  • i think linda should a.... let paul do his own thing for this one haha

  • D-do people not realize that she isn't trying to sing? She can sing much better. Go listen to HER FUCKING RECORD and before you wanna comment on someones singing, listen to othert songs they've fucking recorded yeah, it's a fucking skiffle song, that means you aren't supposed to sing like fucking aretha.

  • linda estorba

  • @BrandonColon I agree that criticism does come with the territory. But there's such a thing as being cruel. A lot of the criticism is unnecessary. And can't "help" the person in any way. All it would do is cause them to feel like crap

  • As usual, sir Macca butchered his own song...

  • Seventies Paul is so cute

  • "Something to tap your feet to."

    Hah, I bet this will be a P. M. song I don't tap my feet to.

    12 seconds in...

    holy shit, my foot is tapping.

  • ok,I do like Linda McCartney(but I don't like Yoko),I think she was a fine musician and really helped Paul to keep up whith his career,but she doesn't have a nice voice,and I am not saying this because I would like to fuck Paul McCartney or because like to insult The Beatles wives,is because she really can't sing!

  • @tapeatsbill

    Um. Excuse me? Bob Dylan is AMAZING. I love the Beatles AND Bob Dylan. And you think you're a Beatles fan. You have to like Bob if you like the Beatles. Had such a huge influence on them. So next time you put down someone famous, think. I'm just stating facts.

  • OH YEA I REMEMBER BURNOUTS WERE ON THEIR KNEES

  • Everyone who insults Linda: You're just jealous she slept with Paul McCartney every night - and you didn't. ;)

  • @redoctober90 and because she had his babies and we didnt ;)

  • aaahhh he looked so happy with her by his side!

  • Linda has a bad voice? Well let's see? Was okay by Paul. And who was that other guy with the bad voice?  Oh yeah, Bob Dylan I think his name is.

  • rest in peace linda !! paul mccartney must have really loved this lady to take her own his tours across the world , i am just glad paul kept the beatles music going on after the beatles break up !!! even though its wings he will always be known as a beatle !!! linda sounded okay to me in this song!! who knows linda might have encouraged paul to keep playing the beatles music after the beatles broke up along with his solo songs .

  • I'm watching this, trying to do last minute homework, and failing. Paulie, you're sooo distracting!!!!!!!!

  • Umm, is pauls guitar tuned up to F# standard? I know this song is in A, but he's playing a G? Maybe he's doing it a step down? I'm curious now.

  • liiil jimmy norton is impotent :(

  • Hey, what the hell? You love John, but you hate Yoko, you love Paul, but you hate Linda... You're just jealous! Those are their lives, not yours, so don't throw shit over the fence! Leave them a personal space to live. Or maybe you want YOUR personal life to be discussed? Respect people around you in the way you want them to respect you.

  • well said friend. the golden rule rules.

  • You Should'nt hate Linda if you are McCartney fan,she gave him inspiration for so many nice songs that we enjoy today,I woul'nt like to discuss her singing,she suffered and died of Cancer all I can say is "God bless her soul"

  • i think that all the people of the world sound like shit if you sing at the same time that Paul, i mean is like a candle compare with the Sun

  • hmm, i dont get it? she sounds fine to me

  • lol hating on someone who died from cancer...you people are sick

  • Linda Sucks Balls.

  • LINDA , LINDA , LINDA

    SHE IS THE BEST OF BEST.

  • i love linda, but some tape around her mouth wouldve worked quite well

  • I actualy liked Linda's voice.

  • Shut up about linda not being able to sing. paul brought her on stage because he loved her and she obviously had fun doing it. so shut the fuck up

  • Get 'em tiger!

  • her voice blends perfectly with paul's you twat suckers

  • Linda IS supposed to sing like that, no one can sing like that on porpouse. She is part of the chorus vocals, that's why.

  • @agostovgin I think she's attempting harmony.

  • @c4r50n1 Key word there is attempting. With respect for both Paul and Linda, she could have done a better job. But, oh well.

  • @ThatOneMusicGuy789 I agree with you, man. I don't think she could sing. It's sad because she was a beauty.

