The fact that this incredible track is not usually mentioned as being amongst McCartney s greatest hits is the absolute proof of his amazing genius. ✌️
Before he went to Russia awhile back he asked the people there what their favVery unique. song was, and he was surprised that they said 1985! Now he does it in concert, I love it. Also Amber, if you ever see him in concert, during Live and Let Die he has some pretty exciting fireworks! He's going to S America and Europe next, I hope he tours the U.S. next year. BTW, you'd love Paul's Little Lamb Dragonfly song.
Sure!! Any sound of this piece is absolutely stunning and if you add all the songs in this great album plus all his 70's albums you'll have a massive and fenomenal artist in music!! He is the music man!!
@essenegnostic8711 ..no not in the same league as McCartney..a great artist yet not a popular icon was Prince..talented indeed..you have not done your research on McCartney..
No other band can break up and be this good. The Beatles are once in a lifetime. Each were genius. Paul was by far the greatest musician. Just be happy we lived in the same time frame to witness it. Thank you Beatles
My girlfriend and I were in college in "1975". We would be together in her apartment studying, doing our homework - listening to our Band On The Run "LP" on her stereo record player. Whenever "1985" came around we'd both jump up and dance! Then sit down again and resume studying as soon as the song was over.....
Amber - "I feel like we don't have enough time to compliment every single instrument that was involved in this and made that beautiful sound." Paul McCartney - lead vocals, guitar, bass guitar, piano, keyboards, drums
The PURE McCARTNEY performance by Dutch and American musicians is a fantastic live re-creation of the RAM album. I never hummed MONKBERRY PIE until I saw that song in that performance.
Great song, can’t believe he’s 82! Where has the time gone? I’m so glad I got to be part of the era with the Beatles landing in 1964. The British Invasion was a gift to us Americans, I loved them all!👍👏👏👏♥️♥️
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Paul McCartney/Wings songs to react to: "My Love", "Jet", "Let Me Roll It", "Helen Wheels", "Junior's Farm", "Let 'Em In", and "Rock Show".
"Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five" was written and released in 1973. Like the George Orwell novel "1984" (released 1948) it was intended to represent a time thst seemed a long long way off, but most of the audience would be around to actually see it.
Great point Jay. To answer your question: No other band has ever broken up and all members had a prominent solo career. The Beatles were unique in so many ways. In a time when bands were doing covers and pop songs, they wrote their own. They set forth genres for other bands to follow. The Beatles opened the door for other bands to “do their own thing”. They were trendsetters and pioneers.
I like the gritty sound of Paul McCartney. Intentionally giving a little more gruffness to his voice in this one. He has an range between 4-5 octaves. Paul also has the record for highest scream. Paul basically has two separate voices, the soft is the typical McCartney voice and his "Rocker" voice.
fun fact, when he was forming wings he had the members over for dinner. after they had finished and were discussing business McCartney suddenly stopped and said "oh ,i just remembered. i have to submit a song for this new movie by tomorrow " he excused him self , went to his study and started banging out notes on his piano. 5 min later he returned saying "ok ,where were we?" he wrote live and let die in 5min!!
Interesting fact: Paul McCartney was the first artist to reach No.1 in the UK as part of a group, "The Beatles", as a trio, "Wings", as a duo with Stevie Wonder and finally as a solo artist in January '84 with "Pipes Of Peace" ; which also happens to have a great video.
Paul played drums on this entire album because the original Wings drummer Denny Seiwell left the band a few days before they left for Lagos in Africa and recorded in Ginger Bakers studio.
Paul in his prime was so creative. Keep in mind too, and it will blow it, that he played most of the instruments on the Band on the Run album. His wife Linda and Denny Laine helped out but Paul pretty much created and produced the LP on his own. Simply amazing. Jet, Helen Wheels and Let Me Roll It are other bangers from Band on the Run.
I truly believe he was singing this song to his wife Lynda who you hear playing keyboard and doing the background vocals. She was with him for many years until her death in 1998. She was also a famous photographer. She was the love of his life. RIP Lynda. This song was one of his best after the Beatles broke up. Lots of memories flooding back. Thanks again kids. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
For the love of all that is good and holy PLEEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEE, stop calling them “The Wings!” It’s Wings, just Wings. I’ve said this for each reaction of Paul McCartney and Wings. I’m sorry, it makes me cringe so hard! Other than that? Another great reaction! 😛
What a stunner. That climax never fails to make my hair stand up. For any ordinary artist, a career-defining signature single; for Paul McCartney, just another album closer that Joe public has never heard of. Amazing man.
Paul has a phenomenal knack for writing deliciously addictive melodies and riffs. I think this is my favorite McCartney solo song. In Your Lovin' Flame is a great song by him as well.
Such an odd song that I adore!! Please check out "Listen to What the Man Said" is a fun little bop. Also, get back to some solo Paul Simon and Paul Davis... Make it a Paul day lol. Love y'all keep smiling!! 🎶🌞🎶
Phenomenal song by a phenomenal artist! Probably the most diverse artist of the past 50+ years. I think about it: Yesterday And I love her Got To Get You Into My Life Helter Skelter Mull of Kintyre
This one song didn't get much radio play, but it was a song that was played at every party! It was a big favorite, you two are prime examples! You can't help but get into the song, and dance!
This was the great Denny Lane playing lead guitar. Denny was the orginal frontman of the Moody Blues, listen to Go Now and see what a amazing singer he was. Linda McCartney on keyboards
Wings, terribly underrated. My first concert, Wings Over America, May 15, 1976 Capital Centre Landover Maryland, a 12th birthday gift from my beautiful parents.
LOVE Paul's songs! This is a particularly good one. (Shout out to John Lennon's "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" duet with Elton John from Lennon's Walls and Bridges album).
you're absolutely right, even further, there can never be another band like the beatles. they are a singular entity unto themselves in terms of creating music and even motr than creating music in different styles, but creating different genres of music.
i was lucky being born in mid 50's. the beatles were a great phenomenon, each member was very successful after the breakup. as far as i know no other band has done this,
Macca played the drums on the entire album, 1985, which is a monster track. The Beatles are the only group and their individual members to have been inducted into the R&R HOF.
