  • i like the wings version better than the beatles its way better

  • <3 my idol<3

  • me gustaria conseguir ese video en dvd, seria unas de mis colecciones

  • Brilliant

  • I love WINGS!!! Always a faBuLouS band with aMazinG live performances :)

    Thanks Paul! ;)

  • Just fabulous after all these years!  And geeeesh it's a Hofner bass, period!

  • Too bad...The real Paul McCartney would've nailed this version...good try by Faul though.....listen to the album version.....clearly two different tones of voice....

  • @mickeyelsalsero thats because he is playing it live. when ya sing in the studio, its double tracked, maybe some echo on it etc. im used to it. my singer sounds different live. Hes just singing it differently than he originally done it

  • @mickeyelsalsero So you're saying Faul wrote all those Sgt Pepper to Abbey Road songs? Maybe I'm Amazed, Ram, BOTR?

  • Look at how agile young Paulie was!

  • what a voice

  • macca = mr. Melody

  • I remember the NY Post stating "The Beatles Back Together" before this concert. It was a big rumor at the time. That of course didn't happen but we got some great songs from McCartney!

  • @Burco1 It almost happened. In the Summer of 1979, the UN asked the Beatles to reunite for a concert to raise money for the Kampuchean refugees. They each agreed at first, but George and later John changed their minds - they were afraid it would start "Beatlemania II" which they wanted no part of. So Paul organized this series of concerts in London instead, featuring Wings, The Pretenders, The Who and other British rockers to raise money for the "boat people".

  • He was on his A game for this whole concert bass wise, best bass playing ive ever heard from paul

  • HE always had a sexy voice but ESPECIALLY in this video..mmm <3

  • ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. no wonder peter loves him.

  • Whoever thinks Paul McCartney was replaced has obviously never seen this video.

  • I want him sooo bad

  • @Sodahpop96 oh my god! i hear ya. i got a thing for hot bass players too!

  • the venue is the Hammersmith Apollo in West London.He's appearing there on Saturday 18th December 2010.His first appearance back at this venue,since the above concert

  • What is NBA Hall of Famer Wes Unseld doing playing the trombone?

  • how many strings have that bass???? 4 or 5???

  • @Berenueve 4

  • what bass is he playing?

  • @timjob2014 it's yamaha

  • @LennMacca93 What kind?

    

  • @timjob2014 Yamaha BB1200

  • pauls vocals are incredible in this. what a good song

  • After a robust start Paul's voice begins to faulter at about the 1:12 point. He rallies behind the falsetto high points but can only grunt out the down scale as he approaches the chorus. Must be tough reality. Growing old. McCartney had an amazing voice as a young man. Despite Lennon's dismissive attitude toward's McCartney's vocals, Paul had amazing range and tailored it to fit numerous styles. The original features a flawless vocal as Paul hits numerous ascending and descending notes.

  • @SOLISDEUS Lennon never had a dismissive attitude toward McCartney's vocals. Give me some quotes about that. Also I don't see any discernible deterioration after 1:12 at all. The "say we'll be together every day ey" he hits the note he was supposed to hit though he sings it slower than he should and slower than the recording. But that is very minor. He hits the really difficult high notes and sustains them like they were nothing. I think the "tough growing old" idea is overstated here.

  • Does paul died?

  • @thinchris paul mccartney still alive!!!..and please you have to listen to his new work .. Framed is a fusion of electronic music with classical music and experimental progressive dyes .. is a masterpiece.. the fireman "electric arguments"!!!

  • @cesarmeral1982 Did paul did dead?

  • @thinchris no... some people think he's dead 'cause, some idiots say that.. but he is alive.. he's living his great and creative life..check his album electric arguments.. please and an others last albums like memory almost full, chaos and creation in the backyard, and his classic album ecce cor meum

  • @cesarmeral1982 Didn't paul is die done?

  • @thinchris paul is alive.. "paul is dead" is a hoax, no one can prove it. google it for more information, or just check it on wikipedia.

  • @wisnuops Does paul did die is dead done?

  • @thinchris he's 68 years old and still doing great beautiful music.. he's mozart, classic music of XX century, he's the beatles, he's the genius, he's SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY...

  • @cesarmeral1982 Didn't paul did died dead done didn't he?

  • I guess maybe mullets did evolve in the late 70s.

  • @beatlesfan1971 Steve Holly

  • Man, this rocks. It jumps, it's hot. Paul blows the roof off the house again.

  • @beatlesfan1971 suring the 1979 tour the lineup was: Wings' lineup for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine (lead guitar/so-songwriter with Paul), Laurence Juber, and Steve Holly (drums).

  • Steve Holly was the last Wings drummer

  • thought this was a earth wind and fire song.well shit on me.

  • why did wings split?? wings was like equal paul mccartney solo. so why split it anyway?

  • pauls pot bust in japan

  • @poepper Paul got arreseted in Japan for carrying drugs, which Paul said he in a way just made happen because he was tired of the band since the band was arguing and being jealous nad just not getting along, then finally Denny Laine left after arguing with Paul a few times...but Paul formed a new "wings" band which he made a ocmeback with and hten he has another new Wings band and works with other famous musicians on his own too---such as Paul's new work as "the Fireman"

  • Right on Sir Paul ! You were like a musical refuge when rock music seemed to be running its course during the late 1970's !!

    Great production values on this song ! Horns, guitars...

  • AWESOME VERSION! I LOVE THE BASS!

