That's His Voice?! Paul McCartney & Wings - Soily (LIVE 76') | REACTION 

Paul McCartney has one of the best voices ever known. Versatility, power and extremely wide range

It’s funny because Paul has always been considered one of the best to do it, and yet I still think he is undervalued.

Simply the greatest rock voice ever.

Wings over America is so underrated. Luckily a whole new generation is discovering and appreciating it!

I'm always amazed when people are surprised by how incredibly good Paul's voice is. This is the guy who sang Oh! Darling and Helter Skelter in The Beatles. He is the man of 1000 voices. Just listen to You Never Give Me Your Money, he has about 5 different vocal styles _on one song_ !! But performances like this partly contribute to why his voice hasn't lasted as well as it might have. He thrashed his vocal chords when he was younger. As a singer myself, my throat hurts when I listen to what he does live sometimes 😂 He's still the best of the best though.

Paul McCartney is brilliant bass player which is often overlooked due to his many other talents but any bass player will tell you how fantastic he is

Paul McCartney is (was) able to do with his voice whatever he wants. He is really incredible and often underrated.

Paul is the best musician and composer, a living legend! 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️

There's a reason why he's considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time bro lol

He is brilliant --and a really nice guy

Paul is blessed with one of the sweetest voices in rock history...but his rock and roll voice is by far his best. Those early Beatle rockers he sang, he just killed it.

McCartney always had that voice. The most versatile of anyone (he displayed it during The Beatles era, too.) The largest range of almost any male singer, ever. Crazy good. Watch the rest of RockShow. It’s fantastic from start to finish. And I just finished a Wings deep dive. You won’t be disappointed. He deserves much more credit for what he did with all the versions of the band. Too bad they were in the shadow of The Beatles.

From McCartney and Wings, you might be surprised by 'Maybe I'm Amazed', which, imho, is the greatest love song of all.

This is, by far, the most amazing performance from McCartney that I’ve ever seen!!!

The whole Wings Over America 3 LP Live album is superb as is the film of the tour. Well worth a watch and a listen. :)

The dude is just incredible! Tons of great tunes! Hit after hit

In my humble opinion Paul has one of the best vocalists in music , his rock vocal s are one of the best sounding in rock doesn’t get the appreciation for them

He could do it all..never needed autotune..he's a master

If you think he didn't sound like this during the Beatles maybe you haven't heard "Long Tall Sally", "I'm Down", "Helter Skelter", or "Get Back". You might enjoy "Beware My Love", "Live and Let Die", and of course "Maybe I'm Amazed" from the live "Wings Over America" which was the LP from this tour. Another great rocking Wings track from a much earlier live tour is "The Mess" which was the B-side to "My Love".

IMO Paul McCartney was one of the best bass players of all time.

Paul is the Greatest Of All Time!

Sir Paul McCartney never ever lets you down. He’s 82 now and because of these gravely tone his voice has taken a hit. He’s one of the wealthiest musicians to date. He’s loved worldwide and is still touring.

The last song of the first show I ever went to.., I was just going into 8th grade and pretty much sat with my jaw dropped the whole time - heck yeah!

Saw the Wings Over America tour in 76, what a great time! 16 years old!

The Beatles were early rock and roll influenced by Little Richard, Elvis, etc and evolved way beyond pop and ballads. Paul could sing the sweet songs and make the girls swoon but he could rock with the best. Always charismatic and a true showman. Love all his music. Enjoy!

Paul McCartney had one of the greatest rock voices ever (including maybe the best rock scream). He could do it all; ballads, pop, blues, smooth type oldies and as you heard, rafter shaking rock. If you want to hear a bluesier type song with the same vocal intensity, check out Call Me Back Again from this same show in Seattle.

Frickin luv Wings...Paul McCartney is a beast!

Ladies and gentlemen Paul McCartney has left the building.

Maybe I'm Amazed, his vocal has a growl. I feel it is one of his best songs he wrote about Linda.

Paul is a brilliant musician and delivers some of the sickest bass lines. People truly underestimate him.

