Linda McCartney, his wife [the blonde] singing back up vocals and playing synthesizer keyboard. the song was written about her saving him from a downward spiral of alcohol and depression after the Beatles broke up, but BEORE the public knew it. She talked him into doing a solo album "McCartney" released in 1970. Maybe I'm Amazed should have been released as a single but never was. Radio stations played it as if it were a single. This is the song from that album played live in the mid 1970's by Paul's group Wings. The 1970 studio version had only Paul playing ALL of the instruments and singing all of the vocals, maybe with Linda's help. Linda died of cancer in April 1998...I miss her...
I recommend the studio version (album title "McCartney") of this beautiful tune. If you like McCartney and/or the Beatles, the McCartney album - his first, after the Beatles breakup and before he formed the band Wings - is absolutely gorgeous and should be listened to as a whole. Paul played all the instruments on the album, and Linda sang some back-up. The photos of the family on/in the album jacket are pretty special too. Linda was a professional photographer and produced some spectacular books of photography before she died.
Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. He has so many great songs such as "Band On The Run", "Jet", "Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "My Love", "Helen Wheels", "Let Me Roll It", "Junior's Farm", "Venus & Mars/Rock Show", "Mull Of Kintyre", "With A Little Luck" etc.
My friend was at this show or another on the same tour. He gave me an 8x10 photograph that he took of Paul at the piano from the same angle. He's wearing the same sparkling jacket and white scarf, and also white shoes and socks. I've had the photo under the glass of my coffee table for more than forty years, and it is stuck there now.
This was one of Paul's finest performance's of his life here, and they caught it on film...amazing. At this point, about 1976, he had proven he didn't need the Beatles, he just needed an audience. I believe this was from the Wings Over America tour, and film and album of the same title. he was 34 at the time. You cannot expect an 82 year old today to sing like that.
Sarah as others have said this was written for his wife linda. as were other of his songs. most notably ' my love' the live version from this same concert will open your tear floodgates!
A great reaction to a great performance by the great Paul McCartney and Wings during the Wings Over America tour of 1976, I am pretty sure! Thank you Sarah for sharing your joy with us!!
...there is only one Paul McCartney... this song was dedicated to his wife Linda, who was to be seen in this video on stage as part of the band (long blond hair)... she was the love of his life (she died in 1998 of cancer; they had 4 children together + 1 from her first marriage)... 💖
This song gets me every time, his vocals are amazing. Sarah, please react to the Beatles son "Oh Darlin'", its one of Pauls finest and there are so may!
The guy playing bass in this is Denny Laine, Paul's right hand man who stuck with him and Linda the whole duration of "Wings" for 10 years when other members would quit. He recently passed away Dec.5, 2023. Denny also played guitar and some piano. Wrote songs. He was a founding member of the Moody Blues, another British Band of the 1960's/70's, and he sang lead vocal on their first hit in 1965 "Go Now."
In 2013, McCartney went on "The Colbert Report" to promote the DVD release of his "Rock Show" film, and the re-release of his "Wings Over America" album. He gave a great interview by Stephen Colbert. Mr Colbert told the audience prior to McCartney coming out, that he told him its a half hour show and that he had time to do one song. McCartney immediately agreed to an hour long show and play six songs, which he did.
@Sarah- First and foremosts you look great rocking The Elvis hat. Absolutely love it. Thanks for this reaction. I love Paul McCartney and Baby I'm amazed is one of my fav songs ever. The one backup singer with the blonde hair was his wife Linda. They were married for years before she died of Cancer.
@@strathman7501 WOW, the fact that his live performances and VOCALS are always much MORE passionate than his studio recordings, is WHY I LOVE those LIVE performances BETTER, especially when it's also a video too. I LOVE WATCHING him perform. The studio version of this is shorter and doesn't have as good of an ending as this does.
@@patticrichton1135 I like watching too, and I'm glad this live video exists. The whole show is fantastic. The live energy is something special. But personally, considering just the music, I think the studio original has a dynamical range and a variety of texture and detail that gets smoothed away in live versions - for one example, the twin-guitar counterpoint in the original is missing, and although Jimmy plays his solo beautifully something is lost. And if we want visuals, well personally I love the slide-show style video that goers with the studio version. But of course, tastes will vary. It's all good!
The first album I ever bought as a kid in the mid-1970's was The Beatles blue album "1967-1970". Then their red album, "1962-1966". My third album purchase was McCartney's "Wings Over America", still my favorite live album to this day. My older brother already had all The Beatles albums from the 1960's, in addition to probably every classic 70's hard rock album ever recorded at that time. Musically, I had a great childhood.
I saw one of his concerts in zRotterdam, with Wings and Linda and it was more then great ! Unforgettable atmosphere the whole evening,, full of nostalgia! Goosebumps the whole evening….
Another wonderful reaction, Sarah. ❤ The song was off Paul's first solo album, released almost simultaneously with his announcement that The Beatles have broken up. So it was tough at first for people to fully appreciate the quality of that album on which Paul played ALL the instruments. They were just in grief and shock at the end of the legendary band. The song is widely understood to be about his wife, Linda, who was there playing keyboards in this performance. Pretty cool, eh? 😁
You could react to EVERY song from this 1976 concert tour , which this performance here, is part of (which went under the title "ROCKSHOW" originally released to movie theatres in 1980, then on VHS, and now you can get it on DVD or watch it all on You Tube. This 1976 concert tour wa referred to as the "WINGS OVER AMERICA" tour. I saw this 1976 tour in May of '76 in Detroit, Michigan.
1 of my fav macartney songs, rip denny guitar bass vocal writer, recently died. pauls snging n piano playing so gd live, hes such a fine muso, is sentiments in his writing show his gd heart, sadly hiw wife here linda ( keys bckn vocal died youngsh?, she was v lite of his life. also pauls mum died whn he was 14, pauls knows hw 2 value ones close 2 him, life is fragile.
Linda McCartney died from breast cancer on April 17, 1998 at the age of 56 (she was born on Sept. 24, 1941) Paul and Linda had just celebrated their 29th year of marriage on March 12, 1998.
He loved his wife Linda more than anything during their 29 year marriage until the day she passed away from cancer! He cried every day in bed for a year and she has truly remained the soul of his heart! His children helped him through. He did find happiness with his present wife Nancy.
I love the way you enjoy music. It makes me feel happy. If you have a chance please listen to Austin brown covering bring him home (like you've never heard it)
You Really Need To React To "Oh! Darling" By The Beatles If You Haven't Done It Yet... Paul McCartney On Vocals. You're Gonna Need Some Tissues For That One!!!
This is my favorite of Paul's songs. That beautiful blonde lady singing background was his wife, Linda. This song was for her. R.I.P. Linda
He wrote the song very shortly after the Beatles breakup. He ones said his wife Linda saved his life in this time.
once said
You can't ever go wrong with anything by The Beatles or any of it's members, that is a great performance.

