@@Bella-nt7ec I mean you don’t really change from tenor to baritone by just singing lower. You are either a baritone or a tenor and it’s usually permanent throughout your life. So yes, even in those songs, Paul is still, and always was a tenor, even if he doesn’t sing as high.
I am so lucky to have lived in the age of the Beatles. Such honesty in everything they did musically. I think this was part of Pauls therapy in healing the pain of Linda's recent death.
Great to see the legends McCartney, and Gilmour sharing the stage...but seriously, the man on the skins is the remarkable one here. None other than Ian Paice of Deep Purple. Nuff said!! Thank you very much.
In these days of chaos, when it seems like cheerfulness cannot break through, embracing the gift of sadness is a vital mechanism that sets the stage for healing. Take it away, Paul: “Goin' down to lonesome town Where the broken hearts stay Goin' down to lonesome town To cry my troubles away In the town of broken dreams The streets are paved with regret Maybe down in lonesome town I can learn to forget.”
There is nothing wrong with this performance musically - The Beatles and all of their members are very, very high on my list of the greatest musicians of all-time, Paul has always had a great voice, and I've got all their remastered albums - However, I disagree with the artistic interpretation. It comes off as a casual, generically bluesy piece and loses a lot of the mystique of the original. There is just something immortal about the way Ricky Nelson delivered that hauntingly beautiful melody - You could feel the pain in his voice on every note. It takes your mind away to every time your heart was truly broken by someone you loved, down that dead-end road to the imaginary Lonesome Town manifested from a state of mind during the lowest points in one's life.... Like something out of The Twilight Zone, an indefinite purgatory for one whose heart has been damaged beyond repair.... Whenever I hear that song, I think of a desperate man in an old classic '57 Chevy at some 1950s gas station on a lonely desert highway....He's lost the love of his life whether to death, another man, or rejection, it doesn't matter....but he's ready to gas up one last time to perhaps drive himself off a cliff to end his misery and no longer think of her.... This performance was musically superb, but there is just something lost in translation, left behind in the divine ether where the greatest songs of our lives come from....
Thanks for the insight Joy.... Yes, I thought it was unusual for him to cover this song. Though I know The Beatles really worshiped and were influenced by American musicians from the 1950s dawn of rock 'n roll....
I've listened this version first before the original. I would prefer Paul's cover personally. He takes it to another level. And it's a bit meaningless anyway to compare covers with originals. There is no point of making a cover in my opinion if it would sound just like or close to the original.
It is a different interpretation and as the great man said, this was a song that he and Linda played before they even knew each other. You can hear his voice is full of emotion and sadness as Linda had not long passed. I actually like both versions, but wish the Ricky nelson one was longer. Paul has extended it with a solo and Coda. It is an outstanding song and has beautiful words and meaning however it is covered.
When Macca says Listen to my songs - his life is in his music. He's bloody right not to open up in interviews. Btw, for some reason it reminded me of Neil Sedaka's Choo-choo train
Did Paul ever cut this for an album? I gotta tell ya---Sir Paul gave a great honor...and install his respect for Ricky Nelson with this rendition of such a classic!
I like singing old Beatles stuff on karaoke night. I won't be doing this one unless I bring it down a few notes. He has quite a high range. Check out my video Christmas card above.
still, you just cant sing it like Lux....no one can cover it better than The Cramps, its just, the pain in the song when Lux sings it, the Crying guitar of Poison Ivy. RIP Lux Interior, RIP Nick Knox, RIP Bryan Gregory, RIP John Lennon George Harrison .
you can show off vocals with any song . .and you can show off instrument performance as well on any song .. think about it . . that said, the key is very high for vocals . .even McC with his baritone voice seems to sound screamy
@@jeffokriya3389 It is not too high for vocals it's a C shape on the original but downtuned half step (which not that was?), but it's actually easy to grab 2 octaves in this register especially Paul who sings tenor mostly just the original is so majestic this cant compare
Hats off to Paul for singing an entire octave above the original version
@@ethananderson2380 actually Paul is baritone as well, isn't he?
@@Bella-nt7ec lol no way, he is definitely a tenor

@@jamesreid3635 maybe you're right
People don't realize how powerful McCartneys voice was and all the difference styles he could sing in. By far one of the best singers ever
Sheer, raw emotion and heartache. For me, exactly the way this song should be interpreted....
The best musican ever....Sir.Paul McCartney make music for all times. Amazing musican....
I am so lucky to have lived in the age of the Beatles. Such honesty in everything they did musically. I think this was part of Pauls therapy in healing the pain of Linda's recent death.
From Bass to voice.....great Sir Paul!
I love this version way better than the original. Sir Paul is legend.
Great to see the legends McCartney, and Gilmour sharing the stage...but seriously, the man on the skins is the remarkable one here. None other than Ian Paice of Deep Purple. Nuff said!! Thank you very much.
Great performance and great Rick Nelson´s song
I love this version, great job Paul.
Great voice and great performance. he's still the best by a mile
Love Paul, but no one sings this song like Ricky Nelson!
I prefer paul's version than nicki's

