Happy Birthday Paul McCartney born on June 18, 1942. He is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and record and film producer who gained worldwide fame as co-lead vocalist and bassist for The Beatles. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney
...my brother and I up in Vermont skiing.. then, late at night at a local pizza and sub shop '14 years old or so we kept a sweetheart waitress entertained with more and more quarters purchasing THIS one too!...(but a lovesong on the radio at the time by The Bells!)
Dr.Robert is right. This video is corny, like alot of those 70's do-it-yourself videos, but for some reason I dig them way more than the post 1980 stuff. Denny Laine looks like hes been dipping into Pauls stash, and Linda does too....plus I like how Linda acts like shes "all about" the keyboards, when you know in the studio, Paul was like, "Look love, I'll take it from here...just bring me some grass and look pretty onstage."
Somebody much older and wiser than me must explain all the hate for Post- Beatles Paul McCartney. People like to diss him for not making songs with an enormous meaning behind it (Such as John Lennon, my favorite songwriter of all time), but the dude could write a hell of a song, regardless of its meaning (Or lack thereof).
Linda was SO talented. And Paul was SO codependent of her. But i will say he was a great songwriter and musician. But no better than the other 2 Beatles John and George. As was proof of their solo careers. I was sorry to see how he was ripped off by his last "love". Money he well earned without her help.
@djminimoto Linda's vocals in the bootleg from Wings "76 are something else. Live and Let Die.. "You know' you did you know you did.." were played over and over on L.A. radio until Sir Paul put a stop to it
not even the Jonas brothers lol. I think John and Paul were capable as individuals, all the Beatles were, but together they were greater than the sum of thier parts. RIP Geprge and John.
@proteus244 Joe English did not play drums on Band on the run. Paul played drums. Denny Seiwell who left the band before Paul,Denny and Linda went to Lagos to record Band on the Run said Paul must have liked his drumming (from rehearsals) because he copied it for the album. Joe english didn't show up until after Geoff Britin left
Yes, that's true, but I'm surprised that there is any video of this song available. I believe this was first single released from the Band on the Run album in the states.
I've been a Beatles fan for a good 12 years+ and know alot about the sound and the writing styles,no expert,but have a good idea of what's good and what's not so good, and it's not based on whether it's a John song or a Paul song. I've had trouble deciding if I had to pick,which one do I prefer as far as style?If I had to choose one or the other,well Paul to me is the one with the most talent,but I hate to make that choice cos I think I like more John songs,doh! But Paul songs make me happier =)
Are you kidding me? Paul was the true musical genius in the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, John is absolutely a legend. But John helping Paul with lyrics? "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye"? Sounds like poetry written by a 14 year old who read one too many Ginsberg poems.
Her dad was Eastman Kodak, she was not a musician as far as I know. They did great stuff. Wings over America was a great album, McCartney, red rose speedway, there is more I can’t recall
I never even rated her as a photographer. I mean when you can afford the finest Nikons and lenses, with her connections, a photo of a cow pat covered with those orange shit flies would be regarded as a masterpiece.
The McCartney kids are at the family ranch anxiously awaiting news of their mother. Paul emerges from his wife's bedroom "Kid's.... there's good news and bad news." "The bad news is your mother's strength and will to live has been sucked away by her awful disease and she died a few moments ago" "The good news is.... It's steak and chips for dinner!"
I always thought Linda and Yoko both got a bad rap ("breaking up the Beatles" and all that shit). Were John and Paul (and George and Ringo, for that matter) supposed to remain adolescents forever? No matter who they married, disgruntled Beatles fans would have objected.
Linda McCartney so talented??? Having seen her trying to sing and play keyboards, you're taking the piss, right? Maybe she was good at rolling joints and cooking lentil casseroles.
@leegeddyfan Granted....Chris Squire could BURY Paul on playing the bass. But Paul just has "that" cool Rock Star LOOK to him when he's playing that thing!! It's a visual thing.......not a talent thing!

This song and band were so 1973 and of their time and yet timeless and still sound great today.
always loved this song
Wings was one of the bands that I wanted to see play live
This song blew my mind the first time I heard it.
Happy heavenly 80th birthday to linda.xxx
I never understand those that think Lennon had the best post-Beatle stuff. Cause Macca kicked ASS.

Ahh, the glory days for Paul & Linda of the mid-Seventies...They were so happy then...Has it REALLY been 35 years ?!?
No it's been 48
@@cyberthug62 this comment is old lol
Great song, this was definitely Paul at his very peak after the Beatles breakup
My theme song! Woot! I haven't heard this in decades!
Your personal anthem, Helen ?
Paul is perfect
I'm personally not a big Paul McCartney/Wings fan but I've always liked this song alot.
I definitely agree that this could've easily been a Joe Walsh tune, this song seriously kicks ass
Fun stuff, one of his rockin'er ones. Thanks for posting!
...my brother and I up in Vermont skiing.. then, late at night at a local pizza and sub shop '14 years old or so we kept a sweetheart waitress entertained with more and more quarters purchasing THIS one too!...(but a lovesong on the radio at the time by The Bells!)
and that is why they were such a good combo.
not a single a group has been like them.
even the jonas brothers...yaks!
Denny Lane is the greatest guy, but that has to qualify for the dorkiest mustache in rock and roll history
Denny and Linda at 1:39....
So baked. 😁

Holy '70s Batman! Nice lapels, Paul! :-)

I loved to dance to this record at the disco
best. songwriter. ever.
love this song
christmas 1973 single peaks at 12 in UK..no.5 cashbox and 10 billboard in January 1974
Linda was SO talented. And Paul was SO codependent of her. But i will say he was a great songwriter and musician. But no better than the other 2 Beatles John and George.

