Paul McCartney - I Saw Her Standing There (live '1987)

[tarstarkas1]

Uh, this is a Devo cover band backing Paul? Pretty horrid, but probably in spirit similar to their early days . . . the Beatles . . . in Hamburg for instance . . . forget it

[mark22160]

Jonathan Ross is one of life's idiots and if life was fair we would not have to put up with him. Well, that's my 2 penny worth, millions will disagree....

[BeatleManiaForver99]

Beautiful!!

[mark22160]

the keyboard spoils this great song.

[bdstoresworldwide]

Not the best cover... but I'd love to cover Jonathon Ross with all the shit he's made us endure the last 20+ years

[sfar21]

please delete this from history.....minus Paul of course.

[zuke55]

Hey,that's half of the Attractions backin him up...love it. The lead guy is pretty ripping too... I wish I was in England during the 80s...

[Cryptorchild92]

This was probably retro in 1987... :D

[Onlymusical]

The Beatles' best song, along with "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

Who was the guy who stepped up for a moment and clowned around?

[UncleErnie71]

Fuck, this reeks of 80's in a bad way.

[babyinblack]

omg the keyboards make it so hoaky.. XD i love paul tho :P

[MicroWorldLover]

Ya, idiot. this was the grieving Sir Paul. Have some respect, man!

[manbigus]

@MicroWorldLover Why grieving? Linda died more than a decade later in '98'.

[iwillrocknroll4eva]

Who WAS that IDIOT butting in on the video anyway???

[BlueStreak440]

Vox AC-30. :)

[MrTheBeatlesforever]

his band could not be the best one but he is Paul McCartney period.

[bob19068]

what the hell is this?

[keyblok]

Is his hair gray??? O.o

[pretoclan]

what  a asshole 0:44 and 1:20 and 2:15

[KungaMatata]

@pretoclan those parts made me laugh soo hard

[matco24]

@KungaMatata haha yea it was pretty rediculous

[samusic160]

@pretoclan at first i thought he was part of the band since their all dressed in suits lol :D. Oh well atleast someone was having a good time i guess lol.....

[TJS2400]

In the front

[TJS2400]

Who else was that ?

[Monkmaster1969]

He sucked then and still sux today.

[stripgaga]

thats cool he's playing guitar. you rarely see that live

[Carthsting]

What is that? Seasame street?

[junebug41]

From The 60's till now..still kick ass....no matter what ....

[JBmiddleOFnoWHERE]

I love this haircut on him!!!!

[chelseapokaspots]

He's always been handsome and he always will be. (:

[johnsomnia]

Somebody should have poured a can of Crystal Pepsi on that god-forsaken keyboard.

[misskittycasper]

PLEASE RETIRE!!!!!! THAT WAS TERRIBLE!

[Kleenx98]

@misskittycasper yes it may not have been his best performance but it's not terrible. So go fuck yourself :)

[misskittycasper]

@Kleenx98 hahahaha so original.......

[heyyoumaria]

@misskittycasper i recommend you to keep searching and LISTENING TO SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY vids before saying such a stupid thing!the band wasnt good thats it, he is too much talented, ushould stop listening to jona´s brothers is affecting your ears:D

[vincentmack37]

that keyboard is disgusting it sounds like an ice cream truck, he should have just kicked it right off the stand

[QueenHotSpace]

This is first time that I saw him used Gibson.

[Kaya1955]

I absoulutely LOVE this! Paul, you're an amazing performer!

Love the drums in this song!!!!!

[aryowailangitoyo97]

paul in the 80's was already abit old. And this is him alone. See him with the Beatles when they and him was still young in: The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There 1964 (Live)

[MinnieMouseRoks]

As much as I LOVE Paul McCartney and The Beatles, I have to say that this version is shit :/

[ejacobdor]

So weird!



[RayManzarekGod]

WTF TYPE OF ORGAN IS THAT. SOUNDS LIKE A CELLPHONE. HORRIBLE. RUINS THE SONG

[blumonkeyboy]

@RayManzarekGod Sounds to me like a typical 80s synth trying to imitate a hammond organ. Probably FM. Id guess Yamaha DX 7, and then somthing Roland

[RayManzarekGod]

@blumonkeyboy Thats what I thought. It sounds terrible. The 80's went thru that stage where everyone thought synths were the way to go.

