I ran into Sir Paul McCartney at a road side fruit stand in Malibu, California. He had no "bodyguards or entourage" with him. Just "a guy buying some fruit".... oh and A LIVING ROCK GOD. Super cool and down-to-earth is a massive understatement. I have yet to see him live. OMG. I was so star struck I didn't even ask for an autograph, just talked with him like it was no big deal. It WAS a BIG deal for me, I will never forget it. What you see is what you get when you see this truly humble amazing Mega-star. I consider Paul McCartney the JS Bach of the 20th Century. What a CLASSIC GENTLEMAN and awesome human-being.
T Rohan- same thing happened to me 10-3-2003 in Oxford Street, London (at Newman Street crossing). Talk about perfect time, perfect place. Despite the crowd, no one really noticed who was in their/our midst. I sure did- jackpot city!. Woah! Congratulations!
He and Nancy took a car trip across America. Is that when you seen him? He also stopped in Illinois getting gas and a few guys seen him there under the same circumstances. I use to go to that station a lot. Right off the interstate but not there then. Wish I had been.
Love the guy..my fave since I was was little in the 70s...loved wings and solo and as I got older went back and discovered his amazing beatles stuff which is genius
IMHO this was the best time to be alive. Wings were insanely good, and there was loads of amazing music to be heard playing on the radio. So many great singer/songwriters and super talented bands in the 1970's (not the disco!) So many artists got their start in the '60's, and came into their own in the 1970's. There's lots of good music now, but there will never be a better era to be a music fan. Great times indeed!! 🎶👂❤️💯✌️🥲🍻👍
PAUL is the one who did never give up, did never stop doing his job: making our lives sweeter with his flow of great songs. He will never be thanked and honored enough.God bless him.
I saw Paul McCartney and Wings in 1976 late in the year. We had their first record in 75. We liked Band on the Run a lot. He did sing Blackbird sitting on a tall stool in near darkness, quiet except for his acoustic guitar. I can say that I saw one of my favourite musicians, heroes, crushes, songwriter from my favourite band of my life play one of my favourite songs. My dad waited in a que for 3 hours. I think we saw him at a huge venue like the Silverdome in Detroit. I liked Wings because Paul was in a band again, where he seems most fulfilled.
I was in the second row from the front at the first show at Southampton Gaumont. Never forget how fantastic it was. We went to the stage door at the end, no security, just Paul's chauffeur. Paul, Linda and the kids came out and jumped into their Rolls Royce inches from us, happy days.
9:55 I know McCartney has so many truly fantastic songs with The Beatles, Solo, with The Wings, etc... But if someone told me that this is his best song, I could not call that person a liar. I love, "Band on the Run." You go, Paul! Make your music, play your music, we love it!
Love this!!! As a child of the 70's I heard Wings ( Silly Love Songs) on the radio before I heard the Beatles on my Sister's 45's. And his Daughter interviewing Paul is just great!!! Awesome vid and Thank You for sharing~
Paul and Linda OWNED the 70's like no other former Beatle did. Paul and Linda were able to navigate in public so much more adeptly and adroitly than any other of the former Beatles and their wives. Paul remained true to his former Beatle status and continued delivering music without a political agenda or avant garde spin. John and Yoko trapped themselves over and over again. John Lennon seemed to finally get it and began making music for the sake of music again when he was killed.
Once in the past Paul had to get a dump for some diarrhea behind a bush in some camp, he forgot to wipe his shit from the ground and went on to other activities. It happens that because Paul is an overly talented guy even his shit got "alive" and went on to live too, you all know who that shit turned into nowadays ? Kanye West !
Do you remember?I do.You couldn't go to a stadium concert back then without hearing wings music over the speakers for hours before the show started no matter who was playing.
Plus it had a lot of footage of Jimmy, my first serious musician crush. (Of course, later that year, he passed, and my 13 yr old self was absolutely destroyed...) :( Yes, it sounds like he was probably a right bastid in real life,, but hey, he had talent and I was in love.
For the no it all having a go at Linda, yes after Wings broke up, but Paul & Linda continued with another back-up band, they addef another keyboard player, much to linda's relief I think. Linda always played & sang live. Paul was the one who wanted his wife on stage with him, Linda would have been happy staying in the back ground, or taking photos. Give this poor misunderstood woman some respect. RIP Linda, lovely Lady x
I was 14 in 76 and love these old clips...life was so cool then as a kid in LA...so much fun...went to catholic school with a bunch of skaters and future faith no more members...what a time
no your comment is 2 yrs old but U must have a million lifetimes of memories, i was 8 in the bicentenial year of 1976. to young to fully enjoy the 70s but old enough to know what i missed, i would give anything to be in LA in the 70s, moved here in 1986.
Susan, I agree! Also, I'm still waiting for my "Linda" to come into my life...She was such a lovely and beautiful lady. Classy, talented, great mother, and wonderful wife! (Based on what little I've heard and seen of them, ofcourse!) It's a love story that is just pure and oozing with love and respect.
Love the way Linda supported Paul. Very cool. True love is a beautiful thing. Paul's choice of Denny Lane was right on for this band. Great guitar player.
I took many close-up photos in the Seattle King Dome, of this Wings concert, after a long drive, taking my sister and her girlfriend from high school, crammed into my Datsun 1600 Roadster Sports Car. We lived in Portland Oregon. Then a few days later I drove my brother and I to San Francisco to photograph the same Wings concert at the Cow Palace. You are welcomed to see many modest photographs on Kodak High Speed Ektachrome Transparency film, through a 135mm telephoto lens on my Mamiya/Sekor 1000 DTL 35mm camera.

