@@michaeldillon1027his voice isn't shot he is able to sing his new songs in the same quality as he sings them in the studio, but he struggels with his older songs but they are the one's everyone wants to hear. I saw him in concert last year and when you are there in person it's as good of a concert as you will ever see it's a thousand zimes better than the video's you see of him singing
Ever known in Rock. Not Opera or Jazz or many other hard to sing music lol, also there is ALOT of reverb to help his voice, having said that , he has a great voice, Paul is great , what can ya say - I know many people who hate him - HE is overrated they say, fag love songs they say, well. ok what ever like who ya gonna like
I’ve always thought this. McCartney is at once the most celebrated, famous and loved rock star ever - and the most underrated. In total the post-Beatles work is probably better than what he did with The Beatles. But not nearly as appreciated.
He's like the Spielberg of music. He can do every genre, didn't really care about his "style", has been a little cheesy at times, had the most successful career ever in the business, is utterly respected by his pairs, and yet is always a bit undervalued compared to Kubrick, Fellini, Scorsese or Bowie, Lennon, Mercury for Macca. Maybe it did seem to easy for them and all these different genres they explored were a little too disconcerting for critics.
@@stephensmith1343 That's brilliant too but that's a song where the whole of it is done in a particular style. Call me back again has the complete range, from the angelic voice to the demonic. I believe he had a 5 octave range then. Simply unbelievable voice.
You're right. His bass playing is genius. I especially like the sound of the Rickenbacker that you can hear on "Wings over america". Solid sound with polyurethane muted. There is a picture on Wikipedia of Denny Rain sandwiching urethane under the bridge of the bass to make it sound like it. I imagine that even in A day in the life, Paul is using a Rickenbacker. It's sad that Paul only uses Hofner in his current live performances. In an interview for the current tour, Paul said, "The Rickenbacker is heavy, so I only play it occasionally now."
Paul was arguably the best Beatle and it was mostly because he was the impetus for their changing and evolving sound. He continued that path in his solo career. Of course, his writing and guitar playing can't be beat.
If you think he didn't sound like this during the Beatles maybe you haven't heard "Long Tall Sally", "I'm Down", "Helter Skelter", or "Get Back". You might enjoy "Beware My Love", "Live and Let Die", and of course "Maybe I'm Amazed" from the live "Wings Over America" which was the LP from this tour. Another great rocking Wings track from a much earlier live tour is "The Mess" which was the B-side to "My Love".
Yeah he can turn it on it off at will. He seems to generally reserve this voice for heavier numbers. Although this was an absolutely mammoth tour, and for other reasons which don't need spelled here on censorship tube, I suspect his voice is just hanging on before he loses it
McCartney always had that voice. The most versatile of anyone (he displayed it during The Beatles era, too.) The largest range of almost any male singer, ever. Crazy good. Watch the rest of RockShow. It’s fantastic from start to finish. And I just finished a Wings deep dive. You won’t be disappointed. He deserves much more credit for what he did with all the versions of the band. Too bad they were in the shadow of The Beatles.
I agree with you 100% I get so tired of so many people thinking Paul could only sing in a sweet silky voice, when he has so MANY "voices" and styles he could sing in, versatile is an understatement....he could sound like a different guy. He was a fantastic mimic too. "Man of a thousand voices"
@@reinacarbetta388 THANK you for replying! I hope that he will investigate MORE of Paul's music so he can realize just how versatile Paul's vocals were!