That's Right ! Sound is Great and: Paul McCartney is playing ALL the instruments on this song. Yes, he's Amazing, just love it and have done so since 1963. Heåå :-)
Wow, I became obsessed with this song in late grade school and then an early Junior High I got the single and I figured out how to play the piano part to it and just had so much fun banging that out. And of course I could never sing like Paul McCartney, lol, but it still was so fun. I was in very many bands later on in my life but I've never had the opportunity to actually play this live other than playing at a piano at a party or something.
1973 was an absolutely great year for McCartney & Wings, Live And Let Die was nominated for an Oscar, lost yo Barbara Streisand's They Way We Were, and Band On The Run was released in November and won a Grammy for the deluxe release in 1975.
This album the drummer left group lead guitar before this album. It was only Paul, Linda his wife and Denny Laine. Paul would playing drums , lead guitar, bass.
Band On the Run is a great album. This track is one of my favorites on it, as well as Jet and the sweet, slow, doowoppyish Let Me Roll It. I was 15 in '75 when this was released. Me & friends sitting around in our bedrooms playing the album and Brigitte making crank phone calls with her "Princess" phone. SMH The thing about McCartney is that he's a phenomenon of sincerity, talent, humility, and a desire to give fans their money's worth. He's a genuine people person, will talk with the common man/woman who approaches. A really kind soul who loves and cares for his family and friends (look at his relationship with Julian Lennon) He is a perfectionist where his work is concerned. When he wasn't satisfied with the way he thought someone else might play his music...he did it himself! From playing all kinds of instruments to self-producing his albums. I'm suspicious of anyone who doesn't like him😊 Be blessed❤
In the photo of , Band on the Run, the man on top in the back row is actor and Oscar winner, James Colburn. The band was at an English movie studio for the photo. Colburn was making a movie on a set at the same studio compound.. Paul found out and went over and asked him if he would like to be in their photo.
Wow, I'm so glad you listened to this one, I think it encapsulates his genius. Just effortlessly cool, rocking, cosmic - and all in five minutes. He's the greatest of them all!
Paul has just released a live in the studio Wings album recorded in 1974 called One Hand Clapping. The new video for a rockin' song called Soily is great.
A nice number from McCartney's finest solo album. Now next, y'all need to check out Paul's finest single, Junior's Farm. I think it was recorded during the Band On The Run sessions. It's great.
Hi Jay and Amber! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. Thanks again for this reaction from one of my all time favourite albums. This is a classic album from 1973 and every track is great. If I had to pick another 2 tracks from the same album, you must also react to 'Jet' and 'Let Me Roll It'. Talking about bands with individual members who've had great success, I know there is normally one or two stand out artists who have the most success, but the only other band I can think of with each individual member having great success, is One Direction. Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis have all had solo success. Not equal to The Beatles, of course, but nobody is. Perhaps also Oasis. The 2 main members of that band have had great solo success. In fact, I saw Liam Gallagher at The Hydro in Glasgow last night and the place was loud and rocking, as it always is for those troublesome brothers, Noel and Liam. Æx 🙏
Awesome song from a peak solo album from Paul. For another great track, do Let Me Roll It, it is a great slow burn of a Rocker, Paul just kills it again. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Agree! You gave me something I understand You gave me loving In the palm of my hand I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel Let me roll it Let me roll it to you
And the beauty of Linda's vocals just adds a perfect touch and change of pace to the song. Im only guessing that Paul played both the piano which only covers up his tremendous bass work on the song. Great reaction Yall.
When I was a kid we had the 45 record of "Band On The Run" and "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five" was on the flip side. I got to love it as much as the A side.
The absolutely perfect ending track to a truly great album, definitely the best post-Beatles offering by any of the Fab Four. And this video added a great reaction to it! Thanks!
Had to add, it’s funny this video comes up now. This morning I had to set an alarm for 3:58 am, to get in the Ticketmaster queue for Paul McCartney tickets. I have a very modest income, but I was willing to fly to LONDON for the chance to see him live one more time (I saw him in 1989 and 2013). Sadly, he is STILL that popular, and I wasn’t able to score tickets fast enough. 😢
Everybody needs to remember that this was the wind up song for the album. While It stands up well on it's own, in order to get the full impact you should listen to the entire album. Then, when you get to here, it really is the perfect closing to an awesome album. The segue back into 'Band On The Run' just makes it that much better.
The fact that this incredible track is not usually mentioned as being amongst McCartney s greatest hits is the absolute proof of his amazing genius. ✌️
Before he went to Russia awhile back he asked the people there what their favVery unique. song was, and he was surprised that they said 1985! Now he does it in concert, I love it. Also Amber, if you ever see him in concert, during Live and Let Die he has some pretty exciting fireworks! He's going to S America and Europe next, I hope he tours the U.S. next year. BTW, you'd love Paul's Little Lamb Dragonfly song.
I seem to have messed up my note, Little Lamb is very unique, he didn't ask the Russians for a unique song ha ha!
I haven't heard this song for Years !!!, man , what a great ending....
Always loved this song!
This is my favorite Paul solo song. When he did it live way back when he was only 69 at Wrigley Field it just made my day to say the least.
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Jet" and "My Love" with Wings !!!!
The genius of Paul McCartney. Probably the most talented artist of all time.
Please!!
Prince
Sure!! Any sound of this piece is absolutely stunning and if you add all the songs in this great album plus all his 70's albums you'll have a massive and fenomenal artist in music!! He is the music man!!
@essenegnostic8711 ..no not in the same league as McCartney..a great artist yet not a popular icon was Prince..talented indeed..you have not done your research on McCartney..
@@timothytouhey8682 Yes Please..McCartney is the GOAT
No other band can break up and be this good. The Beatles are once in a lifetime. Each were genius. Paul was by far the greatest musician. Just be happy we lived in the same time frame to witness it. Thank you Beatles
John carried his own in case you forgot
My girlfriend and I were in college in "1975". We would be together in her apartment studying, doing our homework - listening to our Band On The Run "LP" on her stereo record player.

