What an outstanding and fitting tribute to a musical genius whose music and compositions will no doubt be around for a very long time. Who doesn't listen to these songs and sing along joyfully?
As a musician, McCartney has always been THE reference in creating a song! He in my opinion is, was and still is the best song writer of all time!!! Even more amazing, he is so down to earth!!!
I love how Paul has said in an interview that The Beatles could have taken a positive or negative path, and that they CHOSE positive. The world sings along joyfully because of it. Kudos to all the talented tributes to him, a job well done!
Paul is simply one of the greatest gifts to our World, this World has ever seen AND heard. Thank you Sir Paul for all the amazing sounds and the even more amazing feelings you have brought us all!
A fitting tribute for a great man. Could not watch it without choking with emotions. Thank you everyone for putting their heart out on stage for our dear Paul.
I feel blessed to have grown up during this incredible man’s career!!! There is not even a close second to his music & genius. I am unable to even put into words my admiration for Sir Paul McCartney!!
There are no words that can express the importance and the impact of the Beatles and their songs in our lives and in our culture. We are blessed to have lived to hear, see and feel. We love you. Thank you Paul.
@@lynnemayer3628 I was born in Brazil in 1967, I would never have the happiness of attending one of their shows, first because of my young age, then because the Beatles never came to Brazil for a show. The experience you went through must have been as fantastic as it was inexplicable. How was the sound, the audience reaction, what year was this show, which place in Chicago,, what changed in your life after this show? Please describe, as you are a witness of the history.
I dare anyone to try and not sing along! Amazing...How much joy and pleasure has this one man brought to so many millions and millions all over the world. Thank you Paul!
You touch my 💓 when I was a kid in 1978 I performed a lip synch performance of Long Tall Sally in Junior high school sadly not as good as that man what a truly inspirational genuis and person
@@johnvan6803 correct sir I apologise for not denoting that all four men are and we're genuises your musical accumen is impressive thank you for your comment and wisdom sir
@@johnvan6803 thanks again John for your reply all four men are extremely deserving the band wasn't just Paul it's John Paul George and Ringo their like in my humble opinion will never be seen again
I saw Paul’s show this year and it was just astounding. I’ll love the Beatles forever. They make me so happy. They’ve brought a lot of joy into my life. My youngest son is 15 and plays Blackbird on guitar for me. It’s just the best.
Ah Sir Paul -- I will never forget that night when I (an 8-year-old American girl) first saw you on the Ed Sullivan Show, and my life, and the lives of us all, changed forever. You have written, sung, and performed the soundtrack of my youth and my life. Thank you. God bless you.
been diving into the Beatles' music again, i'm 56 yrs old, listening to the digitally remastered stuff and now actually listening to, instead of just being a background soundtrack to life. The arrangements, production, musicianship...gaining a whole other level of appreciation for, other than just "liking"
I grew up loving the Beatles. This was just a reminder of how much their music and Paul McCartney’s music is so universal. Just inspired, well-written, life altering music that crosses borders, genres and people groups! And so much of an influence on so many artists.
When I saw Paul sing " All My Loving " on the Ed Sullivan Show, I was a Beatles fan. I love his solo career and his " Wings " career. Thank You Sir Paul . Your music is outstanding. 👍👍👍❤❤❤
The world has always been complicated...look at history...look at the problems in the 1960's...70's anytime you wish to look at. Nostalgia always creates a rosy tint.
I was 9 years old when I heard the Beatles. Saw them on Ed Sullivan, and meet them at their Convention Center Rotunda performance in Las Vegas 1964. I found my life’s vocation.No regrets.
one of the best tributes / honors I've ever seen. and how extremely lucky was I to be born at a time (thanks mom and dad) when the Lennon / Mccartney song writing team's composing frenzy blessed us with unforgetable lyrics , melodies , and memories lasting .... forever .
Evey time I see this tribute to Paul McCartney, I cry. That's how importante Paul and the Beatles are in my life. THANK YOU, SIR PAUL, I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE. I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!❤❤❤
13:07 Paul mouthing "Is equal to the love you make", you can feel that these words still resonate with him. They never strayed from their Peace and Love message, they live it and spread it through and through. Lots of love everybody!