In my humble opinion Paul has one of the best vocalists in music , his rock vocal s are one of the best sounding in rock doesn’t get the appreciation for them
With all due respect, (and I do LOVE your reactions!) you have a LONG WAY TO GO before you even scratch the surface of Paul McCartney, with or without The Beatles! And that's not even addressing how much you still have to learn with The Beatles! This whole "Wings Over America" live show is just fantastic, despite not-so-great video quality! The "Wings Over America" LP is a keeper too! On The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" album, there was a Paul song called "Fool on the Hill", which showcases Paul's beautiful, melodic, "sweet" voice! But the cool thing is the song is about himself, and he refers to himself as "the man of a thousand voices". That truly is ONE of Paul's superpowers; He truly did have so many different vocal styles and tricks he used throughout his career. Don't know if you've heard it yet, but to get one of the first examples of Paul's "tough" voice, listen to the Beatles' song "Lady Madonna" For an even BIGGER dose of that, listen to their song "Helter Skelter", which is felt by many to be the prototype for "heavy metal" music.
@@MissAstorDancer Wish I could have gone. I was in my 20s in the 1980s & LOVED PM&W !! But having the Rock Show dvd released about 5 or 6 yrs ago kinda makes me feel better! Lol! How cool is it when they do Magneto & Titanium Man, & unveil those characters?! Do you know for a long time after the dvd was released, you couldn't watch that video on YT, probably marvel copyright? I think I saw it once recently, so maybe they've relaxed a bit, but maybe someone just got away with it.
@@beverlykrebs4372 OMG, YES!! "Magneto etc" is such a cool song! But then, my Goodness, this is Paul we're talking about here!!! Right??🤩😍 I first got the show on VHS when it first came out. I was around 29. I still have it!! (Yes, I still have a VCR!!!😀😄)
Paul in the Beatles was certainly not "always such a soft sweet sound" - try Oh Darling and Helter Skelter, you might be amazed all over again (not to mention Maybe I'm Amazed, break-up era). But Wings were on fire in '76, Paul was a powerhouse, and Jimmy's lead work was just gorgeous...
Shout out to who chose this song (I didn't catch the name, sorry). That's a real deep track. Loved it. Great song and great reaction. I think SlavoG is surprised with Paul's vocals here just because he didn't listen to the last Beatles albums yet (White Album, Let it Be and Abbey Road), when McCartney really rocks. Check Ram and Band on the Run too, for great solo McCartney albums, where all his sides shows up and shine.
This particular lineup of Wings truly rocked. Lead guitarist (teenage phenom) Jimmy McCullough was granted a rare degree of freedom by Paul: He was allowed to improvise the guitar intro to "Soily" each night. Seek out "Wings Over America", the live triple album of this tour. Pauls's big, booming Rickenbacker bass is mixed front and center and he puts on a two hour clinic. (No muddy little Hofner on this tour - Paul came to rock!) "Soily" is the heaviest Paul gets outside of "Helter Skelter", but if you're a fan, like me, of Paul's harder side - wow! - there is a TON on this album to enjoy. I hesitate to even list the tracks, there's so many - hell - here goes anyway: Venus and Mars/Rockshow, Let Me Roll It, Jet, Call Me Back Again, Letting Go, Beware My Love, Live and Let Die, Medicine Jar, Hi Hi Hi.) Stadium rock was all the rage in the mid-'70's and Wings delivers. (P.S. Paul only does, what, 5 or 6 Beatle tunes? This is a Wings tour.) And, yes, Paul is criminally underrated as a rock vocalist. Great "screamers?" Cobain, Lennon, Morrison, etc. Paul is typecast as a softie, but I'll gladly provide a list of his screaming to all who may be interested. "Monkberry Moon Delight" from his solo "Ram" is quite possibly his apex, although I can also point you to some very surprising tracks very late in his career as well..
Paul is blessed with one of the sweetest voices in rock history...but his rock and roll voice is by far his best. Those early Beatle rockers he sang, he just killed it.
The Beatles were early rock and roll influenced by Little Richard, Elvis, etc and evolved way beyond pop and ballads. Paul could sing the sweet songs and make the girls swoon but he could rock with the best. Always charismatic and a true showman. Love all his music. Enjoy!
