This songs reminds me of when I was employed as a private chef for a very rich and eccentric inventor that lived on a luxury yacht docked in Lake Erie in the summer of 1991. This song came on the radio one day and the inventor asked me "Who is the man in the song? Listen to what WHO is saying what?" I quickly replied "It's you. He's singing about you. YOU are the man in the song." He thought about it for a while and then let out a loud and hearty laugh. He eventually went to prison for fraud and I think he lost his fortune at some point.
Not will say too much know someone now doing time for fraud several yrs it catches up with them best clothes cars etc and was still saying hello to me as he got his free prescriptions at the Dr's for his son who has special needs
Beyond all shadows of doubt whatsoever, Paul McCartney is a once in a century, literally a one every hundred years instrumental and lyrical and vocal genius, i mean like musically beyond savant level for like sixty years now.
"I just play the notes that are good friends with each other" the dude doesn't even sight read. Theory is useful, but this remark should make musicians rethink our approaches and priorities. We all have lots to learn from McCartney.
Ever see the video of Paul teaching piano in only 5 minutes? It's amazing how simple it seems to him. @@spicydaddy2526 Trivia: Bob Dylan said he was only in awe of one Beatle. Which one?
I agree with you when it comes to him singing ballads. It was unfortunate that this was the last decade that his voice still held up. By the early 1990s, it started to go. For singing rock tunes, the very late 1960s into the 1970s was him in his absolute prime.
Paul in his solo prime. This song is like a scrapbook of that wonderful time in my life as a kid. The spirit of the song so represents the mood of the mid '70's. People were enjoying themselves.
i love a lot of his songs but like you said, many of them are quite corny. He actually recorded Mary Had A Little Lamb. I think "Bluebird" from Band On The Run is my favorite of his solo songs.
*God I miss Linda... you can't really measure how much she added to Paul's brilliance... she was his other great writing partner in his life... so do not discount her contributions... love her dearly*
Yes, a real woman of class! RIP Have some class in your life and not always be on the dirty down low of fakery and filth! Just think of dear Linda, & all the other women who have class and act like a real lady with no underhanded dirty shatty kitty trash Not like my trampy spam kid sista!
because its obvious playback? There are only 2 vocalist on stage, which were Paul and Linda, but the harmonies heard in the performance were clearly done with multiple voices.
besides, most live performances you see on TV are pre-recorded anyway, albiet sometimes they used live vocals. An example of this would be Nirvana's MTV perfomance of Smells Like Teen Spirit, i believe
I recall this show, it was a special with Paul and Linda. They were clearly so dedicated to each other, what a gift. LTWTMS is a Wings classic, thanks for sharing - and Tel was a great host, in fact a gentleman. Listen to how he says "thanks Paul, thanks Linda" - he means it
Been a Beatles Fan since I can remember in the 60s. But after the break Up, Paul has been my favorite after the Beatles. Love his music. And yes his voice is not the same as it once was , but so many great songs he has given us in his lifetime !!! . .. .
He looked great then too. Before crazy Heather Mills and all the hair dyeing. Naturally aging. He was probably quite happy with Linda and his kids. Amazing entertainer. There will never be another Paul.
@@jamesbyersmusic Agreed, doesn't sound/look live at all to me. Besides there are too many complex vocal harmonies to make it work. Strangely the instrumental ending is not the same as on record...
What a great time to be alive just hitting the teen years and hanging out at the local pool flirting with all the hot chicks! Smoking weed for the first time going to my first concert elo man you just can't conceive how great those times were! This classic by McCartney will definitely take you back! God bless you Paul ❤
At 2:49 he backs off the mic but his voice keeps going. The whole thing is lip synced. Too many background vocals and just Linda singing. It's still okay with me! Some shows just weren't technically prepared to have live bands.
I was there in the audience for this TV show. They were definitely miming to a pre-recorded backing track. The sound in the studio was incredibly quiet - nothing like you get at a concert.
Yes, but that's not the original version of the album, at that time, bands used to record the song before the appearance, so they probably did the backing track with backing vocals and then sang over it.
2:25 "for all we know our love with grow", definitely appears like he's singing it and not lip syncing. Must be live vocals sung over a backing track or something, like with the Hey Jude performance on the Smothers Brothers
ckelley63 Sorry to break it to you but this is definitely not fully live. Any musician could tell you that just by listening to it. Its a pre-recorded backing with live microphones during the performance. Paul, Linda and the saxophone are live, but the rest is prerecorded including some additional backing vocals and acoustic guitar that arent even present on the set. Check out 3:23, you can clearly see Paul is not playing the notes you hear from the bass. Still, McCartney rocks and this is one of those cases where the tv station wont let artists go fully live.
Watching his hands, Macca's bass playing on this song is much different and greatly simplified (i.e., uses a lot fewer notes & technique) over the recorded version.
All the soft rock love songs of the 70s were still sweet, romantic, innocent and dreamy, leaving the listeners with plenty of imagination and interpretation to be desired.
This was the first song from Paul that I heard at a barber shop with my dad.. I was 5 in 1976... I miss those days...
That guy is so talented. He sings lead vocal as well as harmonies with the lovely Linda. All at the same time!
@Gerry Berry Ah yes me and the bois using backing tapes while raiding some romans
Paul is god

Now he gets to listen to what the Man says every day in the big house!