Inspiration to all of us musicians and bassists!......(JUst watching this 'rare' video) &,as a Bass Player , it's nice to know if you put your mind to it 'you 'Can be a 'Front-Man' playing BASS ,... even with Wings . the BAND' were cool because there is no band that could bring there kids on 'Tour' these days, yeah' that would of been really hard thing to do???.(kids are difficult just to get to sleep , let alone bring on a World Tour' this is 'REAL' Rock n roll!",........so,... " Cheers 2 PAUL McCartney' He loved the Music and not the money...WHAT A GOOD VIDEO! .i wish linda was still alive she was an inspiration to His music .....
Some species of beetle have wings. Paul, spread his, as did all of them, after the Beatles. John, had just risen back to the top, when he was taken from us, at the young age of 40. I was driving tractor that day when I heard it on KREM FM out of Spokane. I cried for hours, as much of the world did that day.............
Seattle Kingdome ! June 10, 1976. He chose THAT show to film ENTIRE concert. Released as "Rockshow". (And I'm in it for a half a second). Was 3 days after I graduated high school. Hell of a year !
Probably one of the reasons why John was so depressed at this time because he just realized how brilliant Paul was that he can't cope up Paul's level of music. But he came back in the late 1980's with his last album before he died.
John always knew how brilliant Paul was. The problem was John wasn’t secure enough in his own brilliant talents to just be happy for Paul and keep doing his own John thing. John was beloved by so many, he didn’t need to be jealous of his friend.
So cool this video fits the line, good things come to those who wait. Man being a big fan of both the Beatles and Paul McCartney & Wings.Tthis certainly answered the question will the Beatles be getting back together all these years later. Rock Rolls on Forever!
Thanks for the detail. The first time he ever played with Wings was here at York University Goodrick College. Secret lunchtime gig. Portrayed in the mostly naff Linda McCartney made-for-TV effort. Available to watch elsewhere on this same channel.
At this point Jimmy McCulloch already had a UK number one hit under his belt, something P McC wouldn't achieve after the Beatles split for another couple of years. RIP Jimmy McCulloch.
"The Beatles split in '69, and since then they've been doing fine. And if that question doesn't cease, ain't no one gonna get no peace. And if you ask it just once more, I think I'm gonna break your jaw!" - Paul McCartney, the real bad ass mother fucker in town
John Lennon and May Pang were due to meet McCartney in New Orleans while Wings were recording Venus And Mars lp for some possible songwriting but after the infamous hypnotism session at the Dakota organized by Yoko Ono to help John stop smoking, that was the end of those plans, May Pang and five years later, Lennon himself. Thanks so much, Yoko. Just saying.
I really liked John at my early adulthood, now I'm 30, watched US. vs John Lennon and can assure, Lennon was an idiot, I'm not talking about musician John Lennon, I still listen to his songs, they are awesome actually. But liberal movement, by liberal I mean liberal in american sense, leftists, socialists, political revolucionaries - they used Lennon a lot for their political agenda, that nimrod got carried away for all that bullshits, he was an marionette in the hands of kinds like Saul Alinsky and others worse than him.
I saw Paul McCartney on VH1 here couple years ago and there was about 25 / 30% of the crowd was teenagers from this area. when they show the crowd with the camera everybody was having a good time. I mean a smile on every face in the audience and a smile on every face in the band. long story short Paul McCartney still has it and everybody's loving it. and no that's not David Cassidy. close but no cigar

Still breaks my heart that Paul lost his life mate Linda. They had something so special.
Always loved paul,Linda and the band. Wings was flat awesome. And everything they did was awesome..
IMHO this was the best time to be alive. Wings were insanely good, and there was loads of amazing music to be heard playing on the radio.