This whole three sided album *Wings Over America" is fantastic. Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar and Denny Laine on rhythm guitar (and sometimes lead), Wings was: Paul, Linda and Denny and then they added brass, drums and guitarists for the live shows. Paul can rock.
When Paul was a kid, one of his inspirations was Little Richard. Paul had one of the best, most versatile voices in rock. Perhaps somewhat limited in that he came from the era before modern rock and often tended toward milder sounds. But they also did "Helter Skelter" and other songs that are commonly credited with taking rock into harder sounds. Paul liked distorted guitars and raspy vocals, right along with orchestral strings and choirs. While it was John singing lead on "Twist and Shout," you can tell the Beatles even early on had an appreciation for strained vocals.
No need to mention a song that Lennon sang as an example of that. McCartney was singing "Long Tall Sally", "I'm Down", and "Can't Buy Me Love" at that same time.
McCartney is one of the great rock vocalists and bass players. Wings Over America is one of the great live albums of the 70s. Macca at the heights of his live vocal and performance with a great band and set. Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar.
I remember slow dancing to Let Me Roll It from Paul McCartney & Wings. I so liked the guy back then I ran right out and bought the album Band On The Run. Great memories. Love all your reactions!!
@@nonrepublicrat Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Besides, I didn't say he was the best, I said he is one of the best. Reading and comprehension, that's what it's all about.
I had the great pleasure to attend the Wings Over America tour in 1976 in St. Paul. This was the closer. It is flat-out a banger, and one of Paul’s heaviest compositions. Love this song.
Wow, what a shock for me! I basically ignored Wings because I thought they were always about mellow ballads and “silly love songs”. NEVER knew they could rock like this!!!! Man, I’ve been sleeping on this!
This was a treat for me too! I grew up with The Beatles, and then as their solo careers took off, but I had never heard this song! There is a lot of really good music from Sir Paul and Wings!
Jimmy's last name is spelled "McCulloch" You were mixing up Jimmy with Paul's previous guitarist in earlier Wings Henry McCullough, so you did have the correct spelling for Henry's last name. A lot of people get the two mixed up.😊
If you want to hear more of what Paul could do when he was with the Beatles, check out why don't we do it in the road off of The White Album. Many more great songs by Paul McCartney and Wings as well.❤
Yeah, it’s a stupid good bass line and infinitely better live than on the record. The ‘76 tour was phenomenal and worth watching the film “Rock Show” to see what a live show on that tour was like. Paul 4 ever!
Paul Mccartney not only heard his idols, he spent time with them and learned directly from them. Little Richard as an example. Listen to Long Tall Sally 1962 live or She's a Woman TAKE 7, and Paul was displaying the ferocious screaming that later became more common in Rock
This is from the Denver show in June '76, the version on "Wings Over America." If you listen closely enough, you might hear me in the background. ;-) It remains the all-time favorite concert I've attended. What a rockin' tune to end a fantastic show!
The album " Wings Over America " has it all , rock , acoustic , middle of the road , couple of Beatles songs and a Moody Blues classic sung by Denny Laine. " Rock Show" is the You Tube version of the album....you will love it judging by this reaction
Paul McCartney had one of the greatest rock voices ever (including maybe the best rock scream). He could do it all; ballads, pop, blues, smooth type oldies and as you heard, rafter shaking rock. If you want to hear a bluesier type song with the same vocal intensity, check out Call Me Back Again from this same show in Seattle.
Go listen to the Beatles White album. Then you will get it…each genre covered up to that time. Also I saw this concert series May 15, 1976. Paul’s pop songs come off rougher and more of a rock sound live.
I was also at the concert in Houston at the Summit in May of 76. Fantastic concert. After that i saw him live 5 other times through the years. Best concerts ever.
That scream is part of the song, not a random audience member! And yes, Paul could really crank it up (listen to the Beatles song "Helter Skelter" - sometimes called the first heavy metal song!). Paul didn't go hard on many songs, but when they wanted to, the Beatles and Wings in particular could really rock it out. FWIW, a lot of us who usually sing quiet songs like nothing better than to rock out occasionally.
