LetzGoCrzy Then I suggest you go to a classical concert, dressed in a tuxedo or dress, just choose, and sit there passively watching and listening until the pain finally is over. You really do not know what any rock/pop concert is about, do you?
Your not alone I’m 16 and I know the feeling even tho I’m young, I may not have been around when they were 😂 but I know the feeling you can’t describe. It’s magic that’ll never go away
@@elisaasuncion447 Don't ever refer to them as a "Boy Band", it's insulting. Singing groups that were widely referred to as boy bands from around the 1990's onwards, were nowhere near in the same league as the Beatles, that term of phrase wasn't coined in the UK until long after the Beatles had split up.
I saw The Beatles on their first Television appearance in 1963. I ran to my mum and said "Mum, there's a group called The Beatles. They'll never get anywhere with a name like that". Now I am 71, I have all their records.
You can never depend in your own judgement if your imagination is out if focus,Mark twain was right.The same happened to me as we saw the pictures in the Newsweek after Lennon's death.The facial gesture of paul's lips in the Ed sullivan show looked odd.Wait!A year later I was shocked to learn that words of love was the Beatles-a song l liked when l was 5yrs in 1969
You can see the absolute joy on people's faces. Most were not even born yet. And the ones that were, can't hold back the tears. For me, the Beatles were,. and still are pure magic.
I couldn't make it to this tour but after 2010. And by only watching this now, I'm crying. Had I been on this tour, I'd probably been in tears the whole concert...
I did to. I still remember as each new album was released being in awe of their new material. I couldn't believe how they could continue to produce such magic seemingly effortlessly. I was so sad it had to end and they had to go their separate ways.
if you don't know, I"ll fill you in on why those middle aged women and men are crying. Songs like this bring back so vividly what they will never experience again...their best years of life. That's what a song can do...bring you face to face with your best memories. A place you can never repeat. And that is an emotional punch in the face when the creator of that favorite song, the one who sang on the radio when you were growing up...that musician plays your life's background music right there in front of you. It's like meeting your first love again, after so many years apart. You'll never know what I'm talking about until you reach middle age and realize that your very best years are behind you.
+alanrtment porter you cannot simply just listen to songs like this and not feel the emotion of growing up with the Beatles. One song to me is poignant, Help. I remember breaking up with my girlfriend and driving somewhere and it was on the radio. To this day when I hear it, I go back to driving my "62 Ford Falcon and hearing it. God how good was it growing up listening to their songs. I've seen Paul twice, Ringo once, but wish I had seen all of them.
I am 13 years old, and it makes _me_ cry to see my mom's face whenever she listens to The Beatles' songs. It's like she's overjoyed and about to cry. My grandpa used to play it to her and she loved him very much, but he passed away a long time ago. She is one of the reasons why I love The Beatles 😊
Feel quite emotional see g by whenever I hear this song. I was in Liverpool throughout the Merseybeat era saw the Beatles live a number of times. Remember queuing all night long outside the theatre all singing Beatles songs sitting with my mates on the pavement through the night with hundreds of others, waiting for the box office to open in the morning.Sustained by the hot dog stands selling hamburgers and Coca Cola . It was without a doubt the best time ever to be a teenager, the music, the clubs, clothes, everything around that time was just magic. I still live in Liverpool with my wonderful wife of fifty three years, Whom I met in one of the clubs in town and my family of eighteen. I still listen to the Beatles and other Mersebeat groups when I go for my walks around the parks of this great city. What a wonderful life I have had and I am still having.
Wasn't it also a dreary time of no money, just coming off rationing years earlier, still WW2 destruction reconstruction. Cripes they couldn't buy Fender equipment and American records a rarity, etc etc ??

I am 68 years old and I know that I am quickly approaching the end. However, I wouldn’t trade growing up in the sixties for any thing! That was the decade that brought about a seismic shift in our society - individually and collectively.
Don't rush to the end! People used to live much more years! And 300 years and more! Just in our time, the system has taught us that people do not live longer than 100 years. It's all about thinking!
It was 100% John's song, and one of his best vocals... also released well before they exploded onto the scene... One of, if not "the best" of the early stuff IMHO. George's Iconic Riff and fills were magic...
@@standrew131 In the UK it did and was their first #1... It bombed (really bombed with no media) in the US but was re-released after the Sullivan show and did well along with so many others... that's when they exploded onto the world scene. Notice it didn't make the set list on the Sullivan show that made them a world phenomenon... from a Beatles Music History Piece. "The Fab Four played three songs -- “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You” -- before taking a 35-minute break for other performers. Then they took the studio stage again to play “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” much to the delight of their screaming, swooning fans. An estimated 73 million people in the U.S. watched the show that night, establishing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as American idols'" None the less... a great one!