Paul was arguably the best Beatle and it was mostly because he was the impetus for their changing and evolving sound. He continued that path in his solo career. Of course, his writing and guitar playing can't be beat.

This whole three sided album *Wings Over America" is fantastic. Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar and Denny Laine on rhythm guitar (and sometimes lead), Wings was: Paul, Linda and Denny and then they added brass, drums and guitarists for the live shows. Paul can rock.

With all due respect, (and I do LOVE your reactions!) you have a LONG WAY TO GO before you even scratch the surface of Paul McCartney, with or without The Beatles! And that's not even addressing how much you still have to learn with The Beatles! This whole "Wings Over America" live show is just fantastic, despite not-so-great video quality! The "Wings Over America" LP is a keeper too! On The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" album, there was a Paul song called "Fool on the Hill", which showcases Paul's beautiful, melodic, "sweet" voice! But the cool thing is the song is about himself, and he refers to himself as "the man of a thousand voices". That truly is ONE of Paul's superpowers; He truly did have so many different vocal styles and tricks he used throughout his career. Don't know if you've heard it yet, but to get one of the first examples of Paul's "tough" voice, listen to the Beatles' song "Lady Madonna" For an even BIGGER dose of that, listen to their song "Helter Skelter", which is felt by many to be the prototype for "heavy metal" music.

When Paul was a kid, one of his inspirations was Little Richard. Paul had one of the best, most versatile voices in rock. Perhaps somewhat limited in that he came from the era before modern rock and often tended toward milder sounds. But they also did "Helter Skelter" and other songs that are commonly credited with taking rock into harder sounds. Paul liked distorted guitars and raspy vocals, right along with orchestral strings and choirs. While it was John singing lead on "Twist and Shout," you can tell the Beatles even early on had an appreciation for strained vocals.

Mccartney's voice is one of the greatest. He could screech, Shread, sing sweat, rock it out and do it all in the same songs! Listen to Maybe I'm Amazed.

A Paul MCCARTNEY CONCERT be ready for non stop fun. You will be exhausted. He entertains.

I had the great pleasure to attend the Wings Over America tour in 1976 in St. Paul. This was the closer. It is flat-out a banger, and one of Paul’s heaviest compositions. Love this song.

This particular lineup of Wings truly rocked. Lead guitarist (teenage phenom) Jimmy McCullough was granted a rare degree of freedom by Paul: He was allowed to improvise the guitar intro to "Soily" each night. Seek out "Wings Over America", the live triple album of this tour. Pauls's big, booming Rickenbacker bass is mixed front and center and he puts on a two hour clinic. (No muddy little Hofner on this tour - Paul came to rock!) "Soily" is the heaviest Paul gets outside of "Helter Skelter", but if you're a fan, like me, of Paul's harder side - wow! - there is a TON on this album to enjoy. I hesitate to even list the tracks, there's so many - hell - here goes anyway: Venus and Mars/Rockshow, Let Me Roll It, Jet, Call Me Back Again, Letting Go, Beware My Love, Live and Let Die, Medicine Jar, Hi Hi Hi.) Stadium rock was all the rage in the mid-'70's and Wings delivers. (P.S. Paul only does, what, 5 or 6 Beatle tunes? This is a Wings tour.) And, yes, Paul is criminally underrated as a rock vocalist. Great "screamers?" Cobain, Lennon, Morrison, etc. Paul is typecast as a softie, but I'll gladly provide a list of his screaming to all who may be interested. "Monkberry Moon Delight" from his solo "Ram" is quite possibly his apex, although I can also point you to some very surprising tracks very late in his career as well..

This was my first concert this was the encore song! No other concert has come close!

Amazing totally the best,listen all time truly Beautiful❤

Paul in the Beatles was certainly not "always such a soft sweet sound" - try Oh Darling and Helter Skelter, you might be amazed all over again (not to mention Maybe I'm Amazed, break-up era). But Wings were on fire in '76, Paul was a powerhouse, and Jimmy's lead work was just gorgeous...

