Paul McCartney and band play "Ain't No Sunshine," featuring Paul "thumpin' them pagan skins..." 1993 

Do you remember the first time you heard IMAGINE? Watch John Lennon have the same experience! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VvkZ4L0EQr8.html

I always love seeing Linda in these old clips. Gone but never forgotten. 💕

Amazing how musicians have a natural talent with never a lesson. But to be able to play such a variety of instruments with no formal training is truly remarkable! 😊

What a great upload, thank you!...Paul just oozes natural musicianship, and what a great vocal from Hamish.

Beautiful version of the classic song

Wow! One of the best versions of this song! I just noticed that Paul seems to like playing music. 😂

I always loved this band Paul had in the early 1990s. In this video we have Paul on drums, Hamish Stuart on acoustic guitar and lead vocal, Robbie McIntosh on lead guitar, Paul "Wix" Wickens on bass, Blair Cunningham on triangle and tambourine, and Linda on shaker. I think they all helped out a bit on the backing vocals. So great to watch these guys having so much fun playing this Bill Withers classic - I believe at a sound check.

A world-wide cultural icon, who wrote some of the best songs ever, known for playing bass, guitar, and singing, just gets up and plays drums like a professional studio drummer. No problem...

Sir Paul, a southpaw, playing right-handed drums... A true musical genius...😅

This is gem

what a treat Paul ON drums

How is this the first time in 56 years I've seen Sir Paul play drums???

Remember when Paul played all the instruments on his first solo album? 😎

That gave me the biggest smile..Beautiful ❤

Paul being Instrumentalist Paul! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

😎👏🏼👏🏼🥁🎶🎵 a big Beatle fan that I am but Paul has always been the master behind the scene. Good job, Paul.🫵🏻😊🫵🏻

Thanks for another video from this soundcheck!

Thank you Bill Withers...

Great. Thanks for posting. ❤

Got to love this band of 1993 more than the new one

Wow! Great upload! This has been a total surprise to me. Thanks!)

Thanks for posting this!!!

The lad shows a bit of promise, he’ll probably do well. Also, I’m simply Amazed. Fabulous download, many thanks. ✌️

Thanks for this!

Paul also played a mean kit on Steve Miller’s “My Dark Hour”.

That 3:23 was better then most of crap being pushed onto us now. Fantastic band at the time. You can tell the feeling Paul was going for while playing . A real nice groove. The snare and bass drums were OFF the chart great 😅 !!!!!!! Beauty

This drummer has some future. I would like to see him trying other instruments. Guy is charismatic!

He is a true musician. ❤

Great band with Robbie from pretenders and hamish from awb

Lovely moment, tank you people 💐

Great video!

What a shame people don't record songs like this anymore.... This would be a SMASH HIT if it was released today....

..an all around great musician understands time and groove..and he’s spent enough time playing drums, not everyone has access to all the equipment so he’s more used to just jumping on something like this..

This song was also performed in MTV's Unplugged, with Robbie on piano.

This lad drummed on the Beatles Back in the USSR and was never heard from again

Omg..new sub..blown away❤😂🎉

He is like Mozart. A genius

Maravilha, um gênio lindo de muitos instrumentos

No había visto este vídeo. Genial! 🍏🖒🖒

Excelente!!!

Finally, the drummer gets most of the attention!

What a joy to watch

That was cool!

eced it ty one of my fav songs and abums by George Benson..... 1101 meed so many have been missing 101.9 since NYC cut FM smooth Jazz

Just great !

2:02 Paul shouts yeah

Merry Christmas Sir Paul!🎄 Feliz Navidad!🧑‍🎄 Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!

Best period and Best band for me aronde Paul.

Awesome

Wonderful

Banish sings this song very well. As the vocalist in The Average White Band he brought the soul.

This was my absolute favorite band lineup. I was grateful to see them perform live in concert.

Wow, nice, great to see Linda

Paul loves music. Doesn’t matter which instrument or role he plays.

I never thought I would like a Bill Withers song better than “Ain’t No Sunshine” until I heard “Grandma’s Hands”. I just wish it had a bridge.

I love that RU-vid is releasing archival footage of the Beatles and their contemporaries.

the person who films miss all the fills it's so fun !!!

I miss 1993

great🌟

Lovely Linda.

Like Ringo, a left-handed person playing a right-handed kit! lol

Omg. Even better second time round !!!! “Wix “ Wickens has been around forever .👍🏻✅

yah that pocket is what underlies all of his music..what a delight to hear

What a guy.

Great guitar tones🤌

Love u Paul and Linda

Big McCartney in the drum!WOW

Very, very fine musicians... that Band was really good...

What a big surprise! I didn't know Paul plays drums too!😮

Drummer Paul! Very rare...

Don't forget Paul and Ringo are both left handed they just learned to play right and left hand Paul and do not forget Ringo plays piano It just learned techniques that prevailed to this this day it's all still very fresh 🎉

😂love the way at 1:37 Paul uses his drumsticks as an orchestra conductor's baton to signal to the band. Like a George Martin move.❤

The only thing missing here would be a cool saxophone solo!

"Thumping them pagan skins" is a line from A Hard Days Night

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't think anyone has ever noticed this quick little Super complicated Jazz run on the piano that McCartney played Z in the movie 😂"A Hard Day's night" I knew back then to keep an eye on somebody who could do something like that yet he's playing in a Big Funtime Major Chord Rock Band like The Beatles !!!

Odd the video is in black & white in 1993. Virtually everything was in color by then.

❤❤❤!!!

I loooove the “I know I know….” bit. Most who try to cover the song get it wrong by attempting to emulate Withers. Here they just harmonize it and make it short; they pay homage while not attempting the ridiculous. Awesome. Not to mention Paul’s drumming is solid

Genius = Paul McCartney

❤

goddamn

YEAH YEAH YEAH

вообще по кайфу так,собрались поиграли,записались...

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Don’t know what my future holds but it’s like my dad always sed be ready for anything

Bill playing Paul playing Bill

I've seen Wix on guitar but didn't know he played bass too.

Magic!

👍🤘

Love! Macca with no calculation.

Love to see me some Linda

Paul McCartney is a surprisingly good drummer.

Sir Paul playing a right handed drum set. A lefty playing a right handed drum set. Now where have I seen that before?

Wixie boy on acoustic bass

I feel seasick.

😮

I wonder why it seems the camera almost left the lead vocalist Hamish out of the video

Actually Paul McCartney is known for playing drums as well as bass, guitar and piano. Indeed, he performed every instrument on his first album.

Is that the bass player from the Blockheads?