Amber - "I feel like we don't have enough time to compliment every single instrument that was involved in this and made that beautiful sound."
Paul McCartney - lead vocals, guitar, bass guitar, piano, keyboards, drums
This was the album closer that's why they attatched that "Band On The Run" snippet
Paul McCartney - Another Day
❤❤❤
Oh yes! Wonderful song.
The flip side of 45 features Paul's absurd vocal range (Oh Woman Oh Why) I love both sides lol
Anything From "Band On The Run" or "RAM" is pure greatness!
Agree...I also like Chaos and Creation in The Backyard and others
The PURE McCARTNEY performance by Dutch and American musicians is a fantastic live re-creation of the RAM album. I never hummed MONKBERRY PIE until I saw that song in that performance.
@@RoSaWa386-33 Monkberry Moon Delight :)
They should do one from the Ram album, an underrated classic.
Great song, can’t believe he’s 82! Where has the time gone? I’m so glad I got to be part of the era with the Beatles landing in 1964. The British Invasion was a gift to us Americans, I loved them all!👍👏👏👏♥️♥️
Thanks for the reupload
Was this one that was yesterday?I think why is it reloaded?It did just wondering
@@trudieristich795 sound was kinda bad on the first one.
Yes, Thanks Jay/Amber!
Thanks guys it the best!!!
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Paul McCartney/Wings songs to react to: "My Love", "Jet", "Let Me Roll It", "Helen Wheels", "Junior's Farm", "Let 'Em In", and "Rock Show".
Love "Let Em In", "Jet", "My Love", all great tunes.
Goodnight tonight ❤️
Yes!
love in song, no words, mrs vanderbilt, warm and beautiful, mamunia
Bluebird!
"Magneto and Titanium Man" is a great gem from McCartney and Wings where Paul indulges in song his love for superhero comic book heroes/villains.
"Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five" was written and released in 1973.
Like the George Orwell novel "1984" (released 1948) it was intended to represent a time thst seemed a long long way off, but most of the audience would be around to actually see it.
A McCartney song that came out just before he formed Wings is "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", wonderfully quirky song I think you would love.
YES! This is the one I was going to recommend.
My favorite solo from him.
Thanks for the redo. One of my favorites of his!

