Due to the Beatles’ short-lived touring period and a lack of technology at the time, there are few live recordings of the biggest band in rock ‘n’ roll history. However, their 1965 Shea Stadium concert was filmed for a rarely seen/heard TV special. And this dizzying spectacle was the highlight. Spoilsports usually point out that the band clearly ac...
Paul’s studio take of “Coming Up” was quirky, with an experimental, homemade feel. But its flip side, a rousing live version aided by the amphitheater bombast of Wings, completely turned into something else. Both versions have their own charms, but it’s no wonder why audiences quickly shot this intended B-side to the top of the charts. When was the...
Ever the perfectionists, the Beatles performed “Get Back” on the Apple Studios rooftop three times in a row. I’m not sure which one of those we see here in Let It Be, but what was intended to just be an interesting end to a documentary turned out to be the Beatles’ final live performance. It must have been hard to believe then, but now we can tell ...
Fans clamored for Paul to perform this Beatles classic in concert for over 30 years. He wouldn’t oblige them until his 2005 “US” tour, and although this wasn’t his first live version, it is the best on record.
There’s rumored to be at least seven different studio versions of “Soily” recorded, but this live cut remains the definitive release. Paul performs lyrics like “the cat in satin trousers says it’s oily” as if his very life depends upon it. And perhaps those lyrics are purposely nonsensical. It leaves fans with nothing to do but rock out.
It’s a little ironic that an Englishman wrote a song that perfectly expresses the spirit of American freedom, but that’s just what everyone needed to hear in the days following 9/11. Assisted by a stomping, cheering crowd of family members affected by the tragedy, first-responders, and those out to help a good cause, this simple song turned into an...
Shortly after George Harrison’s death in 2001, McCartney started to add this loving tribute to his live setlists. Singing George’s masterpiece while gently playing the instrument he loved, Paul takes an epic love song and strips it down into a touching ode to a friend.
The original Beatles version was a true Lennon/McCartney collaboration so ahead of its time that it used to be virtually impossible to recreate on stage. Fans may have been a little unsure about hearing Paul attempt a live solo version, but they didn’t expect it to be sung so tenderly. However, what really stunned the audience was how he chose to e...
In 1963, the world mostly saw the Beatles as a group instead of four individuals. Yet, if one paid close enough attention, their various personalities were starting to show. This could technically be considered his first solo performance, a Broadway ballad sung with minimal involvement from the rest of the group. It’s sweet, romantic, and unafraid ...