This was a treat for me too! I grew up with The Beatles, and then as their solo careers took off, but I had never heard this song! There is a lot of really good music from Sir Paul and Wings!

My father took me to see this tour at Madison Square Garden. I was 13. I remember every incredible moment.

Shout out to who chose this song (I didn't catch the name, sorry). That's a real deep track. Loved it. Great song and great reaction. I think SlavoG is surprised with Paul's vocals here just because he didn't listen to the last Beatles albums yet (White Album, Let it Be and Abbey Road), when McCartney really rocks. Check Ram and Band on the Run too, for great solo McCartney albums, where all his sides shows up and shine.

Beatles helter skelter 1968 if you want to hear Paul voice rocking

This is from the Denver show in June '76, the version on "Wings Over America." If you listen closely enough, you might hear me in the background. ;-) It remains the all-time favorite concert I've attended. What a rockin' tune to end a fantastic show!

My first concert, Kingdome Seattle, 6/10/77

What?!?!?! How have I never heard this song??? Amazing!!!

If you want to hear more of what Paul could do when he was with the Beatles, check out why don't we do it in the road off of The White Album. Many more great songs by Paul McCartney and Wings as well.❤

Saw him in Philadelphia in '76 and this was the closer that blew the roof off the place. I had a friend who was a big Zeppelin fan and wouldn't listen to Wings if you paid him. But whenever he got in my car he would ask me to play this.

This whole tour rocked!

Jimmy McCullough on lead guitar.

I remember slow dancing to Let Me Roll It from Paul McCartney & Wings. I so liked the guy back then I ran right out and bought the album Band On The Run. Great memories. Love all your reactions!!

This line up of Wings kicks ass! Pauls bass playing kicks ass! The whole movie of this tour kicks ass !!!

This is one of my favorite Macca rarities. He could belt when he wanted to.

Get the live album " Wings Over America " for Sir Paul and the band being even better

This, in my opinion, was the peak era with Jimmy McColloch in guitar. Genius.

Paul live is one friggin' awesome experience. I've seen him 11 times, including the tour this was from. Saw him 2022 just a few weeks before his 80th birthday. The voice is not what it was in '76 but he's still got it!

Wow, what a shock for me! I basically ignored Wings because I thought they were always about mellow ballads and “silly love songs”. NEVER knew they could rock like this!!!! Man, I’ve been sleeping on this!

I never saw Wings in concert. But, in the early 80's their drummer Denny Seiwell did a concert at my college. Awesome! He has a discography himself worth looking into!

I actually saw them on the Wings Over America tour. The light/laser show was amazing for the time!

That scream is part of the song, not a random audience member! And yes, Paul could really crank it up (listen to the Beatles song "Helter Skelter" - sometimes called the first heavy metal song!). Paul didn't go hard on many songs, but when they wanted to, the Beatles and Wings in particular could really rock it out. FWIW, a lot of us who usually sing quiet songs like nothing better than to rock out occasionally.

Saw him in ‘73 - really wrecking his voice - just going for it!!!

Wings were so popular back in the 70s that almost none of the kids knew Paul for anything else (i.e. The Beatles)!

Yeah, it’s a stupid good bass line and infinitely better live than on the record. The ‘76 tour was phenomenal and worth watching the film “Rock Show” to see what a live show on that tour was like. Paul 4 ever!

Oh yes Paul was rocker❤

First time watching your channel. I was 19 when I saw this concert in 1976 at The Summit in Houston, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. That was an amazing song to close the concert with. That was the first time a laser effect was used, to my knowledge, and it looked amazing you would look up and see it above your heads, moving around. The crowd went wild. It left everyone wanting more and more. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to have experienced that concert live. I now have a Blu-ray of it and watch the entire concert over and over and never get tired of it. What a great memory.

I saw him in late 80s at RFK stadium in Wash DC. I’ve been to many concerts but he was the best. His Live Or Let Die performed in stadiums was the best.