@@TJ_USA I am from Argentina ... and the truth is that the English were born to make music .... a pity that it is no longer ... so ... or there are very few .... in Argentina there is very good rock ... with a lot of prestige won in Latin America ... but there are also very few good rock bands ... and the beatles are the biggest in history ..
It's impossible to describe to someone who isn't a fan and didn't grow up with The Beatles, just what it feels like to see Paul McCartney playing these songs live. It exposes something deep in our psyche...maybe a kind of early self-discovery that became a keynote throughout our lives...something confirming alongside the memories and the connections and a lifetime lived as we now face old age and mortality. There's a gratitude and a wonder. It's almost unfathomable and people find themselves crying without grasping exactly why.
It was a great time to be young and alive. I remember hearing my first Beatles song on the radio, and they became a huge part of my life after that. Very few things compare. I went from being a ten year old listening to Twist & Shout in my bedroom, to being an 18 year old soldier and listening to Get Back in Vietnam.
That's a very good explanation for non-boomers! You had to be there for Beatle-mania, and then continue growing up with them! I had a very visceral experience to seeing and hearing Paul, like seeing an old friend...
Perfectly said, David. I saw Paul in 1976 in Tucson as a 16 year old...front row against the stage barricade directly in front of Paul and Linda. That experience is for me now, manifestly reaffirming and serves as a spiritual constant that I am eternally grateful for as well. Thank you for your great observations and comment.
To be honest, I teared up watching this. I remember my mom and dad taking me to the Boomer Theater in my home town of Norman, Oklahoma, to see "It's Been A Hard Days Night" back in about 1963-64. My mom and dad are both deceased now, but the memory of that night, the Fab 4, and being with my mom and dad will live in my mind forever. For all of us aging Baby Boomers, we grew up in a magical time!!!!!!
+Robert Sunderland I still tear up. I'll watch this over and over again. I remember Christmas time 1963-64 shopping with mom and dad in old San Antonio and going into Sears and listening to the car radio. I'm 64 now and still love their music. Great being a boomer and we're still fortunate that Paul has got this great band and still crankin' out great these great tunes. Fantastic.
+John Echterhoff Same memories for me John, but in East London England, at our school Christmas party. It was an exciting time to be young. Then I saw them in concert a few weeks later but couldnt really hear them for the screaming ! I,m a "Boomer" at 65 now and I still dig their music too. Little did we all realise then that Paul, Ringo ( and indeed The Stones), would still be packing out concert halls in 2016 !!! Where do the years go mate ??
When I hear "Please Please Me" I instantly think of my youth and "Beatlemania"! Like the audience, tears well up in my eyes remembering those wonderful early days of The Beatles! What a purely innocent time it was!
Prin Pie Wow... we're just a bunch of old baby boomers talking about how much we love The Beatles... i cannot fathom how that makes us racist... I can only conclude that you don't know the meaning of the word! Go spew your vile rhetoric somewhere else and leave us to our wonderful memories of Beatle mania!
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
+Robert J. Williamson Lennon meant that not in the way as to actually suggest there was no heaven. He meant it as a way to say anyone can convince themselves of anything if they really want to close their eyes... ANYTHING! It is a fact Lennon (as well as the other three who were or ARE christians now) believed in God, Satan, heaven, hell, etc. Lennon tried to convince himself otherwise [contrary to his upbringing] for a number of years, but came full circle [back] to the faith of his childhood and teens some years before his death. Just as the word states, "Bring your child up in the way he should go, and when he grows older he will not depart from the faith." Get to know your creator, your eternal family, my friend. It's what you were created for... to be in God's loving family... forever and ever. No more pain, no more sickness, no more sorrow, no more death... no more of this cursed temporal beginning and end to everything we are subjected to in this brief life. Don't believe? The next time you are by yourself, humor me, by asking God, "If you're real, if you are really out there like so many claim, then reveal yourself to me in a real and definite way." One thing I can assure you of... he WILL! After that -- while there is just no explaining it, you must find out for yourself -- you will know, that you know, that you know, that you know... and no one will ever again be able to convince you of the myth that "There is no God".