I really dislike Paul's nasaly tone on this song!
The latter exemplified maybe best by Oh! Darling. Though he sounds absolutely brilliant on this song, too.
Just when you think the “Band on the Run” album couldn’t get any better, this GREAT song wraps it up. One of my favorites by McCartney.
fun fact, when he was forming wings he had the members over for dinner. after they had finished and were discussing business McCartney suddenly stopped and said "oh ,i just remembered. i have to submit a song for this new movie by tomorrow " he excused him self , went to his study and started banging out notes on his piano. 5 min later he returned saying "ok ,where were we?" he wrote live and let die in 5min!!

From the same album, I think you guys would live "Let me roll it."

The entire Band on the Run album is great. I definitely played the hell out of it when it was released 🤘🏻

Makes ALL us die hard Wings fan cringe......I mentioned it to them as well!!
Thank you for the repeat. Helen Wheels is a must listen as well
The sleeper tracks on this album is this one and "Mrs. Vandebilt". Towards the end, that is a soprano sax I believe.
What a stunner. That climax never fails to make my hair stand up. For any ordinary artist, a career-defining signature single; for Paul McCartney, just another album closer that Joe public has never heard of. Amazing man.
Saw him perform this one live two years ago on the opening day of his new tour. This song is even better live!
Paul has a phenomenal knack for writing deliciously addictive melodies and riffs. I think this is my favorite McCartney solo song.
In Your Lovin' Flame is a great song by him as well.
This is my fav. Thank you for the re upload. Note: Paul played most of the instruments on this album. So yes Paul is the best Beatle.
Such an odd song that I adore!! Please check out "Listen to What the Man Said" is a fun little bop. Also, get back to some solo Paul Simon and Paul Davis... Make it a Paul day lol. Love y'all keep smiling!! 🎶🌞🎶
Great song, and I agree!
More Paul & Wings - "Jet", "Helen Wheels"
Both are great songs.
Add "Mrs. Vanderbilt", and "Another Day".
Phenomenal song by a phenomenal artist!
Probably the most diverse artist of the past 50+ years. I think about it:
Yesterday
And I love her
Got To Get You Into My Life
Helter Skelter
Mull of Kintyre
I think you two would enjoy Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Paul McCartney and Wings - Arrow Through Me and solo Paul - My Brave Face.
This song might be the best I’ve ever seen performed live it was so loud and clear it was incredible
My favorite from The Band on the Run album is 'Let Me Roll It.' For something a little peppier, check out 'Venus and Mars/Rock Show.'
Love this entire album. Every track has a different feel but they all fit together really well.
That’s awesome, folks!
Thanks for correcting the audio.
I’ll watch this video 3 times.
:-)
Sir Paul didn't miss very often.He was on it in the 70's!
Still have that original Band on the Run album from 1973 when I was 17. Great LP all the way through. Couldn't count how many times I played it!
Love Them Wings!
This one song didn't get much radio play, but it was a song that was played at every party! It was a big favorite, you two are prime examples! You can't help but get into the song, and dance!