I was 12 years old when the Beatles came to America, so I understand how they changed music. I always know there was a special bond between all of the members of the band, especially between John and Paul. But having just watched the Get Back documentary, it's clearly Paul that's the mastermind of the group and the primary force that propelled them to unmatched greatness. Wonderful to see his greatness being honored by his peers.
That was certainly the case in the time after Epstein died but John was the original driving force for the first half. Had they stayed together I'm guessing George could have given both a run for their money
I can't help but feel that this Honor meant more to him than induction into the Rock Hall of Fame. It's like the United States came together to let Paul know just how much we love and treasure him. We still feel that way Paul...💖
The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame honors were the most important to him. It was the one he and Linda wanted the most. She had already died when he won but he dedicated the award to her.
I have watched this video several times since it came out and every time it reduces me to tears. As a teenager growing up on Yorkshire England in the 60's these songs and all of The Beatles and "Our Paul's" are an integral part of who I am. I am 70 now. (How did this little Yorkshire boy get here!! There are no thankyou's big enough for what you have brought to my life Sir Paul. Love from Bob Mitchell.
I hear you. Paul was my Beatle but I adored George. What a beautiful soul 💜. John and Yoko too. Ringo was like a happy teddy bear.... adorable. The Beatles got me thru some very tough times, as a victim of child abuse.
@@CheyennefromTaos So sad to hear that. I hope you are Ok. I do understand because me too. 😢❤. Do you have a song that speaks to you the most? John was my Beatle until he died but I was also a George girl all the way at heart. I love Ringo and I love Paul. The 4 were so much a part of my youth.
I asked my daddy at the age of six for my first album- Meet the Beatles. I'm 63 now and the Beatles and Paul McCartney have been one of the major influences in my life..and still are. They have colored my world, and it is a beautiful color! So thanks, gratitude and love to Sir Paul, to brother Paul, to Beatle Paul!!!!
It actually was “ Something New” and was gleefully given to me by Gram Stella, but was immediately scoffed by by evil wicked twin Clara bell. She was such a bully, but I still love her anyway. I ask myself wy. Do you know anyone like that Katey?
I agree 💯! I just want to tell him, and not sound like just "a fan," but as a human being who MADE my teenaged years so wonderful! And continued to do so my whole life ❤️
Growing up in the 60s we never really knew how great our music was. Now looking back on what Paul and all the Beatles did for music We were so luck to hear it the first time around
I'm 64 and we just took this music in like we ate breakfast . It was always around. The soundtrack of my youth. I truly didn't appreciate it at the time.
Paul McCartney knows he is loved worldwide, that's why he still performs in front of sell out crowds. It's amazing how all generations love his music, including very young children. That to me proves greatness and the test of time.
I come back to this all the time to watch it - love love love Steven Tyler's performance and love Paul's reaction to James Taylor coming out; the power of Mavis Staples and her beauty and the whole touching tribute
I do the same, listen to this Kennedy Center award program over and over. I'm loving these performers sing Sir Paul's song, and his response to the artists singing them!!!
To live through the Beatles era was just wonderful. I saved up to purchase each album when they were released. My bedroom wall was covered by pictures I’d cut from magazine and newspapers. This was all before we had a television set and the radio was the way to keep up with their career.
Amazing. Grew up with Beatles and they are the band of a lifetime. Great to see all these people simply lost in the music and a feeling of love for everyone. I miss that terribly
this made me cry watching Paul McCartney's face while they are playing Let It Be and feeling his feelings and his memory of the dream of his mother coming to him which inspired the song.
I’m almost deaf with 2 hearing aids and a Beatles Fan since the 60’s. Please add English Captions to The Kennedy Center honor Sir Paul McCartney ASAP. Thank you.
Growing up in the 60's saving my lunch money to buy an album. Fell in love with the Beatles then, and never lost it. Saw Paul in concert 60 years later. It was at the top of my bucket list before I died. The music inspires, comforts, moves my soul...excites and gives me a thrill too! Thank you Paul, I believe you are a genius! Much love and honor to John, George and Ringo too!
out of nowhere the tears just keep coming and how you can instantly see what a bond great music brings....one of the best examples ever of how powerful music is...and Paul must of felt he was either at the gate to heaven or among the clouds in heaven. If that doesn't bring you to your feet, nothing will...just so so beautiful.