John was not a Christian, here are the lyrics to the song GOD, proving it. I suggest you post a quote from John where he says he was a Christian. The only Beatle to return to Christianity is Ringo. There is zero evidence for a heaven, and any God that tortures people in hell for not believing in him, is not a loving God. A million children die from a lack of clean water each year, why does your God not help them, if he answers prayers as you claim? "God" God is a Concept by which we measure our pain I'll say it again God is a Concept by which we measure our pain I don't believe in magic I don't believe in I-ching I don't believe in Bible I don't believe in Tarot I don't believe in Hitler I don't believe in Jesus JOHN LENNON
If they have any sense, they will. With the way the world is going right now, we'll have either self-destructed or everyone will be listening the likes of Taylor, Cardi, Sheeran or Drake...Yikes - now that's a bleak future...
I have around 3500 singles and albums BUT this was my very first record that I ever bought when I was 8 years old in 1964! I totally understand the emotion of people watching Paul McCartney sing this song live. I get choked up watching it too.
I was honored to be able to see this show twice. The second time, I took my 15 year old nephew to the show (his first-ever rock concert). The first time I saw the show, I never got out of my seat to get a drink...or use the restroom. This radio DJ saw his childhood coming back before his eyes and it felt...so...damn...good. I have such wonderful memories.
The pure joy on the faces of the crowd at this concert and the other venues on this tour are all we need to know of the impact the Beatles had on the world and continue to have today 2024 .❤
Dear God almighty I'm so pleased I was born 1953 to witness the groups from England tamba motown punk and pop rock and rock from my generation how gifted was I thank you ❤❤❤
Nothing would have happened with the Beatles without John LENNON God rest his soul. McCartney has his own style and talent but without John George and MR Starkey History would not be the same
+Hugh Corston What Beatles fan hasn't had a boy crush on Paul. Shit, he's Paul. I've had one since I was 13 back in '76 & still going strong. And I'm married with kids.
Joshua, if you ever get the chance, do so. I saw the Beatles back in 1965, and so i can truthfully say that Paul puts on a show that not only respects the past with the Beatles, but also with Wings and as a solo. It's a great show. Even if you have to sell something to get the money, go...at least once in your life.
Sometimes It's impossible to describe to someone who never been witness The Beatles, but Paul McCartney playing it live. You've to be thankful that he still with us.
Yup . So many people have no clue just how big the Beatles were ; and indeed how the social climate was in the States ; as well as the world . The Beatles came along with happy music that ; IMHO ; helped to heal (for a little while) the shock of the Kennedy assassination ; the Cold War tensions ; and some other things that I was really too young to remember !
I've watched this 7 times now. Yeah teared up... Because the crowd is so in to it... All ages! I was fortunate to be a teen in the late 60s when their music defined a generation.... And here we are 50+ years later still loving their music!!!
I got to see the Beatles in 1965 at the Atlanta Stadium. Paul McCartney has always put on a stellar performance. I look at the faces of many of the people and they are crying because a bit of there past is right in front of them and it is great.
This clip just shows how big and influencial the Beatles were…every time Macca plays one of their songs, you see people dancing, singing, crying, whatever their age maybe. That the sign of true legends
I never get tired of listening to Paul. He brings his fans so much happiness. And he is just one very loving man. He's got it all together. Long live Paul McCartney!
@@Dana-wq5tp That is a bit harsh! You and others could never understand or comprehend the madness faced, and pressures the Beatles were under, when touring - no other band in history had to cope and manage the issues the Beatles had to face when on tour. It became too much, so John and George wanted out.
@@dannyvine3605 Which Paul eventually agreed with. But as far as being the incurable showman, he always had that in him and it was much stronger than John or George. He was definitely the last one in the group to finally admit that the touring was killing them both artistically and physically.
I have loved the Beatles since I was 7 years of age and Paul was always my favourite, I just love the guy. I went to see him in Hyde Park several years back and when he started to sing some of the old Beatle songs I was just so choked up and was crying, then I looked across to my boyfriend and saw he was also crying. One of the best days of my life!
Grandfathers, babes in arms, original fans, teenagers, people laughing, crying, rocking, singing and dancing. People of all ages, colours and creeds and orientations rockin’ their butts off. And on stage ? A 78 year old great grandad ! Music is truly the international language.
Saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 and I was hooked for life. Never got to see them but saw Wings in 1976 and in May 2022 will finally get to see Paul again for what could be the last time.
One of McCartney's finest moments - reaching peoples' heart where few others can. Oh! get that music behind me, it is too much to bear for us old-timers who once knew happy times in an uncomplicated world.
