I saw The Beatles on their first Television appearance in 1963. I ran to my mum and said "Mum, there's a group called The Beatles. They'll never get anywhere with a name like that". Now I am 71, I have all their records.
You can never depend in your own judgement if your imagination is out if focus,Mark twain was right.The same happened to me as we saw the pictures in the Newsweek after Lennon's death.The facial gesture of paul's lips in the Ed sullivan show looked odd.Wait!A year later I was shocked to learn that words of love was the Beatles-a song l liked when l was 5yrs in 1969
+Stephen Glatsky I saw him for the second time some months ago, this time with my daughter, aged 17, and we were equally happy - just to add more proof to what you say.
LetzGoCrzy Then I suggest you go to a classical concert, dressed in a tuxedo or dress, just choose, and sit there passively watching and listening until the pain finally is over. You really do not know what any rock/pop concert is about, do you?
American here. I saw them on Ed Sullivan when I was 5. I know all their songs by heart still decades later and I'm crying now listening to Please, Please Me. Thanks for all the joy over the years. RIP and rest in power John and George. ❤
They were way ahead of their time, and still are in my opinion. A lot of brits don't like them, but I don't think there will ever be anything like them again. I like The Eagles, Prince, Pink Floyd and I love the rolling Stones but the Beatles were a different class.
Your not alone I’m 16 and I know the feeling even tho I’m young, I may not have been around when they were 😂 but I know the feeling you can’t describe. It’s magic that’ll never go away
@@elisaasuncion447 Don't ever refer to them as a "Boy Band", it's insulting. Singing groups that were widely referred to as boy bands from around the 1990's onwards, were nowhere near in the same league as the Beatles, that term of phrase wasn't coined in the UK until long after the Beatles had split up.
I think they cry when thinking back their young days listening to Beatles music . Last time don’t have much entertainment at home unlike now. Music and tv are the 2 great entertainment at home
The pure joy on the faces of the crowd at this concert and the other venues on this tour are all we need to know of the impact the Beatles had on the world and continue to have today 2024 .❤
You can see the absolute joy on people's faces. Most were not even born yet. And the ones that were, can't hold back the tears. For me, the Beatles were,. and still are pure magic.
I couldn't make it to this tour but after 2010. And by only watching this now, I'm crying. Had I been on this tour, I'd probably been in tears the whole concert...
if you don't know, I"ll fill you in on why those middle aged women and men are crying. Songs like this bring back so vividly what they will never experience again...their best years of life. That's what a song can do...bring you face to face with your best memories. A place you can never repeat. And that is an emotional punch in the face when the creator of that favorite song, the one who sang on the radio when you were growing up...that musician plays your life's background music right there in front of you. It's like meeting your first love again, after so many years apart. You'll never know what I'm talking about until you reach middle age and realize that your very best years are behind you.
+alanrtment porter you cannot simply just listen to songs like this and not feel the emotion of growing up with the Beatles. One song to me is poignant, Help. I remember breaking up with my girlfriend and driving somewhere and it was on the radio. To this day when I hear it, I go back to driving my "62 Ford Falcon and hearing it. God how good was it growing up listening to their songs. I've seen Paul twice, Ringo once, but wish I had seen all of them.
I am 13 years old, and it makes _me_ cry to see my mom's face whenever she listens to The Beatles' songs. It's like she's overjoyed and about to cry. My grandpa used to play it to her and she loved him very much, but he passed away a long time ago. She is one of the reasons why I love The Beatles 😊
what a great response you wrote... I get sad & misty-eyed watching these old Beatle clips, and wonder why. You hit the nail on the head! I'll be 62 in a month....
I did to. I still remember as each new album was released being in awe of their new material. I couldn't believe how they could continue to produce such magic seemingly effortlessly. I was so sad it had to end and they had to go their separate ways.
Feel quite emotional see g by whenever I hear this song. I was in Liverpool throughout the Merseybeat era saw the Beatles live a number of times. Remember queuing all night long outside the theatre all singing Beatles songs sitting with my mates on the pavement through the night with hundreds of others, waiting for the box office to open in the morning.Sustained by the hot dog stands selling hamburgers and Coca Cola . It was without a doubt the best time ever to be a teenager, the music, the clubs, clothes, everything around that time was just magic. I still live in Liverpool with my wonderful wife of fifty three years, Whom I met in one of the clubs in town and my family of eighteen. I still listen to the Beatles and other Mersebeat groups when I go for my walks around the parks of this great city. What a wonderful life I have had and I am still having.
