Letterman - Paul McCartney: "Let Me Roll It"

[CraploadOfPencils]

This is Music <3

[Sammyjackson1488]

Hey Sir Paul. By the year 2050, the white race will be a minority in America. African American crime is spiraling out of control. The whole country is degenerating at an accelrating pace. Why don't you write a song about this, you cunt?

[shadankster]

@Sammyjackson1488 what has your people done

[Rush1013]

@Sammyjackson1488

hahahahaha, what the fuck are you talking about? What does this have to do with anything you skin head scumbag prick? I looked at your channel comments and all you do is post this on music videos, get a life and stop being such a little bitch.

[everlybro84]

@casper116X I think you are over-reacting to my comment.

[ReCapo7771]

4 with me

[duketravel]

3 dislikes? WTF!

[mistermiracle73]

this is proof positive that cool shit can still happen in america.

[LeBartman]

His drummer has massive skill, but no one can replace Ringo. It would be awesome to see him behind that kit again.

[ajaxfilms]

wow!

[Mrproslayer1]

They should of had Ringo in there too.

[MrEudez]

el mismo paul mccartney pero con arrugas, y no pierde le estilo yeah!!!

[JoeKarmazynMusic]

That is such a beautiful les paul!

[petierose1]

wow! thanks for sharing this video! growing up in the beatles era, i really didnt care for them, i preferred the stones, zeppelin. but this song is awesome!

[whitegoat84]

everlybro...that makes me sad:(

[everlybro84]

@superb9 Probably, but in all honesty he is most likely looking at the people above them. Aside from that there are rumors that this song is somehow related to John from the vocal style, to the John-esqe reverb, and that Cold Turkey guitar riff. Anyways rock on bros and sisters! I love this live version!

[vividDC]

The Beatles were a force of Nature. They showed us that with enough love, you can do just about anything. There are hidden messages and meanings in many of their songs. To find out what they are, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read the section about The Beatles.

[mlkbeat]

My heart is like a wheel...

[CODallnightlong]

paul's sexy

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

THE "BEST" SONG TO ME FROM PAUL'S SOLO CAREER!!!!!!

[music4healings]

!!!!!!Nice!!!!

[robc90505]

its faul paul

[merkywave]

Paul needs to regroup with Julian Lennon , Donnie Harrison and ringo and make the Beatles Redux!!

[starlost1957]

@merkywave Paul's son, Dhani Harrison, Ringo Starr's son, & Julian Lennon & his other brother Lennon has the NEW GENERATION BEATLES

[starlost1957]

@merkywave Paul's son, Dhani Harrison, Ringo Starr's son, & Julian Lennon & his other brother Lennon has the NEW GENERATION BEATLES. Perform live in the Internet & undisclosed location in Liverpool, England.

[merkywave]

Paul neees to regroup with Julian Lennon , Donnie Harrison and ringo and make the BEatles Redux!!

[ralph1396]

Fuck anybody who talks shit about Paul McCartney. What the hell have YOU given the world, a-hole?

[AyashaYumi]

Favorite song from the Band On The Run album.

McCartney, you're simply awesome.

[Deel73]

another rooftop concert hell yeah!

[GonzoGuyy]

This is my favorite Paul McCartney solo song. I love, love, love this song.That is a pretty cool Les Paul Sir Paul is playing as well.

[Ralvacast]

3:13 "Hey so um...I was thinking... maybe I could get a raise?" "No. But you CAN check out this riff."

[Mbpennetti]

cant beat paul...genious :)

[divadede123]

the 1 person who disliked this video was obviously drunk or something.

[ktprryfinatic]

i love this song

[mrjoelphil]

this is when you know your at the top. when the streets of new york city pause for you and stare in awe. thank you for sharing this video

[Lenjia]

Pretty dead crowd...lol...I guess they are in shock!

[westftballstar31]

the guitar looks like a bit of a tribute to George, and his hand painted Strat "Rocky". not a replica but a creative pay of respect.