Totally agree. The peak of their "beat" music imo was "I wanna hold your hand" after that I dont think there was a pattern to their music,they tried many things (and as history shows) were successful with everything. 1963 was the best tho.........imo
Good God! That song STILL thrills, doesn't it? And it still stirs up an emotional response, though whereas people shed tears initially because they knew they were witnessing something that not only was great but was something new, something that had never happened before, now we get emotional because it reminds of just how great it really was and how well it has stood the test of time. Add to that the awareness that we are witnessing the final years of that phenomenon, bringing to mind and fulling the heart with the knowledge that life is transient, that all things must pass and that we are here today...
I can't explain why this song and this performance made me feel so emotional! Everything was so great in my life since then and I'm here hearing it again, but now I can also see them and the happiness of everybody.
The energy and excitement in this song is enduring and magical. Fabulous in fact! A crucial element is Paul’s bass - such momentum, it’s like he’s leading a hunting party.
I had the privilege of seeing Paul and Co. at the SSE Hydro, in Glasgow about a couple years ago. Best by far concert I have ever attended.. I was so happy to see my favourite artist who I have always admired, perform as good as ever. Master of all.
When I hear the Beatles music now on you tube, I get a strange feeling wash over me, for it brings back so many memories of a carefree time and the fact I was there as a young teenager , and from Liverpool too when the Beatles first came to prominence, what a great era to have been living in and able to enjoy it, unlike now
Love it! Saw Paul McCartney several times over the last 25 years and always brings a tear to my eye as it does to so many others. These were songs from such a beautiful and memorable time. A much kinder time where there wasn't so much ugliness.
I don't think a lot of the younger people realize what they are witnessing. One of the greatest ever. John and Paul will always be the top 2. Untouchables
You really have to see McCartney do this live and hear the mix blasting out to experience the chills you feel by watching him and his band do this song.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
They practiced to reproduce carefully. Those high vocals by the younger guys are very satisfying. The audience got their money's worth, and you see the pleasure. In that one song, they resurrected the Beatles for just 2 glorious minutes..
I'm 65 now and i don't know why i'm crying when i'm listng this song...:-( All my young years (Ed Sullivan, started to play bass in a few groups, the girls coming just to watch my Hofner ;-)...all those memories came back with that beautiful melody...:-) Thanks to the Beatles and Paul :-)
After many, many years ... I’m 66, and hearing Beatles songs again, I had the same nostalgic, emotional response the lady at 1:50 - 1:52 had! To the younger woman it’s a nice song. To the elderly, a flashback to a simpler, more enjoyable and saner era! #GreatReminiscence
WOW - I am 61 and even now this song just gets you! Harder and Heavier than I had thought in the '60s - but Paul (and the rest of the Beatles) were musical genius' !
Watching people cry when he performs really shows how much of an impact he has on people..I know that he pretty much brings me to tears when I see Paul perform now!
I have to agree with most people on here. I'm blessed to have grown up with Paul. McCartney and the Beatles. I truly loved them all but Paul had a different spark. He always will..
The woman holding her face crying is the mother of Kim Keyes, she’s an amazing singer (she turns to watch her mom cry, lol). She toured with Amy Grant and you can see her in the Michael W. Smith/Amy Grant UA-cam Lead Me On (she belts out the ending chords....amazing! ua-cam.com/video/lV9MWZ5KVpU/v-deo.html I’m sure she had very good seats. The film crew zoomed in on her and her mom because they captured the emotion.
I am so glad that Paul does so many Beatle songs in his concerts. We all know how incredible they all were as solo artists but I'm sure he realized that he is the only one that can bring the Beatles back to us in concert .He is very special to do that especially for us babyboomers.
I dont know why I never noticed, having seen this live... but they really rock that song up and make it heavier string wise than the studio version and their circa 60s live performances... super cool!...

It was 100% John's song, and one of his best vocals... also released well before they exploded onto the scene... One of, if not "the best" of the early stuff IMHO.
George's Iconic Riff and fills were magic...
@@michael52250 this song was part of the reason they exploded on to the scene
@@standrew131 In the UK it did and was their first #1... It bombed (really bombed with no media) in the US but was re-released after the Sullivan show and did well along with so many others... that's when they exploded onto the world scene. Notice it didn't make the set list on the Sullivan show that made them a world phenomenon... from a Beatles Music History Piece.
"The Fab Four played three songs -- “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You” -- before taking a 35-minute break for other performers. Then they took the studio stage again to play “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” much to the delight of their screaming, swooning fans. An estimated 73 million people in the U.S. watched the show that night, establishing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as American idols'"
None the less... a great one!

