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 .❤
+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?
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 ??
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...
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 🤗.
🎸🇬🇧 Hey kids!. Don't let this song die.. Forever Beatles' ❤ Breathtakingly spectacular performance by Sir Paul McCartney. Simply love it. The best part of Golden Age Music of the 60's, the 70's, and the 80's is the majority of musicians had to create their own music via instruments because auto-tune didn’t exist.
@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.
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....
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 ❤❤❤
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 ??
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.
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!
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..
It was 100% John's song, and one of his best vocals... also released well before they exploded onto the scene... One of, if not "the best" of the early stuff IMHO. George's Iconic Riff and fills were magic...
@@standrew131 In the UK it did and was their first #1... It bombed (really bombed with no media) in the US but was re-released after the Sullivan show and did well along with so many others... that's when they exploded onto the world scene. Notice it didn't make the set list on the Sullivan show that made them a world phenomenon... from a Beatles Music History Piece. "The Fab Four played three songs -- “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You” -- before taking a 35-minute break for other performers. Then they took the studio stage again to play “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” much to the delight of their screaming, swooning fans. An estimated 73 million people in the U.S. watched the show that night, establishing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as American idols'" None the less... a great one!
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.
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...
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.
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!
How many times must he have sung this song and still seems to enjoy it. Sir Paul forever! His band is fantastic, no disrespect to them but i am there to see Paul and I imagine most people are. They do a fabulous job though, what a gig that would be, playing for Sir Paul!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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 :-)
I was honored to be able to see this show twice. The second time, I took my 15 year old nephew to the show (his first-ever rock concert). The first time I saw the show, I never got out of my seat to get a drink...or use the restroom. This radio DJ saw his childhood coming back before his eyes and it felt...so...damn...good. I have such wonderful memories.
Ainda bem que alcancei essa época, BELLE EPOQUÊ foi a melhor época da humanidade essa é a verdade!! reconheço que fui um PREVILEGIADÍSSIMO, BEM TODA A HUMANIDADE!! dessa época!! LINDA, LINDA , LINDA... O que acho que nunca mais acontecerá ! acho nem mesmo na eternidade dos tempos!! sabe é inexplicável!! COMO EXPRIMIR TUDO ISSO EM PALAVRAS!! não é fácil.. ACHO QUE O MUNDO INTEIRO ERA FELIZ, E NÃO SABIA. Que acontecimento SURREAL!! foi simplesmente incrível!! indescritível!! BENDITO SEJA TUDO, DA ÉPOCA!! MUITO OBRIGADO UNIVERSO! MUITO OBRIGADO SENHOR DOS CÉUS E DA TERRA!!...
My God. These people were not even BORN when I first heard this on the radio. It still sounds as fresh and alive as it did then. But look at the audience. They are living it. Some are even crying. Maybe they wished they had been alive in that magic time.
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
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 !
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 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.
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
amazing how when all those memories come up out of the basement... u cant hold back the tears mostly its just missing mom and dad ...old friends how u had the best childhood growin up. but remembering how the world use to be. is the real tear jerker.
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.
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'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!!!
When I hear the Beatles music now on you tube, I get a strange feeling wash over me, for it brings back so many memories of a carefree time and the fact I was there as a young teenager , and from Liverpool too when the Beatles first came to prominence, what a great era to have been living in and able to enjoy it, unlike now
+Brian Jonestone - yup. Me too, Brian. This was first song I ever learned on guitar. I hear this now and I can't help but to get misty eyed; it's involuntary for me. Not only for the sentiment and memories of their wonderful songs, but for my own youth, too .. a time when things were so innocent, so happy, so full of promise. The Beatles provided the soundtrack to my life. I loved a lot of other bands and artists over the years too, but none that could ever touch me as much, and make me respond as emotionally as their songs could - and still can. I've been a professional musician all my life, and I can track the reason back to a single, cold winter Sunday night, in February of 1964. They also came to us at the perfect time - a time when we needed them the most, as a welcome and joyful diversion from the tragedy that had happened to us, just a few short months before in Dallas, in November of '63. They gave us music, but they also gave us back our smiles, too. ;)
+Brian Jonestone Oh Me too! being a 60s Gal so many Memories come flooding back,I "still" have ALL their Original Albums (Vinyl and C.Ds) I will "always" be a Great Fan of "The Beatles! I never get tired of listening to their Music,so Talented!
WOW - I am 61 and even now this song just gets you! Harder and Heavier than I had thought in the '60s - but Paul (and the rest of the Beatles) were musical genius' !
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..
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.
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

There's no substitute for happy memories. Keep them close. They help in times of need. X

I don't think any other performers make folks cry with joy. Paul has been doing it for decades.

