    Im a 20 year old beatle fanatic, who especially loves McCartney's contributions and solo career. I love seeing people of the younger generations appreciate this type of music. Most people of our generation dismiss the artists of the 60s/70s and say that its outdated and old, but I feel that music from this era carries much more heart and soul than most of what has come out in the last 20+ years. I love seeing people like you react to some of the best compositions ever written

    You really need to watch Rockshow, which is concert footage from the Wings over the World tour. That was my first concert ever. 1976 in Ft. Worth TX. It is still the best concert I've ever been to, and I've seen Bruce Springsteen in concert, which still takes second place. The backstory of how he made Band on the Run is amazing. He got robbed and they took all of his lyrics and demo tapes. He recreated the album from memory, and it is still the best album in his catalog. Also, it is just him, Linda, and Denny Laine. The other band members didn't want to travel to Africa to record it. He plays multiple instruments on the album, including being the drummer.

      All very true and factual. Here's a fun fact to add to the list of McCartney wonders - he can and has played over 40 instruments throughout his recording career. Of course that would include some simpler instruments and not all played at an expert level but nevertheless what an amazing talented man. That's why for me he is the best of the Beatles. I mean over 40 instruments, composed songs across a multitude of genre, and is talented in other art forms as well. He is a true genius. I agree too, Rock Show is a phenomenal concert.

    One of my favorite albums! I grew up on this record and feel it was played for me as a baby with songs like Bluebird and Let Me Roll It with the later quite possibly being my favorite McCartney track of all time. It's always wonderful seeing you discover these gems for the first time and sharing your reaction for these is just astonishing, thank you.

    I’m sure others here have mentioned that Let Me Roll It was said to be a message from Paul to John Lennon. The two had been feuding for a couple of years and Paul wanted to call a truce and this song was part of that message. He did the song in sort of a very Lennonesque style. John was said to have liked the song very much and he may have even borrowed the guitar lick for his song “Beef Jerky”. Clips for comparison can be found here on RUclips.

      @@CrystalMarieShannon Unfortunately the feud didn't quite end ... The two went back and forth, and John was often horrible to Paul in the press (never the reverse). At the very end, they had a couple of warm conversations on the phone, which Paul holds onto as a resolution, since that was the best he'd get. They actually had plans to write and record together again when John was assassinated.
      Btw, as the person above says, "Let Me Roll It" was in the exact style John was using at that time, including the vocal effects. I wasn't alive back then, but apparently to fans, Paul was clearly doing a John.

    This was the first post-Beatle work that John Lennon publicly praised. They were past their little spat, for one thing, but also he couldn't deny how good it was.
    I went looking for an interview of him saying so, but instead I found an extremely rare recording of John singing the album with studio friends. He learned every word from Paul's album. ruclips.net/video/FPkC54xEEnU/видео.html

    Great to see you back again, Crystal. I have a confession to make. I came across your channel when revisiting many Beatles rabbit holes, in 2021 I think. At the start, I thought I was watching a ditzy little Disney teenager.... what would she make of the Beatles or Pink Floyd, and why would I want hear her reactions ? Don't worry, I've since slapped myself !
    I love the musical nous you bring, the freshness of real 'first time hearing', with an infectiousness. I'm now also hearing something new, even if I've known it for 40 or 50 years.
    BOTR was a staple for my college years, a time when you only had like a dozen or 20 LP's (Kate Bush's Kick Inside was another oft-played album for me). Thanks so much, and I look forward to Side 2 and beyond.

    So good to see you and your smiling face again. 2 of Paul 's Band members quit just before they were to record this album in Africa. He said screw them, Denny and Linda and I will do it. Paul played guitar, bass, drums and a few other things. one of his 3 albums I consider masterpieces. Tug of War is great as well. Can't remember what other one, probably Ram. The songs Helen Wheels, Jet and Band on the Run were the singles from this album, in that order from 1973 through mid 1974. it was my senior year in high school. this album is timeless. Pre-Disco era. Paul McCartney was a major reason I became a school music teacher. I am still singing and playing music for folks in senior homes...yes for money...no drunks lol.

    Seeing the moments of joy you had hearing S1 of Band on the Run lifted my spirits. This music is truly magical. And yet another record where Paul shows why he's a genius.
    Fun fact. On the deluxe edition of this album, Paul said in an interview that musically he could do John, and John could do him. "Let Me Roll It" was Paul doing John. And it's an incredible song! But my fave on this album is probably Band on the Run. I love its creativity and that it doesn't have a typical song structure.