Yes....😎

@@TJ_USA I am from Argentina ... and the truth is that the English were born to make music .... a pity that it is no longer ... so ... or there are very few .... in Argentina there is very good rock ... with a lot of prestige won in Latin America ... but there are also very few good rock bands ... and the beatles are the biggest in history ..
It didn't officially reach number one in the UK charts, there is a bit of a story behind why.
@@GeeCeeWU oh why?
It's worth being old to have experienced this young.
It's impossible to describe to someone who isn't a fan and didn't grow up with The Beatles, just what it feels like to see Paul McCartney playing these songs live. It exposes something deep in our psyche...maybe a kind of early self-discovery that became a keynote throughout our lives...something confirming alongside the memories and the connections and a lifetime lived as we now face old age and mortality. There's a gratitude and a wonder. It's almost unfathomable and people find themselves crying without grasping exactly why.
It was a great time to be young and alive. I remember hearing my first Beatles song on the radio, and they became a huge part of my life after that. Very few things compare.
I went from being a ten year old listening to Twist & Shout in my bedroom, to being an 18 year old soldier and listening to Get Back in Vietnam.
That's a very good explanation for non-boomers! You had to be there for Beatle-mania, and then continue growing up with them! I had a very visceral experience to seeing and hearing Paul, like seeing an old friend...
Perfectly said, David. I saw Paul in 1976 in Tucson as a 16 year old...front row against the stage barricade directly in front of Paul and Linda. That experience is for me now, manifestly reaffirming and serves as a spiritual constant that I am eternally grateful for as well. Thank you for your great observations and comment.
Very well put and a thoughtful post at that. I believe all you state is spot on.
David Sumeray I agree. I wasent alive when The Beatles were around but I'm a die hard fan. I've seen Paul live twice and both times I cried
To be honest, I teared up watching this. I remember my mom and dad taking me to the Boomer Theater in my home town of Norman, Oklahoma, to see "It's Been A Hard Days Night" back in about 1963-64. My mom and dad are both deceased now, but the memory of that night, the Fab 4, and being with my mom and dad will live in my mind forever. For all of us aging Baby Boomers, we grew up in a magical time!!!!!!
+Robert Sunderland proper music
+Robert Sunderland I still tear up. I'll watch this over and over again. I remember Christmas time 1963-64 shopping with mom and dad in old San Antonio and going into Sears and listening to the car radio. I'm 64 now and still love their music. Great being a boomer and we're still fortunate that Paul has got this great band and still crankin' out great these great tunes. Fantastic.
+John Echterhoff Same memories for me John, but in East London England, at our school Christmas party. It was an exciting time to be young. Then I saw them in concert a few weeks later but couldnt really hear them for the screaming ! I,m a "Boomer" at 65 now and I still dig their music too. Little did we all realise then that Paul, Ringo ( and indeed The Stones), would still be packing out concert halls in 2016 !!! Where do the years go mate ??
ure a good man Robert
Oh God, Robert. DIDN'T WE?
When I hear "Please Please Me" I instantly think of my youth and "Beatlemania"! Like the audience, tears well up in my eyes remembering those wonderful early days of The Beatles! What a purely innocent time it was!
These songs can make a person get emotional, they just send you back to a better place in time.
Tears of 😹 joy
@@martinlynch599 Tears of a much more carefree time
I must have played this video a hundred times. Absolutely love it. Love the audience shots❤❤
It makes me cry, and I can't really explain it, just good memories from a simpler time I guess!
Same here. I can't explain it either.
Same. Driving to school and singing these songs way back when.
Same here .. It's that spirit of old simple time .. everything was more beautiful then
Prin Pie Wow... we're just a bunch of old baby boomers talking about how much we love The Beatles... i cannot fathom how that makes us racist... I can only conclude that you don't know the meaning of the word! Go spew your vile rhetoric somewhere else and leave us to our wonderful memories of Beatle mania!
Yeah.The blacks just won't quit.
I’m 70 years old. I remind that song, it’s amazing. Beatles for ever ❤️
Monica, me too.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
we are so blessed for this kind of songs. we will never hear anything like this ever again! thank you, 60s 70s 80s AND 90s
God I love The Beatles. No band can ever compare. Their music is timeless earning younger and younger fans even today.
John is probably looking down, with a smile on his face.
+Per Normann - Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try.
+Robert J. Williamson Lennon meant that not in the way as to actually suggest there was no heaven. He meant it as a way to say anyone can convince themselves of anything if they really want to close their eyes... ANYTHING! It is a fact Lennon (as well as the other three who were or ARE christians now) believed in God, Satan, heaven, hell, etc. Lennon tried to convince himself otherwise [contrary to his upbringing] for a number of years, but came full circle [back] to the faith of his childhood and teens some years before his death.