Great times indeed!! 🎶👂❤️💯✌️🥲🍻👍
Loved Wings and have all of their albums, along with my Beatle albums. Thank You Sir Paul for all the incredible years of music!!!
Call me back again from Venus and Mars
They ruled the radio back then. Remember getting into the car and hearing them as a kid in the 70s.
PAUL is the one who did never give up, did never stop doing his job: making our lives sweeter with his flow of great songs. He will never be thanked and honored enough.God bless him.
What a right comment! Love it!❤ Totally agree with your opinion.... 🤝😊🤗Thank you! God bless you, too!
Paul is a musical genius, very special talent, incredible career spanning over 50 years, Linda was very beautiful & talented

There'll never be another Paul McCartney.....
Why not? They managed to replace the first one.
@@user-rd4zq4pf2y Funny.....
Paul and Linda....the most beautiful and love couple in history!!! RIP Linda.
I never get tired of wings or beatles....
Venus & Mars is about the most beautiful melody I've ever heard.
Hard to beat!
same here, good on you Rebecca!
yeah I know.its like holding your fave toy..
Rebecca Baeza Villegas I agree with you Rebecca...
Love music, love family, love fans, love work ethic, love recording, Love is all you need.
I saw Wings on the first tour but it was before 1975,My Love was number one,good band.
I was in the second row from the front at the first show at Southampton Gaumont. Never forget how fantastic it was. We went to the stage door at the end, no security, just Paul's chauffeur. Paul, Linda and the kids came out and jumped into their Rolls Royce inches from us, happy days.

Paul McCartney is GREAT singer all time
Saw the McCartney and Wings Tour at the Omni, in Atlanta Georgia. early 70's with Linda, Jimmy, Denny and Joe....What a GAS....
I seen Led Zeppelin at the Omni in 1977. Been tore down hasn't it?
Wow! This beautiful babe is Paul's daughter. Ah she's a doll.
Wow brings back alot of memories. Wings was hot during the 70's. 😍
Paul McCartney is not only a living legend, but the most well known man in the western world.
Kanye West's fans actually don´t know him very well... rs
Ilmar Amaral Jr they're joking. They know him but they just want to get on peoples nerves.
Who's Kanye West?
ildarrrr2 It's the opposite of Can ya (go) East.
Once in the past Paul had to get a dump for some diarrhea behind a bush in some camp, he forgot to wipe his shit from the ground and went on to other activities.
It happens that because Paul is an overly talented guy even his shit got "alive" and went on to live too, you all know who that shit turned into nowadays ?
Kanye West !
Do you remember?I do.You couldn't go to a stadium concert back then without hearing wings music over the speakers for hours before the show started no matter who was playing.
Lovely video, thanks. Brings back forgotten times.
Paul McCartney moved on after the Beatles having fun with his music the way he wanted to and pumping out the hits.
I LOVE THIS! It's no wonder I loved Paul & Linda...*happy sigh*
The "Live" rendition of Bluebird was COOL.
Plus it had a lot of footage of Jimmy, my first serious musician crush. (Of course, later that year, he passed, and my 13 yr old self was absolutely destroyed...) :( Yes, it sounds like he was probably a right bastid in real life,, but hey, he had talent and I was in love.

Give this poor misunderstood woman some respect. RIP Linda, lovely Lady x
Who cares. Doesn't change the fact that she had no talent.
I was 14 in 76 and love these old clips...life was so cool then as a kid in LA...so much fun...went to catholic school with a bunch of skaters and future faith no more members...what a time
You are a lucky individual.
no your comment is 2 yrs old but U must have a million lifetimes of memories, i was 8 in the bicentenial year of 1976. to young to fully enjoy the 70s but old enough to know what i missed, i would give anything to be in LA in the 70s, moved here in 1986.
Yeah to have been in LA in '76 with the likes of The Eagles !
I think they had an enviable relationship. I love him for being such a fantastic husband.
Susan Smeltzer Yes, he wrote all those songs FOR LINDA. True love never dies. Amazing.
It's a shame he had to lose her
Susan, I agree! Also, I'm still waiting for my "Linda" to come into my life...She was such a lovely and beautiful lady. Classy, talented, great mother, and wonderful wife! (Based on what little I've heard and seen of them, ofcourse!) It's a love story that is just pure and oozing with love and respect.
Love the way Linda supported Paul. Very cool. True love is a beautiful thing. Paul's choice of Denny Lane was right on for this band. Great guitar player.
Man, it was good to be young in the 70's
Like him or not, you have to love Paul McCartney!
posting id One of the wiser comments I've read on youtube ! :)
posting id wasnt he killed in a car crash in 1966?
barry morgenstein Hey buddy watch what you say about William Campbell ...uh, er I mean Paul McCartney, yeah that's it Paul McCartney !
+jsilence418 Blasphemy
Love him, love him.....gosh I do!!
I got to see this tour, I had just gone out on my own and the next three or four years were amazing, I got to see so many different concerts.
I love the live version of Band on The Run...
Paul M....the best ever.
☺😊 we had this lp too the wonderful paul mccartney
I wasn't much into beatles in 60's but Wings rocked in 70's. What talent.
Holy just awesome