. Vox Continentals (The organ The Animals, Doors, Beatles had occasionaly) went for about 50 bucks, now they sell for about 2500. Interesting.

[blumonkeyboy]

@RayManzarekGod Yup. I think a big part of that is the vintage quality. As bad as it is by todays standards, if i found a DX7 for a good price, id probly go for it. Some of the sounds are stil used today, namly the rhodes piano that was lmost nowhere near realistic

[RayManzarekGod]

@blumonkeyboy Yeah, that Rhodes sound has become a sound of its own somewhat... The vintage instruments and sounds (No matter how cheesy) are seeming to come back!

I think the organ-ish sound here could have it's place in some songs though. Its all about placement, you couldn't use a Farfisa in a Death metal band.



[MrMooniePie]

why's he playing guitar on this? That's not right...

[fabricio4028]

o teclado realmente ta muito ruim.parece um realejo.mas o resto esta otimo.

[stingray614]

oh my! that is one badass looking strato! =0

[QueenBeatlesWings]

not all of the Wings linups were bad- his band wiht Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, Joe ENglish, etc was best acording to Paul

[JohnnyContagious]

@leeBwatson From the way you write I'd say you were still a bairn. Is that even English, or are you typing with your fucking feet? I don't have a fucking clue what you're trying to say, you fucking monkey, I mean... it resembles English, and I can recognise some of the words... no, it's no good. We'll need to get somebody who can interpret hieroglyphics to understand your unintelligible pish, you halfwitted cockend.

[acdc192837465]

i love the random guy at :48 and 1:25 he's funny

[mferrusca]

@acdc192837465: isn't that Jonathan Ross?

[samusic160]

@mferrusca Wait a minute now that mention it, it does look like Jonathan Ross Lol what a plonker :D. Well if it was him, it looks like he drank abit too much lol.

[num1Beatlesfan]

@acdc192837465 Yeah I think its funny how he just pops out of nowhere to do that part XD

[thekomrade]

Lol, its so 80's

[rocktenniscat]

This DOES NOT WORK at all. You need back up singers! Beatles were magical with their driving harmonies.....

[tonygmilan7]

the 80's ruined everything

[JohPaulGeoRing]

Paul's voice isn't good

[mvp91593]

this isnt pauls best performace sorry guys

[johnyonge]

a couple of years later Ross stabbed Paul in the back when he played the audio clip of Linda singing hey jude out of tune.

I have hated Jonathon Ross since!

[blooddrive43]

would have been so much better without the keyboards.

[Rushworshiper92]

NOT THE SAME!

[DarkPotatoso]

would sound much better without the keyboard

[EricColin1]

@DarkPotatoso Sounds like a Christmas's Song LOL

[cristipardi89]

totally according with the people opinion think paul is tryng to go to vegas? must practice a little bit buddy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zh0rik]

If this is live concert, then where's the croud screaming? :(

[lowaces]

thumbs down

all the way down

sorry paul

[thestoryplease]

McCartney auditioning for Vegas? That keyboard - to the dumpster f ollowed by this sucky video.

Embarrassing!

[Aripapadopoulos]

terrible version

[TheAwesomeLillyShow]

0:47 WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Chivas45689]

he may not be young (Paul) but he is pretty cute there.

[linksoer]

1:31

God damm! get a new guitar fella!

[yadreamin251]

great, thhey took a song from the early 60s and made it 80s acceptional, if sum1 didnt know the original and saw that, i think they would beleve that it was a 80s song, pulled off beautifully for the 80s, not so much now :)

[95Tortoise]

Just sensational !!! No one else compare to you. Love u always.

[MattTC1028]

his band in the '80s and early '90s was awful. his current band is AMAZING.

[acdc192837465]

@MattTC1028  yea they r

[steamt]

@MattTC1028

Yeah Your Dead Right There, The Band Now Are So Much Tighter And ROCK AND ROLL Like Theres No Tommorow!!

