I introduced the Beatles to my daughter when she was just an infant. I sang her "Golden Slumbers" every night before I put her down. Now she is 33 and a bonafide Beatles' fan. She has seen Paul in concert three times. Parents, keep perpetuating the music so that after Paul and Ringo pass, the sounds of the Beatles will never die.
My Dad did the same thing with me and Steely Dan. Love them to this day! If you can't beat em', play the songs over and over until they do like em'.... lol
@@jeffp2x443 I love Steely Dan. The Californian Sound! I listen to them all of the time. The fine music of the '60s and '70s has influenced my own. Check out my music on TH-cam. Thanks and take care!
When you play your own song in the Royal Albert Hall while Phil Collins rocks the drums, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler jam on the guitars and Sir George Martin conducts an orchestra and a choir..... you are the one and only Sir Paul.
@@thomasallison1514 ahhhh.....But go back to early Genesis years of Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Genesis Live! INCREDIBLE band with Collins and Gabriel’s best work.
I saw him in 2022 and his Golden Slumbers performance was as good as it gets, especially after performnig a setlist of 2 and a half hours, with some songs that are pretty hard to sing(helter skelter,I ve got a feeling,...)
Ava, that is a great rhetorical question.they don't get their due among the sophisticated folks like Harry Connick Jr. and Quincy Jones who read and write music. they can't stand the fact that they've created ,indeed wrote,some of the best pop music of the last Century. as if only cave people write songs w/ chords and combine them w/ poetry .how primitive.but when you've got Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry on your side, you will make good music.
You should check out the band vampire weekend. Their music is very orchestral. They're huge music nerds and credit McCartney and Paul Simon as huge inspirations. Lots of dissonance and cacophony in the style of Paul and very much music for musicians. Their music is fairly varied but especially the last album is very full and symphonic. Greetings from ft Lauderdale.
I become emotional listening to and watching the Beatles perform. I was embarrassed to admit it, thinking there was something wrong with me, just too sentimental, emotionally fragile? Then I read your comment. Now I can come out! Thank you.
Holy crap!!!! Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Phill Collins, Eric Clapton, Ray Cooper, a string ensemble, gospel singers, and all directed by George Martin....what the hell was this concert??? Queen's Birthday???? Damn!
Its the concert for Montserrat I think! Same where Collins, Clapton and Knopfler played "Money for nothing", right? ...yeah it is! I can recognize. If you havent heard of the volcano isle of Montserrat, the legendary studio and all the artists that recorded there, before it got burned down, go check it out! Its legendary! ... Merry christmas folks from germany!
George Martin had a studio in Montserrat, which was devastated by a volcanic eruption. So he set up a gig to raise funds for the island. It was at the Royal Albert Hall. Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Elton John, Carl Perkins, Sting or Jimmy Buffett were there
I am 72 years old and live in New Zealand. The Beatles will NEVER be outdone! Ringo has always been my HERO, and the reason I learnt drums & played semi-ptrofessionally for 17 years. It shows the brilliance of The Beatles, when Paul & Ringo can surround themselves with the greatest musicians in the world, and have George Martin conduct the on-stage orchestra !!!!!!
Sorry to hear that, brother. I'm sure your wife is in a better place now and that she was loved to the end and beyond. "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."
My father played this apple vinyl again and again, yet I never tired of it. Now when I hear Golden Slumbers through to The End it gives me tears. Love my pop and love the Beatles, forever.
Just listening to this video for the first time. I played the grooves out of my Abbey Road LP when it came out. To see and hear this with all the additional amazing talent has reduced me to tears. To think a half a century later so many people are still playing their tunes. What a legacy!
The Kinks were pretty damn close, and the The Who too. The Who influenced a bunch of well known bands like Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, ACDC, Rush, Green Day, Oasis, and so many more. The Kinks inspired so many bands too. Inspired punk rock, garage rock, and hard rock. Hugely influential, just deeply under appreciated in their hay day. But these are all 60’s bands. Anything new couldn’t hold a candle to the Beatles, hell they couldn’t even hold a candle to The Troggs lmao
@@krowta2062 for me John wrote about 3-4 masterpieces. Strawberry fields A day in the life Norwegian wood In my life (if it counts cause Paul and John never agreed on who wrote the melody) And Paul has done loads Blackbird Yesterday Let it be Hey Jude The Long And Winding Road Penny lane Eleanor Right For no one Back in the USSR Here im only including beatles work because if not I’d have imagine in there
Regards Golden Slumbers, McCartney uses the first stanza of the original poem, with minor word changes. As he couldn't read the original music he created his own take on it.
Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, and a cast of thousands. Wow. Just WOW. I'm so honored to be living during this time of pop music history.
Nah, he’s just enjoying the moment. I think people don’t realize that they do like two weeks of rehearsals with all the musicians and orchestra before they ever put on a TV show like this. Kind of naïve to think they just all show up one day and play their asses off
@@Eric_In_SF of course they rehearsed. But in the actual moment of the performance with an audience the piece often comes alive for the performer. You can clearly see paul is moved and loving every minute of it.
Not to mention to the fact that he’s got an ear monitors. If you’ve ever played on the live stage that size you’ll know the only thing you hear is what you’re being fed through the headphones. And if I know him he wants to hear piano and drums and his vocals and most everything else iIn the mix is probably pretty low outside of bass drums and piano.