...and yet... ...Faul remains rather cold and emotionally stunted throughout this performance, just as he did when he was issued the news that John had been shot and killed.
off the charts and kinda let's everyone know in the hearts how much the Beattles & McCarty are loved from around the World. Very moving, amazing talent, and just a beautiful tribute...and it makes you sad, but so so alive....and it made my day to hear this!
My 29 y.o. daughter took me for my 67th birthday to the Paul McCartney Get Back Tour concert at Fenway Park in Boston on 6/7/22. The whole crowd was bopping and swaying,singing and dancing like this crowd here.We all sang paul a wee bit early happy birthday and were totally exhausted and totally happy after 6 encores!!! Amazing artist.amazing night!
I was 13 in 1963 & therefore grew up with the Beatles.We in South Africa had them before the USA & even at that young age we knew that this sound was very special. It is the soundtrack of my life.Thank you so much.I said back then that it would be okay getting old because growing up with the Beatles & living through those times was worth it .
When I first played commercially in the folkhouses as one of the members of a folksinging band in the 70s, we always included some Beatles selections to please the customersn who were getting drowsy from listening hard folksongs particularly those who don't dig folksongs. We noticed that their songs could entertain all kinds of customers regardless of age and social status. Therafter, I became serious in their music and along the way, I noticed that George creations lately have more depth and artistic approach with nice melodic lead.,
I can't look at Let it Be the same way again, thanks to Paul's story Carpool Karaoke. Seeing him get emotional at the end with Hey Jude had me in tears.
When I was a teen in the 60s in Liverpool my brother brought home the album 'Please Please Me' and we proceeded to play it all day over and over again, my dad who was a bit peeved by now said, " I'll give them 3 months" , we never let him forget it.
Sandy, I'm so glad you got to be there and experience that. I'm younger, so The Beatles have always just been part of the world's wallpaper for me, but I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see what it was like to have been there at the beginning.
Steven was understated in this, maybe realizing the night belonged to Paul. Still, he had the audience in his grip. I got a kick out of seeing John Lithgow singing along. When Steven sang "Golden Slumbers" I got goose bumps as my mind went back decades.
I was in 6th grade when I first heard the Beatles. I will turn 70 in 2 weeks...never has my love for their music wavered. Paul keeps me remembering how that young girl felt so long ago. Peace and Love Paul and Ringo. RIP John and George 💕💕💕💕
@@Jcyt1016 I can remember the night my died past away when I was 14, I played their music all night and I finally fell asleep. It actually took me several weeks of playing their music to help me go sleep. They helped me get through that trama
@terrybible1545 I'm so sorry for your loss. Being a young teen is tumultuous enough, but I'm glad we can relate to each other through the Beatles and the joy they brought into our lives- and STILL do.
So very much deserved , sir Paul McCartney is one of the most prolific song writers and musicians of our era. Could not be more heartfelt or well deserved.
Me, either. It will be absolutely horrible for the music industry. Paul has given us so much great music all these years. I can't imagine a world without Paul McCartney. It will not be the same at all.
Can we agree that Hey Jude has a way of really getting people emotional. There hasn’t been a time where I didn’t see someone standing up to sing along, start crying, or do both. Love this.
Trying to select a FAVORITE Beatles song, is like trying to select a favorite BREATH you take in your day to day life ...... Each one is at once special, natural, and mostly of all NECESSARY for your very existence!!!
I remember calling my brothers to watch this great tribute back when it first aired on PBS. This was a real treat watching it again. Thanks so much for posting.
So great when Tyler screams " Yah!! " off-mike at 11:08. Obviously a genuine thrill for him to be singing to the composer. And Taylor was the first non-British act signed by the newly formed Apple back in 1968. Peter Asher played his demo tape for Paul and George. This started his ascent as a performing song-writer.
Steven Tyler's performance (9:53) was better than I had hoped for... And watching him do Golden slumbers and The End and at the same time watching Paul made me cry!!!!
@@davidguthrie3105 No I don't think so either. They were part of a HUGE change in popular music, they were a part of a REVOLUTION if you will and no one has such a huge influence as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. I am proud to have been a Beatlemaniac.