This album the drummer left group lead guitar before this album. It was only Paul, Linda his wife and Denny Laine. Paul would playing drums , lead guitar, bass.
The Beatles - Let It Be
I cannot believe "Let It Be" has been ignored after all this time and hundreds of videos. It's time gang.
Its just Wings Y'all, Paul McCartney and Wings
This - esp. at the end - is like fireworks - in the musical version.
Band On the Run is a great album. This track is one of my favorites on it, as well as Jet and the sweet, slow, doowoppyish Let Me Roll It. I was 15 in '75 when this was released. Me & friends sitting around in our bedrooms playing the album and Brigitte making crank phone calls with her "Princess" phone. SMH

An absolute classic and a powerful ending to the Band on the Run album! Thanks for your great reaction!

Soilly from Wings Over America!
Your reaction brought a tear to my eyes. I've been a subscriber for like 4 years and this was my favorite. ❤ Watching your content. Much success.

Paul McCartney and Wings - "Listen To What The Man Said".
Paul McCartney - "Every Night"
Phoebe Snow - "Every Night".
Awesome, Sir Paul McCartney songs.
Old guy here, Wings good, fire bad.............Tonto, Frankenstein, Superman
😉
🫡 Thank you putting it back out with the audio fixed.
It’s a great song from a fantastic band.
It’s not “Paul McCartney and the Wings,” It’s “Paul McCartney and Wings.’ No “the” before Wings.
A nice number from McCartney's finest solo album. Now next, y'all need to check out Paul's finest single, Junior's Farm. I think it was recorded during the Band On The Run sessions. It's great.
Junior's farm was recorded during the sessions for Venus and Mars.
@@keithroberts4952 Oh, OK. Thanks. Great single.
I love songs that build up at the end . The Boxer, I want You, and of course this one. Its definitely in my top ten list of McCartney solo songs.
Yes!! Thank you!
"Wings" not "The Wings" - Keep up the good work. You are my favorite reaction video creators.
Hi Jay and Amber! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. Thanks again for this reaction from one of my all time favourite albums. This is a classic album from 1973 and every track is great.

Awesome song from a peak solo album from Paul. For another great track, do Let Me Roll It, it is a great slow burn of a Rocker, Paul just kills it again. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Agree!
You gave me something
I understand
You gave me loving
In the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
@@jrox6091 Awesome song! Played it when I saw him live 20 years ago, he was great as always.
And the beauty of Linda's vocals just adds a perfect touch and change of pace to the song. Im only guessing that Paul played both the piano which only covers up his tremendous bass work on the song. Great reaction Yall.

The whole album is great and needs to be heard as a whole. Also their live album, Wings Over America, is brilliant.
If you want want some McCartney fun you gotta listen to "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" from the RAM album (2nd solo record)
Jay and Amber thanks for reloading it sounds fine one of my favorite songs of all time. The album was recorded in 1973

My favorite of his is "No Words" from this album (written with Denny Laine). Not as famous as other songs but amazing.
Love me some Paul McCartney and them wild wings! LOL