Wasn't it also a dreary time of no money, just coming off rationing years earlier, still WW2 destruction reconstruction. Cripes they couldn't buy Fender equipment and American records a rarity, etc etc ??

I am 68 years old and I know that I am quickly approaching the end. However, I wouldn’t trade growing up in the sixties for any thing! That was the decade that brought about a seismic shift in our society - individually and collectively.
Don't rush to the end! People used to live much more years! And 300 years and more! Just in our time, the system has taught us that people do not live longer than 100 years. It's all about thinking!
@2v_5r I get what you are saying but the reality is this performance was not the Beatles. It was Paul's band with Paul singing lead, not John. Besides this song was originally a John Lennon composition (credited to Lennon-McCartney), although its ultimate form was significantly influenced by producer George Martin. Just enjoy my original post for what it is and enjoy the music and the moment, OK?
@2v_5r No, Dan is correct in the sense that it's not The Beatles who are performing this. The Beatles recorded it and it's Paul and his band who are covering it.
When John died years ago, I heard a very quiet, contrite, respectful Paul Harvey say in his news broadcast if we thought the outpouring of grief was overwhelming for John, just wait. He said the world has never seen the grief it will groan like it will for Paul.
It's impossible to describe to someone who isn't a fan and didn't grow up with The Beatles, just what it feels like to see Paul McCartney playing these songs live. It exposes something deep in our psyche...maybe a kind of early self-discovery that became a keynote throughout our lives...something confirming alongside the memories and the connections and a lifetime lived as we now face old age and mortality. There's a gratitude and a wonder. It's almost unfathomable and people find themselves crying without grasping exactly why.
It was a great time to be young and alive. I remember hearing my first Beatles song on the radio, and they became a huge part of my life after that. Very few things compare. I went from being a ten year old listening to Twist & Shout in my bedroom, to being an 18 year old soldier and listening to Get Back in Vietnam.
That's a very good explanation for non-boomers! You had to be there for Beatle-mania, and then continue growing up with them! I had a very visceral experience to seeing and hearing Paul, like seeing an old friend...
Perfectly said, David. I saw Paul in 1976 in Tucson as a 16 year old...front row against the stage barricade directly in front of Paul and Linda. That experience is for me now, manifestly reaffirming and serves as a spiritual constant that I am eternally grateful for as well. Thank you for your great observations and comment.
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 🤗.
To be honest, I teared up watching this. I remember my mom and dad taking me to the Boomer Theater in my home town of Norman, Oklahoma, to see "It's Been A Hard Days Night" back in about 1963-64. My mom and dad are both deceased now, but the memory of that night, the Fab 4, and being with my mom and dad will live in my mind forever. For all of us aging Baby Boomers, we grew up in a magical time!!!!!!
+Robert Sunderland I still tear up. I'll watch this over and over again. I remember Christmas time 1963-64 shopping with mom and dad in old San Antonio and going into Sears and listening to the car radio. I'm 64 now and still love their music. Great being a boomer and we're still fortunate that Paul has got this great band and still crankin' out great these great tunes. Fantastic.
+John Echterhoff Same memories for me John, but in East London England, at our school Christmas party. It was an exciting time to be young. Then I saw them in concert a few weeks later but couldnt really hear them for the screaming ! I,m a "Boomer" at 65 now and I still dig their music too. Little did we all realise then that Paul, Ringo ( and indeed The Stones), would still be packing out concert halls in 2016 !!! Where do the years go mate ??
If they have any sense, they will. With the way the world is going right now, we'll have either self-destructed or everyone will be listening the likes of Taylor, Cardi, Sheeran or Drake...Yikes - now that's a bleak future...
When I hear "Please Please Me" I instantly think of my youth and "Beatlemania"! Like the audience, tears well up in my eyes remembering those wonderful early days of The Beatles! What a purely innocent time it was!
