"Live and Let Die' is the title of a James Bond film from 1973 (w Roger Moore as JB) and this song, obviously, is the theme of the film. Bravo, Paul!! You are the man!
@@susanmurray7654 Yes it is, and I think we all should Listen To What The Man Said about these Silly Love Songs. Hopefully, My Love, With A Little Luck, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey will both be Coming Up to join us and we'll gladly Let 'Em In.
Wings Over America Tour was HUge in the Mid 70's. That was a FREEDOM era for America with the Bicentennial celebration we had the Light from the tunnel in our FACES Then. Let's go back to this Feeling and this type of music. Let's Come Together as a Society.
Something like THIS? (Spoiler alert. This is the last five minutes from the 1970's movie "HAIR." If you know it, you'll know why I'm linking to it here. If not, and u don't mind the spoiler, the story is self-explanatory,and it's one of the most moving film segments I know of). Also, I was on the grass in front of the Washington Monument for the 1976 July 4th fireworks show. 4th grade with my family and 100,000 of our closest friends, woohoo!
@@melvinwomack3717Yeah I'd also like to see them react to McCartney's... GOODNIGHT TONIGHT COMING UP LIVE NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS THE PLAYOUT VERSION ROUGH RIDE ARROW THROUGH ME All great songs I think AIRPLAY BEATS would enjoy!
IMO in 1973, his #1 single from Red Rose Speedway album, My Love, and a TV special, and the Live and Let Die Theme, also went #1, saved Paul McCartney's career from tanking....permanently? Don't know.
I was 10 years old when “live and let die” came out. I remember going to the movies to see it. I love Paul McCartneys solo work just as much as his Beatles days.
I was 12 and we saw it multiple times it the movie theater because a friend of one of my brothers had a Glastron boat like the one in the movie. ( in the movie production, that type boat made a world record jump over land) and we used to go water skiing behind one..... Definitely not the best boat to try to ski behind, but we had a blast. So this song and the movie hold a special place in my memory. Gosh, the 70's were great.
Paul was asked to write the theme song for the James Bond film, "Live And Let Die", so Paul, the genius that he is, combined a pop song with a James Bond Movie soundtrack. This was a huge hit, and is even better when he plays it live in concerts. You should look up a live video of him playing it, it's amazing.
That concert was the same night as my high school graduation in Seattle so I couldn't go. So long ago, time flies! I did get to see Aerosmith later that year in the Kingdome. It sucked as a concert venue, that's for sure.
By now many have already told you it was the theme song of, “Live and Let Die”, Bond James Bond. My first concert I was a month shy of 17, was the Wings Over America tour, Paul McCartney and Wings, and they blew the roof off of the Kingdome on this song…..
Yes it certainly was.When I saw him he opened with A Hard Days Night did tributes to each Beatle and a tribute to Jimi Hendrix playing Foxy Lady playing lead guitar.
McCartney was the Beatles’ orchestra leader with the grand vision-Mystery Tour, Pepper. Lennon was pure rock and roll. You can hear it here with Wings.
Paul said when he started learning music as a kid, there was no rock and roll, so he figured he'd be writing show/pub songs, and trained himself accordingly. The rest is fantastic history.
I have seen Wings live in Amsterdam at the Concertgebouw in the early seventies and in the late eighties in Rotterdam. It was awesome. Greetings from the Netherlands. 🎶🎶🙋♀️😘
Growing up with songs like this on AM radio which was so accessible is one of the reasons those of us raised with that don’t bat an eye at such a diversified banger. So much variety in pop music then - something like this would be followed by Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Derek & the Dominoes. Just amazing compositions, production that was discernible even through mono recordings played through tiny, tinny speakers. 🔊
When I saw him live in the 90’s, it was him at the piano for this one. And when the get to the part “And if this ever-changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry . . . “ BOOM! Fireworks and pyrotechnics - “Say live and let die” BOOM! The crowd loved it.
Agreed. Worth adding that the orchestrated parts are also McCartney and Wings segments. What you hear in the finished product is basically already there on the Wings studio tape before orchestration; George Martin's score dramatises and decorates the instrumentals but doesn't really add any new material. You can find audio on UA-cam of Paul coaching Wings through those parts.
WheN Paul played this for the producer of the Bond movie (same name), The producer laughed and said "quit fooling around and play me the REAL song" Paul assured him that this IS the song!. The producer hated it, but Paul promised it would be a hit. And it was!!!
What I remember is something George Martin said: The movie producer treated McCartney's recording as a demo, and asked Martin who they should get to sing it. Martin told him something like, "No, that's the finished version - take it or leave it." Apparently the Bond producer knew next to nothing about the music scene in 1973, and had no idea how lucky he was to have McCartney on board.
Kozinn and Sinclair found that this story is a misunderstanding, though often retold, even by George Martin himself. The title song was always contracted to be McCartney and Wings, but the song was set to be reprised during the film in a club sequence. Apparently what Broccoli meant was "Who are we going to get to sing it in *that* scene?"
@@strathman7501 Okay, well that clears it up. It's the B.J. Arnau version. It's certainly not the only time George Martin misremembered something in an interview.
The Beatles pretty much invented progressive rock, combining orchestral, jazz, folk, psychedelic, avant garde, world music elements with rock and pop songs, adding diffrrent song and instrumental sections together into longer pieces. They clearly do that on Sgt. Pepper, but Rubber Soul and Revolver are moving in that direction too. They weren't alone in expanding the boundaries of 'beat' music but were certainly one of the earliest pioneer bands of what became 'prog'.
A sweet thing was that Roger Moore, who was the new James Bond for this film in 1973 but who had already been a huge star for nearly 20 years, managed to get a tape of this song shortly after it was finished and walked around playing it to the cast and crew on location, excited and effusive about how good he thought it was.
I love how LA began that trademark head shake as soon as the backup vocals kicked in, as if to say, "Here we go. My man Paul has probably thought of everything." 😄
I assumed Band on the Run was the better album because of some hits, but then I sat down and listened to Venus and Mars. You know what they say about assuming lol
I saw him do this live at Tokyo Dome a few years ago, it was fantastic. They added in all these pyrotechnics, flames, etc. It was for a movie, no doubt. James Bond "Live And Let Die" in the '70s Thanks guys.
i always wanted to grow up and be Paul MacCartney. damn never happened. lol in my top four or five of all time. great music lyrics performance and just a good human. hope you enjoy.
Oscar winning song for the Bond movie. George Martin didn't produce much or McCartney's solo work. Paul wanted a different sound, but this was a song for a movie, not on a PM album until years later on reissues. Its not Prog, just typical bombastic action movie orchestration with Rock and Reggae in between. He gets royalties, but Sony got the many Beatles songs from Michael Jackson when he was bankrupt. PM owns all his solo music publishing rights.
