Here's a clip where he explained how he wrote that song. ua-cam.com/video/4lSWpKuu5TA/v-deo.html Also really cool is how the makers of that clip introduce him to the Crosby, Stills and Nash cover of the song, which he wasn't aware of before.
@Marcus Burton: Hello. He said often in interviews that he and George playing around with Johann Sebastian Bachs Bourree but they could just play the very first part of this. And later he took that as an ispiration for Blackbird. :-)
@Joy Stinson A shag was cut differently than a mullet. It was a "shag" because of its "shaggy" but specific precision layers all over. Mullet was anything goes on top and front, just leave the back long.
One of my fav acoustic Paul McCartney songs. It isn't just the political meaning behind the song, the very melody he wrote reaches my heart like so few songs do. I honestly don't know how musicians write music that moves our emotions, it is such a gift. Paul, we will always consider you a legend!
The political meaning is ambiguous, Paul’s explanation makes literally zero sense lol “it came to me in a subway car” 😂😂😂😂😂 the next breath he is talking about how aliens visited him. If you wanna buy the nonsense, go ahead tho. Scrubs lol.
I was 20 ft. from the stage at the Cow Palace for the entire show in 1976. Paul and his band sat and did an acoustic set. Since this show I wanted to purchase an Ovation guitar and finally did buy an Ovation Custom Legend 12 string. BTW...the show was absolutely iconic.
Seen him at Inglewood forum TWICE!.. I was a 17 year old but the moment wasn't lost on me.. and the sit down acoustic set had me in near tears as paul sounded and looked fantastic.. I will not ever see him again as how can I top seeing him in his top form prime.. from beginning of venus and mars/ rock show to surrey.. like yesterday, thank God theres video and bootlegs..
100% yes. the man has always been an inspiration. The Beatles were always about equality (ironic really, when you consider that no one has ever been *their* equal). They wanted a world united by love.
This was a immensely historically significant tour in the history of music and i was fortunate to attend the sunday night may 16 performance at the capital centre in landover, md in '76.
Just learning to play this on guitar. Watching, listening and learning. I teach guitar so I'll pass yet another great song down to the next generation.
I believe he is the greatest singer, songwriter. Ever. He was the icing on the Beatles success. There are great singers in the world but very, very doubtful could have written songs that would test time. Noone. George straight has awesome music but alot of early songs were written by one of the best writers in Nashville. McCartney is the greatest ever. Elvis never wrote. I loved 50s, 60s elvis but Paul had the genius to write with ease. That is so rare especially when he wrote half the songs for Beatles and just is amazing. Never will there be another.
I never show up in the video, (it was the KIngdome, lol), but I was in this audience. The most memorable show of my lifetime, since I never got to see the Beatles.
Death makes us realize that this is going to end and we should appreciate it while we have it. Till we can't run from it, that's the only solace we have.
Best version of this song, Absolutely masterpiece. You know, i have been repeatedly hear this song every day every night since 2 years ago. Thanks @turnitup
never get tired of this!...i love singing it, but really hard for me on the high..'into to the light of the dark black night..but i think i can and can sing it as beautifully.
I finally learned to play and sing this beautiful song. Just doing the practise now before playing it for friends and teaching it to others. This video will get some new viewers. I take great pleasure in introducing young people to great musicians like Paul McCartney.
Dave Derby hi would love to know what you think of this cover my 17 year old grandson (on guitar) and his friend did ua-cam.com/video/dFkaUPxtXIU/v-deo.html
@@geoffreyparsons4353 to me it sounds very introspective. Sounds like hes talking about himself...i imaginr him thinking .."after all that weve done and wrote, the heights weve seen, in the end everyone else seems to be more worried about their public persona and stardom than the music." ..and i think he sees himself as that lone blackbird thats frarless and sings into the darkest of times when other birds are sleeping. Showing his absolute will to continue even tho tjis beatles thing would be over soon.
I heard this song from the boss baby then my favorite guitarist played it.I learned it a couple of days ago but I can't just sing it cause I don't feel the spirit of the song thats why I'm here right now and still can't recover😪He's really a genius and a lefty like me🙂
Would anyone happen to figure out what notes he played before the intro? I just thought that was gorgeous. 😍 Beautiful timeless piece. Amazing music. ❤🎶

Think he went to the barbers, unless you mean the song?
1:38 love the way he goes “All your life-eeeee” that little falsetto “eeee” really gets me LOL
I've heard this version so much, i can't sing the song without doing that little eee. Never gets old.
That little "eee" fills me with.. something. It's perfect.
Mozart with a mullet
The Beatles are better than that idiot Mozzartella
That actually wasn't a mullet...this was more of a version of mod hairstyles from the late 60s and early 70s. Too cool for you to fathom.

@@johnlemon7564 you can’t compare classical with rock
@@johnlemon7564 if there was no Mozart there’d be no McCartney/Lennon . They used classical triads and classical composition techniques
I love acoustic music it has meaning
THE best live version of Blackbird in my opinion. Absolutely brilliant.
Agreed.
0:43 That girl is how we all feel while watching Paul.
She's hot
couldnt agree more!
Hahaha so true
Stop it, get some help.