  • Those guys are so fired..! In another month there'll be no more Wings. Enjoy it while you can Denny!!

  • too bad too

    i prefer wings over mccartney solo

  • @venusNmars Never pondered over that dilemma, but I think I do too... Interesting point of view. Cheers.

  • @jeffscottmusic Denny Laine was one reason there never was a Wings reunion actually- he and Paul didn't get along well at the end

  • Pardon me please, can anyone tell me WHO is playing drums?????

  • ,,thats Paul's twin brother nobody ever speaks of, he only comes out when the moment is right.

  • hahaha yeah, how'd you know what I was thinking...LOL! Too funny...& thanks for the laugh ^___^...I most definitely could use alot more of those.

  • @PupuTheClown  LOL

  • Steve Holley

  • Steve Holley

  • Hi... I looked at your page and couldn't see where to contact, and I don't really do the YouTube Fan thing, but I wanted to answer this.

    It's not Geoff Britton, and looks like a younger Joe English ( from the Jimi Hendrix Experience briefly), but the correct analysis must be that it is STEVE HOLLEY, who joined Wings in the late 1970's and added quite a kick to the retinue, didn't he ?

    I saw your page....wonderful

  • Why, thank you very kindly...You are too kind. :)

  • @rocnrollurisback Wings' lineup for the 1979 tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine (lead guitar/ co-songwriter), Laurence Juber, and Steve Holly (DRUMS).

  • great vid !!!!

  • This song confirms Paul as one of the greatest if not the greatest songwriter ever. From Revolver in 1966 - still sounds like something that could have been released today. Revolver distanced The Beatles from their peers in th '60s.

  • @stimpp I think Rubber Soul already did that before Revolver

  • @stimpp i dont think a songwriter should be judged by how their song sounds in newer generations of listeners. for example someone of todays generation would disclaim mozart or beethoven of being incredible composers and yet they are intrinsically good composers. if they are not viewed by the majority of our generation as being great composers then does that make them bad composers, would that make gaga or one of the newest crazes better composers?

  • Wow, i never seen this before. Great. But i love the sound of hofner bass more.

  • @JotheBytle When they recorded the Revolver album I think Paul was using the Rickenbacker bass in the studio and not the Hofner. Not completely sure though?

  • @marvsmooth Probably true. Paul put aside the Hofner around this time because he thought the Rickebacker sounded better. He brought the Hofner back for the Get Back/Let It Be filming in early 1969 then put it aside again until Elvis Costello suggested he use it in the video for My Brave Face. Paul has been using an updated version of the original Hofner bass ever since.

  • @observer9670 An updated version, my a*s. Prove it, Mr. know-it-all.

  • @JotheBytle The bass HE played was a Hohner, the hofner is the american made knockoff

  • @Disco32er I know you're just being plain silly with your silly jive-a*s comment, you turkey. Your b.s. doesn't fool me, mister.

  • @crapple009 I wasnt being mean? Im just saying... Jeez you gotta get, whatever it is, out of your ass.

  • @Disco32er Well your info is just plain wrong, that's all. Didn't mean to come down on you like I did- I'm sorry.

  • @crapple009 No, actully, I have a couple books on Paul, and there is one with all the different guitar brands. And I went to the hofner page and saw nothing of Paul McCartney, so I turned the page and saw a picture of him, but that page was about HOHNER, and it said something about Paul McCartney owning a hohner harmonica, and then a caption on the picture said, "Paul McCartney with his Hohner bass"

  • @Disco32er That was definitely a typo (unsurprisingly and logically so, as the two brands only differ by only one consonant) . McCartney's bass was/ is a German-made Hofner. It's been very, very much documented. Check out Beatles gear by Andy Babiuk, the bible of all the instruments used by the Beatles. Hohner harmonicas, yes (Lennon played one). Hohner basses, no. Btw, I own five Hofners.

  • @crapple009 It couldnt be a typo, because page 46 was about Hofner instruments, and page 47 was about Hohner instuments

  • @Disco32er Fine- end of this dead-end converation. Believe what you want to believe-I could care less at this point. See ya.

  • @Disco32er listen mate. its hofner. look it up. he played a hofner bass

  • @Disco32er Did you born yesterday? you are just joking right?...

  • @ecapdeville "Did I born yesterday?" Pretty bad grammar JS, and no, I have a book of all the guitar brands and the people who played them, and there is a page about HOFNERS and it has all the basic information and shit, and on the NEXT page, is a brand called HOHNER, and it has an enlarged photograph of Paul McCartney, and in the caption it read, "Paul McCartney playing his Hohner bass." No joke bro, thats what it says. I dont know, and I really dont care, im JUST SAYING.

  • @Disco32er He did play a Hofner as well.. I have a book about Paul McCartney and it was a Hofner.. but all artists have many guitars so Yeah he played a hohner as well... Not fighting, just thought I'd help contribute, so please don't take it as an offensive comment or nothing, not trying to do anything like that, just spreading some facts:)

  • Theis is my Favortie Beatles Song. I wish I could find a video of THEM singing it, but I still love paul :)

  • love this song period.....also love the base and vocals...what can I say....huge fan

  • simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I LOVE YOU PAUL!!! ^^

  • I LOVE this SONG :D

  • Thanks for posting. Good live version.

  • best version of this song imho

  • It's probably the best version because of the vocals, heavy bassline, and heavy guitar riffs.