Great story 😂
Great that he encouraged and tutored Linda to be in that band, and it worked. Lovely lady.
Beyond all shadows of doubt whatsoever, Paul McCartney is a once in a century, literally a one every hundred years instrumental and lyrical and vocal genius, i mean like musically beyond savant level for like sixty years now.
Once in a millennium talent!

Love it ! We will not see the likes of him again
I think Pauls voice was at his all time best in this era. It’s just so beautiful.
I agree with you when it comes to him singing ballads. It was unfortunate that this was the last decade that his voice still held up. By the early 1990s, it started to go. For singing rock tunes, the very late 1960s into the 1970s was him in his absolute prime.

I can never understand how this man could write the most corniest songs I've ever heard, but yet I love them so much they can't be denied!
Silly love songs...
Because he's honest in his expression, which is all anyone can ask. Tons of his Beatles songs are corny too. Michelle ain't exactly punk ya know.
It's the music, and how it relates to the melody. The song would be just as enjoyable if he were to sing it in Swahili!
His song 'Silly Love Songs' touches on that very thought,
i love a lot of his songs but like you said, many of them are quite corny. He actually recorded Mary Had A Little Lamb. I think "Bluebird" from Band On The Run is my favorite of his solo songs.
The man could cut diamonds with that voice!
I miss Denny Laine 😢
One of the 1st songs my brothers and I heard growing up in the 70's. We had the 45 single...great stuff
MCartney had hits every decade since, he is a genius!!!!
I love Linda’s dreamy background voice. She definitely added so much texture to Paul’s sound. Rest in peace ❤
I have fond memories of listening to this song on my little portable radio when I was 13. This song still holds up well.
There ya go ❤
Wow that’s my story Lisa Gemini!! Venus and Mars was my very first LP
このtv初めて見ました。良かったです。
This takes me back.........Good song and there is the lovely Linda
The Wonder of it ALL BABY!
Great song, Paul looking cool and the lovely Linda. Perfect
Paul always has a great sound to his songs.
I'm glad they found each other in this crazy world. I believe they truly loved, lived and laughed at life.
Purely irreplaceable.Just feel proud you're witnessing this inspiring era. . And Wings.
Superb performance here.. What a great song this is..
Well, he's singing to a pre-recorded backing track.
McCartney always has a great sounding song. He has an ear for what song good.
A musical genius
*God I miss Linda... you can't really measure how much she added to Paul's brilliance... she was his other great writing partner in his life... so do not discount her contributions... love her dearly*
I miss and her and Paul's voice😞
I was thinking the same thing!
💐LINDA ERA EL ALMA DE WINGS.. I LOVE HER PERSON.
LINDA WAS WING'SSOUL
AMO SU PERSONA..❤
Yes, a real woman of class! RIP
Have some class in your life and not always be on the dirty down low of fakery and filth! Just think of dear Linda, & all the other women who have class and act like a real lady with no underhanded dirty shatty kitty trash
Not like my trampy spam kid sista!
Yeah I miss her too.
This is one song from Venus and Mars that really takes me back in time . The best days of my life actually .
Keep positive about good times TO COME!
I love this Song. It give so positiv Feeling.
Me too
I love this version.
He sings good and I was watching his feet. Cool. Love it!!!
This man can go in any direction amazing what a talent
this is a great performance of a great song
This is mostly playback.

Love this Song! Major VIBE! Takes me BACK! This song sits on is a MAGIC CARPET
Awesome song love it ❤🎉
Soprano saxponist is amazing !!!
Saxophone guy brillant
@@_richardleon soprano saxophone whats your point
@ Ass Marder, the soprano sax wasn't that bad, lol.
No saxophones here
Go Paul...this song takes me back, He had top ten songs every decade.
Another ,,WUNDERBARER,, song by Genius Paul !!!
Been a Beatles Fan since I can remember in the 60s. But after the break Up, Paul has been my favorite after the Beatles. Love his music. And yes his voice is not the same as it once was , but so many great songs he has given us in his lifetime !!! . .. .