[saidder]

@MattTC1028 I know! He seemed almost like a silly has-been in the 80's. But watching his recent performances are just amazing. They are absolute quality. He has obviously put a lot of effort into faithfully performing his classic songs in the last few years. Amazing how well he can do it 40 years later!

[GeminiSpaceship]

@MattTC1028

This is not his band but they are all accomplished musicians. The drummer and keyboard player are from the attractions. his band in the 80 and 90s were very accomplished musicians. Macca has the pick of the crop and some of them are in his present band, e.g. the drummer. So you are a plonker.

[Codguy77]

@MattTC1028 WHADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDD ABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOUTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAATLLLLLLLLLESSSSSSSS­SSSSS? MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN?

[93Carrington]

@MattTC1028 As long as Paul is the lead, it doesn't matter.

[TransformerslNC]

@MattTC1028 agreed.

[zackyko]

george was a lead guitarist and they all have that great harmony!!!

[ybot1983]

he does eemed to have suddenly aged but this is 20 years ago

[1olrocker]

You know what's ironic about this? Paul could have and should have played the solo..... he was the best guitarist on that stage - some have said he was actually better than Harrison at lead solos. Paul did the solo on Taxman, most of the Sgt. Pepper album, and some other songs.... since hwas obviously not playing bass here he should have done the solo.

[himynameisben95]

He -rerecorded- the guitar solo's on Peppers, they were written by Harrison, but Paul did something to the distortion/sound etc.

[mvbeckril]

You may be right but I thought the fella with the beat up strat did pretty good! :)

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Whta is the terrible band with him ???!!! The Archies ??

[Littlereddragonmusic]

Paul is great, usually... but is shit. Like a cruise ship band...

[Lullibee]

He was lovely looking here, and he still is today. He'll always be gorgeous. :]

[MrBetamax]

Jonathon Ross was and IS a stupid idiot!! Leave Paul to sing on his own!

[delirabbid]

he misses john and george you can see it in his face when hes performing

[Newgeez]

Now assuming you're pertaining to the 1987 video, How could he possibly miss George when he was still alive in '87? Please elaborate. :)

[jlaz89]

He misses George because George isn't there...lol. I go to college on the other side of the country and I miss my mom. My mom doesn't have to be dead for me to miss her.

[Newgeez]

I see...So he absolutely doesn't miss Ringo then? :P

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Thank you. That si so funny !!! LOL

[4FabBEATLES]

@Newgeez George want working with Paul so Paul could miss playing music with him

[Revolver8566]

lol, the leather.

paul couldnt look tough if his life depended on it lol

[SirMcCartney]

le falta el bajo de paul :D

[TheTioSachShow]

???

[Batmandee1]

it's just not the sme without John and George..could go either way with Ringo lol JK

[raisethealarm7]

lol

[PhotoFilmStudios]

this video is just too funny... and yes cut the keyboard player off! HORRIBLE VERSION! and paul looks so awkward singing the song, as if he was forced to put the keys in the song... because this song should NOT have keyboards

[gman2989]

This video is really sad to watch.

[tbag010]

Who is the fucker in 1:20 ???

[tbag010]

He is so lonely because his friend John is not there ;-) When you listen this version and the one of the Beatles all together, it is another performance ;-)

[lfgubrs]

I know Paul is playing with a backup random group on this video, but why oh why does he seems to be so lonely :´( (I know why)

[ricktafied]

Poor Paul. Shoot the keyboard player. all together: "SHOOT THE KEYBOARD PLAYER"!

[debzeppeliniv]

I LOVE YOU PAUL

[jonser1]

roundhouse kick the pianist.

[drutgat2]

Is that Jonathan Ross f****** about on the microphone? And who are the band?

[Frisbieinstein]

I didn't know Jay Leno played guitar.

[FrisbeeG]

ha ha ha

[oneoneone5]

Good one!

[weirdalfreakmm]

paul goes new wave lol

[kennykins420]

the 80's suck...