Prin Pie Wow... we're just a bunch of old baby boomers talking about how much we love The Beatles... i cannot fathom how that makes us racist... I can only conclude that you don't know the meaning of the word! Go spew your vile rhetoric somewhere else and leave us to our wonderful memories of Beatle mania!
you know, i find the two ladies who were crying towards the end of the song to be so genuine and real. it always puts a smile on my face to see such a real emotion and reactions for a song written 60+ years ago....good for you 2 ladies....good for you....thanks for the video.
+Hugh Corston What Beatles fan hasn't had a boy crush on Paul. Shit, he's Paul. I've had one since I was 13 back in '76 & still going strong. And I'm married with kids.
Joshua, if you ever get the chance, do so. I saw the Beatles back in 1965, and so i can truthfully say that Paul puts on a show that not only respects the past with the Beatles, but also with Wings and as a solo. It's a great show. Even if you have to sell something to get the money, go...at least once in your life.
I was only 11 in 1963, living in a small Brazilian town, didn't speak english, but all these songs touched the botton of my heart by the radio waves 😊😊😊
Yup . So many people have no clue just how big the Beatles were ; and indeed how the social climate was in the States ; as well as the world . The Beatles came along with happy music that ; IMHO ; helped to heal (for a little while) the shock of the Kennedy assassination ; the Cold War tensions ; and some other things that I was really too young to remember !
Dear God almighty I'm so pleased I was born 1953 to witness the groups from England tamba motown punk and pop rock and rock from my generation how gifted was I thank you ❤❤❤
This clip just shows how big and influencial the Beatles were…every time Macca plays one of their songs, you see people dancing, singing, crying, whatever their age maybe. That the sign of true legends
@@TJ_USA I am from Argentina ... and the truth is that the English were born to make music .... a pity that it is no longer ... so ... or there are very few .... in Argentina there is very good rock ... with a lot of prestige won in Latin America ... but there are also very few good rock bands ... and the beatles are the biggest in history ..
Sometimes It's impossible to describe to someone who never been witness The Beatles, but Paul McCartney playing it live. You've to be thankful that he still with us.
I have around 3500 singles and albums BUT this was my very first record that I ever bought when I was 8 years old in 1964! I totally understand the emotion of people watching Paul McCartney sing this song live. I get choked up watching it too.
Totally agree. The peak of their "beat" music imo was "I wanna hold your hand" after that I dont think there was a pattern to their music,they tried many things (and as history shows) were successful with everything. 1963 was the best tho.........imo
Grandfathers, babes in arms, original fans, teenagers, people laughing, crying, rocking, singing and dancing. People of all ages, colours and creeds and orientations rockin’ their butts off. And on stage ? A 78 year old great grandad ! Music is truly the international language.
They practiced to reproduce carefully. Those high vocals by the younger guys are very satisfying. The audience got their money's worth, and you see the pleasure. In that one song, they resurrected the Beatles for just 2 glorious minutes..
I have to agree with most people on here. I'm blessed to have grown up with Paul. McCartney and the Beatles. I truly loved them all but Paul had a different spark. He always will..
From a decade where all music was uplifting like this and cheerful, but today it brings tears of joy of those wonderful days now long gone, we never had it so good.
Never understood why “Please please me” did not reach #1 in the charts during the early Beatles. It has so much drive and exuberance, nothing could compare.
I got to see the Beatles in 1965 at the Atlanta Stadium. Paul McCartney has always put on a stellar performance. I look at the faces of many of the people and they are crying because a bit of there past is right in front of them and it is great.
I never get tired of listening to Paul. He brings his fans so much happiness. And he is just one very loving man. He's got it all together. Long live Paul McCartney!
@@Dana-wq5tp That is a bit harsh! You and others could never understand or comprehend the madness faced, and pressures the Beatles were under, when touring - no other band in history had to cope and manage the issues the Beatles had to face when on tour. It became too much, so John and George wanted out.
@@dannyvine3605 Which Paul eventually agreed with. But as far as being the incurable showman, he always had that in him and it was much stronger than John or George. He was definitely the last one in the group to finally admit that the touring was killing them both artistically and physically.
One of McCartney's finest moments - reaching peoples' heart where few others can. Oh! get that music behind me, it is too much to bear for us old-timers who once knew happy times in an uncomplicated world.
