Back where it all began in the United States for The Beatles, The Ed Sullivan Theater, which is now the studio for The David Letterman Show. Paul has come full circle, and still going strong. Love you, Paul. Thank you for the wonderful music all these many years. We truly miss John and George, and the others, may they all rest in peace. It's wonderful when you and Ringo get together and perform!
Brad MacArthur that entire album rocked live. Paul probably belonged on stage more than he was. The guy has more money than God, but touring is frigging hard, and he still mounts the stage and seems to love it. Some friends told me touring was a young man's game but there are a few that live to do it.
This is the video that made me seek out more McCartney solo music, and I haven't looked back since. I swear, I could live off of this music. Also, it's amazing how much sex appeal a man in his sixties can still have to a young woman!!
One of the cool things of working in New York City is that cool free stuff like this happens all the time. At a pizza shop on my lunch hour got to meet and shake hands with Mike Tyson, meeting a friend who worked in the GE Bldg got to meet Ringo Starr coming out of an elevator. Saw Dustin Hoffman coming out of a theater and got an autograph. Used to be free summer concerts during lunch hour in the plaza at World Trade Ctr with a lot of famous group. All just part of NYC life.
The Beatles didn't get arrested when the played on the rooftop in 69'. The police came and the older people were complaining they were interrupting businesses. But Paul did get arrested for a couple weeks in 1980 because they found marijuana in his suitcase.
Una versione caldissima e molto sentita dagli strumentisti, del resto con tutta la gente sotto a guardare o sei un vero musicista o cambi mestiere....e poi se ti chiami Paul Macca il gioco è fatto. Hare Krishna.
This would have made an amazing Beatles song. If you take the best songs J, P, G and even R were putting out in the early 70's they would have still been making incredible albums for quite a while after Abbey Road.
Right you are!!!!!! Paul, George and John were all guitar players and actually flipped a coin to see who would play bass in the group!!!! Paul lost the coin toss!!!!!
@wheatonna he never got arrested, neither did the other Beatles. When their roadie was warning them that the cops wanted to do it hey actually thought it would be such an awesome finish to the movie. THeir attitude was "Yeah? Let 'em do it - great finish to the movie right there!" lol But they never arrested them. Now thinking of it...that probably would've been such a kickass finish. Haha!!
You can bet that Letterman blew some budget money for that concert!!!!!!!!! They reenforced under neath the sign - and McCartney ain't cheap!!!!!!!!!!! I've heard don't plug nothing in - unless you got $2,500,000 - not sure if that is for the band or just McCartney - but McCartney did not become a BILLIONAIRE by doing this on the cheap!!! And regardless of what you pay him - he'll make it back if you have a big enough venue!!!!!

I like the piano solo in the live version. I was blown away by how much better this song was live when I seen him in 09.

67 looks good. Damn good.
his voice is still such a great instrument
Great song, great performance.
on top of the marquee to the ED SULLIVAN THEATER- where he was first introduced to the American audience and performed 45 yrs before 45 yrs!!!!!!!!
what a voice.
championship of the world!
as usually , Paul !
woow soo cool...................1
Bro, ALL of Ram is genius. It's my favorite Macca album. EVen though Band on the Run is amazing.
Only Paul McCartney can stop New York.
Simply epic
Wow, thanks Paul!
saw them in Dallas that summer...
Legend
My.favorete song

great
ROLL IT YES
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟
cool COOL!
The reason this tune feels like a tribute to Lennon, or in the style of Lennon is because it's well known that it is.
that crowd!

o I might have fainted at this point lol I cant tell u how I feel
That concept of a rooftop gig - seems familiar to a beatle fan...lol

who is the drummer in Pauls band? he rocks!
Haha funny guitar joke at 1:35
Right you are!!!!!! Paul, George and John were all guitar players and actually flipped a coin to see who would play bass in the group!!!! Paul lost the coin toss!!!!!
@windstruckladyc ....I heard that!
@olipaquet Nice, only my teachers realy know what i'm taling about when I talk about Paul McCartney
This guy is good but he aint PAUL.....HE AINT DEAD....YET.
one question? how did they get all the equipment there?
If I recall correctly, it was the B side to Helen Wheels.
@julian1775 Yes they are but this year is way better plus the teacher loves him too.
So cool that he could play on the rooftop and not get arrested like he did the first time.
@wheatonna he never got arrested, neither did the other Beatles. When their roadie was warning them that the cops wanted to do it hey actually thought it would be such an awesome finish to the movie.

The 18 and 19 year olds may need telling what a "B" side is..not meaning to be patronising or anything.
"Epic actually" (Reggie Bannister)
@alternit Abe Laboriel Jr.
@Goldensea234 same thing for me
I wonder who disliked it?
It's the side of a Bee.Do you really not know or just Jokiing?
You can bet that Letterman blew some budget money for that concert!!!!!!!!! They reenforced under neath the sign - and McCartney ain't cheap!!!!!!!!!!!

Well he was pushing his new album this time so I doubt that he was paid much. Plus, it doesn't look like the crowd had to pay.
Mmm.
Oh the live version is way better
@Goldensea234 The only one?? What kind of a class is that? Are they aliens?
He'll play at your kids birthday party....for a $1 million....serious!
what's a B side? lol jk
LISTEN UP..ONE MORE TIME...THE REAL PAUL..IS..DEAD..
