@ChiroQuack All you need is love #1 USA/UK 1967, The ballad of John and Yoko #1 UK 1969 and Come together #1 USA 1969 were all written by John Lennon, so i guess your`re wrong when you claim that John didn`t write any hits for the Beatles after 1965. Johns Beatles songs are great too. "Help" "A hard days night" "I feel fine" "Ticket to ride" and the ones he co wrote with Paul.John wrote alomst the entire "A hard days night" album by himself. Paul contributed only three songs,the rest was John.
@Raikaage John wrote a lot of great songs for the beatles, but Paul wrote their biggest hits. "Yesterday" "Let it be" "Hey Jude" "Penny Lane" "Get Back" were all #1 hits, and among the most known beatles songs ever, and they were all written by Paul with no help from John.
@Wayneman117 I would`t call the three others clowns.... John Lennon was essential for their early success. George wrote things like "Something" "While my guitar gently weeps" and "Here comes the sun" and Ringo`s steady beat and charisma was important for their music and image. They were all needed. The four beatles needed eachother. None of them did as well alone as they did when they were together as the beatles.
@Yellyist My understanding,back in the 60s (seeing that John,Ringo,and George were SOO bad musically) that when the other 3 left the recording studio, Paul would have to go in a redo everyone's part. Seeing Paul could play every instrument.
@Wayneman117 I think they were good enough. The Beatles were a tight band, and everybody could play their instruments well. John`s rythm guitar on "All my loving" is great. George`s solo on All my loving is pretty good too. Ringo`s drumming on "Rain" and "A day in the life" is excellent. Not to mention Johns songwriting ability. George became a great songwriter too. My favorite is Paul, but i think Paul needed John and the others to really shine. Pauls solo career proves my point.
If I was trying to prove to someone that Paul did not die in 1966... i think I would show them this video... I am seeing the same guy that was at Shea Stadium 1965... lol
Everyone's moist about the bassline on here, but it's hardly the best; it's not even HIS best. Compare it to stuff like Klaus Voorman's playing on Whatever Gets You Thru the Night or most by John Entwistle, and it's nothing. Paul outdoes himself on bits like Silly Love Songs or Goodnight Tonight. This is a C- Bassline, at best.
It was a message to John much like "With A Little Luck". Rumor has it that the Beatles were to reunite sometime in late 1981 early 1982. The title and lyrics illustrate it all.
@Voxac100b this song is the last single from Wings, but the live version. The studio version is from McCartney II (1980),the third Paul McCartney's solo album, after McCartney (1970) and Ram (1971)
I'm from the O.S.B. - "Old School of Bass". It's good to hear a solid bass line like this where the bass is being played like a bass. Not some Eddie Van Halen wannabe who couldn't play guitar so they switch to bass and take out their frustrations by overcompensating trying to shred on bass!
This isn't the "live" version released as a b-side single in 1980. That version was recorded a month earlier in Glasgow, Scotland. This is from the film "The Concerts For Kampuchea".
@MyDreamside If you are first, since you said it...I'M THE SECOND! ;-) wooo hooooooo! He's so adorable and animated while he's playing in this. I LOVE IT!!!
So much better than that kooky album version. They should have just gone into the studio and recorded it just like this video... live and powerful and rockin'.
@ZooRiot the studio version was recorded by paul solo.The whole McCartney II album was recorded,produced,and engineered by paul,so they couldn't put this song like this. It was meant to be like that. This version is very rythmic,soul, & disco,the other one is electronic disco. this one wouldn't fit in the album.But I understand you.I still like more the original, this one will get boring after a while,the other version will never get boring.Of course I mean on audio,this live vid is much better
@yourtwistedable Also, remeber, a live Wings version had already been released on The Concerts For Kampuchea album set in early 1980. So for McCartney II, Paul wanted to do something different. In one sense, the cut on McCartney II was a "cover" of a Wings song! BTW, the B-side of the single, the live version that U.S. radio played was recorded in Glasgow, not at the Concerts For Kampuchea (which was recorded in London).
@ZooRiot One of live versions got more airplay than the irritating studio version. It would've been nice if they played this on New Year's Eve with Paul belting out 'Coming Up, 1980'
It's a shame the official studio version of this song wasn't played like this. The McCartney II version was cool and charming, but sounded more like a demo. It would've been great if he recorded it with a band just like this!
i am the only one who love this song so much i was so down and this song helped me to stand on my feet again,every time i listen it i feel so great,the perfomance was perfect.The lyrics,the music,paul's voice everything amazes me.One day i learned that this song made lennon to return back on recording
@MyDreamside You are right, that John Lennon loved it.Listen to,I dont wanna face it,on You Tube,Johns last tracks ,he put the energy of Coming Up,into IDWFI. Try it out.
@MyDreamside What a great pair Lennon and McCartney were! To be fair to Paul,the door was open,but he might admitt,that Lennon saw through him,in 65,Yesterday,solo,Hey Jude,Solo,Let it Be,solo,Long and Winding road,Solo,and fighting for A sides.I read recently that Paul,accepted some guilt,but i believe that Yoko,got under his skin.I love both of them,and very much still appreciate Paul.
@MichalFokt -- Yeah, I think John's death really took it out of him for a minute.... when Linda died too. But he looks great now and happy! Jumping around on stage with no water or break for 3 hour gigs at 68... He's absolutely amazing!
i used to have the "wings over america" album...yes an LP! b/c i AM that old...& loved it when MTV came out & wideo juekebox on hbo so i coud see the video for this & these live tapes...love you paul
To my taste, this is one of Paul's best live performances. It was the last time - at least that I can think of - he played the bass with such groove and cleverness. The live vocals are way better than in the studio version, and the song sounds overall better here than on the album. The bit at 3:19 is great and fits the song just fine - great bass playing throughout.
Not the version that reached no. 1 in the USA, as someone said earlier. That was recorded in Glasgow, Scotland, as the "Kenny Dalglish" chant at the end of the song confirmed :) This is very like it, though!
@MartimRockass I totally agree, shame this is the only way he performed this bassline on this song, compare with any other Macca perfomance and he don't play it the same. Shame, cause it kicks ass!
@mlmr11 I think youre referring to the rhythm of the guitar part and not the riff. This song feels more like a Talking Heads song than anything the Beatles did.
Thanks for sharing this video - great sound and film work! "Coming Up" is one of my very favorites of Paul's solo hits. I played it all the time in 80/81 when it was a hit single. The day we stop singing about peace and love is a sad day because without we are left with emptiness.
Paul, I'm sure meant well with this song, but we tried to "stick with him" for thirty years, as he helped us into the peaceful, new loving world...and of course it never did vaguely, Come Up. And he's a billionaire now, and still singing his old "peace visionary" song almost ten years after 9/11. Paul, the flying saucer that was supposed to save us, never landed, get it?
is this the version used on the wingspan hits and history disc. because it sure sounds like it. anyways this version is waaaay better than the original
For some crazy reason, I only heard this song for the first time in my life last week...and I'm 30! There is something really wrong with that. This song is fantastic!!!
A concert intended to help "pour" people in Kampuchea? What, were they going to liquefy people outside of Kampuchea and "pour" them over the fence? lol Maybe they should just "pour" them some porridge, then they wouldn't be as "poor." Hehe :)
Was this the last time Denny Laine played with Paul? Did Paul just kind of take him aside and tell him to get a life or something you know .like "wings is over so pack it in mate" cause they didn't work together again after that.
@FlamingoKicker Denny popped up on one or two of the tracks on Paul's Tug of War album. I'm sure he also had a bit part in that classic Macca film (not) Give My Regards to Broad Street but i may be talking pants there, ha ha.
@DeeJayRoyalT "Coming Up" was actually the B-Side to "Coming Up" The A-Side was the original McCartney II studio version, and then B-Side was this live Wings version. In the U.S. they flipped it and played the B-Side, which went to #1.
@TheThrillington ahhh...well that explains why I couldn't remember the A-side. Yeah the B-Side live version was definitely the bomb!! Thanks for the clarification!
McCartney was not trying to "help poor people" but bring attention to the plight of displaced citizens.
It's like the concert he spear headed for the victims of the world trade center. He wasn't trying to help any "poor people." He was bringing attention to the situation
and was very successful both times. He a true humanitarian!
"Coming Up" is a very underated McCartney song. Steve Holley who is playing drums in this video is a great drummer & a great guy too.