[jamesjordan151]

no, jonathan ross ruined the song.

[xxxxRINEHARTxxxx]

fucking organ ruined the song

[punker911a]

this is great

[jimiskywalker]

wow this happened 22 years ago.. Paul still looked and sounded good back then. and yes the organ ruined this.

[deadlyxcrime17]

idk....

this song is good..

but its nothing compared to when John was in the band...

it just isn't the same without him...

:/

[rapsjaysfanforeve]

i agree 100% his voice sounds so tired out too...i miss the beatles :'(

[ahorayya]

imprecionante

[immortelle3]

I have to say this is a poor performance of this great song by Paul

[Connerthedrummer]

I'm pretty sure the organ ruined it.

[Papatorrejano]

Keys didnt fit at all and the host ruined it too.

[MOSKII58]

yes they cheesed it up too much!

[theloladin]

My thought exactly, fucking 80's huh? ^^

[scandalouzmegz]

That is a sexy outfit, Paul.

[ThomasDeLello]

Great back-up band there...

[Frisbieinstein]

Most beaten up Strat I ever saw.

[crue93]

What about Stevie Ray vaughan's number one??

[beatles099]

paul rocks!!!!!!

[vormax2007]

It's almost like Paul's doing a mashup of "I Saw Her Standing There" and the theme from The Munsters.

[Frisbieinstein]

Genius!

[monkeymichel]

I like the jacket. and the skinny black jeans and black boots. it's rock and roll. i wish he still tried to look rock and roll instead of wearing orthopedic running shoes with everything.

[smartj26]

this is the 80's lol

[monkeymichel]

These guys did about 4 or 5 songs on this show. this is about the worst of the bunch. the other songs were great, this is pretty weak. i hate Paul trying to make this into some kind of bubble gum song when the Beatles played it much harder. Paul even plays this song weak on his recent tours.

[monkeymichel]

Isn't that Elvis Costello's band?

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

I..... don't like the synth.

but i like the song.

[SweetBeatles]

sexii *-*

[beatlequeen06]

Great twist on a classic! Love ya, Paulie!

[westftballstar31]

as much as I love the '80s...eek, nice rendition then you factor the keyboard in and wow, sounded like it came from a horror flick

[paulineveena]

The keyboards ruin it.

[brunodanx]

absolutely

[acdc192837465]

@paulineveena true

[blumonkeyboy]

@paulineveena BUt the Rhodes piano part now adays sounds good with it

[JustLoveForMe]

DEAR GOD :| What is he wearing?!?!?!

[DizzyMissRomi]

ahahahah i like his jacket lol^^

[JustLoveForMe]

Haha, fair enough xD

I can hardly judge, I liked his mullet! Heheh ^_^

xx

[bismarck1221]

shitty isnt it?

[BACMusic]

He was hanging around Elvis Costello wayyyy too much!! LOL!!!

[AndyMann0007]

Hey, it's his song - what he wants to do with his own song is ok with me. I kind of like it!!! :)

[smileyface83]

David......could you dance with another if you saw me standing there?

[dlpine]

BJ,you are the only one I would see on the dance floor. Of course I would dance with you and only you!

*David*

[LiamMcFaddenSongs]

The band was the 'house band' for Jonathan Ross' 'Last Resort' show, the MD (on keyboards) being Steve Nieve of Elvis Costello's Attractions. No, I don't have an anorak.

[beatle608]

Is he playing a Goldtop?

[enkirm]

incredible song ... but this is a real shit...

was horrible

[bkahler419]

paul was definitely still stuck in the 80s for this performance.

[14philm]

Bad verson Macca!! This has to be played as raw rock 'n roll - Hitler does it much better!

[jimmierudolfsson]

Hmm didnt like this version.. the bassline isn´t even played right :(

[xxKerplunk80xx]

this is my fave song by the beatles...but in this performance everything is perfect except i dnt like the noise of the keyboard....i prefer a nice piano lolx

[Itsaverydeepsea]

I used to think Jonathan Ross was funny....now he's gone down in my estimate.

[Fredrockroll]

stupid host

Paul forever