[kharmon367]

People in the streets, hanging out the windows...reminds me of the Get Back audition. There will never be another Paul McCartney or another group like the Beatles...

[jx14aby]

That riff is just nasty!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

I LOVE THIS TUNE AND VERSION!!!!!!

[everlybro84]

At 2:53 he looks up to John.

[o0TJ0o]

@everlybro84 :') he sure does.. rest in peace John.. you too George.. The world misses you.

[JohnLennonLover99]

@everlybro84 and George

[everlybro84]

@JohnLennonLover99 indeed

[1sababoy]

@everlybro84 I think he's actually looking at the Angelo's Pizza sign - he's hungry! ;-)

[PianoMan347]

@everlybro84 Or Maybe Linda

[lzrman134]

@everlybro84 He looks up to the people sticking their heads out of the windows above him.

[greenwich1754]

@lzrman134 Naw - He's looking out for New York's infamous pigeons.

[6superb9]

@everlybro84 Maybe, but probably to Linda....not John.

[TheP00pBandit]

@everlybro84 more likely Linda

[casper116X]

@everlybro84 He's just looking up at the people watching up and behind him- What would every give you the idea he's looking at John (who's been dead thirty years) of all people? Ghost, appartions? I think overactive imagination. Weird.

[Zimnyification]

@everlybro84 hate to ruin your burst of genius, but he's looking at the people in the windows above him.

[FaridNYC]

Prince is rather amazing

[microdon2]

WOW~~ McCartney kicked ASS on this song!!  LOVE to see him play guitar! And WHAT a COOL guitar, too!! Keep ROCKING, PAUL.

[AndreaLovesJoeJonas]

Please never leave us, Paul. <3

[smeghan1]

I agree that the performance is good.

OMG Paul

Stop the bad play on John (after all these years)(Imagine vs. Ram)



[langerguitarboy]

i hope i can do that when im reaching 70

[langerguitarboy]

i hope i can do that when im reaching 70

[fishheadmafia]

I gave my 16 year old daughter my original pressing of Sgt Pepper , and the White albums for Christmas one year. I thought I had given her the keys to a new car .

NO ONE , period , has as much class as Sir Paul , or any of the Fab Four .

ICONS ! ! 4 of the fabulous musicians that CONTINUE to dominate the world of ROCK AND ROLL ! !

[123456796]

Who disliked this?  They need kicked directly in the genetalia

[LeBartman]

@123456796 rolling stones Fan?

[6stringwood]

A huge rock star in his 60's and still has it going on. Even after all these years with the Beatles and his own band...he is still humble. The New York crowd that turned out for this event shows what an impact Paul has made on the world with his many years of music.

[6stringwood]

Look at the New York crowd that showed up to support Paul...this should show anyone the Paul McCartney is as huge today as he was in the days of the Beatles. He is one of the best wrters and composers of all time.

[rustdangel]

did they take it down, it looks like it's played half way thru but nothing is showing.

[WHEREtheFUNK]

-is NY a freaking cool town or what? people watching out of every window

[dunskie]

The man is the Tune-smyth of all Tunesmyths.

[westriverdriveband]

How freakin' good is this!!!!

[HorsefeathersNYC]

Um where was I that day? I work around the corner and I don't even remember this...

[ELVISETA1]

it took my breath away to see all the people on the streets......paul is like elvis or lennon, he is truely a legend

[Eligoliveira]

L. A. or N. Y.?

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

I forgot to mention GREAT footage as well as a great lineup of musicians for this modern day version,THANK YOU FOR SHARING"CBS"!!!!!!!!

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

THIS WAS A "B" SIDE ON A 45,THIS IS MY FAVORITE TUNE BY WINGS,I HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED TO SO CALLED "B" SIDES OR NON POPULAR RADIO SONGS OVER EVERYDAY SAME SONGS OVER AND OVER.

[MrMarkbennett]

THEE MAN.......PERIOD.

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

This is McCartneys' song from the Band on the Run Album. 