The pure genius of Sir Paul McCartney with Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Phil Collins's unbelievable drums intro to The End makes me feel shiver still. Wow 👍👌🌟✌️✌️✌️
I could hear instantly it was him on drum, somehow the way he hits is only him and him. I don't have enough understanding to explain why the way he plays is so unique. I wish he had never given up on drums. He is a beautiful drummer.
Phil did a really great job filling in for Ringo. Mark and Eric were I think appropriately overshadowed by John and George. That last guitar conversation between 3 Beatles is really something
I want this song played at my funeral. 😢 Getting back homeward hits different in your mid 50’s. When I saw Paul McCartney in concert I think I cried so hard because I knew I was watching a legend. Love him.
@@denisekhan1531 "Written" means "composed" in this context. Lyrics was indeed from 1603 (under the name "cradle song" BTW, not golden slumbers), but this melody is by Sir James Paul McCartney.
@@harmonia32 I think rather than composed the correct description would be “arranged”. The tune is the same one my mother sang to me over 60 years ago. It was also a traditional folk song I learnt to play at piano lessons many years ago. Unless there are two Cradle Songs then are confusing it with the one by Brahms?
If you like this song, I highly recommend Jamison Faulkner - i want to tell you something! I wrote the song about my grandfather who recently passed@@martincvitkovich724
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make" - the closing statement by The Beatles. So great and so true. They left with a great closing statement
I think the quality to it's enchantments is it's brevity and that is IS unfinished. If it were it might not be what it is, the work of a musical genius.
This song is a musical masterpiece. Like all the songs of The Beatles the music and their meanings are beyond profound. For me this lyric says it all, “And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take.”
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
asi es, suerte mia que se presento en chile hace un par de semanas y pude verlo, un deseo hecho realidad, poder escuchar las canciones que uno tanto canto en karaokes y fiestas ahora cantadas por quien las creo.
Paul has a game face. Humble isn't in his makeup, you just have to watch the Get Back series. It's great, but it shows Paul's ego very well. One of the best people on the planet? Doubtful. He's reputedly a cheapskate and a capricious one at that, ask some of his former Wings bandmates. Gracious? He's documented being an intoxicated arsehole. To me, the question is: what does having the world hail you as a genius from the age of 22 or so, and at the same time, want a piece of you, do to you as a person? Linda was often very unhappy in that marriage. James, his son, has some serious emotional problems. As a songwriter, or at least a melodicist, he is probably without parallel in the 20th century. As a human being, well, let's just say sometimes meeting your 'hero' can be a disappointment. And as much as he'd like to put the breakup on John, it was Paul who nixed the plan for 4 songs each separately, 2 for Ringo, which was proposed about a week or so before John left.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen agreed! Don't get me started on Mother Teresa! She was a total tool as well. She went and lived with the poor in Calcutta. If you hear it from them she wasn't invited and stayed well past her welcome
Remember the most popular kid in our school? Well Paul is the most popular kid on the planet, still going strong into his late seventies and early eighties. Phenomenal human being. Thankful I have been around to enjoy him all these years.
I’m 70 years old and am just wondering if my children, in 50 years time, will be able to look into their old iPads and listen to today’s music with the same reverence? The quality of music during my life has been incredible.
They definitely will. There’s amazing music still being made today by brilliant artists, it just may not be for you. And that’s ok! The generation before you thought the Beatles were pop junk too, that’s just the cyclical nature of life.
One of the best pieces of rock music ever written. The Beatles were musicians nonpareil and they influenced almost every genre of music, from rock to jazz to pop to classical. Would have been so interesting to see what their collective collaborations would have brought in the 70s, especially with the added influence of George, who played a larger role in their music towards then end. And what a cast playing this masterpiece!
Yes they are an influential band and had influenced other pop and rock bands. But seriously mate, they never influenced jazz music and classical music those 2 are very different kind of music than what the beatles put out. You could say classical music influenced some of the beatles work because George Martin who is their producer was a classically trained pianist but the beatles did not influence jazz music or classical music. Saying they did is just isn't right.
And to think it was all just a hodgepodge of leftover bits of song from the let it be sessions. John Lennon hated this side of the album. Said it was just a collection of McCartney’s junk unfinished songs. I always thought it was epic
Nothing, absolutely nothing will ever compare to the Beatles. And each individual one just adds to their mystique. I feel so very fortunate to have grown up with John, Paul, George and Ringo !! They are forever at the top of the rock and roll food chain
"You Never Give Me Your Money" is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Its melody is poignantly beautiful and it moves you emotionally. It's hard to separate this from "Golden Slumbers" and "Because" as being the best tracks from "Abbey Road". Though I concede that picking a favourite song from the Beatles catalogue is a near impossible task, because their quality was so outstandingly consistent. The "Fab Four" are incomparable. They were unique. A one off. We will never experience anything like them again. They changed the world, not only in music, but the flow-on effects on other areas of society too.
There's a recording (vocals only) of "Because" out there with them doing six part harmony; John, Paul and George. They've talked about it, rarely, but didn't actually release it. Someone did, maybe M.J. when he owned the catalogue.
@@albertschepis You're welcome, Albert. You may already know this, but most of their bootlegged material was consolidated ( legally ) onto their "Anthology" series of CD's. And you can listen to them here on TH-cam.
There's a lot of classic albums. And people will argue forever over their own preferences. The three that stand out for me as the "best of the best" are "Abbey Road" ( simply sublime, and what a swansong to finish their career with ! ), and the two from Pink Floyd -"Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The Wall".