I thank the heavens that the Beatles came along. I cannot and don’t want to imagine a world without the Beatles. There were the Beatles and then everyone who came after!
you know your music is timeless when great musicians can take it apart ,put it back together , perform it in their own way and it still comes out great
He has a pretty good resume, drummer for Nirvana, guitar and vocals for the Foo Fights, regularly trolls Westborough Baptist Church and tells great stories.
Watch his tv show on Paramount Plus called From the Cradle to the Stage. Dave and his Mom go and meet other artists and their Moms. Apparently Dave’s mom wrote a book called that and she spoke with the mothers. Dave Grohl is awesome!!!! His music is good too. You will not regret watching From the Cradle to the Stage.
Paul had a Concert around 20 years ago, he started it off with "Hello Goodbye". At the end of the song, he finished by saying "Hello" while waving to the audience. Totally unique by this man and the crowd loved it. Imagine that, having a song name like that and using it to greet his audience. They loved it!
Unbelievable! The body of work the Beatles gave us, each new album brought something new, trend setting wonderful songs, they forever changed the world. Lennon & McCartney belong to a rare group of musicians...among the greatest!
There will never ever be a phenomenon like the Beatles this band changed the entire world for the better I'm so sad today that two of them are gone but definitely not forgotten!!
🎸 The greatest singer songwriter ever. Sir Paul McCartney's music, some 154 songs in all with the Beatles, his band Wings, and solo career will live on forever. 🎵
There is no comparison with his Beatles songs and his post Beatles. Post Beatles he is just another average song writer who no one ever covers even in tributes like this.
These Kennedy Center Honors rarely disappoint. They're always classy and spot on especially for the musical tributes.
Being born in 60 I was lucky to have lived through the best years in music!
Ah, but I was there for Elvis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard 12 years earlier than that!
@@HuzonFurst I got you all beat, born in 1952, I saw the Beatles August 15th 1965 at NY Shea Stadium seats three rows back 3rd base.
Just the best combination of talent, optimism, and musicianship ever. God bless all the performers and especially Paul for his creations !!!
What an outstanding and fitting tribute to a musical genius whose music and compositions will no doubt be around for a very long time. Who doesn't listen to these songs and sing along joyfully?
As a musician, McCartney has always been THE reference in creating a song! He in my opinion is, was and still is the best song writer of all time!!! Even more amazing, he is so down to earth!!!

I’m almost 75 and I still wish I go see & hear them play their music!
Great comment by @melodymusik261!!!!
I crying all over my keyboard. I am so happy to see all these great artists together honoring PM!!
Absolutely superb arrangements, interpretations and performances. A fantastic tribute to Paul's work.
Paul is simply one of the greatest gifts to our World, this World has ever seen AND heard.
Thank you Sir Paul for all the amazing sounds and the even more amazing feelings you have brought us all!
Really amazing performance. As a visual artist your music is inspiring.
And he more than not, wrote about love. Miraculous song writer. Incredible musician. Thank you sir Paul.
In my mid 60s now and my joints ache, but listing to the Beatles takes me back to my boyhood,and forget the ache's
A fitting tribute for a great man. Could not watch it without choking with emotions. Thank you everyone for putting their heart out on stage for our dear Paul.
One of the most influental musician in history. So much music would not be here if it wasn't for the Beatles and Sir Paul Mccartney.
I feel blessed to have grown up during this incredible man’s career!!! There is not even a close second to his music & genius. I am unable to even put into words my admiration for Sir Paul McCartney!!
Feel exactly the same way
Simply beautiful creation by God.
@@juliedeleon9337 Perhaps you should thank his parents. They created him.
1600's had Bach, late 1700s had Beethoven and Mozart, 1800s had Brahms and Wagner, and late 1900s ..had McCartney
Elvis lives lol
greatest songwriter of all time whose songs are truly timeless
In this world there are stars. There are superstars. There are megastars. And then there is Paul McCartney.
I’m still waiting to hh
Exactly; like silver, gold, platinum and diamond status in music, then there are The Beatles/ Paul McCartney!
Truth!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Well put 👍
There are no words that can express the importance and the impact of the Beatles and their songs in our lives and in our culture.
We are blessed to have lived to hear, see and feel. We love you. Thank you Paul.
