80 and still tearing it up. I am guessing no matter how big you are in music, if he invites you to play his concert , you show up!! Someone I know was his bodyguard in NY and said you couldn't meet a nicer more down to earth person. We should all take lessons.
I don't believe you knew his bodyguard... but yea i guess maybe when he invites other music stars it must be hard to say No! and why would they say No?!
I believe you for both stories of Paul and your acquaintance bodyguard saying , it isn’t rare in our life time to come about famous peoples or close friends that came upon celebrities. I for myself came upon many in the political, musical, writers just by hanging around .
That must be the most amazing feeling. Walking up onto the stage with tens of thousands of people cheering and ecstatic, because you’re about to play songs that you wrote. And EVERYBODY knows them! 😮❤
And most importantly, all his life. I hardly know an artist who is consistently as positive and laid back as Paul. It is now his mission. And Ringos. For decades. Nothing bad about it.
I look at Paul McCartney and I think....that guy there....that's Paul McCartney. Paul. Mc. Cartney. That's him there. Know what I mean? The greatest. By miles. We'll be talking about him in 1,000 years.
He played his last ever concert here in NZ in 2017, such a great gig, we were all singing along of course, tears in our eyes, wonderful joy and gladness, God bless him.
@@miracles4u he's put a lot back into Liverpool. His music college and the Linda McCartney Cancer place. The tourism alone is worth millions every year too.
My kids don't like him or the beatles so he's not inspired them. They've gone on to become successful. Modern kids mostly don't know who he bloody well is. There were lots of geriatrics in his band. Maybe he's still appealing to old people 😂
@@steffanhoffmann This is just bollocks, I'm literally from the younger generation and a lot people I know my age love the Beatles, Wings, and Paul McCartney's solo career - they literally have 27,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify
@@ytcorporate9237 There was no need to use literally, (actually twice) which you have seemingly used; to stress a point. Americanisms are somewhat ruining a musical language. Quite literally 😂 What can I say instead of quite literally? As 'literally' is being used to suggest that the speaker's statement is authentic, 'actually' offers a softer, slightly less annoying alternative. I'm so hungry I could actually eat my own face. Like 'actually' above, 'honestly' is a great word to make your story or statement sound truthful and authentic. I used 'actually' in this reply There are 8 billion or so people on the planet. So...... literally /ˈlɪt(ə)rəli/ adverb in a literal manner or sense; exactly. Example: "the driver took it literally, when asked to go straight over the roundabout" That is how it's supposed to be used, although I concede it's wormed its way in; and occasionally, informaly it's acceptable.
Since I was 13 years old I've been a fan and will be so until the day I die. Paul, John, George, and Ringo. To see Paul and Ringo carrying on in concerts around the world at their (our) advanced age is astounding, not just that they can do it, but they can do it SO WELL! Bravo! A million times Bravo!!!!!!
Same here, since I was 5 years old when I heard them for the first time on my parents' huge wireless. I remember it like it was yesterday. Paul has to live forever or I couldn't cope!
@@steffanhoffmann They are not what they once were, but they're far from terrible. Both Paul and Ringo tour with some of the top musicians in the world, so if you're saying they're terrible, you really don't know what you're talking about. If you're complaining about their vocal chops, Ringo sings as good as he ever did, and though Paul doesn't have the range or timbre he once did, he's still a very good singer and an inspiring entertainer. To say otherwise is just exposing your general stupidity and lack of taste. So STFU until you grow up and learn more.
I saw him in 1993. It was a memory that will last a lunchtime. Lol. J/K, it was an amazing show. Just couldn't resist The Rutles reference. Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry Forever!
Positive uplifting composer and musician, greatest of my lifetime. Inspired me to play music and set an example for how people should interact at a time in the 1960's that included a lot of turmoil. Great that he could be a positive influence on other composers.
Saw Wings at Wembley in 1976. First concert I ever went to I was 21. Macca was 34. I Still remember it now. I've been to his Liverpool home twice. And John Lennon's and Ringo's. Visited the Casbah Club. First Club the Beatles ever played. Before The Cavern. Been on the APPLE ROOF TOP twice!! Went inside Abbey Road Studios in 1983. Great days!!
Watched it live on TV and it was brilliant. Listening to the audience carry on singing well after he had left the stage tells you they realised they had witnessed something very special. I heard quite a few saying his voice has gone etc?? Missing the point completely
I think it's doing the opposite, it's increasing his lifespan. I mean, he loves doing it and it keeps him active. That's why he's got so much energy now
Wasn’t my favourite show in respect of songs but i loved Paul as a songwriter and performer since 62 rock on Paul, like the Queen, knowng he is still with us is the ultimate buzz ❤
No matter what kind of mood your in Paul had a song for every mood - Us Boomers were so lucky to have grown up with the Beatles what a great song writer and human 😊
I saw The Beatles in person in 1964 at the Pittsburgh airport days after the Sullivan show. I was a 6 yr old in the middle of one of the Beatlemania mobs. The limo crawled right past me. I could have high fived Ringo. I saw them carry girls away on stretchers ! unbridled mayhem.
love the way McCartney is not even looking at Mel C, Noel Gallagher doing his "best mate" impression, and then along comes Dave Grohl to ruin a good night !