"sleep pretty darling, do not cry" are the prettiest lyrics to this song. As a grown man they still touch me since I fell in love with this song as a boy.
@Anthony Marks LOL-- truth--- LOL. I ALWAYS think of " Her Majesty" as not being there at all, yet it WAS there and you are 100% right lolol---- but also, if we think about that and then we look at the actual chronology of when the albums got released since " Let It Be" was actually the last Beatles album ever "released", it waters down the effect of the chilling irony of this songs words being the last lyrics on Side Two on the last Beatles album ever released lol. There is a GREAT line from the very end of " The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" that says "When Legend Becomes Fact, Print The Legend". This is a GREAT example, yet in my mind , I still choose to believe the LEGEND, if that makes sense, because I LOVE the Beatles !!!!!
Before the Beatles, rock & roll was viewed as kid's music, fluff, a passing fad. The Beatles changed rock & roll into serious art, loved by kids & adults, and everyone in between - all over the world. Like them or not, and personally I don't see how it's possible to *not* like them, it is *not* possible to overstate their influence. They changed EVERYTHING.
When my eldest ( who just called to tell her daddy about her wonderful day😁)was born, and couldn’t sleep, inwould rock her in my arms& sing the “golden slumbers part to her. Such a beautiful song. I think I shed a tear. Sir Paul is the best. Rocking what..7 decades😳. Nothing but love . Thank you
This...is fucking legendary. As a musician, this both inspires me, makes me feel insignificant, makes me feel humble, and makes me emotional all in one. I will never not look up to The Beatles.
If you like this song, I highly recommend Jamison Faulkner - i want to tell you something! I wrote the song about my grandfather who recently passed@@bennettsalt
I’m so thankful to God. That I was born in the 60’s. And was able to experience the best music of that era. I can never get tired of hearing the Beatles music. It will live on forever. Because it’s just that good! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🖤🤍🤎
The band alone is incomparable; Eric, Mark, Phil. The orchestra being conducted by George Martin. The background chorus. All in the Grand Albert Hall. And leading the way with the greatest medley he ever wrote, the unmatched and never to be surpassed Sir Paul McCartney.. really, it just doesn't get any better!!
This trio of songs will always bring a tear to my eyes. A large part of that feeling is just the gratitude I feel for having been privileged to have the Beatles to grow up with.
I was born in 1953 and was the perfect age to grow up with the Beatles. I remember their early albums (in mono, no less!) selling for .99 cents at the A&P grocery store. Every 6 months, like clockwork, they'd release a new album or single that, incredibly, was better than their previous songs. "She Loves You," I Feel Fine, "Paperback Writer," "Help!" "A Day In the Life," They just seemed to get better and better with every passing year. Our minds were constantly being blown by these four "mop tops," who came out of nowhere and changed popular music forever. We just took it for granted that it would never end, or at least, I did. And then, when I turned 16, it suddenly ended. But, man, what a ride!!
@@scifiwriter98 So you were born the same year as my older brother. I was born in 1955 and we were on that same ride. Saw A Hard Day’s Night at one of 3 downtown movie theaters. Every Christmas was a no-brainer as to what to get for each other. Beatles album! What a ride indeed.
@@scifiwriter98 I was born in '50, and when the Beatles happened, I was enthralled. The first album, the black one, called "Meet the Beatles" here, I hitchhiked to the nearest town that had a record shop and bought it. I was 13. I'm now in my 70s, and I still have all my Beatles albums. That first album was not in stereo, but HiFi.
I remember being completely fascinated by Tomorrow Never Knows. I'd sit next to the record player in the basement and play it over and over, trying to imagine where those weird sounds came from. Twelve-year-old kids today stare at their phone screens all day. That's progress for you.
It’s kind of weird to think that Paul was 27 when Abbey Road came out, and now he’s 77. He looks really good for his age, and it’s so funny that he’s still selling out arenas and making amazing music well into his seventies, when according to the Sgt. Pepper’s album, 64 was considered beyond old. How times have changed.
“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love, you make” - the last line on the last Beatles album ever recorded. Always brings a tear to my eye
Not sure why exactly, but seeing George Martin there conducting makes me emotional and just warms my heart. He was an absolute genius and deserves all the credit for The Beatles’ perfection that he receives (notwithstanding John’s ridiculous comments during a period when he was pissy at everyone and everything not named Yoko). My respect for Paul, which otherwise could not be higher, was increased even more by the respect he always gave George Martin. (Plus, if you see any old pictures or film of the band in the studio, George Martin was always impeccably dressed; the best, most timeless fashion sense IMO.)
@@rjo9113 I wouldn’t say twisted, but he was bitter as hell. Somebody said that John never got to grow into an old man, to grow out of his young snotty and bitter phase. I think he would’ve turned around.
GEORGE MARTIN WAS THE BRAIN, HEART AND SOUL BEHIND THE INCREDIBLE CAREER OF THE BEATLES. HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO EVOLVE TOWARD A NEW KIND OF MUSIC SINCE REVOLVER. HE BROUGHT TO THEM CLASS, ELEGANCE, CLASSIC BACKGROUND (BACH, BEETHOVEN, MOZART, ETC.). PLUS HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE MASTER OF MIXING (ALONG WITH HIS VERY TALENTED ENGINEERS, LIKE ALAN PARSONS). HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO BLEND STYLES IN POP SONGS. ALSO, HE AND JOHN HAD A INCREDIBLE SENSE OF PATHOS, WHICH MADE THEIR MUSIC EXTRAORDINARILY MYSTIC, SAD, DEEP, UNFORGETTABLE. JUST THINK ABOUT "IN MY LIFE", OR "GIRL" OR "STRAWBERRY FIELDS" OR ........... AND PAUL EMERGED FROM THAT EPOCH AS A GREAT COMPOSER, IN PARTICULAR WITH HIS MELODIES (LIKE A JUGLAR). RESPECT TO ALL AND EVERYONE OF THEM. BUT GEORGE MARTIN REALLY WAS THE FIFTH BEATLE. NOBODY CREDITED HIM AS HE REALLY DESERVED IN HIS LIFE AT EMI.