I was in grade school when I saw the Beatles live in Chicago - 3rd row center - I was dazzled for a week. What a feeling!!

We who are over 60 years old are so lucky to have lived in the time of The Beatles.
I agree with you 100%.. I felt very lucky to live during this time.
I don't trust anyone under the age of 30.
I was born in 1958. The Beatles have been my favorite band, since I first heard there songs on A M radio!
So envy you, guys. Golden age of music, culture and philosophical thought.
I'm 66 and they will always be the best band and music ever made.
I saw Paul’s show this year and it was just astounding. I’ll love the Beatles forever. They make me so happy. They’ve brought a lot of joy into my life. My youngest son is 15 and plays Blackbird on guitar for me. It’s just the best.

The world has always been complicated...look at history...look at the problems in the 1960's...70's anytime you wish to look at. Nostalgia always creates a rosy tint.
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!! Amen

Yup.
Fabulous interpretations by some of the best artists of great songs.
This is how all tributes should be done. While they’re LIVING. Amazing
The two rules for the Kennedy honors is you must be living and you must attend.

The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame honors were the most important to him. It was the one he and Linda wanted the most. She had already died when he won but he dedicated the award to her.
He didn't know what the award was when he received the invitation. Its significance had to be explained to him.
Hall of Fame is a joke. Started out cool then bent the knee

I think Paul was gobsmacked to see and hear these musicians pay tribute to one of their own who will survive the ages. Great presentation
John, Paul, George, and Ringo -- Legends in the past, legends now, and legends forever.
this made me cry watching Paul McCartney's face while they are playing Let It Be and feeling his feelings and his memory of the dream of his mother coming to him which inspired the song.

off the charts and kinda let's everyone know in the hearts how much the Beattles & McCarty are loved from around the World. Very moving, amazing talent, and just a beautiful tribute...and it makes you sad, but so so alive....and it made my day to hear this!
Never heard Dave's voice like that . Amazing !!
Dave nailed it!
Very difficult to sing not just because of the range.
@@allenallen5040 yes, and notice that he sang it a whole step down…
Then it ain't Me w Fogerty..Dave blew last his nervousness w that solo! Aloha
My 29 y.o. daughter took me for my 67th birthday to the Paul McCartney Get Back Tour concert at Fenway Park in Boston on 6/7/22. The whole crowd was bopping and swaying,singing and dancing like this crowd here.We all sang paul a wee bit early happy birthday and were totally exhausted and totally happy after 6 encores!!! Amazing artist.amazing night!
I was 13 in 1963 & therefore grew up with the Beatles.We in South Africa had them before the USA & even at that young age we knew that this sound was very special.
It is the soundtrack of my life.Thank you so much.I said back then that it would be okay getting old because growing up with the Beatles & living through those times was worth it .
This whole performance is simply amazing. Yes I used that word right. I also love Steven's scatting at the end during Hey Jude!
If you listen closely, him and Mavis both were!!!
Damn this brought tears to my eyes.... no I'm bawling like a baby - This was so beautiful - Thank god I got to live in a time with Paul McCartney
Well said Rick!
Teared up some myself ...I loved when James Taylor came on, and the look on PAUL'S face ..ONE STAR AFTER ANOTHER!!
Right there with ya....
🤝✌️🎶🎸
Paul is so cool because you can legitimately tell that he truly loves the music and you can see how much he enjoys listening to these covers.
It helps that all the musicians are top shelf and have rehearsed the stuff for days, as well they should for Sir Paul
Im in tears watching this, because Beatles are family to me.
How is it that this is the first time, today, that I ever heard Steven Tyler sing this tribute??? Amazing!
One of 2 of the greatest, songwriters ever! Paul and John rank with the masters of classical music! All the rest follow them!
When I first played commercially in the folkhouses as one of the members of a folksinging band in the 70s, we always included some Beatles selections to please the customersn who were getting drowsy from listening hard folksongs particularly those who don't dig folksongs. We noticed that their songs could entertain all kinds of customers regardless of age and social status. Therafter, I became serious in their music and along the way, I noticed that George creations lately have more depth and artistic approach with nice melodic lead.,
Paul is enjoying this and his darling Nancy is there with him. Precious. Just love this
I can't look at Let it Be the same way again, thanks to Paul's story Carpool Karaoke. Seeing him get emotional at the end with Hey Jude had me in tears.