Wow, the first time I heard this track was early 1963 on a Sunday night listening to the top 20 on radio Luxembourg on my little transistor radio which was fading in and out. It blew my socks off, it still does. The Please Please me album is still my favourite album. How lucky was I to see them live at Birmingham Hippodrome later in that year.
I am so glad that Paul does so many Beatle songs in his concerts. We all know how incredible they all were as solo artists but I'm sure he realized that he is the only one that can bring the Beatles back to us in concert .He is very special to do that especially for us babyboomers.
The women in the audience are crying because of the happy memories the Beatles gave them in the 60s, and they are remembering those times singing along to Paul today, they are teens all over again, your teens are the best days of your life, but when you had the Beatles in your teens is was the greatest it could get, i am a man and even i cried watching this and remembering those happy days, oh to be a teen in the 60s YEH YEH YEH .
@Bud Weiser The kids today have Rap music, music i would want to cut my throat after listening to, we had the Beatles who made us smile & cry with their music, it touched the heart.
I have loved the Beatles since I was 7 years of age and Paul was always my favourite, I just love the guy. I went to see him in Hyde Park several years back and when he started to sing some of the old Beatle songs I was just so choked up and was crying, then I looked across to my boyfriend and saw he was also crying. One of the best days of my life!
I'm 65 now and i don't know why i'm crying when i'm listng this song...:-( All my young years (Ed Sullivan, started to play bass in a few groups, the girls coming just to watch my Hofner ;-)...all those memories came back with that beautiful melody...:-) Thanks to the Beatles and Paul :-)
You really have to see McCartney do this live and hear the mix blasting out to experience the chills you feel by watching him and his band do this song.
Jack Spratt You are absolutely correct on that! I saw Paul sing this song live in San Jose, CA. years ago and the crowd went crazy!!!! I think it was one of his encore songs and it might have been my favorite of the night. I just wish some of the other songs that he featured that night were as magical as this one.
I've watched this 7 times now. Yeah teared up... Because the crowd is so in to it... All ages! I was fortunate to be a teen in the late 60s when their music defined a generation.... And here we are 50+ years later still loving their music!!!
I don't think a lot of the younger people realize what they are witnessing. One of the greatest ever. John and Paul will always be the top 2. Untouchables
Good God! That song STILL thrills, doesn't it? And it still stirs up an emotional response, though whereas people shed tears initially because they knew they were witnessing something that not only was great but was something new, something that had never happened before, now we get emotional because it reminds of just how great it really was and how well it has stood the test of time. Add to that the awareness that we are witnessing the final years of that phenomenon, bringing to mind and fulling the heart with the knowledge that life is transient, that all things must pass and that we are here today...
The beautiful reaction from the audience, the tears of joy! I had the great pleasure of seeing Paul and his band in concert in Adelaide last year on his Got Back tour. When he played "Love Me Do" the tears started running for me and then when he played "Something" playing a ukulele George had given him the tears flowed even more. Paul is a very special person and a brilliant musician.
This song is 60 years old and is still better than anything on pop radio today.
ok
Amen! No one will ever beat the Beatles
Oh dear
u right
McCartney should be U N President..his music alone is better than any political B.S.and would get better results
In 2024 and at 75 years old, I can't imagine what rock n' roll would be without Paul McCartney and this great band
You mean wings?
At 82 in 2024, I remember the Beatles arriving in New York City as if it were Yesterday.
Men and women just standing there crying. The Beatles music means so much to so many.
Sie singen mit Paul.

I think they cry when thinking back their young days listening to Beatles music . Last time don’t have much entertainment at home unlike now. Music and tv are the 2 great entertainment at home
I cried several times throughout the evening when I saw Paul in Nashville a few years back.
Enter seen Elvis?
I wonder if Paul ever thought he'd still be singing these songs 60 years in the future. I'm happy he is.🥰
I think he did want to do that.

Just enjoy my original post for what it is and enjoy the music and the moment, OK?
@2v_5r No, Dan is correct in the sense that it's not The Beatles who are performing this. The Beatles recorded it and it's Paul and his band who are covering it.
100% agree with you! And they truly were a miracle - have said this myself many times!
When John died years ago, I heard a very quiet, contrite, respectful Paul Harvey say in his news broadcast if we thought the outpouring of grief was overwhelming for John, just wait. He said the world has never seen the grief it will groan like it will for Paul.