Mccartney's voice is one of the greatest. He could screech, Shread, sing sweat, rock it out and do it all in the same songs! Listen to Maybe I'm Amazed.
Have you never heard Oh Darlin’ or Helter Skelter, I saw her standing there, Birthday, and many others. Paul is a great rock singer. It’s not all Let it be.
Paul McCartney invented hard rock. Beatles White Album Helter Skelter. Also he’s always rocked and had a big voice. Listen to Long Tall Sally, I’m Down and Oh Darling, Call Me etc
Is that really Paul 😮? I cant belive it. Just thinking of year year year when I think of his style... This song is a great surprising.❤️🔥🔥 He has a lot of colours... This is a rocking one. Didnt he always enjoy Beat eaaah Pop? But this is wonderful 💘
I'm always amazed when people are surprised by how incredibly good Paul's voice is. This is the guy who sang Oh! Darling and Helter Skelter in The Beatles. He is the man of 1000 voices. Just listen to You Never Give Me Your Money, he has about 5 different vocal styles _on one song_ !! But performances like this partly contribute to why his voice hasn't lasted as well as it might have. He thrashed his vocal chords when he was younger. As a singer myself, my throat hurts when I listen to what he does live sometimes 😂 He's still the best of the best though.
Paul live is one friggin' awesome experience. I've seen him 11 times, including the tour this was from. Saw him 2022 just a few weeks before his 80th birthday. The voice is not what it was in '76 but he's still got it!
I never saw Wings in concert. But, in the early 80's their drummer Denny Seiwell did a concert at my college. Awesome! He has a discography himself worth looking into!
Sir Paul McCartney never ever lets you down. He’s 82 now and because of these gravely tone his voice has taken a hit. He’s one of the wealthiest musicians to date. He’s loved worldwide and is still touring.
Saw them 3 times in Atlanta when they recorded this. They played 7 days in a row. If I remember correctly the kid playing lead guitar was 17 years old at the time.
Saw him in Philadelphia in '76 and this was the closer that blew the roof off the place. I had a friend who was a big Zeppelin fan and wouldn't listen to Wings if you paid him. But whenever he got in my car he would ask me to play this.
You missed late 60's Paul in the Beatles. Try Oh, Darling, Helter Skelter, Birthday, I've Got a Feeling and you'll hear a very different Paul than on your other Beatles listens.
This is a very deep and underplayed Wings track. And Macca’s voice was in prime shape here! Check out a live version of the Beatles version of Long Tall Sally. Paul has had a full-on rock voice the whole time.
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY can scream sing like McCartney. Not Rodgers, Mercury, Stewart or Plant. Sure, they're all great singers. But Paul had this certain roughness and sweetness simultaneously that no one else could quite pull off.
Listen to Helter Skelter, Oh Darling plus many more from the Beatles, and Let Me Roll It, Wildlife, Helen Wheels, Live and Let Die, Jet, plus dozens more from Paul McCartney and Wings. Paul has at least a dozen voices, and can sound very different depending on what voice he chooses to use on each song.
First time watching your channel. I was 19 when I saw this concert in 1976 at The Summit in Houston, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. That was an amazing song to close the concert with. That was the first time a laser effect was used, to my knowledge, and it looked amazing you would look up and see it above your heads, moving around. The crowd went wild. It left everyone wanting more and more. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to have experienced that concert live. I now have a Blu-ray of it and watch the entire concert over and over and never get tired of it. What a great memory.
SAME FOR ME!! I saw this concert in '76 in Detroit, I was 29 years old. Last time I saw Paul in concert at THAT point, was 10 years earlier in 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio on Aug. 14 th, when I was 19. It was an AMAZING concert and I too have ROCKSHOW on DVD and watch it a LOT!! I also saw it on the movie screen when it was released to the movie theatres in 1980, my friends and I went to see it 6 times!!