[vanhalen1223]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THAT 1 DISLIKE?!?!?!

[Gentsyetta]

@vanhalen1223 No F**KING idea!!!

[kcdrew69]

how cool would it be to be Paul McCartney?  cool

[dewutube2]

a rock legend!

[zairoxs]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk!!!!!!!­! can't take so much awesomeness!! 

[Sodahpop96]

I think one of his suspenders is a bit loose. I want to be that guitar

[Sodahpop96]

God, I love him in the pink shirt <3<3<3. So manly

[MegaChubbyboy]

I agree with the post about the music being the most important thing..not dancing, theatrics, and all that other bullshit you have today. Paul is a true musical genius; Justin Bieber is not.

[iwillrocknroll4eva]

:) "You gave me something I understand".....YOU!  waaaahooooo Paul!!!

[brofranomo]

This is nothing less than "badass."

[MrGuitarable]

i love how paul aged so gracefully. not many people look that good when they get older

[JohnMayerFan1020]

He still sounds the same even after his years of singing. This is why the Beatles are loved by everyone. Fuck modern pop. This is where it's at.

[Intrdmnsion]

@JohnMayerFan1020 Well, Paul's voice is still good. With respect, I can't say the same for Ringo XD

[ultrakool]

good thing steven tyler's not up there. he'd fall off

[TheTigersmom]

@ultrakool lmao.....Unfortunately, you may be right...

[Gentsyetta]

@ultrakool Na... No more drugs, man! And actually, Stephen is so straight he can do front AND back handstand-walkovers!

[THB79]

That has to be Abe on the drums.

[000clint]

that les paul is badass!

[1953jazzman]

I think this was McCartney's hardest rocker in his solo career - he didn't do it too often, but he could still throw off a good rocker when he wanted to!

[afbr2002]

When your old hippie dad picks up your 12" copy of Revolver and looks at Paul and says, "Yeah, he was cool" you know Paul had to be "cool".

[chi7aero4gm]

@afbr2002 that is soooo funny! great comment! my son is 19 and i think he thinks i'm pretty cool too so it is awesome to hear you say that! this has always been one of

my favorite "paul" songs

[tobasco30]

God i just hope i can stand up when im 67 years old and here paul is playing just as good as ever

[Gentsyetta]

@scottsrfun The stupidity is in your unwanted comment!!

[scottsrfun]

@Gentsyetta true

[Basesloaded4]

It's cool Paul ...

Let ME roll it.

[kypoppa]

im hearing rumor that all beatle siblings Zach Starkey, julian lennon,dahari harrison  , james mccartney will be in band lineup for the 2011 tours saw it in london papers,its said that they have been all together in studio and that they are there fathers clones vocally and musicallly

[longboarder1960]

@kypoppa ..... Wow, I havent heard that before.

Oh Yea - the Beatles second comming, thats soo cool !!!

Cant wait to hear them !!!

[muskokan59]

@kypoppa Holy crap. That is the best idea I have ever heard!!

[Gentsyetta]

@kypoppa Actually, George's son's name is Dhani!

[longboarder1960]

One of my favorite McCartney songs of ALL TIME !

Heavy Lennon influence

[JerichoDitch2]

@longboarder1960 correct ... this song was Paul's response to Lennon's How Do You Sleep ? a song he wrote about Paul.... Paul mimicked Lennon's reverb vocal technique.

[ultrakool]

@JerichoDitch2 uh huh. instant karma got him. happy b-day, johnny

[ruskybalboa]

I bet the Jonas Brothers drove by and they said, "Fuck, why can't we play or write like that...oh, i've got an idea, let's steal the Beatles songs!"

[ThatWasFred]

Of course, the police aren't gonna stop him this time...shame...

[MusicLuverGirl4life]

Theres 1 person thats stupid

[anthonycrystal33]

where's the other paul?

[Gentsyetta]

@anthonycrystal33 What?!

[anthonycrystal33]

@Gentsyetta  Paul Schaefer, who usually always jams with the musical guests! Mac is AmAzInG even at 68!