@@countrysister700 ese comentario fue muy fuerte se me llenaron de lagrimas los ojos No quisiera ni pensar en eso Amo a Paul naci en epoca equivocada
It's impossible to describe to someone who isn't a fan and didn't grow up with The Beatles, just what it feels like to see Paul McCartney playing these songs live. It exposes something deep in our psyche...maybe a kind of early self-discovery that became a keynote throughout our lives...something confirming alongside the memories and the connections and a lifetime lived as we now face old age and mortality. There's a gratitude and a wonder. It's almost unfathomable and people find themselves crying without grasping exactly why.
It was a great time to be young and alive. I remember hearing my first Beatles song on the radio, and they became a huge part of my life after that. Very few things compare.
I went from being a ten year old listening to Twist & Shout in my bedroom, to being an 18 year old soldier and listening to Get Back in Vietnam.
That's a very good explanation for non-boomers! You had to be there for Beatle-mania, and then continue growing up with them! I had a very visceral experience to seeing and hearing Paul, like seeing an old friend...
Perfectly said, David. I saw Paul in 1976 in Tucson as a 16 year old...front row against the stage barricade directly in front of Paul and Linda. That experience is for me now, manifestly reaffirming and serves as a spiritual constant that I am eternally grateful for as well. Thank you for your great observations and comment.
Very well put and a thoughtful post at that. I believe all you state is spot on.
David Sumeray I agree. I wasent alive when The Beatles were around but I'm a die hard fan. I've seen Paul live twice and both times I cried
I’m 70 years old. I remind that song, it’s amazing. Beatles for ever ❤️
Monica, me too.
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 🤗.
I’m 72 years of age now - 59 years I’m still a fan of The Beatles music - I hear this and I want to get up and shake my bootie !! 🎉 😊
Watching some of the crowd with tears in their eyes, just makes you realize how wonderful this song is. Brilliantly performed and moving to watch. 👏
Absolutely. Everyone remember where they were when...
@brianking7438 especially the woman who really showed her emotions at 1:52.
and how many of us sitting at home, watching this, also through a sudden eruption of tears.@@markhampton6346
❤❤❤
To be honest, I teared up watching this. I remember my mom and dad taking me to the Boomer Theater in my home town of Norman, Oklahoma, to see "It's Been A Hard Days Night" back in about 1963-64. My mom and dad are both deceased now, but the memory of that night, the Fab 4, and being with my mom and dad will live in my mind forever. For all of us aging Baby Boomers, we grew up in a magical time!!!!!!
+Robert Sunderland proper music
+Robert Sunderland I still tear up. I'll watch this over and over again. I remember Christmas time 1963-64 shopping with mom and dad in old San Antonio and going into Sears and listening to the car radio. I'm 64 now and still love their music. Great being a boomer and we're still fortunate that Paul has got this great band and still crankin' out great these great tunes. Fantastic.
+John Echterhoff Same memories for me John, but in East London England, at our school Christmas party. It was an exciting time to be young. Then I saw them in concert a few weeks later but couldnt really hear them for the screaming ! I,m a "Boomer" at 65 now and I still dig their music too. Little did we all realise then that Paul, Ringo ( and indeed The Stones), would still be packing out concert halls in 2016 !!! Where do the years go mate ??
ure a good man Robert
Oh God, Robert. DIDN'T WE?
300 years from now people will STILL be jamming to The Beatles...Their music will live forever!!!
If they have any sense, they will. With the way the world is going right now, we'll have either self-destructed or everyone will be listening the likes of Taylor, Cardi, Sheeran or Drake...Yikes - now that's a bleak future...
It is so great to have Paul keeping the Beatles music alive. ❤A shout out to Ringo ❤John and George would be proud 🎶
These songs can make a person get emotional, they just send you back to a better place in time.
Tears of 😹 joy
@@martinlynch599 Tears of a much more carefree time
@@georgeanderson2940 Yes, and a time lost forever.:(
I love this song
When I hear "Please Please Me" I instantly think of my youth and "Beatlemania"! Like the audience, tears well up in my eyes remembering those wonderful early days of The Beatles! What a purely innocent time it was!
That girl at 1:46, singing while crying describes the magic of beatles music, which resonates with different generations.
You got it in one.
They made me cry, all the people enjoying, my skin bristles when I see.