I always wonder if he thinks of Linda when he sings this. He held her as she died and he said, “ You’re on your Appaloosa horse…” and she took her last breath as he painted the picture for her.” They had such a beautiful love story. Much love Sir Paul and Lady Linda.
That Comet that streaked across our skies in the mid sixties and created what was the greatest musical sea-change ever seen, will never come around again. How very fortunate that we were here to hear it, live amongst its brightness, and hear it repeated from now until the end of time. When you consider what passes for "music" these days, you realize what a bolt of genius Lennon and McCartney were.
My wife and I adopted our youngest son born prematurely and drug addicted and a special song became all that more special I held him all those early day rocking him and holding on for dear life
There is not a lot than can bring this old man to tears, but this music will remain a timeless work of art forever. There was a supernatural moment in my lifetime when Sir Paul and his mates made the rafters in heaven ring with eternal beauty.
I lost a friend yesterday. This was his favorite song and he asked my husband, a pianist, to play it for him for his 40th. He passed a few months later. I’m so sad.
I’m 18 now and went through a full Beatles moment aged 16 I have a deep deep appreciation for the band and their music and I think every teen should have a Beatles phase and feel the beautiful influence of these masterpieces
to say all the good tunes have already been written is ignorance and juvenoia. old people said the same thing about the beatles when they were popular, now we see how amazing and legendary they were. there are still plenty of great artists that are popular right now
Me similar as you.But I was born in 1968, and from 11 years old when I hear a song of them, and no knowing them, neither their name , that songs doing me remember I know them from the past, from before I born , from mi inner remembers mind, and then ,I begin to search all of them , all that I can read, hear, see, learn of them
Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden Slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Boy, you're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time I never give you my pillow I only send you my invitations And in the middle of the celebrations I break down Boy, you're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Oh yeah, all right Are you gonna be in my dreams Tonight And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make
I read in a magazine back in the mid 80s a Q&A with Phil Collins and he was asked what his favourite album was. Side 2 of Abbey Road was his answer. To play on this must have been very fulfilling as a professional I would imagine.
Yeah we do understand Most who don't like the beatles don't think the music's bad, they just see it as, well old, because it is 😅 But we still fully respect what they did
Me too after describing myfate OnceThereWas aWay - blocked 2O yrs!! CarryThatWeight a long time. Wished to sing🎸 with Phil Collins being same age 30/31Jan51
I lost my son 4 years ago and my Dad lost his wife (my mom) after 61 years also. I honor their memory and keep them in my heart and thoughts everyday. Hang in their my friend.❤️
Kevin, I am so sorry to hear that. I lost my son in 2007. My mom also passed away in `2013 and my Dad in the 70s. I look forward to seeing them all again.
I’ve seen Sir Paul McCartney live four times at the age of 37......each concert has ended with these masterpieces and I’ve never danced so hard in my seat and/or the aisles in my entire life. How does this not move one to dance, sing, smile and cry all at once?!? Next to I’m Only Sleeping, this goes down in the books as the greatest thing they’ve ever done. Born in the wrong era....or maybe I was a groupie/hippie in a past life. The Beatles make everything better. EVERYTHING.
Oct. 2019...50 year re-release of Abbey Road album....went straight to # 1 in the UK. Young kids, pre-teens, teens, young adults and "Millenials" are all well aware of and listen to The Beatles. My grandkids demand I play The Beatles when driving in the car. Like Davinci, Michelangelo, The Bard, Et. Al., John, Paul, George and Ringo will go on and on and on. They were a miracle that we boomers got to live through and appreciate first hand. I was ten years old in 1963... I grow to appreciate them more and more the older I get. Thank you Lads!
My grandson Christian passed last month 21yrs old ( covid) I played wings band on the run off TH-cam so he could hear it he was comatose on a ventilator I sang to this song and others knowing how much he loved wings/ Paul McCartney it was the hardest thing I've ever experienced
"A Day In The Life" is my fave Beatles song, BUT "Abbey Road" is my fave album. I think they should have saved these 3 for their last album, even tho sadly "Let It Be" was all recorded separately...not as a quartet. 61 years later & the Beatles are STILL #1 in ALL music history. They will never die.
This man has given so much pleasure to millions of people all over the world !!! He deserved being assisted by other music genius. But he'll stay forever in the Pantheon. God bless you Sir Paul !

Just listening to this video for the first time. I played the grooves out of my Abbey Road LP when it came out. To see and hear this with all the additional amazing talent has reduced me to tears. To think a half a century later so many people are still playing their tunes. What a legacy!
your dad is a very lucky man with great taste in music. all the best.
To have George Martin conduct the strings that HE wrote for this song, is pure magic! He is such a treasure! The 5th Beatle for sure!