Our band director in junior high loved this song so much, so he worked on getting the band and the orchestra together to do it and then a few kids singing the vocal parts. They did a great job! But you can see why music directors would love this song with all the instrumentation. Have you all checked out Paul McCartney's song with Michael Jackson from the early 80's called "Say, Say, Say"? A fun song with Paul McCartney's wife, Linda (RIP), as well as Latoya Jackson. It's worth checking out.
It fits James Bond music so well! It was nominated for an Oscar, too. This one that Paul did on his own really sounds Beatles-esque to me, he's so incredibly talented. Guns N Roses have a very good cover of this, too, they did it justice.
The Wings Over America tour in Denver in June of 1976 was the first time I'd ever seen lasers used at a live concert. They used those freakin' lasers during the crashing instrumentals in this Bond-theme song. Lasers shooting from the stage all over the inside of the sports arena. Freakin' amazing! What a great show!
La: "He was a BIG part of the Beatles... HUGE". Yessir. As I heard it, Paul was the glue that held the Beatles together, and as the band became more fragmented, John and George hated Paul for pushing them to work and fighting for better management, rejected him, and the Beatles broke up (media blamed Paul, but John quit first). If you want to hear Paul's version of the events, check out Tug of War, another fantastic Martin-produced record, from the fantastic Martin-produced album of the same name: "It's a tug of war, though I know I mustn't grumble, it's a tug of war But I can't let go, if I do you'll take a tumble And the whole thing is going to crumble It's a tug of war" IMO the song and album are a must react. Thanks for another great record and reaction!
Went to see this on opening. With my husband. Soon as I heard the voice I said to him that’s Paul McCartney (lifelong Beatle fan, he wasn’t ). “He said don’t be stupid of course it isn’t. A Beatle wouldn’t be writing a Bond movie song.”Waited till the end watched the credits and squealed loudly it was Paul. love this song 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️
Guns N' Roses covered 'Live and let die' in 1991 and made it a hit single again 🤘🤘🔥🔥 Paul McCartney wrote 'Live and let die' in 1973 when he was asked by the James Bond movie producers to provide the theme song for the 007 movie 'Live and let die' starring a new Bond actor Roger Moore (who was taking over the role from Sean Connery) ... He wrote the track and his wife Linda suggested the reggae bridge in the song... The track was arranged and recorded w/ an orchestra. Thankfully, both the movie and song became hits in 1973...
Saw them perform this during the tour at the Forum in Inglewood. It was the first time a band used laser lights during a performance and the audience went nuts.
One of the best James Bond movie themes, along with Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" and Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger." For a great McCartney banger, check out "Junior's Farm," their first big hit after the great "Band on the Run" album.
When he did this song live, there would be explosions on stage every time during the song when you hear those loud blasts. Also this song was used in the James Bond movie.
Live in Red Square is a great way to watch this one live! The history behind the Beatles and USSR is legendary and you can really appreciate the citizens actually learned to speak English from black market Beatle records
McCartney does it all! I love George and John beyond words but Mac is the man. He carried the Beatles from Revolver till the end. Before people start screaming at me,of course the others had many huge hits but Paul was most prolific during those last years. If only he had allowed George to showcase his back log of songs!!
When you get a chance to watch the movie, this song is in the opening scene. When the song fades, right into the movie. I guess it would be the video for this song.
Funny story about this song: saw Paul in concert a couple times. In the beginning of this song, after he sings the first verse, there’s a loud blast (for lack of a better word). In concert, I swear they set off a cannon. Well, when the cannon blasts I screamed, startled. The guy next to me looked at me like “WTF, lady.” My sister was laughing and said “be prepared, it’s coming again.” I *know* the song. And yet, when the second blast comes I screamed again. Everyone laughed at me. 🫤 Also, this is from the James Bond movie of the same name. 🤓
I'm hoping you Haven't done BAND ON THE RUN yet to see it fresh 😊 Also awesome is UNCLE ALBERT/ ADMIRAL HALSEY!! JET is pretty cool SILLY LOVE SONGS was big too!! COOL BEATS!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
As mentioned, this is the theme song to the Bond film of the same name--wild movie, check it out! They set a Guiness Book record for the longest boat jump in that one. Also Guns 'N' Roses did a banging cover.
Got to see Wings in the 70s at the sweaty old Boston Garden. The fact that I was seeing a Beatle was amazing. McCartneys concert at Red Square in Moscow is a must see. It was a blend of Beatles and McCartneys solo stuff, with Wings stuff too. (This song was awesome) To see the Russian fans absolutely rocking, singing every song, and probably not knowing what the lyrics meant, and actually crying is testament to how much he and the Beatles affected people for decades, especially during the Cold War years when the Beatles were considered capitalist social rot. This was back when Putin had just come into power. You’ll see him make an entrance to his seats. Back In The USSR, is so surreal when it is played, definitely worth a watch.
An argument could be made that The Beatles created prog-rock with "Eleanor Rigby" and other songs from The White Album and Abbey Road (the Medley for example). The guys in Yes were fans of the Beatles, for example, they mixed the lyrics from "Give Peace A Chance" into "All Good People".
This was a big production number for a James Bond film! That’s why the instrumental. Song is LIVe and let die.
Guns and Roses recorded it as well ❤
McCartneys post Beatles career is almost as impressive as his Beatles days. Both wings and solo McCartney are monstrous
I'd say he only took off post-Beatles a bit like Sting with The Police.
All of them were fantastic solo
It's my favorite Bond movie song.
A View to a Kill is a good second favorite.
Yep. It’s not particularly close either.
Same!💜
Mine too.
Mine is "Nobody Does it Better.:
"Live and Let Die' is the title of a James Bond film from 1973 (w Roger Moore as JB) and this song, obviously, is the theme of the film. Bravo, Paul!! You are the man!
If you haven't heard Paul McCartney singing Maybe I'm Amazed please check it out ( live version )
Well, we disagree. The original version from Paul's debut album stands above any live version. Just an old man's opinion.
Got to be the live version from Wings Over America
Wings over america version is the best
Bond, James Bond.
This guy wrote so many great songs he could do 10 concerts in one city and never have a repeated song and every crowd would love their show
The song was nominated for an Oscar for best Original Song in a Movie.
Band on the Run is a great one to check out
that's a great song!
Yes, Band in the Run is fire.
upvote!
Band on the Run is my fave McCartney album.
Paul McCartney is unquantifiable, uncategorizable, a box unto himself, if he so wishes to be contained.
Don't sleep on Paul McCartney and Wings. They've got some truly great songs.
Its just another day
@@susanmurray7654 Yes it is, and I think we all should Listen To What The Man Said about these Silly Love Songs. Hopefully, My Love, With A Little Luck, Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey will both be Coming Up to join us and we'll gladly Let 'Em In.