How about Mom right after her..
I was at this show, magic doesn't begin to describe what it's like seeing McCartney live...
@@esbeidyvilla2315 Yes, joy can be very infectious.
I also start crying after see her... OMG!
It makes me cry, and I can't really explain it, just good memories from a simpler time I guess!
Same here. I can't explain it either.
Same. Driving to school and singing these songs way back when.
Same here .. It's that spirit of old simple time .. everything was more beautiful then
Prin Pie Wow... we're just a bunch of old baby boomers talking about how much we love The Beatles... i cannot fathom how that makes us racist... I can only conclude that you don't know the meaning of the word! Go spew your vile rhetoric somewhere else and leave us to our wonderful memories of Beatle mania!
Yeah.The blacks just won't quit.
you know, i find the two ladies who were crying towards the end of the song to be so genuine and real. it always puts a smile on my face to see such a real emotion and reactions for a song written 60+ years ago....good for you 2 ladies....good for you....thanks for the video.
Only one who was a teenager in the 60s, growing up with Beatles songs, can know this emotion - which comes on quite unexpectedly and without warning.
For two hours she was a little girl again. This music is the closest thing we will get to a time machine!
Love that Mersey Beat! Still rocks the world! The harmonies on this song are incredible!
I would give anything to see Paul play live.
Same here my man.
i've seen and it was worth of...!!
+Hugh Corston What Beatles fan hasn't had a boy crush on Paul. Shit, he's Paul. I've had one since I was 13 back in '76 & still going strong. And I'm married with kids.
Joshua, if you ever get the chance, do so. I saw the Beatles back in 1965, and so i can truthfully say that Paul puts on a show that not only respects the past with the Beatles, but also with Wings and as a solo. It's a great show. Even if you have to sell something to get the money, go...at least once in your life.
joshua serafini I did
we are so blessed for this kind of songs. we will never hear anything like this ever again! thank you, 60s 70s 80s AND 90s
I was only 11 in 1963, living in a small Brazilian town, didn't speak english, but all these songs touched the botton of my heart by the radio waves 😊😊😊
God I love The Beatles. No band can ever compare. Their music is timeless earning younger and younger fans even today.
It makes you cry because of so many memories growing up.
Yup . So many people have no clue just how big the Beatles were ; and indeed how the social climate was in the States ; as well as the world . The Beatles came along with happy music that ; IMHO ; helped to heal (for a little while) the shock of the Kennedy assassination ; the Cold War tensions ; and some other things that I was really too young to remember !
it's a fantastically happy tune
Once Paul begins to sing, many people start to cry.
And, so do I.
Awesome
Cry and croak in pain.
That would be me.
Dear God almighty I'm so pleased I was born 1953 to witness the groups from England tamba motown punk and pop rock and rock from my generation how gifted was I thank you ❤❤❤
This clip just shows how big and influencial the Beatles were…every time Macca plays one of their songs, you see people dancing, singing, crying, whatever their age maybe. That the sign of true legends
oH my goodness. This is stunning. It's the Beatles with a modern sound system. Can you imagine the power with the other three.
George Martin - "Boys, you have your first number one hit."
Yes....😎
@@jorgedj3910 Once they had it down they knew they had made history.
@@TJ_USA I am from Argentina ... and the truth is that the English were born to make music .... a pity that it is no longer ... so ... or there are very few .... in Argentina there is very good rock ... with a lot of prestige won in Latin America ... but there are also very few good rock bands ... and the beatles are the biggest in history ..
It didn't officially reach number one in the UK charts, there is a bit of a story behind why.
@@GeeCeeWU oh why?
Have a nice birthday, Sir McCartney. 82 years young today, 180624.😊
Thanks to paul to keep Beatles music alive
So nice to see so many smiling faces from ALL
age groups.
Sometimes It's impossible to describe to someone who never been witness The Beatles, but Paul McCartney playing it live. You've to be thankful that he still with us.
The broke the mold, when the Beatles, were born, no other band will ever compare! Thx for all the memories LADS 🎸
When you hear that opening few seconds of guitar work, you hear why the Beatles woke everyone up and completely changed the music world! Fantastic.
I love Paul doing John's songs. A touching tribute to his old friend.
DJ Alex Xavier Shut up. Anyone who says that is beyond stupid.