Such Talent
RojotheRed mby
I was just almost about to type the same comment. So true.
RojotheRed He was more than the fifth Beatle. He contributed more than Ringo and George combined.
You forgot the album let it be there is no Martin there
There will never be another band as influential and brilliant as the Beatles, McCartney will never be topped, simply the best of all time
*Coughs in the Miles Davis Sextet*
100% correct. Well Boy George is a close. . . . .
The Kinks were pretty damn close, and the The Who too. The Who influenced a bunch of well known bands like Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, ACDC, Rush, Green Day, Oasis, and so many more. The Kinks inspired so many bands too. Inspired punk rock, garage rock, and hard rock. Hugely influential, just deeply under appreciated in their hay day. But these are all 60’s bands. Anything new couldn’t hold a candle to the Beatles, hell they couldn’t even hold a candle to The Troggs lmao

Who else in the world could ever compose such an epic song? Nobody but Paul.
Nobody does it better😊
A music genious
Regards Golden Slumbers, McCartney uses the first stanza of the original poem, with minor word changes. As he couldn't read the original music he created his own take on it.
@@taketwo-e5u And he created another beautiful poem from this.
Paul McCartney has never been afraid to surround himself world-class talent, and there was plenty up there that night. Sign of a true master.
I think that Paul is comfortable in his own skin and is not afraid to perform with other musicians. Plus, I think he just likes music. Period.
@@margiethreadgill563 You think he likes music? No way. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I see no problem for Paul. He is bigger than of all them...combined
You mean world class musicians don't mind surrounding themselves around Paul McCartney

The most beautiful piece of music ever written. Paul McCartney was a one off. Never be another like him.
No there will never be another like him. John was exceptional as well.
The Mozart of our era.

The whole album was like a story/journey

one of the world's best song ever written in pop music history
It's rock and roll...???
Oh this isn't pop my friend
No Sub Boi this is definitely pop, pop rock i guess. nothing wrong with that
Liam John its pop rock, the Beatles essentially defined the genre.
@@williamrogers9918 Right. Pop just stands for popular; it's popular rock.
Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, and a cast of thousands. Wow. Just WOW. I'm so honored to be living during this time of pop music history.
I love that you can see Paul is amazed himself at how beautiful his composition is when played with an orchestra. What an unbelievably beautiful man.
yeah, you can see the smile when those strings come in on the second verse.
Nah, he’s just enjoying the moment. I think people don’t realize that they do like two weeks of rehearsals with all the musicians and orchestra before they ever put on a TV show like this. Kind of naïve to think they just all show up one day and play their asses off
@@Eric_In_SF of course they rehearsed. But in the actual moment of the performance with an audience the piece often comes alive for the performer. You can clearly see paul is moved and loving every minute of it.
@@Eric_In_SF Nah, he's quite obviously amazed. Actual people have appropriate human emotions when beautiful things happen to them.
Not to mention to the fact that he’s got an ear monitors. If you’ve ever played on the live stage that size you’ll know the only thing you hear is what you’re being fed through the headphones. And if I know him he wants to hear piano and drums and his vocals and most everything else iIn the mix is probably pretty low outside of bass drums and piano.
The pure genius of Sir Paul McCartney with Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Phil Collins's unbelievable drums intro to The End makes me feel shiver still. Wow 👍👌🌟✌️✌️✌️
I could hear instantly it was him on drum, somehow the way he hits is only him and him. I don't have enough understanding to explain why the way he plays is so unique.
I wish he had never given up on drums. He is a beautiful drummer.
Any drummer could do that, phil is not that special. Paul toured with a bombastic, fabulous drummer that wasn’t phil
Phil did a really great job filling in for Ringo. Mark and Eric were I think appropriately overshadowed by John and George. That last guitar conversation between 3 Beatles is really something
I want this song played at my funeral. 😢 Getting back homeward hits different in your mid 50’s. When I saw Paul McCartney in concert I think I cried so hard because I knew I was watching a legend. Love him.
Me too i like this music too much
3 songs with 3 different meanings. Yet, they connect. They are such geniuses.
Band on the Run does that too.
Aren't they all about death/loss?
100% correct, well put
@@thierrycarlow3810 no! However the majority almost all are about love.
Pretty much all McCartney's work
Hard to believe that this was written over half a century ago. Still an amazing piece of music.
and the technology then could not allow for such a great performance
Golden Slumbers was actually written in 1603!
@@denisekhan1531 "Written" means "composed" in this context. Lyrics was indeed from 1603 (under the name "cradle song" BTW, not golden slumbers), but this melody is by Sir James Paul McCartney.
@@harmonia32 I think rather than composed the correct description would be “arranged”. The tune is the same one my mother sang to me over 60 years ago. It was also a traditional folk song I learnt to play at piano lessons many years ago. Unless there are two Cradle Songs then are confusing it with the one by Brahms?
If you like this song, I highly recommend Jamison Faulkner - i want to tell you something! I wrote the song about my grandfather who recently passed@@martincvitkovich724
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make" - the closing statement by The Beatles. So great and so true. They left with a great closing statement
Her majesty was their closing statement
@@biggray2 Lol You beat me to it
Farley: “Is…is that true?” 😄
Her majesty is after the closing statement, a beautiful reminder that this amazing band didn’t take itself too seriously and neither should anyone
@@mrSam3ooo nah it's placement is still dumb lol in the original melody the end came last and it fits soooo much better, goofing be damned
The Second verse of Golden Slumbers is so beautiful and Paul puts so much power when he sings it. Who agrees with me?❤
I always wish Golden Slumbers was a song 2 to 3 times longer. Such a beautiful song I need more of it.