Just as the word states, "Bring your child up in the way he should go, and when he grows older he will not depart from the faith."
Get to know your creator, your eternal family, my friend. It's what you were created for... to be in God's loving family... forever and ever. No more pain, no more sickness, no more sorrow, no more death... no more of this cursed temporal beginning and end to everything we are subjected to in this brief life.
Don't believe? The next time you are by yourself, humor me, by asking God, "If you're real, if you are really out there like so many claim, then reveal yourself to me in a real and definite way."
One thing I can assure you of... he WILL! After that -- while there is just no explaining it, you must find out for yourself -- you will know, that you know, that you know, that you know... and no one will ever again be able to convince you of the myth that "There is no God".
This make me so sad and so happy at the same time! :`3
John was not a Christian, here are the lyrics to the song GOD, proving it.
I suggest you post a quote from John where he says he was a Christian. The only Beatle to return to Christianity is Ringo.
There is zero evidence for a heaven, and any God that tortures people in hell for not believing in him, is not a loving God. A million children die from a lack of clean water each year, why does your God not help them, if he answers prayers as you claim?
"God"
God is a Concept by which we measure our pain
I'll say it again
God is a Concept by which we measure our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in Tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
JOHN LENNON
+Robert J. Williamson lol find some other windmills to fight will you.
I’m 72 years of age now - 59 years I’m still a fan of The Beatles music - I hear this and I want to get up and shake my bootie !! 🎉 😊
300 years from now people will STILL be jamming to The Beatles...Their music will live forever!!!
If they have any sense, they will. With the way the world is going right now, we'll have either self-destructed or everyone will be listening the likes of Taylor, Cardi, Sheeran or Drake...Yikes - now that's a bleak future...
It is so great to have Paul keeping the Beatles music alive. ❤A shout out to Ringo ❤John and George would be proud 🎶
I have around 3500 singles and albums BUT this was my very first record that I ever bought when I was 8 years old in 1964! I totally understand the emotion of people watching Paul McCartney sing this song live. I get choked up watching it too.
Beautiful
Thanks to paul to keep Beatles music alive
Fall of 2005. Saw this today..............best thing I have seen in many years. Thank you Paul.
oH my goodness. This is stunning. It's the Beatles with a modern sound system. Can you imagine the power with the other three.
I was honored to be able to see this show twice. The second time, I took my 15 year old nephew to the show (his first-ever rock concert). The first time I saw the show, I never got out of my seat to get a drink...or use the restroom. This radio DJ saw his childhood coming back before his eyes and it felt...so...damn...good. I have such wonderful memories.
A wonderful version of the original, thanks Paul and the team up there. In tears.
Those driving guitars from Rusty & Brian really add another dimension to the song!!
When you hear that opening few seconds of guitar work, you hear why the Beatles woke everyone up and completely changed the music world! Fantastic.
There was such pure joy expressed in The Beatles early songs
The pure joy on the faces of the crowd at this concert and the other venues on this tour are all we need to know of the impact the Beatles had on the world and continue to have today 2024 .❤
brings the tears, the joy, the memories, the innocence, God Bless you Paul, Cherish the Beatles
Dear God almighty I'm so pleased I was born 1953 to witness the groups from England tamba motown punk and pop rock and rock from my generation how gifted was I thank you ❤❤❤
So nice to see so many smiling faces from ALL
age groups.
Greatest composer of all time, face it. Amazing talent.
This song is perfect, it has everything, so joyful, so powerful.
No doubt. The Beatles...the greatest of all time.
Nothing would have happened with the Beatles without John LENNON God rest his soul. McCartney has his own style and talent but without John George and MR Starkey History would not be the same
I would give anything to see Paul play live.
Same here my man.
i've seen and it was worth of...!!
+Hugh Corston What Beatles fan hasn't had a boy crush on Paul. Shit, he's Paul. I've had one since I was 13 back in '76 & still going strong. And I'm married with kids.
Joshua, if you ever get the chance, do so. I saw the Beatles back in 1965, and so i can truthfully say that Paul puts on a show that not only respects the past with the Beatles, but also with Wings and as a solo. It's a great show. Even if you have to sell something to get the money, go...at least once in your life.
joshua serafini I did
Once Paul begins to sing, many people start to cry.
And, so do I.
Awesome
Cry and croak in pain.
That would be me.
Sometimes It's impossible to describe to someone who never been witness The Beatles, but Paul McCartney playing it live. You've to be thankful that he still with us.
