,

[lyndonism]

He love John so much, thanks Paul!

[annagaleota]

His eyes are the same eyes that looked into John's for so many times,so many years..Magnificent and deeply emotional..We all are crying with him

[singwith]

Thanks for the all comments. I reall feel that I was very lucky to be there. Paul did a free show but not just a free show. He put his feeling on every song he played specially "Here Today" and Ringo was there.... We all know we miss John and George. Thank you Paul!

[beatlechick1]

Yeah, luck is the perfect way of putting it. I, too, was there. The best night of my life and the gratefulness that we all shared that night can not ever be erased. It was very emotional during not only this song but a few others. Thank you Amoeba, THANK YOU PAUL!!

[singwith]

Yea, at first, I wasn't planing to post this video on youtube because Paul might not like it. Paul chocked up and he didn't want to anybody to see this video but I figured what the heck, so many people unable to attend this incredible night even they want to, so I posted it.

[cybergal99]

Thanks so much for posting that....it's great that Paul is letting us know how he really felt...THAT is a Beautiful song!!! He didn't get as emotional in NY, but it was still great!

[alemaldonado]

damn, i'm cryin' now, i don't know how Paul is suffering now,he's a great man,a great father, a great human, and i still thinkin' why he's cryin',all the time, just listen, watch it....God Bless You Paul,we are qith you until the end of the end...Love u

[maskangel]

Sublime, splendide, que d'émotions...

[kawaiichick]

Aw.

This song makes me cry.

I can't imagine how hard it is for Paul to sing.

[laluna60]

A real thrilling version of this song...

[Danagain]

He sings the Lennon/McCartney songs so well!

[yellyman]

This is not a Lennon/McCartney song. He wrote this after John Lennon was shot as a tribute to John.

[Ulysses61]

Many of us in the audience were crying as Paul sang this.

[Crisstti]

Beautiful song. Thanks for uploading. The lyrics are really moving.