gota get rid of v toxic femos first.
Guys, where you heard that one part was ABC Wide World of Sports! They played it and at one point, they show a ski-jumper crashing.
For your next Paul Mccartney reaction. Please do the live version of "Maybe Im Amazed" from Rockshow. You won't be the same after. It's just perfect!
This song was wrote as part of a soundtrack for James Bond film called live let die
The “Band On The Run” album is another one I hope you guys decide to take on (the entire album).
Silly Love Song...that bass line is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Indeed I could be wrong but I think they've done that song
@@melvinwomack3717I don't think so can't find it!
@@thumbsaloft Cool thats going to be one to look forward to 😁
@@melvinwomack3717Yeah I'd also like to see them react to McCartney's...
GOODNIGHT TONIGHT
COMING UP LIVE
NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS THE PLAYOUT VERSION
ROUGH RIDE
ARROW THROUGH ME
All great songs I think AIRPLAY BEATS would enjoy!
I'm into Silly Love Songs for the horns 🎺
There's a certain "feel" that Bond themes have and McCartney captured it perfectly.
Skywalk is also awesome
It was a James Bond theme - movie of the same name.
A Must Watch Live!✌🏻🏴
Paul McCarthy & Wings was so great, their Greatest Hits requires 2 CD’s. Amazing!
In my opinion, the best era of Paul.
IMO in 1973, his #1 single from Red Rose Speedway album, My Love, and a TV special, and the Live and Let Die Theme, also went #1, saved Paul McCartney's career from tanking....permanently? Don't know.
The BEST James Bond song of all time!! From the movie of the same name.
Goldfinger is a close rival.
100%