Paul is truly a gift to the world
They've been the backdrop to my whole life! There are no words, really. What a remarkable phenomenon!
🤍
When I was a teen in the 60s in Liverpool my brother brought home the album 'Please Please Me' and we proceeded to play it all day over and over again, my dad who was a bit peeved by now said, " I'll give them 3 months" , we never let him forget it.
:)
That's classic!
😄😄😄
Three months has become 57 years and counting!
Sandy, I'm so glad you got to be there and experience that. I'm younger, so The Beatles have always just been part of the world's wallpaper for me, but I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see what it was like to have been there at the beginning.
Steven was understated in this, maybe realizing the night belonged to Paul. Still, he had the audience in his grip. I got
a kick out of seeing John Lithgow singing along. When Steven sang "Golden Slumbers" I got goose bumps as my mind
went back decades.
My grandchildren fell in love with the The Beatles,
It's AMAZING!
THE SONG WILL NEVER END...
I was in 6th grade when I first heard the Beatles. I will turn 70 in 2 weeks...never has my love for their music wavered. Paul keeps me remembering how that young girl felt so long ago. Peace and Love Paul and Ringo.
RIP John and George 💕💕💕💕
That's EXACTLY how I feel too and why tears sometimes sting my eyes. I'm 17 again, in my room, playing Beatle albums, and singing every word!
☝️That was for kcelvisfan
@@Jcyt1016 I can remember the night my died past away when I was 14, I played their music all night and I finally fell asleep. It actually took me several weeks of playing their music to help me go sleep. They helped me get through that trama
@terrybible1545 I'm so sorry for your loss. Being a young teen is tumultuous enough, but I'm glad we can relate to each other through the Beatles and the joy they brought into our lives- and STILL do.
What a man, what a career, what a life. THANK YOU Sir Paul xx
Eternal music-the Beatles songs will NEVER NEVER GO out of style. Not even when we eventually move to Mars.
Greetings my friend how are you doing today and i hope you and your family are in good health?
Imagine all the memories he has , with each of these songs..etc....
So very much deserved , sir Paul McCartney is one of the most prolific song writers and musicians of our era. Could not be more heartfelt or well deserved.
There are some unforgettable happy days In my life : four of them are the ones when I attended the Paul's gigs. Thank you so much Sir.
The Beatles, lo mejor que nos a pasado en la historia de la música contemporanea.
Ellos nos han hecho soñar a más no poder.
Viva los Beatles!!!
We all love Paul's standards. I thank them for including Golden Slumbers/ Carry That Weight and The End. I burst into tears!
There's One thing about Paul ,how modest he is,you go up to him say hello and he'll make eye contact with you,he loves his fans,BLESS HIS HEART
I cannot imagine one day Paul will leave this world but his music will last forever. Likewise many thanks to John.
I just can't imagine that day that I fear the most....😔
Feel you
Me, either. It will be absolutely horrible for the music industry. Paul has given us so much great music all these years. I can't imagine a world without Paul McCartney. It will not be the same at all.
@@joangentile2731 I don’t even want to think about it 😭
Can we agree that Hey Jude has a way of really getting people emotional. There hasn’t been a time where I didn’t see someone standing up to sing along, start crying, or do both. Love this.
Trying to select a FAVORITE Beatles song, is like trying to select a favorite BREATH you take in your day to day life ...... Each one is at once special, natural, and mostly of all NECESSARY for your very existence!!!
I remember calling my brothers to watch this great tribute back when it first aired on PBS. This was a real treat watching it again. Thanks so much for posting.
Paul McCartney you have stood the test of time the music today make a stand for always being yourself and rock on baby
It is literally impossible to erase his music from the planet. That blows my mind.
A simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, hope my simple hello will put a beautiful smile on your face
So great when Tyler screams " Yah!! " off-mike at 11:08. Obviously a genuine thrill for him to be singing to the composer. And Taylor was the first non-British act signed by the newly formed Apple back in 1968. Peter Asher played his demo tape for Paul and George. This started his ascent as a performing song-writer.