It makes you cry because of so many memories growing up.
Yup . So many people have no clue just how big the Beatles were ; and indeed how the social climate was in the States ; as well as the world . The Beatles came along with happy music that ; IMHO ; helped to heal (for a little while) the shock of the Kennedy assassination ; the Cold War tensions ; and some other things that I was really too young to remember !
I've watched this 7 times now. Yeah teared up... Because the crowd is so in to it... All ages! I was fortunate to be a teen in the late 60s when their music defined a generation.... And here we are 50+ years later still loving their music!!!
I got to see the Beatles in 1965 at the Atlanta Stadium. Paul McCartney has always put on a stellar performance. I look at the faces of many of the people and they are crying because a bit of there past is right in front of them and it is great.
This clip just shows how big and influencial the Beatles were…every time Macca plays one of their songs, you see people dancing, singing, crying, whatever their age maybe. That the sign of true legends
I never get tired of listening to Paul. He brings his fans so much happiness. And he is just one very loving man. He's got it all together. Long live Paul McCartney!
And that's what John and George could never understand. Paul loved playing live and making people happy and to this day, still does.
@@Dana-wq5tp That is a bit harsh! You and others could never understand or comprehend the madness faced, and pressures the Beatles were under, when touring - no other band in history had to cope and manage the issues the Beatles had to face when on tour. It became too much, so John and George wanted out.
@@dannyvine3605 Which Paul eventually agreed with. But as far as being the incurable showman, he always had that in him and it was much stronger than John or George. He was definitely the last one in the group to finally admit that the touring was killing them both artistically and physically.
How I still miss John's voice and Ringo's drumming!
I love Paul doing John's songs. A touching tribute to his old friend.
DJ Alex Xavier Shut up. Anyone who says that is beyond stupid.
To be fair, they both wrote it.
DJ Alex Xavier conspiration teory
more a John song nonetheless
Brett Stanton
Dude, shut up.
I have loved the Beatles since I was 7 years of age and Paul was always my favourite, I just love the guy. I went to see him in Hyde Park several years back and when he started to sing some of the old Beatle songs I was just so choked up and was crying, then I looked across to my boyfriend and saw he was also crying. One of the best days of my life!
sweet
Grandfathers, babes in arms, original fans, teenagers, people laughing, crying, rocking, singing and dancing.
People of all ages, colours and creeds and orientations rockin’ their butts off.
And on stage ? A 78 year old great grandad !
Music is truly the international language.
Saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 and I was hooked for life. Never got to see them but saw Wings in 1976 and in May 2022 will finally get to see Paul again for what could be the last time.
I'm not born in 1960's, 70's and 80's. but i can't explain why i'm crying when paul played the beatles songs.
Jesus, what a performance…the crowd reactions tell it all
One of McCartney's finest moments - reaching peoples' heart where few others can. Oh! get that music behind me, it is too much to bear for us old-timers who once knew happy times in an uncomplicated world.
Agreed!🥰
Uncomplicated only because we were young.
Paul is a national treasure. I'm so pleased he is still playing. This music still resonates in 2021.
The early Beatles songs had timeless charm and are of unrivalled quality
Totally agree. The peak of their "beat" music imo was "I wanna hold your hand" after that I dont think there was a pattern to their music,they tried many things (and as history shows) were successful with everything.
1963 was the best tho.........imo
Spot on.
@@dw69ful Precisely, they were very versatile and evolved with their music, but how could you not like their Sergeant Pepper album?
Like Levis, always works.
The Beatles entire catalog has timeless charm and unrivaled quality, but yeah, those early ones....
Good God! That song STILL thrills, doesn't it? And it still stirs up an emotional response, though whereas people shed tears initially because they knew they were witnessing something that not only was great but was something new, something that had never happened before, now we get emotional because it reminds of just how great it really was and how well it has stood the test of time. Add to that the awareness that we are witnessing the final years of that phenomenon, bringing to mind and fulling the heart with the knowledge that life is transient, that all things must pass and that we are here today...
Absolutely Nailed It ! I still have some of their albums from 1963. I was nine years old.
Men and women just standing there crying. The Beatles music means so much to so many.
I love, love ❤️ seeing the young people in the audience singing 🎶and dancing❗️Beatle power‼️
Paul still inspires Beatlemania just by himself. He also just makes people happy. What an incredible life.
2023 - this song still stands the test of time as a great rock n roll tune.
I can't explain why this song and this performance made me feel so emotional! Everything was so great in my life since then and I'm here hearing it again, but now I can also see them and the happiness of everybody.