I really got into Wings in the late 70's early 80's. In my view, Venus & Mars is an absolute Killer Masterpiece of an album...most certainly ranks in my top 5 of all time.
He belts on plenty of Beatles’ songs: “Long Tall Sally” “I’m Down” “Oh Darling” “Helter Skelter” “I’ve Got a Feeling” They’re not all squeaky clean ballads.

Minor chords are always u
There's a reason why he's considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time bro lol
From McCartney and Wings, you might be surprised by 'Maybe I'm Amazed', which, imho, is the greatest love song of all.
For some reason I used to think Maybe I’m Amazed was sung by Billy Joel.😂🤣😊
@@PassionGrows Not that surprising. Billy Joël has written great love songs. I used to confuse Journey and Foreigner...

McCartney can do pure rock and roll! And no fan had heard this song until this tour and the album Wings over America. And he wrote this song in 1972.
Get the live album " Wings Over America " for Sir Paul and the band being even better
Wow, what a shock for me! I basically ignored Wings because I thought they were always about mellow ballads and “silly love songs”. NEVER knew they could rock like this!!!! Man, I’ve been sleeping on this!
You should listen Venus and Mars album or some of Band on the run album and Back to the Egg too... Paul McCartney's music in 70's was amazing!!
Band on the Run is an amazing album!
Medicine Jar is my favorite Wings rocker off Venus and Mars.
@@norair1010 For me Rock Show and Letting Go
@@B.R.0101 Let's admit it. The whole album is 🔥
Jimmy McCulloch was playing the crazy lead solos. Amazing live guitarist.
This was a treat for me too! I grew up with The Beatles, and then as their solo careers took off, but I had never heard this song!
There is a lot of really good music from Sir Paul and Wings!
Same here! Who knew 🤷🏻♀️
A Paul MCCARTNEY CONCERT be ready for non stop fun. You will be exhausted. He entertains.
Oh yes Paul was rocker❤
Wings were so popular back in the 70s that almost none of the kids knew Paul for anything else (i.e. The Beatles)!
Indeed. Wings were relevant to the music scene back in the day.
Jimmy McCullough on lead guitar.
Jimmy's last name is spelled "McCulloch" You were mixing up Jimmy with Paul's previous guitarist in earlier Wings Henry McCullough, so you did have the correct spelling for Henry's last name. A lot of people get the two mixed up.😊
Jim was exceptional. RIP.
If you want to hear more of what Paul could do when he was with the Beatles, check out why don't we do it in the road off of The White Album. Many more great songs by Paul McCartney and Wings as well.❤
The last song of the first show I ever went to.., I was just going into 8th grade and pretty much sat with my jaw dropped the whole time - heck yeah!
Yeah, it’s a stupid good bass line and infinitely better live than on the record. The ‘76 tour was phenomenal and worth watching the film “Rock Show” to see what a live show on that tour was like. Paul 4 ever!
Paul Mccartney not only heard his idols, he spent time with them and learned directly from them. Little Richard as an example. Listen to Long Tall Sally 1962 live or She's a Woman TAKE 7, and Paul was displaying the ferocious screaming that later became more common in Rock
Yes I saw this tour as a teen. One of many memorable 70's classic dinosaur acts that I took for granted at the time... Lol.
The dude is just incredible! Tons of great tunes! Hit after hit
This is from the Denver show in June '76, the version on "Wings Over America." If you listen closely enough, you might hear me in the background. ;-) It remains the all-time favorite concert I've attended. What a rockin' tune to end a fantastic show!
The album " Wings Over America " has it all , rock , acoustic , middle of the road , couple of Beatles songs and a Moody Blues classic sung by Denny Laine. " Rock Show" is the You Tube version of the album....you will love it judging by this reaction
Paul McCartney had one of the greatest rock voices ever (including maybe the best rock scream). He could do it all; ballads, pop, blues, smooth type oldies and as you heard, rafter shaking rock.