    Awesome that you've gotten to this one. This is noteworthy for being McCartney first solo album to get immediate critical praise in addition to commercial success. Granted, a lot of that lacking critical praise was a byproduct of Beatles breakup baggage, and McCartney frequently (and unfairly) being painted as the villain as it was happening. Still, it must have felt nice back then to release a solo album that not only felt satisfying to make, but also got positive feedback right away, after years without.

(He was obviously unbelievably good before that, but the Band on the Run album, Live and Let Die, and the triple album Wings over America were staples of mine for many years.)

It gets MORE fun to play each time, and we joke that we want to do a whole set where we just play it over and over. A testament to flawless and brilliant songwriting. I look forward to more of your videos, keep up the great work, you are lovely!!

    😎👍 If it's of interest, in late 1973, "Helen Wheels" was a big hit single in the U.S. and was thus, included on side 2 of the American version of this album. It was not on the British version. I don't know which iteration of the album you're listening to, but when it was re-issued on CD in the 1980s, it also included a couple of bonus tracks, "Country Dreamer" (originally the B-side of "Helen Wheels") and "Zoo Gang" (originally the B-side of the British single of the title cut). This album really went on to dominate both the AM and FM airwaves during the first half of 1974. "Jet" and "Band On The Run" were both #1 hits.

Band On The Run, RAM, Tug of War, Flaming Pie & Chaos And Creation are definitely his best projects. With that said STILL pretty much all his post-Beatles work ranges from good to REALLY good outside of Press To Play, Off The Ground & Driving Rain.

    “Let me roll it” was the answer to John Lennons “How do you sleep” (which was aimed at Paul )
    Paul even makes “Let me roll it” sound, like a song John would write, (like the intro and the slap-back echo )
    If you listen to “How do you sleep” by John you’ll get what I mean.

    There's a Dutch band that's playing the later Beatles albums live on stage, which the Beatles never did play obviously.
    They even use the same instruments as on the record and have their own orchestra with them.
    They're called The Analogues. They released an album with own work last year as well that went number 1 in the Dutch Album Charts!

    Hey, beautiful,
    It was an absolute joy to watch your reaction to these opening five tracks.
    This was Paul's fifth solo album, and I, along with many others, felt this was when he finally raised his game back to Beatle level. It took four years to get there, but after "Band on the Run," there was no looking back for the maestro.
    I think it took Paul this long, too, to realize he could deliver a Beatle-level musical creation and never again have to look into that haunting rearview mirror.
    Critics unanimously raved about this album after beating him up pretty mercilessly over a majority of what preceded it.
    Did you get a chance to see the videos that accompanied the 1994 and 1995 Beatles swan-song tunes?
    It is always such a treat to see you in action, Crystal. You work your magic on so many levels. 👏👍🥂
    I'm sending you lots of love and heartfelt appreciation for all you do.
    Take the best of care of yourself, my sweet. ❤

    Hi Crystal!
    So nice to see you back in the long form... And what a wonderful album to inaugurate your return with! 1973 was such a great year for music and Band on the Run was one of my favorite albums of that year.
    This album was recorded mostly by the trio of Paul, Linda and Denny Laine... Guitarist Henry McCullough and drummer Denny Seiwell had quit the band at the last minute, leaving Paul to pick up the slack by providing the drums and even more guitar than usual in addition to his wondrous bass and piano playing.
    The title track is an epic opener and Jet takes it up another notch. Bluebird takes us down before Mrs Vanderbilt picks up the pace again and leading us into a real WTF side closer.
    Let Me Roll It stands out, not only for its odd time signature and double entendres, but also for its abundance of vocal and musical Lennonisms. This was recorded in the middle of their post-Beatle feud and I believe it was meant as an olive branch from Paul to John. This is my second favorite song on the album [*SPOILER ALERT:* we haven't heard my favorite yet]
    Welcome back! This post was like a breath of desperately needed fresh air.
    Cheers!

    I've always been more of a John Lennon fan than a McCartney fan, so I didn't really listen to many of his albums. He songs always felt more slight compared to Lennon's. I only had a handful of McCartney songs on my computer. But this past year I actually listened to almost all his albums from the 70s in their anniversary editions and found how many great songs there are on there. I still think the songs feel a little slight compared to Lennon, but there are some really great songs on those albums.