  • Are both 12 strings, Ovation? And can you site your reference?

  • dont diss someone who's gone no.1 no. 2. i thought she did quite well , was just telling a buddy hey if your buzzed and playing and the crowd is buzzed as well it balances out. but if your buzzed and the crowd is straight GOD HELP US ALL!!!! hehehe so put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

  • Linda sounds like shit

  • Oh I'm sorry @megantomydeath, I was just defending someone. I'm sorry I'm not trying to make fun of someone I don't even know, and who was actually an amazing person, regardless of her musical talent.

  • Seriously sounds like a deaf mute singing over Paul ;)

  • For all the people complaining about lovely Linda: yeah, her voice is off and slightly annoying, but it's not as if she does it in EVERY song. I mean, think about it: who would you rather have up there, Linda or Yoko? (AHHHAHAHHAHAHAIAIAIAIAHAHAHAH­AIAHAIAHAI)

  • Linda is so beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • Paul and Linda's voices (as John & Yoko's) were blended with love, and if I think they were all beautiful!

  • at least linda wasnt fucking faking her voice (to the haters!)

  • What people need to realize is that Linda is singing the right right harmony notes, which is hard in itself...her pitch is just shaky and not exact...but the notes are there, somewhat.

  • Learning to sing, and learning to sing through a PA in a 100,000 seat stadium are two different skills. Linda was enormously bright and capable and ready to take on all challenges. And she is very missed.

  • The thing of it is...when she did sing on-key, the harmonies she did with Denny Laine on things like "Bluebird" were actually really good. Maybe they had shitty monitors at this gig, but anyway you slice it, she's not very good here, and I bet if she would alive to critique this, she'd agree.

    That being said, singing harmony takes a lot of practice. You don't walk out of stage without putting in the time and sound like The Eagles, you know? And she got better as time went on.

  • I think Linda was always lovely. Just watch, save your criticism.

  • Both John and Paul should have left the women at home. Linda is far better than a screeching Yoko, however.

  • Shitty backup singer... Completely off-key!

  • Poor Linda! She sucks!

  • With Linda's voice here, this reminds me of one of those Ozark-family-type shows that do knee-slappers and stomp their feet. She's way off pitch here, but generally, I like her vocal contributions to Paul's records.

  • I love Linda.

  • This is where she needs to say Paul, I insist, dear, If I came to see you, I would not want to hear me.

  • i swear paul was very better of with himself <3

  • What? 99% of the people in the world can't do harmonies.

  • Firstly, She sounded fine maybe strained a bit but she's not horrible.

    Secondly, he didn't love her for just her singing voice. If he did then how shallow would that be? No it was because of her personality. My mom met her once and she said that Linda was so extremely nice and that the two of them were very in love.

  • what are ya'll talking about linda's voice is better than 90% of the people on the earth

  • Honestly, all I have to say is fuck everyone who insults Linda. Yes, her voice isn't perfect, but who are you to criticize her? I guarantee half the people who say she's bad can't sing themselves. And even if you do think she's terrible, why can't you just keep it to yourself? Why do you have to blast it all over the internet? No respect for people who do things like that.

  • @cantbeatTheBeatles The Internet is for conversation. If you want a one way street go talk to yourself in the mirror.

  • @cantbeatTheBeatles well said mate

  • @cantbeatTheBeatles

    You're right that we ourselves cannot sing, but the difference is that we know better than to go on a stage, or worse, a record, and sing with any professional singer, let alone with Paul McCartney. That is why she deserves to be blasted. In fact it is really Paul who should be blasted here. He should know better. So, we have the right to blast her. If she and he have the nerve to let her on that stage, knowing full well how much she sucks, then tough. She sucks.

  • @cantbeatTheBeatles Well when people go into the world of professional music they are aware that they will get criticism both positive and negative. Personally, as a musician myself, the negative criticism really helps. So even though cant play or sing they can still hear and have the right to say whatever they please about anyone. Saying something truthful isnt disrespectful. It's expected. If they call her a dumb bitch then ya...thats a different story.

  • @cantbeatTheBeatles Dude... What the hell is the point of the internet if not to express your opinion?