That Sax is great...
I remember this song when my mom drove me to kindergarten in my dads 1070 Pontiac Lemans and I'm 54 now and still love hearing it
Wonderful. And all played/sung live! Bravo.
nope
@@thomas79marshall Yep
He looked great then too. Before crazy Heather Mills and all the hair dyeing. Naturally aging. He was probably quite happy with Linda and his kids. Amazing entertainer. There will never be another Paul.
Most talented Beatle. None can compare to his talent
Hear hear!
Absolutely
John
@@dany2217 not even close
Lennon for me. Although no one can doubt McCartney is super talented
Whoever uploaded this, thanks!
This clip shows them at their BEST!
Nice to see Linda here
My favorite song
Live love and leave a legacy they’ll still be talking about him in 200 years time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent
God Pauls live singing here is amazing
It's not live!
The vocals are live but the instruments are a backing track
@@jamesbyersmusic
It’s live vocals
@@jamesbyersmusic Agreed, doesn't sound/look live at all to me. Besides there are too many complex vocal harmonies to make it work. Strangely the instrumental ending is not the same as on record...
it hits different today…🥲
watched this on the night it was broadcast where does the time go the wonder of paul and linda
Great performance!
The best rendition of this song
Nice to see Linda playing piano.
lovely linda
Linda Shears Campbell (McCartney (she's not a real McCartney tho))
Love this song!
Takes me back.
Great song,love this great song!
It was a 1975 number one hit single from the album Venus and Mars Paul McCartney at his harmonies and vocal range
I just love Paul...full stop!
Great song AND singer
One of my favourites.
Rounding up to 40 years classic on so many levels perhaps TFG❤️
What a great time to be alive just hitting the teen years and hanging out at the local pool flirting with all the hot chicks! Smoking weed for the first time going to my first concert elo man you just can't conceive how great those times were! This classic by McCartney will definitely take you back! God bless you Paul ❤
Perfect song
I luv you Paul k.....😊 you are the greatest to me k..😊😉

oig40203 it's been since they had sound accompanied with sounds worse live anyway
I was there in the audience for this TV show. They were definitely miming to a pre-recorded backing track. The sound in the studio was incredibly quiet - nothing like you get at a concert.
I was about to say he was lip syncing but, here it is.
This was about 20 years after Sgt Pepper.
Yes, but that's not the original version of the album, at that time, bands used to record the song before the appearance, so they probably did the backing track with backing vocals and then sang over it.
Thats what I think too!!
It was still awesome though, what a treat!!
Paul moves smooth without trying
2:25 "for all we know our love with grow", definitely appears like he's singing it and not lip syncing. Must be live vocals sung over a backing track or something, like with the Hey Jude performance on the Smothers Brothers
yes, backing track pre-recorded and live vocals too
This is live

@@ckelley63 I agree. the drums are certainly live . good performance
@@ckelley63 if you look at 1:28 where he ends "what the man said", the voice continues but he already withdrew from the microphone
Live vocals, drums, sax and maybe bass- background harmonies recorded
Doesn't look like live vocals to me
Yes, it's not the record, so he probably recorded a vocal "as live" earlier in the day...
@@knumbugs Nope, not live bass either, there are times when he's not playing but you can hear the bass.
Love Wings but this isn't live.
Drums not live.
I love this Song.
Paul Linda What did the the man say he said ❤️LOVE❤️❤️LOVE YOU LOVE❤️
2:47 *This is all a MIMING job. I love Paul too, but people let's be real about this.*
It's obviously a re-recording of the song.
The BESTTTT 😊😊😊
Dazzling Wings.
Un très très très grand mélodiste 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘👍🏻
I wonder why this song from the 70's in 1987 - Love the song
Promoting 1987’s All the Best compilation, that’s why.
We don't have this type of show anymore, just junk. 😭
Shut up.
1:29 hmmm sir Paul. Tiny slip up following the vocal track eh?
Watching his hands, Macca's bass playing on this song is much different and greatly simplified (i.e., uses a lot fewer notes & technique) over the recorded version.
and he's not using a pick as he usually does
@@pkoven and he's mime-playing to a recorded track.
That Soprano Sax is by far the sexiest ear toy.
He even taught Linda how to harmonize....
音楽適才能はポールだね。センスがいい！
Omg iloved this .....and still do....thanku paul 4 all rhe lovexxx💜💜💜💜💕💕💕💕💕👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Beatiful song goid ritmy ❤thank you Paul McCartney ❤️
That might be the last time he ever played his Rickenbacker in public.
Nostalgie ❤
Genio!!!
That's what the man said!
Paul great singer musician
'luv it'..
💖💖💖
From memory, this is the only time I recall seeing Linda set up on that side of him? She always seems to be on the right of screen?
Wow, live as well.
I recently heard Santana’s Transcendence, and as the song ends, you hear a subtle call out to this song, at least that’s what it sounds like to me.
All the soft rock love songs of the 70s were still sweet, romantic, innocent and dreamy, leaving the listeners with plenty of imagination and interpretation to be desired.
Than rap took over 😢 after greatness like this😂
wow, thanks!!!
Hermosa canción
how can anyone dislike this
great performance
wonderful! I love him.