1976. First concert ever in the old Kingdome in Seattle. You can’t forget moments like that. The ticket cost $10.50. Still have the stub.
Congrats! You lasted longer than the Kingdome... and so did Paul
That concert was the same night as my high school graduation in Seattle so I couldn't go. So long ago, time flies! I did get to see Aerosmith later that year in the Kingdome. It sucked as a concert venue, that's for sure.
Cleveland HS 1974@@wayL0ck

James Bond “Live & Let Die.

So many transitions. McCartney’s explosion of sounds.
Growing up with songs like this on AM radio which was so accessible is one of the reasons those of us raised with that don’t bat an eye at such a diversified banger. So much variety in pop music then - something like this would be followed by Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Derek & the Dominoes. Just amazing compositions, production that was discernible even through mono recordings played through tiny, tinny speakers. 🔊
When that song came out I was 10 years old and my big brother took me to see Live And Let Die and it blew me away!! McCartney was/is pure genius! ❤🎸🥁
This song cemented McCartney as a great musician to me.😊
What the hell, you were late to the party.
One of the all time great movie soundtrack songs
When I saw him live in the 90’s, it was him at the piano for this one. And when the get to the part “And if this ever-changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry . . . “ BOOM! Fireworks and pyrotechnics - “Say live and let die” BOOM! The crowd loved it.

This is great performed live.
Fantastic
That’s a big sounding song. My fav from him. Guns and roses do a great rock cover of it…..
Phenomenal to see and hear this live . I saw them at the Staple Center what an experience! Thanks guys
I saw him do this live at Tokyo Dome a few years ago, it was fantastic. They added in all these pyrotechnics, flames, etc.
It was for a movie, no doubt. James Bond "Live And Let Die" in the '70s
Thanks guys.
Band on the Run is a great song.
Wings are a great band a lot of really great songs ..Paul is Paul so it’s going to be great .
Great song and great bond movie! Another great one is View to a Kill by Duran Duran.
The Guns N Roses' cover of this is 🔥
My favorites from Wings are "Silly Love Songs" and "Take it Away" 😉👍
this is a typical McCartney composition where it sounds like 4 songs blending into each other
Track was produced and scored by George Martin (The Beatles producer).
Amazing song! And great reaction! Paul was so creative!
The Album Band on the Run as well as the song of the same name is a must . Also the songs Jet ,& Let Me Roll It are outstanding.
i always wanted to grow up and be Paul MacCartney. damn never happened. lol in my top four or five of all time. great music lyrics performance and just a good human. hope you enjoy.
Excellent song choice....
The song made the movie and the movie made the song. They were both iconic.
Oscar winning song for the Bond movie. George Martin didn't produce much or McCartney's solo work.