One of Paul's best.
You’re 100% right, and how they magically and seamlessly fit together
I thought that way for years. Now I just can't imagine it w/o the medley.
yes,yes, and yes
I think the quality to it's enchantments is it's brevity and that is IS unfinished. If it were it might not be what it is, the work of a musical genius.
Eric Clapton and Mark knopfler on guitar, Phil Collins on drums and macca on piano, guitar and singing. What a line up...
Brian Murphy almost as great as George Harrison and John Lennon on guitar, Ringo Starr on drums and Macca on piano, bass and singing. Almost.

You have it backwards, but we know what you meant.
Greatest phrase ever: and in the end the Love you take ie equal to the love you make! How powerful!!

The last song on the last album by the greatest band the world 🌎 has ever seen!
Best ending to any album I've ever heard.
Can you even begin to imagine how Paul McCartney manages to be one of the best people on the planet. Gracious, kind, sharing and humble.
He supports Obama, hildabeast, and Biden, so he’s at least 25% douche
@@willard2729 Troll.
Paul has a game face. Humble isn't in his makeup, you just have to watch the Get Back series. It's great, but it shows Paul's ego very well. One of the best people on the planet? Doubtful. He's reputedly a cheapskate and a capricious one at that, ask some of his former Wings bandmates. Gracious? He's documented being an intoxicated arsehole.
To me, the question is: what does having the world hail you as a genius from the age of 22 or so, and at the same time, want a piece of you, do to you as a person?
Linda was often very unhappy in that marriage.
James, his son, has some serious emotional problems.
As a songwriter, or at least a melodicist, he is probably without parallel in the 20th century. As a human being, well, let's just say sometimes meeting your 'hero' can be a disappointment.
And as much as he'd like to put the breakup on John, it was Paul who nixed the plan for 4 songs each separately, 2 for Ringo, which was proposed about a week or so before John left.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen Agree, Paul is my favorite beatle, but he was an asshole. I think a lot of people idealize him
@@PreacherAtArrakeen agreed! Don't get me started on Mother Teresa! She was a total tool as well. She went and lived with the poor in Calcutta. If you hear it from them she wasn't invited and stayed well past her welcome
Remember the most popular kid in our school? Well Paul is the most popular kid on the planet, still going strong into his late seventies and early eighties. Phenomenal human being. Thankful I have been around to enjoy him all these years.
I’m 70 years old and am just wondering if my children, in 50 years time, will be able to look into their old iPads and listen to today’s music with the same reverence? The quality of music during my life has been incredible.
Yes x
Not today’s music but they’ll certainly still be talking about The Beatles.
I'm 12 and I love the beatles
Muy poco. Pero The Beatles vinieron hace más de 50 para quedarse
They definitely will. There’s amazing music still being made today by brilliant artists, it just may not be for you. And that’s ok!
The generation before you thought the Beatles were pop junk too, that’s just the cyclical nature of life.
One of the greatest medleys ever written that ends with one of the greatest lyrical phrases.
Certainly one of Paul's greatest compositions.
The Beatles have always been the pioneers in rhapsodic music. No wonder why the Queen band has high regard with the former.
One of the best pieces of rock music ever written. The Beatles were musicians nonpareil and they influenced almost every genre of music, from rock to jazz to pop to classical. Would have been so interesting to see what their collective collaborations would have brought in the 70s, especially with the added influence of George, who played a larger role in their music towards then end. And what a cast playing this masterpiece!
Well you never know...
They probably said that in 1791 (when Mozart passed on). Only had to wait 150 years.
Yes they are an influential band and had influenced other pop and rock bands. But seriously mate, they never influenced jazz music and classical music those 2 are very different kind of music than what the beatles put out. You could say classical music influenced some of the beatles work because George Martin who is their producer was a classically trained pianist but the beatles did not influence jazz music or classical music. Saying they did is just isn't right.
And to think it was all just a hodgepodge of leftover bits of song from the let it be sessions. John Lennon hated this side of the album. Said it was just a collection of McCartney’s junk unfinished songs. I always thought it was epic
@@Eric_In_SF I agree!

"You Never Give Me Your Money" is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Its melody is poignantly beautiful and it moves you emotionally. It's hard to separate this from "Golden Slumbers" and "Because" as being the best tracks from "Abbey Road". Though I concede that picking a favourite song from the Beatles catalogue is a near impossible task, because their quality was so outstandingly consistent.
The "Fab Four" are incomparable. They were unique. A one off. We will never experience anything like them again. They changed the world, not only in music, but the flow-on effects on other areas of society too.
There's a recording (vocals only) of "Because" out there with them doing six part harmony; John, Paul and George. They've talked about it, rarely, but didn't actually release it. Someone did, maybe M.J. when he owned the catalogue.
@@albertschepis I'm sure it would be on a few of the many bootleg recordings that can be found for those that know where to look.
@@gribwitch Yes, bootleg. That's the word I was stumbling for. Ty.
@@albertschepis You're welcome, Albert.
You may already know this, but most of their bootlegged material was consolidated ( legally ) onto their "Anthology" series of CD's.
And you can listen to them here on TH-cam.
So true! They influenced my life since I've been fourteen and I was born after they'd split up. Their magic will go on forever.
Not too many "perfect" albums out there.