[richdys]

Possibly one of my favorite lesser known Mccartney songs. . . . Guy can still rock. . Love the fact they let cabs come down 7th ave during the performance. Only in New York. $15 cab ride from uptown to 23 rd st and onh by the way we throw in the McCartney Concert for free. . . Have a nice day and be sure to tip your driver.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

The only drawback with Paul's stage performances is that he doesn't dance or do anything entertaining while he sings. The ultimate would be if he danced like Michael Jackson or someone like that when he sang or during the solos. I couldn't just stand there and just sing to thousands of people, knowing that I could give them SO much more.

[ruskybalboa]

@wilsondylanmccartney dude....the beatles were more famous than michael jackson even though they DIDN'T do the stupid dancing shit. It's pretty cool that thousands of people listen to him when he DOESN'T dance....he's bad ass!

[firetaker25]

Hasn't he lived too long? I thought, liked a failed Senator, that he was supposed to die at 57. What do I do now? Curses!!!! I'm undone. My cake is dough on both sides. Oh, well, let me collect my composure! Let us cut Social Security this winter! Confound all of the little folks! Yes! That's what I'll do to punish them. Why didn't they keep me for life! I'll get those little voters, those little scum....

[rjpancerniCAUSA]

Same as his mentor, LIttle Richard, Pablo orders the band to wear black, while the Beatle wears 'color'.

Mr. 'Little' fired Jimi Hendrix for wearing a 'colored' shirt. L.R.s band had to wear white only.

Where is Ringo when ya need him?

[Gentsyetta]

@rjpancerniCAUSA He's singing "IT Don't Come Easy!"

[MagicalMysteryTube]

The drummer is a kick to watch! I gotta get me a set of those PM drums he's playin!

[emaclynch]

he is a great big phoney!!!!!!!!!!!

[er6789er]

Pure Love - That is all I can say - thank You for the post!!!

[22infantryblue]

To call Sir Paul good or great is an insult, He is ICON status.....

[ItsJustMeManda]

for an old guy he ROCKS!

[lloorr111]

Im speechless~~I luv u all all of the fab 4``1111

[beatlesforever123456]

thumbs up if you think paul mccartney is the best musician ever

[guitarconasor]

@beatlesforever123456 I thought it was Mozart.

[erik5623]

@beatlesforever123456 

[lifeson241]

@beatlesforever123456  THE BEST, BAR NONE !!!!

[guy070467]

on letterman? sacastic humor against someone who is dead? good bye your finished in my book u washed up has been...

[driverdad71]

"hello, boss? Yeah, can't make it in today. Paul friggin McCartney is jammin' outside my apartment right now in front of , oh, about 100,000 people. Y'know, this kinda shit happens all the time." No boss or wife would buy this story in a million years. Amazing

[slowhandjjg]

Who's the one moron that didn't like this?

[1xxmorganxx1]

at his concert he use that guitar cool guitar it has faces on it

[flakbac]

im surprised he wsnt demanding everybody pay admission hes usually a real money hungry prick all you need is love go fuck yourself

[TheAlaskanWonder]

@flakbac Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about John Lennon. He preaches of no possessions as he plays in his mansion with his white grand piano and fur coat.

[JohnPaulSaylor]

@TheAlaskanWonder He actually moved into a modest hotel suite later on. He only lived in the mansion for like two years. 69-71. Then Ringo lived there.

[Gentsyetta]

@flakbac Take your own advice! Go listen to your 'bloody wanker' music!

[laidout]

simply the best singer. he's ridiculous.

[Tyler18GoPhils]

@caulinrocker I saw Paul on Saturday and the keyboardist even whipped out a guitar on a couple of tracks! His band is truly great.

[TheHummingbird61]

Paul Mc Cartney and or the Beatles on their worst day were better than most of the crap today.

[serotoninsyndrome]

Just like during the Let It Be rooftop performance, there are still people going by down below on foot, in cars and taxis, that don't stop, don't look up, don't notice, won't remember. SOUND ASLEEP.