I saw at the same tour in Boston in '76. Yes, the acoustic set in the middle was iconic. Sent chills down my spine
You're all lucky guys. I envy you all 😁👍🏻

Might be my favorite version of this song.
50 plus years later and sadly the lyrics are just as important today. God bless Paul
Absolutely you know the old saying, “How the world goes round and round” ? I couldn’t agree more with it now than ever.
100% yes. the man has always been an inspiration. The Beatles were always about equality (ironic really, when you consider that no one has ever been *their* equal). They wanted a world united by love.

with efforts
This is the best version of the song out there
this has become my favorite tour of his. he looks and sounds incredible.
yeah he was!!! You had to be there and lived the time.
Lucky enough to see him live a few weeks ago. Life changing experience. He sung this was a special moment
My toddlers love this song soo much that I tear up as a dad just listening to it.
I honor and respect this man so much. I think every guy has a crush on him if we’re honest. This is a forever legend
My friend picked up a guitar on a trip in France, back in 03 and played this! I'd not heard it before
I like how Sir Pauls voice has mellowed over the years. Pure class 🙂
Cowboy Carter sent me here. I needed to see/hear the original version.
Paul's voice is pure magic.
This was a immensely historically significant tour in the history of music and i was fortunate to attend the sunday night may 16 performance at the capital centre in landover, md in '76.
Did anyone notice he said "I'm gonna change onto my other piano" XD
hello goodbye no? think I missed it
Yes, its called sardonic humour. ;)
Yes
yep its still a piano with less strings
Change over*
Just learning to play this on guitar. Watching, listening and learning. I teach guitar so I'll pass yet another great song down to the next generation.
When he says mmmmm
I can't . He was called the cute Beatle for a reason 😍♥️

Totally amazing and beats the arse of current music. We have lost our way!
The "Wings Over America" just might be the best album of all time.
bless this beautiful young man for having a social conscience long before it was cool. It's called being human.
well, thanks for making me crying like a little kid.
i love this version with the 'mmm' before all your life
Best songwriter ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful song💐❤️💐
I feel infinite
A time in my life I will cherish, Deutschland Hallen 75. I am a scouser but will never forget.
Simply timeless. Simply genious. Simply Paul.
That's just beautiful
My song , means so many different things to me. Not really long enough , I like playing with it, dark night , black sky fits perfectly. X
fantastic songwriter !! the legend
that's like the perfect song
audience faces when he breaks into Beatles song priceless
Such a beutiful voice
I never show up in the video, (it was the KIngdome, lol), but I was in this audience. The most memorable show of my lifetime, since I never got to see the Beatles.
Great live version
Absolutely love. The live version has more soul imo
Because it's in a lower tuning
@@amidtheruins02 Thanks for the insight!
He is older and more mature. In his prime.
this is one of my favorite videos on the internet
Its sad to see this video and compare It with an 2018 live video is just, you know, life is so unjust, why do we need to get older man, its just sad
Just be grateful and thank God that we still have Paul to perform these miraculous compositions live for us!
Death makes us realize that this is going to end and we should appreciate it while we have it. Till we can't run from it, that's the only solace we have.

La la la la life goes on ....
Love it ❤

Happy Birthday Paul!!!!
Is Beautiful Voice end Beautiful music are the best.
I needed some Paul tonight 🥰🎶😘
everyone is just mesmerised by paul in the crowd when the camera looks over to them
in this bad times, this song fueled with healing factor we need right now. thanks paul :)
Absolutely adore this man
A ballad with history of blues permeating it.
anyone else's favorite version??
never get tired of this!...i love singing it, but really hard for me on the high..'into to the light of the dark black night..but i think i can and can sing it as beautifully.
Me encanta esta pieza, la cual está como banda sonora de las penúltimas escenas de El Bebe Jefazo primera película
Absolute genius
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Mitch on 'the Voice' (Australian) covered this song for his act tonight. I think Paul would have loved it, Mitch really did it justice. Glorious.
De las mejores versiones, definitivamente.
thank you, paul!
Genius
LOVE IT 💖
This is the best blackbird cover on UA-cam ...
Wait a second ....
You just don't ever recover from falling for Paul. Yip, 40 years later, he still has the power.
Te amo Paul! Se me abuelo ❤
I ❤this song
Paul and all was great
PS I was there in 1976 💕🎶💕
Jak zwykle Wspanialy😇😇

Simple, yet so perfect.
Loterally a song about himself. And leaving on his own. And bittersweet it is
Nooo it's about 2 black school girls in the sixties going to a all white school in the states . He met them decades later .

Same notes and blackbird I think, just played differently, I think it’s the first 3 played form 1 to 3 then 3 to 1
Goosebumps😊
un des meilleurs des beatles !!! pas facile a jouer !!!
Solo tengo ganas de llorar con esta canción.
Sensational.
What the guitar name he played?
That's an Ovation.
@@cchuvan thank youuu
The best version of this song. Why isn't in Spotify?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:):))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Thank You Paul
Paul McCarthy wrote this song during the 1960s civil rights movement dedicated to black women
Bullshit he did. Go educate yourself.