If you want to hear a bluesier type song with the same vocal intensity, check out Call Me Back Again from this same show in Seattle.
Frickin luv Wings...Paul McCartney is a beast!
Ladies and gentlemen Paul McCartney has left the building.
As fan since rhe beginning, I have to say, your face and reaction to Paul is the most awesome I have ever witnessed!!! Welcome to the group!!!!
Go listen to the Beatles White album. Then you will get it…each genre covered up to that time. Also I saw this concert series May 15, 1976. Paul’s pop songs come off rougher and more of a rock sound live.
I'm so jealous!!!
This is the same man that made Helter Skelter. Yeah, boy can rock when he wants to.
Denny Laine on the double neck
Jimmy McCulloch on lead
RIP Jimmy
Another reason for Wings to be inducted into the RHOF.
Saw Paul and Linda in 93 and he blew me away, still at the height of his powers.
I was also at the concert in Houston at the Summit in May of 76. Fantastic concert. After that i saw him live 5 other times through the years. Best concerts ever.
That scream is part of the song, not a random audience member! And yes, Paul could really crank it up (listen to the Beatles song "Helter Skelter" - sometimes called the first heavy metal song!). Paul didn't go hard on many songs, but when they wanted to, the Beatles and Wings in particular could really rock it out. FWIW, a lot of us who usually sing quiet songs like nothing better than to rock out occasionally.
Saw the Wings Over America tour in 76, what a great time! 16 years old!
Mccartney's voice is one of the greatest. He could screech, Shread, sing sweat, rock it out and do it all in the same songs! Listen to Maybe I'm Amazed.
Well Helter Skelter from 1968 White Album, is Paul’s jam and is heavier than this one I think!
Ik glad your surprised I went to this show
Have you never heard Oh Darlin’ or Helter Skelter, I saw her standing there, Birthday, and many others. Paul is a great rock singer. It’s not all Let it be.
Paul McCartney invented hard rock. Beatles White Album Helter Skelter. Also he’s always rocked and had a big voice. Listen to Long Tall Sally, I’m Down and Oh Darling, Call Me etc
Is that really Paul 😮? I cant belive it. Just thinking of year year year when I think of his style... This song is a great surprising.❤️🔥🔥 He has a lot of colours... This is a rocking one. Didnt he always enjoy Beat eaaah Pop? But this is wonderful 💘
Though it was the last song he was ready to go on and on and on...
I'm always amazed when people are surprised by how incredibly good Paul's voice is. This is the guy who sang Oh! Darling and Helter Skelter in The Beatles. He is the man of 1000 voices. Just listen to You Never Give Me Your Money, he has about 5 different vocal styles _on one song_ !!
But performances like this partly contribute to why his voice hasn't lasted as well as it might have. He thrashed his vocal chords when he was younger. As a singer myself, my throat hurts when I listen to what he does live sometimes 😂 He's still the best of the best though.
Paul is the most prodigious Beatle.
Dude. It’s Paul McCartney. Are you just visiting this planet? 😂😂😂😂
Paul is outrageous in concert with songs like Maybe I’m Amazed, Band on The Run
Paul live is one friggin' awesome experience. I've seen him 11 times, including the tour this was from. Saw him 2022 just a few weeks before his 80th birthday. The voice is not what it was in '76 but he's still got it!
I never saw Wings in concert. But, in the early 80's their drummer Denny Seiwell did a concert at my college. Awesome! He has a discography himself worth looking into!
My father took me to see this tour at Madison Square Garden. I was 13. I remember every incredible moment.
What?!?!?! How have I never heard this song??? Amazing!!!
Probably since you may not have listened to “Wings Over America?”.
I actually saw them on the Wings Over America tour. The light/laser show was amazing for the time!