@@villebe603 she's not wrong, because this is a subjective matter! I too prefer this version of this song than the original version.
Put this on *S P O T I F Y*
Now its avaliable in the album: Run Devil Run
I can listen to him all the time.
Singin' his heart out as usual.
Paul annnnd David Gilmore. Too cool. Ricky would be proud.
In these days of chaos, when it seems like cheerfulness cannot break through, embracing the gift of sadness is a vital mechanism that sets the stage for healing. Take it away, Paul:
“Goin' down to lonesome town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to lonesome town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are paved with regret
Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget.”
Great cover an I understand. He had recently lost Lovely Linda an I can feel his pain.. It takes a long time to deal with a death
Makes sense this was in 1999
Back when Paul vocals was still great!! Wish he would’ve preserved that up to now..
Rick would have loved to hear this version. I know i like it !
É para assistir um milhão de vezes!!!
This is beautyful!
I remember Paul playing this shortly after Linda passed..I just ached for him..RIP Linda
How have I never seen this before?!

completely agree, that version of Nelson is a sad but also beautiful song, I love how the sound ring in a way that makes my heart feel blue

Ame esto! Quedate con quien te mira como paul mccrtney a David Gilmour en el solo! 😂
I love this so much!!!
This song is too sad for Paul-sitive McCartney
Paul had recently lost Linda by the time of this performance. #insertrollingeyeshere
Fantastisk flot fremførelse 🥰 god weekend ønskes til samtlige!
SPILLES RiGTIG HØJT as usual!
I wish this band would have done an original album together. Can you imagine what they would have come up with????!!!!!
Great version of the old Ricky Nelson song.
Such a high ass range. God damn Paul.
When Macca says Listen to my songs - his life is in his music. He's bloody right not to open up in interviews. Btw, for some reason it reminded me of Neil Sedaka's Choo-choo train
Amazing voice :D I just can't believe he's 66
76 now & still going hard🍻
Nomo 4u damn a comment from 2009 wtf

So powerfull
Geniallll
Homem lindo demais
Really agreeable
y a parte la voz de paul es magnificaaaaa
such a good good cover, sorry who is the other guitarist and keyboard player
El swing de Ian Paice es increíble
Did Paul ever cut this for an album? I gotta tell ya---Sir Paul gave a great honor...and install his respect for Ricky Nelson with this rendition of such a classic!
It's on Run devil run album. From 1999
El solo de David Gilmour en 2:03" es sencillamente sobrio y soberbio.Me encanta el arreglo y la version.
isn't Ian Paice from Deep Purple the drummer??
yes !!
I love this version than the album version of his.
2:04 David Gilmour
Holy shit David Gilmour covering Ricky Nelson. lol
Gilmour>>>> Rest of the existence.
I wish John was there to sing it
but god job
British singer sings Amerikaner Rock'n roll
They played it quite a bit slower here than they did in rehearsal.
@renzoman13 Yes, he is.
Killer. Then I see Gilmore, killerer.

Mccartney's voice never sounded better on any song
Nice version of a nice song
Pink beatle
Love u, Paul. Give it a rest, though.
still, you just cant sing it like Lux....no one can cover it better than The Cramps, its just, the pain in the song when Lux sings it, the Crying guitar of Poison Ivy.
RIP Lux Interior, RIP Nick Knox, RIP Bryan Gregory, RIP John Lennon George Harrison
.
I feel like it would have been better if George or John sang it but it's still a good cover
I think Paul delivered well man
I think they would have sung it well too. But There’s too many things many things wrong with that statement
Stupid beatle fans always relate Paul with beatles.
It’s an amazing rendition! Some Beatles fans are soooo weird. I’m sure John would have sung this song very well, but George? C’mon!!!!
se nota la msno de paul en la cancion y guilmore soberbio
whos playing the organ and other guitar?
Think it's the late great mick green
On guitar
Don't like this song in that key
Mr Han Man and the style, too energic, while the song is supposed to be sad instead. It's great but it feels weird because of that.
Agreed. Like imagine if someone sang blue moon like this? It'd kill the song.
Paul doesn't like you in that key, bitch ass
Yoko ono ruined so much… imagine the covers the Beatles coulda pulled.they did have chances for sure like the stones. Mmmm the stones
This song isn’t meant to show off vocals. Doesn’t change the fact that Paul’s a legend, but this is 1,000,000% the wrong song for him.
you can show off vocals with any song . .and you can show off instrument performance as well on any song .. think about it . . that said, the key is very high for vocals . .even McC with his baritone voice seems to sound screamy
Ur the wrong song for him

This is rubbish. Nothing against McCartney since I like plenty of his work, but this is an abuse of a fine song.
It was Pauls scream of pain after Linda died