I love it at the end when the camera picks up the fans crying. The song brings back many memories for all.
So it wasn't just young females who cried at Beatles concerts, now it's their parents too!
@@yootoober2009 I'm a 67 year male and I'm tearing up!
They really nailed that one.
nailed it good.
and the audience was going crazy - crazy happy - not just orgasmic like in the old days
The energy and excitement in this song is enduring and magical. Fabulous in fact! A crucial element is Paul’s bass - such momentum, it’s like he’s leading a hunting party.
this director is great in capturing the exciting moments in the audience, I repeat a great one!
How is it that the Beatles music never gets old? Even their simpler early stuff just keeps on giving. They really were unique.
We simply had never heard anything like this before. The excitement was indescribable.
Beatles, 1960's gift from God. Forever the greatest
I had the privilege of seeing Paul and Co. at the SSE Hydro, in Glasgow about a couple years ago. Best by far concert I have ever attended.. I was so happy to see my favourite artist who I have always admired, perform as good as ever. Master of all.
When I hear the Beatles music now on you tube, I get a strange feeling wash over me, for it brings back so many memories of a carefree time and the fact I was there as a young teenager , and from Liverpool too when the Beatles first came to prominence, what a great era to have been living in and able to enjoy it, unlike now
Love it! Saw Paul McCartney several times over the last 25 years and always brings a tear to my eye as it does to so many others. These were songs from such a beautiful and memorable time. A much kinder time where there wasn't so much ugliness.
I don't think a lot of the younger people realize what they are witnessing. One of the greatest ever. John and Paul will always be the top 2. Untouchables
I am 72 now. I will never be 172 years of age but I never evet wiill forget these words of the songs of JPG and Ringo.
That was a terrific rendition. Especially all the voices. Very rich harmony. Thumbs up.
You really have to see McCartney do this live and hear the mix blasting out to experience the chills you feel by watching him and his band do this song.
This song keeps getting better as decades keep marching on.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Love this song originally and now especially its presentation here!
Proof that oldies ROCK!!!
They practiced to reproduce carefully. Those high vocals by the younger guys are very satisfying. The audience got their money's worth, and you see the pleasure. In that one song, they resurrected the Beatles for just 2 glorious minutes..
Jolly Good
I'm 65 now and i don't know why i'm crying when i'm listng this song...:-( All my young years (Ed Sullivan, started to play bass in a few groups, the girls coming just to watch my Hofner ;-)...all those memories came back with that beautiful melody...:-) Thanks to the Beatles and Paul :-)
LOL, I'm 63 got choked up also, "Memories"..
I am 61 and also cried...I had low expectations for this version, but wow, they so knocked it out of the park
You call yours a Hofner ?
70 and i'm more than choked up. glad my wife and kid are in the living room.
Sir Paul has performed in front of the grandmother,mother and granddaughter at many concerts.
After many, many years ... I’m 66, and hearing Beatles songs again, I had the same nostalgic, emotional response the lady at 1:50 - 1:52 had! To the younger woman it’s a nice song. To the elderly, a flashback to a simpler, more enjoyable and saner era! #GreatReminiscence
WOW - I am 61 and even now this song just gets you! Harder and Heavier than I had thought in the '60s - but Paul (and the rest of the Beatles) were musical genius' !
Watching people cry when he performs really shows how much of an impact he has on people..I know that he pretty much brings me to tears when I see Paul perform now!
Timeless, priceless and never to be duplicated ever again, thank god for the UA-cam archives
I have to agree with most people on here. I'm blessed to have grown up with Paul. McCartney and the Beatles. I truly loved them all but Paul had a different spark. He always will..
1:52 woman holding her face crying, exactly my emotion hearing this, overwheleming
The woman holding her face crying is the mother of Kim Keyes, she’s an amazing singer (she turns to watch her mom cry, lol). She toured with Amy Grant and you can see her in the Michael W. Smith/Amy Grant UA-cam Lead Me On (she belts out the ending chords....amazing!
ua-cam.com/video/lV9MWZ5KVpU/v-deo.html
I’m sure she had very good seats. The film crew zoomed in on her and her mom because they captured the emotion.
I am so glad that Paul does so many Beatle songs in his concerts. We all know how incredible they all were as solo artists but I'm sure he realized that he is the only one that can bring the Beatles back to us in concert .He is very special to do that especially for us babyboomers.
I dont know why I never noticed, having seen this live... but they really rock that song up and make it heavier string wise than the studio version and their circa 60s live performances... super cool!...
I am from Russia. The Beatles live in my heart.
Ok