    I disagree with the hate, but I don't want there to not be any hate. It'd be boring if eveybody just agreed with each other.

  • omg, that girls voice is annoying

  • lastima el perro ladrando que tenia a su derecha.... haha

  • Linda did ok.. not a bad voice.. she' just didn't have strong vocals..

  • Paul didnt give a fuck if she could sing or not, he loved her and was going to have her on stage with him no matter what, and i admire that, the same way i admire John always loving Yoko after all the negative criticism.

  • she sings really horrible :)

  • Love is Blind and Deaf but she was Pretty and did not take millions from him that was not earned LOL

  • Linda can't sing :( At least in this performance

  • Linda <3

  • Dude, fucking power mullet, Paul McCartney can do anything.

  • Sir Paul in action--Brilliant!!

  • This is awesome and hilarious. The argument about whether Paul or John is better has pretty much run its course--now let's argue about whether Linda or Yoko was worse (as musicians, of course--I don't think I've every heard or seen a single unkind word about Linda as a human being). And, yes: amazingly, they somehow manage to be fully as bad as their husbands are good!

  • @polkabats easy one this. Watch Yoko at Rock N' Roll Circus. While Linda here manages to screw up a song with (mostly) Paul on it, Yoko manages to screw up on with Dirty Mac counting John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchell! Now if that's not talent at screwing up music, please some one tell me! One thing it isn't is pretty though..

  • @hexcane It seems everyone in the business at the time says you're wrong. Martins & others were always available but they weren't used. Ovations with their built-in electronics sounded better and were easier to run direct into the soundboard.

  • aawww Linda

  • this was the best lineup of Wings. Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, and most importantly Jimmy McCulloch. Drummers in Wings were never that great or important in my opinion os it doenst matter.

  • Paul McCartney, that's all i have to say

  • dose any body know what guitar he is using ?

  • @jpasdi1999 I think it is an Ovation

  • @jpasdi1999 its an ovation 12 string

  • Well.... her voice is better than Yoko's

  • @albusdd2241 one thousand more times tha yoko, and even wit that, the linda´s voice is horrible

    :S

  • AH, when Ovation guitars were in everyone's hands.

  • He was just so very right! He`s Paul McCartney ( that meaning he could do whatever he wanted ) and he loved her. Good on him for taking her everywere with him!

  • Ha ha ha !! Well, she got to be up there with Paul even though she cannot sing and cannot follow the beat clapping hands!! But, God bless her, that did not stop her. And to Paul, dude, that was real love! Thumbs up to you !!

  • i don't like wings! i vote dislike for this video.

  • Oh my God. Shut up about Linda and Yoko and all that shite. They're still better than Ringo.

  • @JoshPoshGAH

    No...Ringo is really quite talented. Linda knew she wasn 't (musically...she could take some cool photos). Yoko (and John) were completely delusional thinking that she had even an once of musical talent

  • @LTF6161 HA HA FO REAL REAL?

    It's called a joke, for one thing. Furthermore, Yoko's music was intentionally avant-garde, the highest form of art.

  • @JoshPoshGAH

    avant-garde means cutting edge meaning others will follow and popularize the style. Who in heck popular in any way resembled Yoko? Ah! Your joking again! Get it (b/c no rational person could think what she produced was art) Good one!

  • @LTF6161 I admit, most of her music isn't kind to the ear, but avant-garde music has consistently pushed the boundaries of the mainstream. Paul McCartney himself was deeply inspired by the avant-garde (most evident on Revolver).

  • @JoshPoshGAH haahahah so funny. gotta love ringo jokes! :D

  • paul rulz!!! and linda is just HOT

  • linda was a TERRIBLE singer, tone deaf and brilliant at hitting all the wrong notes at the wrong time. BUT she was 50 times better than that thing that lennon was with. yoko ono. you know, the one that that screeched like a fucking witch being burned at the stake. despite linda's lack of musical ability, she was an absolute star compared to yoko OH NO.

  • @nuipret you REALLY don't like women, and I would take the bet that they don't care for you much either.