I think he did want to do that.

Perfect. Tears welling up. I'm 77.

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?
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
Love that Mersey Beat! Still rocks the world! The harmonies on this song are incredible!
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.
I'm 72 and feel exactly the same way.
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!
bob christopher I totally agree I feel bad for people who didn’t grow up in Beatlemania, there has been nothing like it since.
bob christopher So true. It was the greatest time ever to grow up in America. I thank God every day for the amazing life I’ve had!
@@steveepperson1402 Same for the UK also.
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.:(
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 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..
Hearing this song without Johns vocals makes you realise how special his voice is to this song.
Yes John had the best rock and voice in business. He sang lead on the song.
It was 100% John's song, and one of his best vocals... also released well before they exploded onto the scene... One of, if not "the best" of the early stuff IMHO.
George's Iconic Riff and fills were magic...
@@michael52250 this song was part of the reason they exploded on to the scene
@@standrew131 In the UK it did and was their first #1... It bombed (really bombed with no media) in the US but was re-released after the Sullivan show and did well along with so many others... that's when they exploded onto the world scene. Notice it didn't make the set list on the Sullivan show that made them a world phenomenon... from a Beatles Music History Piece.
"The Fab Four played three songs -- “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You” and “She Loves You” -- before taking a 35-minute break for other performers. Then they took the studio stage again to play “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” much to the delight of their screaming, swooning fans. An estimated 73 million people in the U.S. watched the show that night, establishing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as American idols'"
None the less... a great one!
@@michael52250pppp
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.
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...
I love this song
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.
watching this in 2023 and I just get tears in my eyes
same here june 2024
I'm not crying...you are!
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!
How many times must he have sung this song and still seems to enjoy it. Sir Paul forever! His band is fantastic, no disrespect to them but i am there to see Paul and I imagine most people are. They do a fabulous job though, what a gig that would be, playing for Sir Paul!
He loves the pleasure it brings to the audience 💙
😊😊
Its 2024 and this song is wonderful.
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.
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.
The beauty of Paul McCartney; music, voice, and the “bounce”.
2023 - this song still stands the test of time as a great rock n roll tune.
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
❤ 😊 !!!
Lies
JOHN LENNON Y GEORGE HARRISON LO ESTARAN VIENDO DSD EL CIELO 2:08 😊
Beatles forever
I must have played this video a hundred times. Absolutely love it. Love the audience shots❤❤
No words could do this justice. Pure joy.
This song is perfect, it has everything, so joyful, so powerful.
One of the bast version i've ever heard.
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!
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.
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!
God I love The Beatles. No band can ever compare. Their music is timeless earning younger and younger fans even today.
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
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'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.
Absolutely Nailed It ! I still have some of their albums from 1963. I was nine years old.
take me back to 1964 ... what a wonderful time to get your DV licence, plus FM just started !!!!
brings the tears, the joy, the memories, the innocence, God Bless you Paul, Cherish the Beatles
I was honored to be able to see this show twice. The second time, I took my 15 year old nephew to the show (his first-ever rock concert). The first time I saw the show, I never got out of my seat to get a drink...or use the restroom. This radio DJ saw his childhood coming back before his eyes and it felt...so...damn...good. I have such wonderful memories.
Once Paul begins to sing, many people start to cry.
And, so do I.
Awesome
Cry and croak in pain.
That would be me.
