Be Bop A Lula - Paul McCartney (UNPLUGGED)

[tonymusicrocks]

WHO was the piano player here?

[eggman1979cooa]

@tonymusicrocks The piano player is the great Paul "Wix" Wickens. He's been playing with Paul since 1989. He has been a memeber of Paul's band for 23 years and you don't know him? Wix has played hundreds and hundreds of concerts around the world: Israel, Moscow, Rome, Mexico, the White House, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Dubai, Stockholm, Canada...etc. He appears on videos like My brave face, This one and Hope of deliverance. Every Paul's fan knows him.

what I would give to have been there....

[jehrful]

mmmm a mi me late mas esta version que la de John porque, para mi se oye mejor lenta pero las dos estan muy chidas

[RANDOPAUL]

This McCartney guy has a good handle on Rock 'n Roll, eh!?

[lauriotero]

potrooooooooo

[babyinblack]

woooooo paul's so cute singing this song lol

[TheMoruzXD]

i like Paul but JOHN LENNON's version is better

[omar44269]

He can sing what he wants...Great voice, great artist. Lennon/ McCartney are immortal.

[paokipi]

GREAT

[lorenzoghibli]

Paul est meilleur dans le repertoire de Little Richard, avec tout l'immense respect que j'ai pour sir Paul Mc Cartney cette version de bebop a lula façon Jazz à Montreux n'est pas à la hauteur de l'original par Gene Vincent: trop cool pas assez rock.

[bladesofglory12]

Takes you back to the fifties -- the song John was singing the day he met Paul..

[mysmilefactory]

hot...sexy...hot!

[dequetevasadisfrazar]

la canta mejor '''JOHN LENNON´''

[94GeorgeS]

That guitar solo was smooth

[MarkcartneyR]

con esta cancion empezo todo, con esta cancion empezaron los beatles con esta cancion empezo el Lennon-McCartney

[candygal32]

oh my lord <3.<3

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

Imagine if he was singing this to teenage girls in the mid 60s. I would swoon. I still would.

[jcboysoviet]

Elvis sang it though it's a gene Vincent song

[MAGICO240]

@jcboysoviet

Elvis never sang this song. Though Gene Vincent was inspired by the king to sing it.

It is pure Elvis style. They it took from Elvis Money Honey, just try it.

[jcboysoviet]

Elvis sang it, but am pretty sure it's a gene Vincent song

[SketchBoat]

fun fact: paul is afraid of playing solos infront of people

[DeltaGunner1]

Cool and My hat off normally not a McCartney fan

[felippeeborges]

What??? Good, but... the version of Lennon is very best.

[njriley55]

Hottest 49 year-old evah!

[Jakka1313]

siempre se noto la diferencia de poul y john

han escuchado el tema de john

por cierto los 2 son buenos pero poul es mas relajado para cantar

a diferencia q john es mas agresivo por asi decirlo

[rockyraaacoon]

[exbeatle1]

Demonios nomas Cantando los exitos de su maestro por eso nunca lo pudo alkanzar

[amberitokristabelle]

[amberitokristabelle]

I'm sitting here dying over Paul, and then suddenly I hear the guitarist on the left! Wow! So much talent on one small stage! (:

[driverdad71]

[titefalyne]

[fisicaneutra2]

En @2:45 está linda. La extraño =(

[ukidinme2010]

I would take Paul over Elvis any day!!!

[smeghan1]

Ah.........the great debate....I think Paul wins this one.......for this song......I miss John though

[WhereTheresLife]

haha I voted for "I like this" but to be honest "I like this so much!!" =)

this version is smashing!

[sunchild90]

LENNON'S BETTER

[zaanhoolie]

@sunchild90

Whas he sick?

[sunchild90]

@zaanhoolie yeah, he got shot

[1234567qwm]

@sunchild90 Paul and John were always completly different. I love them both :)

[strat8383]

The piano player is Paul Wickens (Wix) and yes he is awesome...an overused word but, in his case, appropriate

[msbigjen1]

John's is better, his voice is just so much more alive. There's just no one that could do it like him. Forever love him!

[FlyGirl321CF]

I will take Paul over Elvis anyday!!! Paul is so sexy!!!

[lesliesanazaro]

Who's this piano player?? Awesome!

[dpolizzi]

hottest way possible to sing this song!!!!

[EtachMrMcfly]

GREAT!

[royraaijmakers]

he's left handed!! cool!

[starwarsfreak1111]

2:12 :D

[loveyourwhiteshoes]

yeah rock 'n roll!!!

Check out my Be bop a lula,

Thanks!!! x

[nafruito]

GOD. :O

I love Gene Vincent's voice when he sings this song, but having Paul sing it... I almost died. XD He will always be sexy.

[iBeAtLeGiRl]

U gotta love this maaaaaaaaaan!!! <3

[wendydale1]

Love how he did this. Very classic, well done and enjoyable. Great to see how his talent interprets some of the old greats.

[fc7alibi]

Robbie Macintosh is the man. I wonder if he's playing with Mayer now out of respect or because he can pay. Because surely, if he'd played with McCartney before then other guys can pay him the same or more than mayer and before this I didn't know he had such a high profile as a backup musician.

Sweet stuff, though.

[Diddlify]

hihi lol , ich finds klasse aber ehrlich gesagt fänd ich es besser mit john

[GeorgeHarrison7]

Wow,his voice is great!

[emh26]

I really love this. And you can tell he really does too. :)

[WatsAVideo]

wats the song he wrote when he was 14?

[emh26]

The first song he wrote was 'I lost my little girl'. That one had words and all. But you might be thinking of 'When I'm sixty four'. He wrote the tune to that at 14 I think.

[fost6586]

Gene Vincent did write it and the funny thing is that I know Bill Mack the bass player with Gene at the time... but to have Paul McCartney preform this tribute to Gene and the band blows me away... Paul McCartney is friends with a friend of mine Bill you're the man Google bill Mack of Gene Vincent band

[Sunriseatnoon]

If Paul was any sexier, being sexy would likely be illegal!! I can't even look at him without a physical happening and his singing is just soooo awesome! Amazine this vid is sooo old!

[sherom]

There's only one McCartney !....Thanks for posting.

[fairmount1935]

@sherom

There was only one writer and perfomer of the song--Gene Vincent

Paul loved Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran --Paul listed this song as his number 3 favorite song

[swatkins246]

@fairmount1935 what are his number one and two favorites?

[evelynchallinor]

He really looks like he's having a good time. I love this song & of course, the John Lennon version=]

[CriticalListener]

Actually, the original song was Gene Vincent's, I believe.

[MissMiscellanea]

Yes, Gene Vincent's is the original. The Everly Brothers also did a good version. And, of course, Paul is great. None of them necessarily better than the other -- all good interpretations of a great song.

[jess1262]

its so funny how he sounds like elvis at parts...me and my friend were laughing sooo hard wen we heard this!!

[dchampagne]

When you listen to John Lennon's album (Call *Rock n Roll*) John's Version is even more a tribute to Elvis. Beatles met Elvis in the 60's at Graceland, played pool and Jamed a bit. but nothing more. Lennon and Ringo was the biggest Elvis fan!

[farizbinusian]

john sang this too..both of them are great!!

[HunterHeartbreak]

Yeah. Paul keeps the tune classic. His version sounds very identical to the original. John re-made the song with his own style. His is much more original. Both are great.

[MAGICO240]

Elvis style, great!

[RaiseTheFist]

nice

[DjahxD]

poooo

paul eh foda

(y)

[Bendout9620]

Good

[frostyhole2]

well put