Paul Mccartney not only heard his idols, he spent time with them and learned directly from them. Little Richard as an example. Listen to Long Tall Sally 1962 live or She's a Woman TAKE 7, and Paul was displaying the ferocious screaming that later became more common in Rock

This Wings line up from 1974 til 1977 was the tightest and most rockin.....to me!! With Jimmy McCullouch on lead guitar , Denny Laine on rythm guitar and vocals , Joe English on drums and backing vocals , Linda McCartney on keyboards and backing vocals , and Paul McCartney on lead vocals bass piano and rythm guitar.

Jimmy McCulloch was playing the crazy lead solos. Amazing live guitarist.

just love mccartney ...nineteen hundred and eighty five is another banger!!

That was incredible!

We can only imagine what the Beatles would have sounded like live in the 70's and beyond!

WOWWWW… I had NO idea!

Yeah, I'm surprised too. And I have a Wings Album. I like your laidback style.

Out of sight man awesome!!!!!!!

McCartney is one of the great rock vocalists and bass players. Wings Over America is one of the great live albums of the 70s. Macca at the heights of his live vocal and performance with a great band and set. Jimmy McCulloch on lead guitar.

Listen to Helter Skelter, Oh Darling plus many more from the Beatles, and Let Me Roll It, Wildlife, Helen Wheels, Live and Let Die, Jet, plus dozens more from Paul McCartney and Wings. Paul has at least a dozen voices, and can sound very different depending on what voice he chooses to use on each song.

That was great.

Paul is the most prodigious Beatle.

You missed late 60's Paul in the Beatles. Try Oh, Darling, Helter Skelter, Birthday, I've Got a Feeling and you'll hear a very different Paul than on your other Beatles listens.

Paul is a great vocalist. Try The Beatles' "Helter Skelter", "I've Got a Feeling" and "Hey Jude".

McCartney can do pure rock and roll! And no fan had heard this song until this tour and the album Wings over America. And he wrote this song in 1972.

I really got into Wings in the late 70's early 80's. In my view, Venus & Mars is an absolute Killer Masterpiece of an album...most certainly ranks in my top 5 of all time.

Listen to Paul sing "Why Don't We Do it in the Road" Stank face inducing.

As fan since rhe beginning, I have to say, your face and reaction to Paul is the most awesome I have ever witnessed!!! Welcome to the group!!!!

I was also at the concert in Houston at the Summit in May of 76. Fantastic concert. After that i saw him live 5 other times through the years. Best concerts ever.

Denny Laine on the double neck Jimmy McCulloch on lead RIP Jimmy

Great song for Paul's singing ability and totally rocking out is Monkberry Moon Delight!! Also, Wings back to the egg is a really good album.

What good choice for discover Paul in rock. "Monkberry moon delight", "Getting closer" or" spin it on" are other songs very rock before her solo career !...

It's funny back in the day we didn't think Linda McCartney knew how to play the organ because in wings over America video there are two organists I guess Paul just didn't want to put a tambourine in her hand Don't get me wrong I love the band Great reaction rock on

Medicine Jar from this show is also a banger.

Well Helter Skelter from 1968 White Album, is Paul’s jam and is heavier than this one I think!

The album " Wings Over America " has it all , rock , acoustic , middle of the road , couple of Beatles songs and a Moody Blues classic sung by Denny Laine. " Rock Show" is the You Tube version of the album....you will love it judging by this reaction

This is the same man that made Helter Skelter. Yeah, boy can rock when he wants to.

Some of the Beatles' songs that come to mind that show Macca's powerful rock voice: "Long Tall Sally", "I'm Down", "Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey", "No Reply (backing vocal)", "Drive My Car", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Helter Skelter", "Oh, Darling", and "I've Got a Feeling".

I attended the concert in Denver April 29, 1976 … not sure if we were treated to this song or not. But Live or Let Die was a trip !

Sounds like you need to listen to more McCartney! As far as Beatles go, and you wanna hear him sing more like this, check out Helter Skelter. There's a lot out there of Paul wailing!

Check out Paul McCartney and Wings' "Wings Over America' live album (1976) on RU-vid. It has this one and many more of Wings' biggest hits, along with some Beatles tunes.
