Looking carefully and I can't see anybody more titanic than Paul on that stage there's a reason why he is always the closing act of this kind of all-stars concerts.
That look; his 👀 literally roll back! Gotta give him points for not jumping in when PM stepped back from the mic, as if to make room. ‘Nah, man, I am *blasted*!’
Yes Robert Plant is playing Paul's hofner. This was the very first live sighting of the Hofner since Beatle days. It went back to its case after Kampuchea and Paul wouldn't use it live again until his 89 tour.
You can watch the Rockpile video with Robert Plant doing Little Sister from this same concert. It is clearly Robert Plant who is 'playing' Paul's Hofner bass.
@@Fredrockroll Again, Laurence Juber (Wings guitarrist in that period... the guy playing the cherry SG) let me know that the guy playing the Hofner was JPJ not Plant... don`t think you know more than LJ! I`m just sharing what we`ve been chatting with Laurence Juber via message in facebook a couple of hours ago.... that`s it . :) Cheers
Looks like when PM took a step away from the mic to make room…Pete thought better of it. Sorta impressive that someone that trashed is still ambulatory.

Wow, thanks so much for posting this. I bought the vinyl way back in the day but have never SEEN this performance. Yeah, Paul's voice was really in top form!
I was only 10 years old at the time when I saw this video on MTV, just learning about how rock and roll worked, and I thought they were out to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the greatest rock and roll band ever assembled! It looked a crowd on stage--2,000 guitar players, five drummers (I know I'm exaggerating, but that's what it looked like to me!) Some of these guys were from bands I'd already seen on MTV, like the Pretenders and Elvis Costello. I thought, "this must be what rock and roll heaven" looks like!"
That is definitely Robert Plant on the Hofner bass, not John Paul Jones. Plant had the poofy curly hair, and JPJ did not. Further proof, here is JPJ at the event: sahiwal.tv/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/paul-mccartney-pete-townshend.jpg
This is why McCartney is one of my four on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock- he has stage presence as shown here, but also required to be on my 'Mt. Rushmore', one must also be able to write, compose, play multiple instruments and vocalize, which Mr. 'M' excels at.

lucille equals john o'boogie winston. "COMING UP" too bad it didn't happen. and you know, there are people who think if it was not for charity ( a concert), then, 'just as well'.
Paul McCartney being absolutely Magnificent as always, Pete Townsend off his famous imposing and attempting to be noticed and Linda McCartney trying to look useful but as usual she looks pathetic pretending to be playing or part of a band, that was Paul’s biggest mistake including Linda in his band, she stands out as a misfit unfortunately every time they showed her.
That's the most fun I've ever seen John Paul Jones having during a performance lol
Paulie was on fire, I've always loved his raspy dirty vocals, he's beyond the legend!
He learned to scream on pitch from Little Richard.
Entreno su voz desde que era un jovencito tan bello mi Paul

ROBERT PLANT WAS PLAYING PAUL'S HOFNER!!!!! :O
Doubting he was playing it as it was upside down being Paul is a lefty
@@michaelradzicki2004 It was Pauls. He was playing it upside down
Who cares?
My two besties are madly in love with Robert and Paul so this excites me
Look at Paul standing on his own among the titans of rock and roll. The guy was so god giftedly talented it's unbelievable.
Paul is THE titan of Rock N Roll as he was once in a wee Band called The Beatles..
That's right, we are so lucky ! :)
Was? Still is.

Is John Paul Jones... not Plant...Laurence Juber let me know a few minutes back.. Yes, since the Apple roof concert ,
Plant and Jones are both there. Plant is playing Paul's Hofner as Nahuel said.
Well he must be playing upside down as Paul is left handed and so is original bass
You can watch the Rockpile video with Robert Plant doing Little Sister from this same concert.
It is clearly Robert Plant who is 'playing' Paul's Hofner bass.
@@geoff6414 it is upside down, all the controls are under Plants arm while playing
I highly dig this version and Macca's voice is just so raspy! "I asked my friends about it, but all their lips were tight!" And Bonham's in the band!
A vocalist using his voice... very rare indeed.
They don’t rock ‘em like this anymore
Robert Plant playing a Hofner Bass. That's something you don't see everyday
You are okay It`s Paul`s bass...he`s playing the hofner upside down... 2:39

The most subdued John Bonham performance ever
you shoulda seen him on the ledzep "helter skelter" cover......NOT
can i find a dvd with that live!Mccartney's vocals were stunning
McCartney appropriately sang the ONLY vocal on this R&R classic here, and fronted this amazing congregation of this then current (1979) R&R talent.
This was awesome
Outstanding video recording of a great show -hell of a band, Paul at his best. I think Pete was envisioning a duet, Paul wasn't.
Looks like when PM took a step away from the mic to make room…Pete thought better of it. Sorta impressive that someone that trashed is still ambulatory.
It appears Townsend was on the "YAM YAM" at this particular time.