  • @ArcadianQueen lol!!! i LOVE women, and fortunately for me, thy have always loved me! why do you say such a stupid thing? because i spoke the truth and said linda mac and yoko o couldn't sing? now you are either tone deaf or just plain idiotic, but how can you deny otherwise? are you a dyke? my guess is you are! otherwise why make a claim of me not liking chicks? i have had over 200 girlfriends and had some brilliant relationships with the wonderful species called woman!

  • @nuipret and another thing ; you said in your INTERESTS section that you want friends who . . . "show no ignorance or lack of basic human kindness. in other words be a DECENT person!"

    How is this noble sentiment reflected in this part of your post: "BUT she was 50 times better than that thing that lennon was with. yoko ono. you know, the one that that screeched like a fucking witch being burned at the stake."

    Nice. I'm sure this brings decent people rushing to be your friend.

  • @ArcadianQueen i'm one of the very few people on here that won't lie about themselves ...OR ANYONE ELSE! i am an extremely good guy with a good heart and an even better SOUL. all my pals (of both sexes) are great people. mmmm.... you truly DO hate guys dontcha? lol!!!

  • I actually think it's cute how off Linda is. Honestly, I do. Sue me. Because it makes me love Paul even more. Let's be honest, we're here for Paul, aren't we? His talent is insurmountable and his and Linda's love story is worth the music he made with her. In my eyes, with his power, Paul has given her the golden veto in the music world. @soaringvulture said it in a nutshell.

  • Considering that most of today's music is auto-tuned, I think Linda did a pretty rocking job!

  • SHe's not terrible. And it was his wife and his band. It's not like people were headed for the exits. So whats the problem.

  • wow, she CAN'T! why is she singing?

  • Jesus Christ, my ears are bleeding! Thanks, Linda...

  • She sucks!!

  • Linda looks good and sounds good in this clip. Linda's vocals are well-placed in many Wings songs and add to the character of the songs, like "Silly Love Songs", a #1 hit.

    Somebody said Linda is "flat as shit" at 1:16. She looks pretty well-endowed to me. All natural, too.

    As to Linda playing the keyboard; the experts can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe she had some lessons while she was in school. I'm sure she had to work on it to be proficient enough to get up on stage and play.

  • @NewShimmer I believe "flat as shit" is referring to her voice, not her chest...

  • Anyone complaining about Linda....go over and watch John Lennon Yer Blues live from Toronto and listen to Yoko do whatever it is she is doing. That is, if you can endure the entire song.

  • @york1876 In total agreement while lmao at your most apt comment!

  • at least they could spend more time with each other - they were together even on the stage.

  • NICE!!!!!

  • I like Linda I really do :), but I just want to hear Paul sing thank you.....

  • Linda was inserted in the Band by Paul (even she wasn´t agree) and John had been convinced by Yoko that would want to sing with The Beatles. This was the difference!

  • I am with Paul, if i was famous and traveling i would put my girl in the band with me, lucky for me mine can sing lol

  • @ScullyboyDX excellent comment. It isn't right for the women to have to stay home during the whole tour.

  • all that mattersisactions- Linda tried hard jsut ot please Paul and she supported and encourage Paul to make music she never was mean to anyone and never asked ot be in the band she even was honest enough to say she wasn't that good of a singer- she was a loyal wife and photogrpaher and the nicest person Paul could have as a wife

  • Linda was nice and she loved and cared for Paul instead of stealing his money and stuff.she never played music beforeyet for Paul she learned to play keyboard nad tried her best to learn how to do stuff-her only album "wide prairie" is beautiful- she did eventually learn how to sing better and paul finished the album for her after she died becuase he loved her so much- they had true love and were happy. Linda gave Paul love and 3 great kids of his own- and she inspired many Wings songs. RIP L.

  • i dont think she did that bad, ive heard worse, but i bet there isnt a lot of her in pauls monitor :P

  • He did a skiffle version of a folk song...

  • the beatles are a perfect example to show that to enjoy your youth while you still have your energy and your high spirits

  • Linda wasn't singer for sure!!! it's clear she got involed only to be with Paul and enjoy herself..i dont think i'd done any better Job than her...BUT she's still no Yuko ono

  • Linda, bless her heart, is flat as shit at 1:16.... It's always in "and she keeps calling"... notice Paul looks over at her for a sec.