I consider Abbey Road one of them and this musical sequence is a wonderful part of that beautiful album.
Totally agree!
Right up there with Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon ❤
There's a lot of classic albums. And people will argue forever over their own preferences. The three that stand out for me as the "best of the best" are "Abbey Road" ( simply sublime, and what a swansong to finish their career with ! ), and the two from Pink Floyd -"Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The Wall".

But he didn't have a McCartney to apply such a poignant and beautiful melody to it. Such is the magic and power of art and the soul.
@@noriemeha John did the same with a lot of his lyrics. You still need to write a melody for them though
@Anthony Marks LOL-- truth--- LOL. I ALWAYS think of " Her Majesty" as not being there at all, yet it WAS there and you are 100% right lolol---- but also, if we think about that and then we look at the actual chronology of when the albums got released since " Let It Be" was actually the last Beatles album ever "released", it waters down the effect of the chilling irony of this songs words being the last lyrics on Side Two on the last Beatles album ever released lol. There is a GREAT line from the very end of " The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" that says "When Legend Becomes Fact, Print The Legend". This is a GREAT example, yet in my mind , I still choose to believe the LEGEND, if that makes sense, because I LOVE the Beatles !!!!!
@Anthony Marks That's TRUE --- great point as that line was a classic---- a really great moment and that whole scene was great. Classic !!
Before the Beatles, rock & roll was viewed as kid's music, fluff, a passing fad. The Beatles changed rock & roll into serious art, loved by kids & adults, and everyone in between - all over the world. Like them or not, and personally I don't see how it's possible to *not* like them, it is *not* possible to overstate their influence. They changed EVERYTHING.
When my eldest ( who just called to tell her daddy about her wonderful day😁)was born, and couldn’t sleep, inwould rock her in my arms& sing the “golden slumbers part to her. Such a beautiful song. I think I shed a tear. Sir Paul is the best. Rocking what..7 decades😳. Nothing but love . Thank you

This...is fucking legendary. As a musician, this both inspires me, makes me feel insignificant, makes me feel humble, and makes me emotional all in one. I will never not look up to The Beatles.

The band alone is incomparable; Eric, Mark, Phil. The orchestra being conducted by George Martin. The background chorus. All in the Grand Albert Hall. And leading the way with the greatest medley he ever wrote, the unmatched and never to be surpassed Sir Paul McCartney..
really, it just doesn't get any better!!
This trio of songs will always bring a tear to my eyes. A large part of that feeling is just the gratitude I feel for having been privileged to have the
Beatles to grow up with.
I was born in 1953 and was the perfect age to grow up with the Beatles. I remember their early albums (in mono, no less!) selling for .99 cents at the A&P grocery store. Every 6 months, like clockwork, they'd release a new album or single that, incredibly, was better than their previous songs. "She Loves You," I Feel Fine, "Paperback Writer," "Help!" "A Day In the Life," They just seemed to get better and better with every passing year. Our minds were constantly being blown by these four "mop tops," who came out of nowhere and changed popular music forever. We just took it for granted that it would never end, or at least, I did. And then, when I turned 16, it suddenly ended.
But, man, what a ride!!
@@scifiwriter98 So you were born the same year as my older brother. I was born in 1955 and we were on that same ride. Saw A Hard Day’s Night at one of 3 downtown movie theaters. Every Christmas was a no-brainer as to what to get for each other. Beatles album! What a ride indeed.
@@scifiwriter98 1953 here too.
@@scifiwriter98 I was born in '50, and when the Beatles happened, I was enthralled. The first album, the black one, called "Meet the Beatles" here, I hitchhiked to the nearest town that had a record shop and bought it. I was 13. I'm now in my 70s, and I still have all my Beatles albums. That first album was not in stereo, but HiFi.
I remember being completely fascinated by Tomorrow Never Knows. I'd sit next to the record player in the basement and play it over and over, trying to imagine where those weird sounds came from.
Twelve-year-old kids today stare at their phone screens all day.
That's progress for you.
It’s kind of weird to think that Paul was 27 when Abbey Road came out, and now he’s 77.
He looks really good for his age, and it’s so funny that he’s still selling out arenas and making amazing music well into his seventies, when according to the Sgt. Pepper’s album, 64 was considered beyond old. How times have changed.
Michael H. I didn’t mean in this video, I meant now. I know this was a while ago and he’s much older. Also he’s still 77, he’s not 78 until June.
Part of the reason he looks and is so healthy is his diet... he's a vegetarian (or vegan). Living a good life and music helps keep one young!
yes, haha, clearly the same Paul. I agree. Not at all a younger replacement. That wouldn't make sense at all.

Not sure why exactly, but seeing George Martin there conducting makes me emotional and just warms my heart. He was an absolute genius and deserves all the credit for The Beatles’ perfection that he receives (notwithstanding John’s ridiculous comments during a period when he was pissy at everyone and everything not named Yoko). My respect for Paul, which otherwise could not be higher, was increased even more by the respect he always gave George Martin. (Plus, if you see any old pictures or film of the band in the studio, George Martin was always impeccably dressed; the best, most timeless fashion sense IMO.)
I feel the same way
Well said. Lenton was very bitter and twisted.
@@rjo9113 I wouldn’t say twisted, but he was bitter as hell. Somebody said that John never got to grow into an old man, to grow out of his young snotty and bitter phase. I think he would’ve turned around.