So incredible, so amazing, they showed they way .. it's getting better all the time. Thanks Paul!! John!!! George!!! Ringo!!! Beatles!!!
Steven Tyler's performance (9:53) was better than I had hoped for... And watching him do Golden slumbers and The End and at the same time watching Paul made me cry!!!!
What songs did he sing?
@@larry33bird41 Golden Slumber and She Came in through the bathroom window.
The Beatles are like clouds in the sky;
they come and go in and out of my life
but they never leave for good.
Very well said. 👏
I don’t think that there will ever be another Beatles.
@@davidguthrie3105 No I don't think so either. They were part of a HUGE change in popular music, they were a part of a REVOLUTION if you will and no one has such a huge influence as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. I am proud to have been a Beatlemaniac.
@@constancelena They WERE a revolution!!
Perfect comment
I thank the heavens that the Beatles came along. I cannot and don’t want to imagine a world without the Beatles. There were the Beatles and then everyone who came after!
They saved guitar rock.
A world without The Beatles sounds like a great idea for movie
When you own the Music....... you own the World. Never let anyone tell you that one person can't make a difference. Beautiful.
I got a shiver up my back watching this.
There is no music with out Paul he's truly one of a kind.
Seen McCartney thrice. I tell you now hearing those songs delivered live from his band with such heart. It's a gift to the fans around the world
same here, been 3x ♡ totally agree
you know your music is timeless when great musicians can take it apart ,put it back together , perform it in their own way and it still comes out great
Hi! Today es august 19th 2021 just found this video and reading your message, absolutely agree with you. My best regards 🙋🏻♂️
Melody. Different singers can work their magic.
Don’t know a lot about Dave Grohl’s music but every time I run across him on you tube I’m impressed by his talent.
He’s a cool guy. Google his story about prince.
Oh and he always gives props to his mom. :)
He has a pretty good resume, drummer for Nirvana, guitar and vocals for the Foo Fights, regularly trolls Westborough Baptist Church and tells great stories.
@@chrisjohner4307 Well if he trolls Westborough, I’m a fan. Lol
Watch his tv show on Paramount Plus called From the Cradle to the Stage. Dave and his Mom go and meet other artists and their Moms. Apparently Dave’s mom wrote a book called that and she spoke with the mothers. Dave Grohl is awesome!!!! His music is good too. You will not regret watching From the Cradle to the Stage.
Music is the greatest of all the arts. It moves, soothes, comforts, inspires, excites, calms, and thrills us
Paul had a Concert around 20 years ago, he started it off with "Hello Goodbye". At the end of the song, he finished by saying "Hello" while waving to the audience. Totally unique by this man and the crowd loved it. Imagine that, having a song name like that and using it to greet his audience. They loved it!
He leido algunos de los comentarios y no puedo superar ninguno, para mi Paul es un GENIO DE LA MUSICA .Los saludo desde México.
Unbelievable! The body of work the Beatles gave us, each new album brought something new, trend setting wonderful songs, they forever changed the world. Lennon & McCartney belong to a rare group of musicians...among the greatest!
The Legend that will always be immortal through his music, one of a kind and never will there be another. He deserved this and more, Congrats :)
You say ‘there will never be another’ and yet the individual they chose to honor has been an imposter posing as Paul for over fifty years on now.
@@vahnscott6019 Yes Vahn, everything you say is true. Does that make you feel better?
There will never ever be a phenomenon like the Beatles this band changed the entire world for the better I'm so sad today that two of them are gone but definitely not forgotten!!
@@vahnscott6019 . . . Dickhead! . . . 🌿🦊🌿
@@iainwood1905 Creatively speaking, I think you may have broken the mold here. 🤗
The five most important words in television history...Ladies and Gentlemen the Beatles!!!
I was 8, Sunday night I think CBS. ED SULLIVAN. THOSE exact words...
🎸 The greatest singer songwriter ever. Sir Paul McCartney's music, some 154 songs in all with the Beatles, his band Wings, and solo career will live on forever. 🎵
There is no comparison with his Beatles songs and his post Beatles. Post Beatles he is just another average song writer who no one ever covers even in tributes like this.
@@scampbell8136... whatever you say. 🥱
What a great tribute to a great performer!