  • i will say this about linda mcartney: she is a better singer then yoko.

  • @pbrick6301 That's for sure hahaha

  • @pbrick6301 Yeah. I also can't think of a single offensive thing she ever said to anyone.

  • I Love u Paul!!!!!!

  • fair enough Katrin. Im sure members of the KKK are also Beatles fans...no reason why any of you should be silenced.

  • Katrin - go screw yourself with that sh**! Dont take this lovely music and associate it with your horrible racism. Fine you are not a fan of Yoko Ono....that has nothing to do with this music. Shame on you.

  • There been discussed different subjects.

    Dont silence me.

  • Linda was splendid woman as opposed to asian bitch. Paul*s fans-you know who i mean.

    All of them were very good wifes except of one.

  • i'm sorry but i'll never underrate John this way, adfirming he wasn't able to choose a good wife who fit right for him.

  • whats up with both lennon and mccartney putting their wives in the band? At least pauls wife can sing... not like lennons better half

  • @ApeWithBone - Linda's out of tune here actually!

  • @zephyrquartz I would say VERY out of tune. Love her anyway!

  • sbarbati froci senza palle XD

  • the best version of this is definatly on the help album!! but hey, she was always a million times the person heather mills ever will be!!

  • funny smell in here? what was that about? lol

  • Marijuana in the crowd...

  • Who is the guy singing some nice harmony in the last verse? The only Wings name I know is Denny Laine.

  • not only is love blind it can't hear

  • @dannyrose55 You mean deaf?

  • Alright, I just have to ask: from 1:20 to 1:25 does Linda have hairy armpits? Or is that just a combination of lighting and poor video quality?

  • @klopek007 I'm sure it's just the lighting

  • @waguw55 Linda grew up in the U.S. (not Europe) so I'm sure she shaved. Nonetheless she was awesome.

  • @joberstadt - No Linda didn't. She made a point of never shaving under her arms.

  • Damn, he loved her. And he's the best there ever was. So who am I to shut her up?

  • @soaringvulture I'll have to disagree, he is the second best there ever was.

  • @Pbcn1974 I think we 're on the same page here. I was talking rock musicians...

  • @soaringvulture i dont think its her voice he loved. More likely her personality. I cant imagine why he would marry her for her voice, can you? haha!

  • They should've turned Linda's mic off. Bless her heart. She's trying though.

  • Not as bad as Yoko. UGHHH

  • LOL Linda... xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • ohhhhhhhh paul is the best

    no va a nacer nadie mas como el

  • Paul. What a hunk.

  • This is such a good song to play coz its so easy. Most Beatle songs are like that coz they r so well written. Linda reminds me of june carter and johnny cash

  • She is certainly not a great musical talent, but I must give her the edge over Yoko, I mean there is at least a melody there.  And she trying a harmonize. Yoko, on the other hand, just kinda a bad American Idol audition.

  • Linda Eastman McCartney did NOT want to be part of the Wings or sing, or to play any musical instrument but Paul McCartney begged to be part of the band.

    Yes singing is Fair to Awful. Paul wanted her there, maybe to keep other girls fans from bothering him. Helping him stay faithful.

  • But she had more talent then Yoko...

  • Linda had talent. Paul may wanted there because he wanted the world to know he had \s a girl who he loved very much.

  • no she didn't actually

  • They should have toured together.

  • it worked

  • Yeah, poor Linda sounds horrible don't she?

  • But in a wierd way it works.

  • yes, it does . . .

  • linda shut up!!! juaaa

  • Love this song but don't get me wrong, No offense but I don't like linda's voice. She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Her voice is distorted to me in this song. It should've been Paul only! I bought this song from itunes library for my ipod touch and just wishes Linda wasn't singing along everytime I hear it. Love Paul, RIP Linda.

  • Linda's vocals are not very good at this one. But I don't dislike her for that, I just don't think she sings very well on this one.

  • Comment removed

  • 12 stringed

  • The song was written FOR linda, for chrissake. she can sing however the hell she wants on it! so suck on THAT