Ainda bem que alcancei essa época, BELLE EPOQUÊ foi a melhor época da humanidade essa é a verdade!! reconheço que fui um PREVILEGIADÍSSIMO, BEM TODA A HUMANIDADE!! dessa época!! LINDA, LINDA , LINDA... O que acho que nunca mais acontecerá ! acho nem mesmo na eternidade dos tempos!! sabe é inexplicável!! COMO EXPRIMIR TUDO ISSO EM PALAVRAS!! não é fácil.. ACHO QUE O MUNDO INTEIRO ERA FELIZ, E NÃO SABIA. Que acontecimento SURREAL!! foi simplesmente incrível!! indescritível!! BENDITO SEJA TUDO, DA ÉPOCA!! MUITO OBRIGADO UNIVERSO! MUITO OBRIGADO SENHOR DOS CÉUS E DA TERRA!!...
I love, love ❤️ seeing the young people in the audience singing 🎶and dancing❗️Beatle power‼️
My God. These people were not even BORN when I first heard this on the radio. It still sounds as fresh and alive as it did then. But look at the audience. They are living it. Some are even crying. Maybe they wished they had been alive in that magic time.
It may be that it reminds them of loved one's passed.
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....
That Paul Mc Cartney magic will be here forever and beyond, unbelievable talent.
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
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
Have a nice birthday, Sir McCartney. 82 years young today, 180624.😊
That was a terrific rendition. Especially all the voices. Very rich harmony. Thumbs up.
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
oH my goodness. This is stunning. It's the Beatles with a modern sound system. Can you imagine the power with the other three.
Greatest video of all time! The GOAT!!!
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.
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
So nice to see so many smiling faces from ALL
age groups.
amazing how when all those memories come up out of the basement...
u cant hold back the tears
mostly its just missing mom and dad ...old friends
how u had the best childhood growin up.
but remembering how the world use to be.
is the real tear jerker.
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!!
One of the greatest songwriters and entertainers of all time! Thank you for the memories!
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 !!!
泣きそうになる
Forever Paul McCartney ❣️
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.
Greatest composer of all time, face it. Amazing talent.
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!!!
洋楽好きになったきっかけはビートルズ
そういうひとは日本にも数多くいますから
特にこの曲はハート掴んだ曲
忘れはしないずっと
When I hear the Beatles music now on you tube, I get a strange feeling wash over me, for it brings back so many memories of a carefree time and the fact I was there as a young teenager , and from Liverpool too when the Beatles first came to prominence, what a great era to have been living in and able to enjoy it, unlike now
Hearing this gives me a very poignant feeling, causing my eyes to mist. It defines the days of my youth, the sheer exuberance of it.
+Brian Jonestone
I'm relating to your comment Brian .... Oh Boy, Am I Just :)
+Brian Jonestone - yup. Me too, Brian. This was first song I ever learned on guitar. I hear this now and I can't help but to get misty eyed; it's involuntary for me. Not only for the sentiment and memories of their wonderful songs, but for my own youth, too .. a time when things were so innocent, so happy, so full of promise. The Beatles provided the soundtrack to my life. I loved a lot of other bands and artists over the years too, but none that could ever touch me as much, and make me respond as emotionally as their songs could - and still can. I've been a professional musician all my life, and I can track the reason back to a single, cold winter Sunday night, in February of 1964. They also came to us at the perfect time - a time when we needed them the most, as a welcome and joyful diversion from the tragedy that had happened to us, just a few short months before in Dallas, in November of '63. They gave us music, but they also gave us back our smiles, too. ;)
+Brian Jonestone
Amazing, how this and many other Beatles songs elicit the same reaction in people all over the world...
Yep
+Brian Jonestone Oh Me too! being a 60s Gal so many Memories come flooding back,I "still" have ALL their Original Albums (Vinyl and C.Ds) I will "always" be a Great Fan of "The Beatles! I never get tired of listening to their Music,so Talented!
Love this song originally and now especially its presentation here!
Word for word....omg!! I'm now 64 and I love them more than ever!!
this director is great in capturing the exciting moments in the audience, I repeat a great one!
WOW - I am 61 and even now this song just gets you! Harder and Heavier than I had thought in the '60s - but Paul (and the rest of the Beatles) were musical genius' !
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!
Timeless, priceless and never to be duplicated ever again, thank god for the RUclips archives
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
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.