Sir Paul McCartney never ever lets you down. He’s 82 now and because of these gravely tone his voice has taken a hit. He’s one of the wealthiest musicians to date. He’s loved worldwide and is still touring.
You THINK you need to call him "Sir". LOL That royalty nonsense is pure bullshit.
Saw them 3 times in Atlanta when they recorded this. They played 7 days in a row. If I remember correctly the kid playing lead guitar was 17 years old at the time.
And that same guitarist was dead 3 years after this. Alcohol. Shame.
He didn't become a billionaire by being glum and doing all the same songs and music!
Saw him in Philadelphia in '76 and this was the closer that blew the roof off the place. I had a friend who was a big Zeppelin fan and wouldn't listen to Wings if you paid him. But whenever he got in my car he would ask me to play this.
You missed late 60's Paul in the Beatles. Try Oh, Darling, Helter Skelter, Birthday, I've Got a Feeling and you'll hear a very different Paul than on your other Beatles listens.
Also “I’m Down” and “She’s a Woman”
Paul is a brilliant musician and delivers some of the sickest bass lines. People truly underestimate him.
This is a very deep and underplayed Wings track. And Macca’s voice was in prime shape here! Check out a live version of the Beatles version of Long Tall Sally. Paul has had a full-on rock voice the whole time.
Paul is a great vocalist. Try The Beatles' "Helter Skelter", "I've Got a Feeling" and "Hey Jude".
"I'm Down"
@@daseguin Long Tall Sally & Kansas City
My first concert, Kingdome Seattle, 6/10/77
Denny is playing the double neck not lead on this 1 if you want aother banger by them try juniors farm
Yeah, years later, that was the song all the younger kids always liked.
Wings had 6 number 1 Billboard hits! Don't underestimate them...
Ive rewatched this performance 1000000 times, and I always leave wondering ... who has that frisbee? someone has it out there in the world
NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY can scream sing like McCartney.
Not Rodgers, Mercury, Stewart or Plant.
Sure, they're all great singers. But Paul had this certain roughness and sweetness simultaneously that no one else could quite pull off.
Listen to Helter Skelter, Oh Darling plus many more from the Beatles, and Let Me Roll It, Wildlife, Helen Wheels, Live and Let Die, Jet, plus dozens more from Paul McCartney and Wings.
Paul has at least a dozen voices, and can sound very different depending on what voice he chooses to use on each song.
You need to watch paul McCartney at Red Square in Russia, will blow your mind
First time watching your channel. I was 19 when I saw this concert in 1976 at The Summit in Houston, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. That was an amazing song to close the concert with. That was the first time a laser effect was used, to my knowledge, and it looked amazing you would look up and see it above your heads, moving around. The crowd went wild. It left everyone wanting more and more. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to have experienced that concert live. I now have a Blu-ray of it and watch the entire concert over and over and never get tired of it. What a great memory.
SAME FOR ME!! I saw this concert in '76 in Detroit, I was 29 years old. Last time I saw Paul in concert at THAT point, was 10 years earlier in 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio on Aug. 14 th, when I was 19. It was an AMAZING concert and I too have ROCKSHOW on DVD and watch it a LOT!! I also saw it on the movie screen when it was released to the movie theatres in 1980, my friends and I went to see it 6 times!!
Wings was big. Now you gotta do "Wings Over America"
I really got into Wings in the late 70's early 80's. In my view, Venus & Mars is an absolute Killer Masterpiece of an album...most certainly ranks in my top 5 of all time.
It really is epic!
Listen to Paul sing "Why Don't We Do it in the Road" Stank face inducing.
The main guitarist was Jimmy McCulloch....he was an amazing guitarist, sadly, he passed away far too young!
He belts on plenty of Beatles’ songs: “Long Tall Sally” “I’m Down” “Oh Darling” “Helter Skelter” “I’ve Got a Feeling” They’re not all squeaky clean ballads.