Wings were great in those days. 1973 to 1976 I still enjoy listening to Band On The Run.
This was fun to watch, brought back a lot of memories, I remembered Wings at the Speed of Sound Album being released. Thanks for this
~He sure loved his wife...the truest love.
I was at the concert in Cardiff in September 1975, remember it with great fondness.
So glad I got to see them in the 80's ~ To date it was the best concert I've ever been to. It was like going to a Beatles Concert.
You sure it wasn’t the 70’s? Wings’ last concert was in December 1979, they broke up in 1981 and Paul didn’t tour solo until 1989.
Rare my ass, this was on TV. Wings was the sh*t, great 70's band.
+ghostdancer2302 Never seen this before, so yeah for me its rare......
+redrheino Rare ?? It`s on youtube :-D

that was awesome!!
they were fortunate to get denny laine added to the group; incredible vocalist.
That entire band was awesome. Loved Jimmy McCullough guitar work too and Joe English was a great drummer & backing vocalist 👍🍻
never seen that b4. Fantastic some classic footage .Soily was on there.
So cool this video fits the line, good things come to those who wait. Man being a big fan of both the Beatles and Paul McCartney & Wings.Tthis certainly answered the question will the Beatles be getting back together all these years later. Rock Rolls on Forever!

perfect

At this point Jimmy McCulloch already had a UK number one hit under his belt, something P McC wouldn't achieve after the Beatles split for another couple of years. RIP Jimmy McCulloch.
What are you talking about? Paul had at LEAST one #1 song every year from 1962-1984
That trip to Japan "next time" that Paul mentions would be a long, long time coming.
Very cool
Western

Good on you Brother for sharing this...
So rare it was released on the dvd Wingspan WAY back in the early 2000's.
Venus and Mars ara alright tonight always!
A genius !!!
linda beautiful face.....paul my brave face
lindas so lovely

Yeah thanks for nothing> Yoko Zero.
Sam Akhtar Good point, man- so true, so true.
She bought Mendips and gave it to the nation. This act alone wipes out any ''asshole'' comments dipshit.
Sam Akhtar And your still a dipshit LOL!!!
I really liked John at my early adulthood, now I'm 30, watched US. vs John Lennon and can assure, Lennon was an idiot, I'm not talking about musician John Lennon, I still listen to his songs, they are awesome actually.

Paul McCartney and wings ,epic !
Ahh, 1976--those were the days! I was 21 and Paul was 34!
good times
Yes, I saw that (The Linda McCartney Story) and actually liked it. A friend of mine played John in that.
la mejor epoca de Paul fue con los Wings 75 - 76
So much potential never realized.
thank you very much! :)
Wow !
Long time ago!
Класс! Спасибо!
50p to watch sitting on the floor at Leeds Uni refectory 🇬🇧
Why doesn't Paul and Don Henley form a band, they could call it The Beagles.
Don Henley knows that Paul is a better drummer..
Check out the band : Beatalica OMFG. You'll laugh soooo hard. Metallica actually has them play at their private parties.
Good times! Good times!
who cares if its rare……Paul is the man!
Tom Pickett I guess it's rare because it's on YT. Wait a minute! How can it be rare then? Good point.
Okay I'm getting ideas here from you for a new novel. :)
It was rare at one point, not in perpetuity.
cool vid
It's wasn't rare the minute you posted this. :-)
I saw Paul McCartney on VH1 here couple years ago and there was about 25 / 30% of the crowd was teenagers from this area. when they show the crowd with the camera everybody was having a good time. I mean a smile on every face in the audience and a smile on every face in the band. long story short Paul McCartney still has it and everybody's loving it. and no that's not David Cassidy. close but no cigar
Great time.
Sir Paul, the ETERNAL Beatle
Paul and Jimmy McCollough at 1:18, hilarious.
It's a master peace
Jimmy er nog bij❤😊
Momentos raros são eternos.
ill say it again ! top of his game here!
La voce di linda è molto carina
On the daughter's doumentary....I have this underground form the 1970s.
5:21 wooo lo mejor de todo el video