GEORGE MARTIN WAS THE BRAIN, HEART AND SOUL BEHIND THE INCREDIBLE CAREER OF THE BEATLES. HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO EVOLVE TOWARD A NEW KIND OF MUSIC SINCE REVOLVER. HE BROUGHT TO THEM CLASS, ELEGANCE, CLASSIC BACKGROUND (BACH, BEETHOVEN, MOZART, ETC.). PLUS HE WAS THE ABSOLUTE MASTER OF MIXING (ALONG WITH HIS VERY TALENTED ENGINEERS, LIKE ALAN PARSONS).
HE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO BLEND STYLES IN POP SONGS. ALSO, HE AND JOHN HAD A INCREDIBLE SENSE OF PATHOS, WHICH MADE THEIR MUSIC EXTRAORDINARILY MYSTIC, SAD,
DEEP, UNFORGETTABLE. JUST THINK ABOUT "IN MY LIFE", OR "GIRL" OR "STRAWBERRY FIELDS" OR ...........
AND PAUL EMERGED FROM THAT EPOCH AS A GREAT COMPOSER, IN PARTICULAR WITH HIS MELODIES (LIKE A JUGLAR). RESPECT TO ALL AND EVERYONE OF THEM. BUT GEORGE MARTIN REALLY WAS THE FIFTH BEATLE. NOBODY CREDITED HIM AS HE REALLY DESERVED IN HIS LIFE AT EMI.
@@allbottledup9513 who knows!
Everyone on stage, except Paul...grew up to this. And that's what got them all up on that stage.
Greatness.
I always wonder if he thinks of Linda when he sings this. He held her as she died and he said, “ You’re on your Appaloosa horse…” and she took her last breath as he painted the picture for her.” They had such a beautiful love story. Much love Sir Paul and Lady Linda.
Oddly enough, i wondered if he thought of her as well...

Never get tired of Abbey Road especially this gorgeous finale. No denying Sir Paul wrote the most beautiful music overall.
There just not enough words to describe how lucky we are to have this man in our world. Thanks sir paul. I hope you know how much we love you.
The kids of today simply don't understand how great the beatles are. Without a doubt the greatest band to ever play on this planet.
Yes. But a lot of them do understand.
I do
They really do. Don't gatekeep, just enjoy the music.
Yeah we do understand
Most who don't like the beatles don't think the music's bad, they just see it as, well old, because it is 😅
But we still fully respect what they did
Are you Eric Burdon from The animals? Lol 😊
He’s 76 and still performing. Saw him in Austin a month ago. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. May he never stop touring.
This whole track brings tears of joy to my eyes ❤
Hello dear how are you doing ❤❤❤❤
The Beatles music helped me through a lot of hard times

That final lyric 'the love you take is equal to the love you make' has inspired me every since- it is the ultimate truth.
Sir Paul McCartney is and always will be a music ICON!
I lost my son 4 years ago and my Dad lost his wife (my mom) after 61 years also. I honor their memory and keep them in my heart and thoughts everyday. Hang in their my friend.❤️
Kevin, I am so sorry to hear that. I lost my son in 2007. My mom also passed away in `2013 and my Dad in the 70s. I look forward to seeing them all again.
Paul McCartney is the greatest living pop musician. Golden tunes. Just a total institution that needs to be recognised while he is still going.
I watch not only because it's a brilliant version but we have so many stars to celebrate it.
I’ve seen Sir Paul McCartney live four times at the age of 37......each concert has ended with these masterpieces and I’ve never danced so hard in my seat and/or the aisles in my entire life.
How does this not move one to dance, sing, smile and cry all at once?!? Next to I’m Only Sleeping, this goes down in the books as the greatest thing they’ve ever done.
Born in the wrong era....or maybe I was a groupie/hippie in a past life. The Beatles make everything better. EVERYTHING.
IMHO , one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written . 😢❤
I just love him. Abbey Road is such a brilliant album.
Oct. 2019...50 year re-release of Abbey Road album....went straight to # 1 in the UK. Young kids, pre-teens, teens, young adults and "Millenials" are all well aware of and listen to The Beatles. My grandkids demand I play The Beatles when driving in the car. Like Davinci, Michelangelo, The Bard, Et. Al., John, Paul, George and Ringo will go on and on and on. They were a miracle that we boomers got to live through and appreciate first hand. I was ten years old in 1963... I grow to appreciate them more and more the older I get.
Thank you Lads!
My grandson Christian passed last month 21yrs old ( covid) I played wings band on the run off TH-cam so he could hear it he was comatose on a ventilator I sang to this song and others knowing how much he loved wings/ Paul McCartney it was the hardest thing I've ever experienced
And in the End the Love you take is equal to the Love you make. ❤
Wundervoll!
"A Day In The Life" is my fave Beatles song, BUT "Abbey Road" is my fave album. I think they should have saved these 3 for their last album, even tho sadly "Let It Be" was all recorded separately...not as a quartet. 61 years later & the Beatles are STILL #1 in ALL music history. They will never die.
Let It Be wasn't all recorded seperately at all - you should watch the Peter Jackson documentary
This man has given so much pleasure to millions of people all over the world !!!
He deserved being assisted by other music genius. But he'll stay forever in the Pantheon.
God bless you Sir Paul !
Billions ☺️❤
I get goosebumps listening this this classic. Great arrangement with TONS of talent on that stage.
I have them rn!!! This song speaks to you
Как же я люблю эту композицию! Душа улетает вверх и радуется !!!