Thanks for sharing this video - great sound and film work! "Coming Up" is one of my very favorites of Paul's solo hits. I played it all the time in 80/81 when it was a hit single. The day we stop singing about peace and love is a sad day because without we are left with emptiness.

Paul, I'm sure meant well with this song, but we tried to "stick with him" for thirty years, as he helped us into the peaceful, new loving world...and of course it never did vaguely, Come Up. And he's a billionaire now, and still singing his old "peace visionary" song almost ten years after 9/11. Paul, the flying saucer that was supposed to save us, never landed, get it?

A concert intended to help "pour" people in Kampuchea? What, were they going to liquefy people outside of Kampuchea and "pour" them over the fence? lol Maybe they should just "pour" them some porridge, then they wouldn't be as "poor." Hehe :)

Was this the last time Denny Laine played with Paul? Did Paul just kind of take him aside and tell him to get a life or something you know .like "wings is over so pack it in mate" cause they didn't work together again after that.

@FlamingoKicker Denny popped up on one or two of the tracks on Paul's Tug of War album. I'm sure he also had a bit part in that classic Macca film (not) Give My Regards to Broad Street but i may be talking pants there, ha ha.

@DeeJayRoyalT "Coming Up" was actually the B-Side to "Coming Up" The A-Side was the original McCartney II studio version, and then B-Side was this live Wings version. In the U.S. they flipped it and played the B-Side, which went to #1.
TheThrillington 1 year ago
@TheThrillington ahhh...well that explains why I couldn't remember the A-side. Yeah the B-Side live version was definitely the bomb!! Thanks for the clarification!

McCartney II is one of his BEST...Very personal, very at home, REAL...love it...

I know it's not him, but the guitar player sure looks a lot like Tom Evans from Badfinger.

McCartney was not trying to "help poor people" but bring attention to the plight of displaced citizens.
It's like the concert he spear headed for the victims of the world trade center. He wasn't trying to help any "poor people." He was bringing attention to the situation
and was very successful both times. He a true humanitarian!