@@TheMike_I it should have because of the grandness of it
Our band director in junior high loved this song so much, so he worked on getting the band and the orchestra together to do it and then a few kids singing the vocal parts. They did a great job! But you can see why music directors would love this song with all the instrumentation.
Have you all checked out Paul McCartney's song with Michael Jackson from the early 80's called "Say, Say, Say"? A fun song with Paul McCartney's wife, Linda (RIP), as well as Latoya Jackson. It's worth checking out.
The live versions are incredible and enhance so many of the nuances in the song. Highly recommended.
Gentlemen, always great to watch and listen to you check out McCartney’s maybe I’m amazed from he’s first solo album. It is by far the best version.
It fits James Bond music so well! It was nominated for an Oscar, too. This one that Paul did on his own really sounds Beatles-esque to me, he's so incredibly talented. Guns N Roses have a very good cover of this, too, they did it justice.
Guns and Roses Brilliant too!

Saw this movir at the theater. This was the best part.

Watch the live version of this tune from the Welcome to New York City concert! 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks guys, love your analysis. Janet from Louisiana ☮🖤🤘
Yes, you probably most definitely heard that at sports venues. It's very popular.
The end goes right into the Bond movie.....so cool.
Guns N' Roses covered 'Live and let die' in 1991 and made it a hit single again 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Paul McCartney wrote 'Live and let die' in 1973 when he was asked by the James Bond movie producers to provide the theme song for the 007 movie 'Live and let die' starring a new Bond actor Roger Moore (who was taking over the role from Sean Connery) ...

My 1st concert that my father took me to Wings 🔥. First time seeing lasers at a concert.
Saw them perform this during the tour at the Forum in Inglewood. It was the first time a band used laser lights during a performance and the audience went nuts.
Not only lasers, but flash pots, explosions, flames and if in an outdoor venue, fireworks as well.
I love the Paul McCartney and Wings library
One of the best James Bond movie themes, along with Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" and Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger." For a great McCartney banger, check out "Junior's Farm," their first big hit after the great "Band on the Run" album.

In concert, I swear they set off a cannon. Well, when the cannon blasts I screamed, startled. The guy next to me looked at me like “WTF, lady.” My sister was laughing and said “be prepared, it’s coming again.” I *know* the song. And yet, when the second blast comes I screamed again. Everyone laughed at me. 🫤
Also, this is from the James Bond movie of the same name. 🤓
Watch him do this on one of the Super Bowl half-time shows, he kills it.
The Paul McCartney and The Wings😉
Paul played it at the Super Bowl around early 2000’s. Also heard on a James Bond movie with the same name.

As mentioned, this is the theme song to the Bond film of the same name--wild movie, check it out! They set a Guiness Book record for the longest boat jump in that one. Also Guns 'N' Roses did a banging cover.
Got to see Wings in the 70s at the sweaty old Boston Garden. The fact that I was seeing a Beatle was amazing. McCartneys concert at Red Square in Moscow is a must see. It was a blend of Beatles and McCartneys solo stuff, with Wings stuff too. (This song was awesome) To see the Russian fans absolutely rocking, singing every song, and probably not knowing what the lyrics meant, and actually crying is testament to how much he and the Beatles affected people for decades, especially during the Cold War years when the Beatles were considered capitalist social rot.
This was back when Putin had just come into power. You’ll see him make an entrance to his seats. Back In The USSR, is so surreal when it is played, definitely worth a watch.
An argument could be made that The Beatles created prog-rock with "Eleanor Rigby" and other songs from The White Album and Abbey Road (the Medley for example). The guys in Yes were fans of the Beatles, for example, they mixed the lyrics from "Give Peace A Chance" into "All Good People".
I feel that way about A Day in the Life.... but we must not forget Frank Zappa's freak out was released in 66
This is the theme song for the James Bond movie of the same name..... Live And Let Die. Kurt from Maine