To be fair, they both wrote it.
DJ Alex Xavier conspiration teory
more a John song nonetheless
Brett Stanton
Dude, shut up.
Greatest composer of all time, face it. Amazing talent.
One of the bast version i've ever heard.
This song is perfect, it has everything, so joyful, so powerful.
I have around 3500 singles and albums BUT this was my very first record that I ever bought when I was 8 years old in 1964! I totally understand the emotion of people watching Paul McCartney sing this song live. I get choked up watching it too.
Beautiful
The early Beatles songs had timeless charm and are of unrivalled quality
Totally agree. The peak of their "beat" music imo was "I wanna hold your hand" after that I dont think there was a pattern to their music,they tried many things (and as history shows) were successful with everything.
1963 was the best tho.........imo
Spot on.
@@dw69ful Precisely, they were very versatile and evolved with their music, but how could you not like their Sergeant Pepper album?
Like Levis, always works.
The Beatles entire catalog has timeless charm and unrivaled quality, but yeah, those early ones....
Grandfathers, babes in arms, original fans, teenagers, people laughing, crying, rocking, singing and dancing.
People of all ages, colours and creeds and orientations rockin’ their butts off.
And on stage ? A 78 year old great grandad !
Music is truly the international language.
They practiced to reproduce carefully. Those high vocals by the younger guys are very satisfying. The audience got their money's worth, and you see the pleasure. In that one song, they resurrected the Beatles for just 2 glorious minutes..
Jolly Good
I have to agree with most people on here. I'm blessed to have grown up with Paul. McCartney and the Beatles. I truly loved them all but Paul had a different spark. He always will..
brings the tears, the joy, the memories, the innocence, God Bless you Paul, Cherish the Beatles
I'm not born in 1960's, 70's and 80's. but i can't explain why i'm crying when paul played the beatles songs.
A celebration of love, life and music.
From a decade where all music was uplifting like this and cheerful, but today it brings tears of joy of those wonderful days now long gone, we never had it so good.
Never understood why “Please please me” did not reach #1 in the charts during the early Beatles. It has so much drive and exuberance, nothing could compare.
It did in most of the music charts at the time.
It was to be a song appreciated for its beauty and simplicity in yet another age!
Maybe because of the controversy of the lyrics -Taboo in the early 60s for sure
I love it at the end when the camera picks up the fans crying. The song brings back many memories for all.
So it wasn't just young females who cried at Beatles concerts, now it's their parents too!
@@yootoober2009 I'm a 67 year male and I'm tearing up!
They definitely nailed that one!
I must have played this video a hundred times. Absolutely love it. Love the audience shots❤❤
I got to see the Beatles in 1965 at the Atlanta Stadium. Paul McCartney has always put on a stellar performance. I look at the faces of many of the people and they are crying because a bit of there past is right in front of them and it is great.
I never get tired of listening to Paul. He brings his fans so much happiness. And he is just one very loving man. He's got it all together. Long live Paul McCartney!
And that's what John and George could never understand. Paul loved playing live and making people happy and to this day, still does.
@@Dana-wq5tp That is a bit harsh! You and others could never understand or comprehend the madness faced, and pressures the Beatles were under, when touring - no other band in history had to cope and manage the issues the Beatles had to face when on tour. It became too much, so John and George wanted out.
@@dannyvine3605 Which Paul eventually agreed with. But as far as being the incurable showman, he always had that in him and it was much stronger than John or George. He was definitely the last one in the group to finally admit that the touring was killing them both artistically and physically.
How I still miss John's voice and Ringo's drumming!
Great seeing Paul play John's songs.
One of McCartney's finest moments - reaching peoples' heart where few others can. Oh! get that music behind me, it is too much to bear for us old-timers who once knew happy times in an uncomplicated world.
Agreed!🥰
Uncomplicated only because we were young.
Sir Paul has performed in front of the grandmother,mother and granddaughter at many concerts.
Paul still inspires Beatlemania just by himself. He also just makes people happy. What an incredible life.
Wow, the first time I heard this track was early 1963 on a Sunday night listening to the top 20 on radio Luxembourg on my little transistor radio which was fading in and out. It blew my socks off, it still does. The Please Please me album is still my favourite album. How lucky was I to see them live at Birmingham Hippodrome later in that year.