    Fun fact, most of this album was recorded in an EMI-owned recording studio in Lagos. And yes, I do mean Lagos, Nigeria. Apparently, Paul was thinking recording in a more exotic location from his perspective would inspire more creativity, and give the recording session time a feel more akin to a holiday than work, naïve to the fact that Nigeria was still recovering from a recent Civil War, and the recording studio itself was very poorly maintained. Nonetheless, these drawbacks, plus a day of passing out from a bronchial spasm due to his smoking habit combined with the humidity, and a knife-point robbery of his written lyrics and demo tapes which necessitated recording these songs from memory, didn't prevent him and the band from making one heck of a strong pop rock album for the early 70s.

    • @Wintertalent
      @Wintertalent Год назад +1

      Another drawback was Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough both quitting Wings right before they were set to leave for Africa, so Paul, Linda and Denny Laine had to 3-man the album, with the help of Nigerian studio musicians.

    • @moviemaestro800
      @moviemaestro800 Год назад

      And apparently, Fela Kuti (a prominent local activist and musical pioneer of the time), showed up to the studio one day, worried that the group of famous British musicians were recording in the former British colony Nigeria (hence EMI owning a recording studio there) for more insidiously appropriative reasons, and got a bit confrontational about it, but left in decent spirits after actually listening in to the recording sessions and finding nothing indicating his fears coming true in his mind. I also wonder if McCullough and Seiwell left, in part because they sensed that recording in Nigeria was going to be more trouble than it was worth at the time.

      @@CrystalMarieShannon The song is great, of course. Your voice has a woodwind quality to it. A timbre similar to a clarinet. Which is magnificent. I also detect a flavor of young Dolly in there. I was in bands for years but I was never a great singer. Still, I know a great singer when I hear one. Do you have original music?

    Crystal, I'm so glad you loved this one! I'm amazed (maybe I'm amazed? Ha!) that you hadn't heard this one before. It's called Band on the Run because his drummer and guitarist left just before recording, so he did the whole album by himself with some help from Denny Laine and Linda McCartney. Great album! Many say his best, though I also love Ram and Red Rose Speedway. Dracula (and Lord of the Rings) legend Christopher Lee is on the cover, among other notables.

    Boy, are you back!! One of the best Macca LPs. "Let Me Roll It" is supposedly Paul's response to John Lennon's harsh comments on "How Do You Sleep" from "Imagine" (a song you'll recall). Instead of counterattacking him lyrically he paodied his musical style - or so some people have said. Personally, I still like it even if this isn't so.

    • @derekroberts6654
      @derekroberts6654 Год назад

      Actually the song “Dear Friend” from the first Wings album “Wildlife” was Paul’s response to Lennon’s HDYS.
      But ABSOLUTELY “Let Me Roll It” was aimed at Lennon as well.

    Crystal! I’m so happy! 😀 This is what many people consider to be Paul McCartney’s best solo album. It says Wings, but only three members of the band (Paul, Linda McCartney, and Denny Laine) performed on it.
    “Band On The Run”: such a great opener. It’s a bit like “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”, three songs rolled into one and both conclude in C major.
    “Jet”: such a cool rocker. I also love the horns and sax. And that piano!
    “Bluebird”: lovely ballad, love the harmonies. Wings did a live version that I actually think is even better. But this one is a nice break from the two rockers.
    “Mrs. Vandebilt”: I love that bassline. The “ho, hey ho!” callbacks. The maniacal laughter at the end. Love it.
    “Let Me Roll It”: many people believe this was an homage to John Lennon. You picked up on the “Come Together” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” sound. The reverb, the stripped-back sound is very Lennon.
    Fun fact: a year later John did a song called “Beef Jerky” an instrumental which has a guitar riff that sounds exactly like Paul’s here on this song. Many believe it was John’s way of reciprocating Paul.

      Glenn Miller : A band oughta have a sound all of its own, oughta have a personality.
      Helen Burger : Sort of like a person.
      Glenn Miller : Uh-huh.
      Helen Burger : Well, how do you get this different sound?
      Glenn Miller : You see, the arrangements, the way you score each one of the individual instruments. Some bands have that sound already, like Pollack, but it's not the right sound, not for me.
      Helen Burger : What is?
      Glenn Miller : I don't know. I don't know. I haven't found it yet. But someday I'm gonna find it.
      I love that. It’s so true. Every great band has its own sound. Where you know after 2 seconds who it is. You know it’s Beatles or Queen after just a couple of seconds. The genius is having the ability to retain that sound but make each song unique.