The after mass of a beatles breakup produced song great songs, and this is one of them
@djminimoto Linda's vocals in the bootleg from Wings "76 are something else. Live and Let Die.. "You know' you did you know you did.." were played over and over on L.A. radio until Sir Paul put a stop to it
Best
Paul's glam rock song!:)
NOTHING...I mean....NOTHING.....looked cooler than Paul McCartney holding that GORGEOUS looking Rickenbacker 4001 bass!!
this song has always reminded me of another Wings song: Medicine Jar and like that one, this is one of their better songs...
The name he gave to a Land Rover he owned, apparently
not even the Jonas brothers lol. I think John and Paul were capable as individuals, all the Beatles were, but together they were greater than the sum of thier parts. RIP Geprge and John.

for sure
B side to Country Dreamer which has a frickin CRACKIN intro, I learned to play it and everything. Just couldn't play the rest.........
Did you that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings??
🤟🤟🤟❤️❤️❤️
Paul looks so hot when playing the drums x3
This road song is also about his first Land Rover
this is great
Great song and video. Anybody else experience the sound going in and out on this though? Maybe it's just my speakers.
Ridiculous clip, but what a beautiful bass. Great song too!
actual video from 1973
Ooh, nice! I only have the old version without the special effects.
I believe the American version of the Band On The Run album is better because it has this song on it. The official BotR didn't feature Helen Wheels.
Directed by..........Michael Lindsay-Hogg
I thought this song was saying Oh, Yellow Wheels...the mind of a small child! lol What can I say, I was eight?
Paul

There is true love xx
Paul's had a lot of great songs but sorry to say this one bites.
@JRGrange25 rockin it hard!!!
liverpool - where they play the west coast sound
yeah i know .. where've you been ? lol .. i commented time ago !! .. hope you're ok ! love and peaces .
@fifiesponja07 yeah!!!!
Are you kidding me? Paul was the true musical genius in the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, John is absolutely a legend. But John helping Paul with lyrics? "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye"? Sounds like poetry written by a 14 year old who read one too many Ginsberg poems.
I never quite got what was the deal with McCartney and Lennon both putting the missus in the act.
Joe English played drums on Band on the Run
why does it sound like this was recorded off a vinyl with the speed set just a tad too fast?
I had read quite some time ago that Paul wanted her in the band & wanted her to play keyboards. She was a bit intimidated to do so.
Her dad was Eastman Kodak, she was not a musician as far as I know. They did great stuff. Wings over America was a great album, McCartney, red rose speedway, there is more I can’t recall
I never even rated her as a photographer. I mean when you can afford the finest Nikons and lenses, with her connections, a photo of a cow pat covered with those orange shit flies would be regarded as a masterpiece.
some people really don't get it. Too bad for them!!!
Only 240p.
oh ya yoko was SO talented also. she must have written all of johns music. you dont think im serious?
@jx14aby - lol......THAT is pretty funny...
1:44 Denny looking pretty high (and quite cute).
McCartney is 5ft11 if I remember my trivia well.
The McCartney kids are at the family ranch anxiously awaiting news of their mother. Paul emerges from his wife's bedroom "Kid's.... there's good news and bad news."
"The bad news is your mother's strength and will to live has been sucked away by her awful disease and she died a few moments ago"
"The good news is.... It's steak and chips for dinner!"
This video is so corny, but I love it!!!
Whatever happened between Denny and Paul?
Self indulgent crap this! if i were Denny Laine i'd have stuck two fingers up to this.
@mollehhhx Paul McCartney reading the phonebook turns me on.....
So, d'you reckon that would be too much baccy, or too much weed?
@rich655 Maybe Getty Lee?
Not now, no. But there's an awful lot of people on here that really do believe it.
Sir Macca's a great lead guitarist too eh ?!!
@mollehhhx
Someone asked John if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. John said he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles. (Rumor has it.)
@mollehhhx ~ The rumor has been dispelled.
👉
@NationalistRussian The sound is a little dodgy, not too bad.
Paul went on a little too long, but Wings put out some real good music.
Didn`t Paul also play lead guitar on this tune?
When John Lennon was asked if he thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he replied "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles."
sounds like John humor
MTV on LSD.
Less than a hippopotamous and more than a gnome
I always thought Linda and Yoko both got a bad rap ("breaking up the Beatles" and all that shit). Were John and Paul (and George and Ringo, for that matter) supposed to remain adolescents forever? No matter who they married, disgruntled Beatles fans would have objected.
i didn't make sense ;-)
...but let me spell it out for you please!...(lol!/a comment removed!)
no it's not, read the lyrics
DRUGS!!!!!
what do you call a dog with wings? Linda McCartney!
@rich655 I respectfullydisagree. The coolest looking musician was Jimmy Page and his gorgeous 1959 Les Paul Standard guitar!
Linda McCartney so talented???
Having seen her trying to sing and play keyboards, you're taking the piss, right?
Maybe she was good at rolling joints and cooking lentil casseroles.
nonsense . x
Lennon and mccartney where a great duo. But paul was the better talent. Sorry, just a fact.
hey folks, whats all the crap.
Why do you want to stay away from people like me?? Sounds like a nasty comment
@leegeddyfan Granted....Chris Squire could BURY Paul on playing the bass.
But Paul just has "that" cool Rock Star LOOK to him when he's playing that thing!!
It's a visual thing.......not a talent thing!
i agree....Lennon was good but Paul was better