Can't go wrong with Pual McCarthy, one of the greatest song's
"McCartNey"
@@patticrichton1135 Billy Shepherd
He wrote this song for his wife of 29 years before she died of cancer. This is her, singing here 1:05. RIP
Saw Paul a few years ago. The best concert ever. 3 1/2 hours nonstop. Amazing!!
He really loved Linda, tragic loss for him.she seemed a sweet person.
Your listening and watching greatness never to be again ever again.......lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
This is why I love watching reaction videos..
Same
Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. He has so many great songs such as "Band On The Run", "Jet", "Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "My Love", "Helen Wheels", "Let Me Roll It", "Junior's Farm", "Venus & Mars/Rock Show", "Mull Of Kintyre", "With A Little Luck" etc.
Don't forget the rock song "Girl's School", the "B" side of the Mull of Kintyre single.
My friend was at this show or another on the same tour. He gave me an 8x10 photograph that he took of Paul at the piano from the same angle. He's wearing the same sparkling jacket and white scarf, and also white shoes and socks. I've had the photo under the glass of my coffee table for more than forty years, and it is stuck there now.
actually that is not a white scarf, it is the long lapels of his jacket. I saw this 1976 concert tour in May in Detroit, Michigan. I was 29 then.
Take a bow Linda it was for you. RIP
Great reaction, you could literally spend the rest of your life reacting to Beatles songs and their solo career hits, there’s so many classics ❤
This was one of Paul's finest performance's of his life here, and they caught it on film...amazing. At this point, about 1976, he had proven he didn't need the Beatles, he just needed an audience.

Paul McCartney and Wings was one of my favorite bands back in 70’s, my teen years!
That was Pauls' wife, Linda, on the keyboard and singing background vocals!☮

💯 young lady yes it’s a beautiful song.
Brilliance, genius.
Awesome!! Paul McCartney live is always so much better than the studio version
Great energetic performance, but I far prefer the studio original.

Saw Paul in '89. Cherished memories shared with the best of friends.
Allthat wonderful, wonderful music is nothing if there is no one there to be swept off their feet by it.
Thank you, Sarah.
When I was working in a youth club in Liverpool they played this record and the whole album over and over.
Ya this is a great song
Bravo. Ella ama a los Beatles
You can tell they're on tour, his voice is near shot, and yet he and the band still deliver! Sir Paul and his Wings.
The first album I ever bought as a kid in the mid-1970's was The Beatles blue album "1967-1970". Then their red album, "1962-1966".

Oh yeah.
On the original recording Paul played all the instruments.

Paul plays every instrument and sings all backing vocals on the original studio version.This live version with Wings is my favorite though.
LIkewise, the live version of Band on the Run from the same tour is my preferred version over the original studio version.
This from the "Wings Over America" tour and film. If you ever see the movie for rent or download, check it out.
So luv this song thx.
Please react to Paul McCartney doing his song “My Love”. Another beautiful Paul tune! 😁

❤
Good job loading the live version.
You look very cute in your little Elvis hat!😍
Hey Sarah, how about TOTO "I won't hold you back" which is a powerful ballad.
Listen to Sir Paul’s song,
My Valentine. 💘 ❤
It’s melancholy and beautiful.
Beautiful song. And do nice to see Paul’s lovely wife Linda singing back up 😅
Sad to think most of the musicians on that stage are no longer with us!
I love the way you enjoy music. It makes me feel happy. If you have a chance please listen to Austin brown covering bring him home (like you've never heard it)