You didn't list Robert Plant who is definitely there, he sticks out like a sore thumb to me cause my bestie is madly in love with him

Part of it DOES look like this, now; some of these folks are gone. James Honeyman-Scott, Denny Laine, Linda McCartney, John Bonham.
@@shuroom57 My sister was heartbroken when Honeyman-Scott died. He was the "cute" Pretender😪
REST IN PEACE LITTLE RICHARD . (LUCILLE) .
WHAT TOTAL GREATNESS!!!
Macca, you're outstanding
Rumor has it that Paul let Robert Plant play his hofner.
Given he is playing it right handed, either he completely re strung it, or it is a different Hoffner.
@@pauljw11 If you look closely you can see he flipped it and played it upside down.
Rumor has it that my besties are in love with Paul and Robert are gonna be so excited to see this video
Best version
I'm Glad It's Your Birthday. Happy Birthday To You!!!
Macca could sure bealt out a vocal back then
Paul the undisputed musical creative genius. 🎶💕
Pitty nowadays we cant have a supergroup like this one....
The ultimate garage band!
so payasa

Idk why anyone think it's Jonesy
Pete is the greatest
Me in high school listening to this,with my partner Lucia sitting next to me I love it!! 🥰🥰
Well, I think that's been close to thirty-seven years or so that I've seen that
Same!!
Me too. I actually have the LP... Still love it.
I saw a clip of Martha Quinn circa 1981 in which she named this as her favorite music video (up to that time).
Back in the early days of MTV this video was frequently played.
Martha Quinn had a huge crush on Paul.

Townshend had just downed a bottle of Remy Martin apparently. Not that it shows.
Lol- He sure gave Pauly a creepy leer during this song. Lol
I came here because my two besties are in love with Robert Plant and Paul McCartney
RIP ROCK GOD LITTLE RICHARD
Pete Townsend lol 1:28
He was HAMMERED at this event.
Townshend was hammered.
Pete Townshend said he has no memory of playing this encore or The who's set.
Must’ve been THAT hammered 🤣
yes
@@lindaslattery8341
Una vez mas,nos demuestra por que es tan grande.
Bonham at 2:45
John Paul Jones is in the top hat next to Plant, that's why he keeps looking at him so he can "play" along on Paul's left-handed Hofner bass LOL
@roger adams He's on the upper level to the left. You can see him at the 2:45 mark
Sounds like The Beatles with a little help from some friends.. .💪

Love that Pete didn't get notice to wear the fancy gold jacket
According to his autobiography, he flat out refused to wear it
@@colujomes what a hero! Really
heroic man, implacable
What on earth was Townshend on?
No band,no artist,compared to these guys! McCartney, PERIOD!!
The bass Paul is playing is not a precision bass, it's a Yamaha bass!!!
yap a BB 1200
He was aging in reverse, he looks like he is about to sing "she loves you"
This is the only time I have ever seen Sir Paul with a Fender bass guitar...
it's a Yamaha BB1200 bass, NOT. a Fender
He used the Fender all throughout the Wings
00:43 is Robert Plant?
esa vos es inconfundible, esa manera de cantar solo es del unico paul maccartney noticia sigue vivo casi a sus ocnenta

I wonder if Plant asked permission to play Paul's Hofner? (right handed, I might add.)
Arrepiei!!! Muito Booom!
was that a threat, at 2:24 ?
Omfg Robert plant is playing guitar while Paul sings
Only Paul McCartney could get Robert Plant to play Bass, John Bonham to play from a sheet and John Paul Jones to play with a bucket on his head
So much amazing talent but what's the saying about too many cooks.
R .I P Roger Bowling
I hardly think that Plant could play this song on bass with it up side down. Its probably all for show.
who killed kirsty maccoll, and why?
Robert Plant back❤
yeah but they cut out pete freaking out and everyone moves out of his way
oh and did i metion hes blown as fuck
I think you meant the end piece, The Rockestra Theme! Pete let's his guitar rip just like he was!😉

meant to, i think: taking a piss out of paulie, which paul got (huge smile to pete)
I hate how he just blocks my bestie's crush and then gives creepy stares
then harmonizing with Linda McCartney on "Let it Be"...
Was Paul shooing Pete away?
yes
@@Bella-nt7ec Well then, was Pete / The Who put in their place as significantly inferior to the Beatles? I wonder how Pete felt about that.
@@bradwelljackson6385 😊 I guess like everyone else. There are the Beatles and then everyone else
@@Bella-nt7ec Yes, noted, but would Paul have shooed away Mick Jagger like that? ; )