I am so glad that Paul does so many Beatle songs in his concerts. We all know how incredible they all were as solo artists but I'm sure he realized that he is the only one that can bring the Beatles back to us in concert .He is very special to do that especially for us babyboomers.
The women in the audience are crying because of the happy memories the Beatles gave them in the 60s, and they are remembering those times singing along to Paul today, they are teens all over again, your teens are the best days of your life, but when you had the Beatles in your teens is was the greatest it could get, i am a man and even i cried watching this and remembering those happy days, oh to be a teen in the 60s YEH YEH YEH .
@Bud Weiser The kids today have Rap music, music i would want to cut my throat after listening to, we had the Beatles who made us smile & cry with their music, it touched the heart.
I have loved the Beatles since I was 7 years of age and Paul was always my favourite, I just love the guy. I went to see him in Hyde Park several years back and when he started to sing some of the old Beatle songs I was just so choked up and was crying, then I looked across to my boyfriend and saw he was also crying. One of the best days of my life!
sweet
Beautiful song...John just nailed it.. very catchy.. I danced to it a number of times...enthralling!
A wonderful version of the original, thanks Paul and the team up there. In tears.
Those driving guitars from Rusty & Brian really add another dimension to the song!!
I'm 65 now and i don't know why i'm crying when i'm listng this song...:-( All my young years (Ed Sullivan, started to play bass in a few groups, the girls coming just to watch my Hofner ;-)...all those memories came back with that beautiful melody...:-) Thanks to the Beatles and Paul :-)
LOL, I'm 63 got choked up also, "Memories"..
I am 61 and also cried...I had low expectations for this version, but wow, they so knocked it out of the park
You call yours a Hofner ?
70 and i'm more than choked up. glad my wife and kid are in the living room.
Paul looked like 40 here, the best Beatles song ever, Imagine if John was here singing together with Paul.
John was taken from us much too early.
Are you ready for a shock? This was Fall 2005. Paul was 63 years old!
@@nuwavedave Your comment doesn't make any sense.
That's exactly what I was thinking. As good as this sounds, it needs the original quartet to have the full-bore energy and power of the Beatles.
@@queenvrook Exactly, but I will happily settle for this.
Paul is a national treasure. I'm so pleased he is still playing. This music still resonates in 2021.
You really have to see McCartney do this live and hear the mix blasting out to experience the chills you feel by watching him and his band do this song.
May have been the BEST live version of this song that I have ever heard!!!!!
Doug Celeste Slightly slower than the original I thought, still damn good though!
Jack Spratt You are absolutely correct on that! I saw Paul sing this song live in San Jose, CA. years ago and the crowd went crazy!!!! I think it was one of his encore songs and it might have been my favorite of the night. I just wish some of the other songs that he featured that night were as magical as this one.
It was (even) BETTER...than the 'original' recording.
Yep. I have played it over and over. It really hits the spot.
best rendition of this song !!!
Somehow Paul McCartney has become one of the people I admire most in the world. I just think he’s awesome
I understand what bu mean,Paul does no wrong
h assembles the best band
he has a gift
a gift from GOD as did John
n
Jesus, what a performance…the crowd reactions tell it all
I've watched this 7 times now. Yeah teared up... Because the crowd is so in to it... All ages! I was fortunate to be a teen in the late 60s when their music defined a generation.... And here we are 50+ years later still loving their music!!!
I don't think a lot of the younger people realize what they are witnessing. One of the greatest ever. John and Paul will always be the top 2. Untouchables
Good God! That song STILL thrills, doesn't it? And it still stirs up an emotional response, though whereas people shed tears initially because they knew they were witnessing something that not only was great but was something new, something that had never happened before, now we get emotional because it reminds of just how great it really was and how well it has stood the test of time. Add to that the awareness that we are witnessing the final years of that phenomenon, bringing to mind and fulling the heart with the knowledge that life is transient, that all things must pass and that we are here today...
The beautiful reaction from the audience, the tears of joy! I had the great pleasure of seeing Paul and his band in concert in Adelaide last year on his Got Back tour. When he played "Love Me Do" the tears started running for me and then when he played "Something" playing a ukulele George had given him the tears flowed even more. Paul is a very special person and a brilliant musician.