[Msdistarr]

These folks KNOW how to play an instrument. They sound amazing and Paul looks and sounds great. This was my fav song when it came out. It was the reason I bought the album. Loved it!!

[ElFutre02]

Una guarangada de tema.... bestial, groso, COOL !!!!!

Claro... original.... suena mejor..... golpea mas !!!

[noose1974]

I so wish that YouTube would let me give two thumbs up right now.

[drawsandstuff]

There's a great song he did called "No words"....has he done it lately? His music seems to get punchier and more powerful as he gets older!

[beatlesastar]

Look see, what did I say about something like this.

:)

[TomatoDreams]

Still can't believe how amazing his voice still is.

Also, his drummer cracks me up.

[64ah]

now thats a les paul ^.^

[4FabBEATLES]

the lame interview made Paul's performance even better he was so thrilled to be done with the dull and ridiculous stuff

[kypoppa]

@4FabBEATLES Im pretty sure pauls pointing at that girl at the far left side of stage ,,looked like he said to rusty HER!? like whos that bird and maybe didnt want her there

[ArniepII]

The best song Paul ever did live or otherwise! I love the whole setting, groove, etc. Heart pounding at its finest. I play this evernight before I turn off the computer for the night. Simply ass kicking!

[dark1p]

I remember when band on the run came out, I loved it. it is funny, tho, that people love this song so much in particular, since at the time it was well known to be a parody of lennon's plastic ono band style. paulie shoulda done some more of them, mighta served him well.

[write2topcat]

One of his better post Beatles songs

[augustsson0621]

Love Paul McCartney's Let Me Roll It on Live In The US....Paul you are beautiful and ageless. Not eating anything with a face is keeping you young. We should all be so wise.

K.S. Augustsson

[tabitwin]

the people playing with him had to be having the time of their lives

[Earthlinked]

Future generations will study McCartney and his music as we study Bach and Beethoven today!!! Rarely does a good musician also have a pitch perfect voice - AND - can write hit songs for over 40 years!!!!!!!!!!! Actually - it has never happened before!!!!!!!!! McCartney is worth about $2 billion - and earned ever shilling - and he is still just having fun!!!!!!

[OgreDaddy]

If you want to enjoy Paul and crew doing all of this stuff live, buy or rent

the Paul McCartney - Live at Red Square DVD.

I saw the 2009 show at Fed Ex Field, front row It was glorious! :-)

[MrKelseyDude]

Man I agree, it was a real gyp this concert wasn't featured in total on Letterman. This song really takes me back to good times. Many Thanks!

[rcpmac]

Thanks to Dave and CBS for allowing this content and so much more to stay on YouTube!

[Moseyisms]

One of my fav McCartney songs ~ he is just too amazing for words! I LOVE YOU PAUL!! <3

[wenaCarril]

D�wnl�ad this in awesome quality now just Search Google 'TheNewsBuzz"

[TSaxman74]

I read that Paul was sort of mimicking John Lennon's penchant for simplistic tunes and vocals.

He succeeded.

[dodgerkitty]

Anyone know who is in Paul's band these days? Looks like a new lineup of musicians and they definitely sound tight playing together!

[Rus818]

GREAT SONG GREAT WAY TO DO IT EVERYTIME I HEAR A SONG LIKE THIS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD HAVE SOUNDED AS a "BEATLE" SONG

[ckellettmn]

Best song ever. My favorite. Both song and performer. :)

[4FabBEATLES]

at 3:15 the guitarist whispers something to Paul- I wonder what?

[blake1202]

@4FabBEATLES i love pauls work, but when it comes to his personality, he is def egotistical. Looks to me like paul pointed for him to go back to his spot away from center stage, and the guitarist made something up to say so he wouldnt look dumb

[4FabBEATLES]

@blake1202 looking at it I think you may be right since after Paul points at the other end of the  stage the guitarist (Rusty) starts exagerating his movements and everything as if he's trying ot get attention while following directions
