The concert footage featured on the standard edition of the set was directed by Paul Becher, who has overseen live visuals for McCartney for over 200 performances. The performances were shot in high definition using 15 cameras and digital footage incorporated from 75 flipcams handed out to fans over the course of the three night stand. The audio mix, in both stereo and 5.1, was handled by longtime Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick .the song in this video is Blackbird .I think that you will appraise it .
A stadium of people silent to one man and his guitar... says something really.
same thoughts
Their idiots
Music connects. Music speaks to all. Spoken by the masters. Aka THE BEATLES....Blessed to be alive at the dawning of the greatest collection of music speaks.
I saw him at Yankee Stadium around the same time and the peanut vendor thought it was a good time to try to sell peanuts. My normally calm husband yelled at him Shut up! Its Fucking Blackbird!! Lol
Acdc
One Man and a Guitar mesmerized in a 10s of thousands. Paul’s voice, his acoustic guitar, and absolute silence for the performance. They wanted to hear every note! This is a very special man.
Considering that he (and the "lads") have been famous for more than 50 years... it's just not that surprising. I heard "I want to hold your hand" about 1963, and life has never been the same. My sister is of the Elvis generation, I'm the Beatles. They changed so very much. I think more than Bob Dylan, but I won't argue that point.
Bang on point never bores me it just gets better with age the man the Beatles class is something your born with and that band and the man are a class act
meh. Beatles suck.
@@pnolans you're right. Music was good, then Beatles came along and music started to suck.
These people love music.
When he is gone I will be devastated, it is so great to have him and Ringo still around to listen to and hear their reflections. The Beatles essentially started the year I was born and I fortunately had some years of enjoying them as a group before they broke up, a day I will never forget. But their music lives forever
Funny Brian, I was listening to McCartney earlier this evening and thought the same thing. Been listening to them since their inception in the early/mid sixties. Their music has been with my wife and I since then as I was introduced to her the day the Beatles had their first US TV Special on the Ed Sullivan show in Feb 1964.
@@marykuettner752 Thank you Karen for your correction.
@@marykuettner752 I think most people know what I meant and I will be honest with you I actually did not know the true meaning. So thank you. Is that better
@@marykuettner752 I usually do but I admitted in this case that I actually did not know what the exact meaning of that word was. I am educated, but that is a word I never used in my entire life. I only knew of it’s existence from Roosevelts speech after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I always believed it meant history not an evil act.
@@briansalisbury4764 I don't usually bother correcting people but after all your praise I knew you didn't think the Beatles were evil and it would be better to change it to what you did mean.
the way his standing... He's never changed.
@@randomuser964 shut up asshole
It’s Magic 😻
He's a national treasure
My god his voice is gorgeous. A lifetime of sharing musical genius with the world in every nuance of his voice.
this man is a LIVING LEGEND🤣🤣🤣
One of the best musicians that ever lived
nobody does it better than sir Paul
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise
It was The Beatles response song, about the black female students, who were refused to be let in to their school. Paul was reunited with them. As Ringo says Peace and Love xo
Just a beautiful song!❤
Excellant
What is it with this man? All his life playing just standing there like he is standing in my living room( I wish) lol...playing this song maybe for the zillionst time live in front of massive filled stadium..and always something magical happens. He hasn't changed a bit, still that boyish charm while he tells a story about him and George as teenagers, wich could have happened just the other night...except 55 or 60 years earlier!! So relaxed and supercool!!!
Mankind was greatly blessed by the music of the Beatles!
love the song and really enjoyed Paul's story about how it came to be.
In front of thousands, the man can entertain you with just his voice and his guitar. Note the place goes silent when he starts...
Just makes me happy every time i hear
Hard to believe Paul is 70 in two weeks time. Keep going Paul!
79?! Wow
@@hewhoyeet4953 😲😱
He is soon 80.
80 in 10 days!
80 with 2 days
What a beautiful song. Lyrics are so sweet. ❤️ 🌹
What a beautiful song. Love u 💙
Paul McCartney black bird classic song from the sixties good song fifty years old still sounds good now
If your reading this be grateful you lived in a time of this great man and what he and his three mates gave to popular music live love and leave a legacy (THE BEATLES) they done it
My favourite Beetles / McCartney song. At 51 now, this remains my favourite for over 40 years. Who knew that the words and meaning were about racial liberation 💕
*Beatles
absolutely
That Blackbird has freed millions of people over the years. A simple song that is eloquent and timeless - it is a classical piece of our time.
Of course, we all know that he wrote this in response to the Civil Rights Voting Act in the USA. Brilliant! Listen to Jon Bastete's version, , as well
The Beatles were simply my life…they brought me my fiancé David. It’s the love of them that forged our union…..❤️
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
amazing man, adore him unconditionally, talented to the moon and back :)

THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN WHO BRING HAVENLY MUSIC TO EART
The absolutely insane thing about this video is the only other "complicated song" I ever learned on guitar and can still play it is Bach's Bouree in E Minor which is what Paul way playing on intro. The Universe picked Blackbird as the next song to learn having no idea Paul got the idea from Bach. I see music in an entirely new light now as I get how he made the transition. He is brilliant.
I love this song ty
oh, to have been there!.. hear McCartney sing it live.. the vibrations of the notes, the resonance of the words, the feelings of the people..B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L ❤😊🇨🇦
I was in grade school and didn't really grasp it until it was over. But I still have the memories, the anti war movement led by John and the streets of New York were shut down from all of the people, and finally it was stopped in the spring of 1975.
@@gargould7186 WoW! Amazing to have those memories ...
I remember my childhood.😢 there's this familiar feeling of listening this again 🥰🥰
Paul has sung this song maybe 6,700 times. I think he has finally got it.
he sings so much better than many modern artists now.
Ummm NOT!!!😅

Facts, Most of Modern Artist now are nothing without Autotune
I was at this show with my sister, had a heck of a good time. Funnily enough he talks about both he and George having a party piece by Bach to show they knew how to play the guitar, i often use Blackbird as a piece to show that i too can play the guitar.
.. thanks for sharing your anecdote about being there (in a weird way, because I bothered to watch/listen to the video & read your comment, feel I was there too, somehow) .. & about how you play Blackbird as 'a party piece', to show others you can play..it all comes full circle. Thanks again...
彼がジョージとバッハの曲を演奏していた話私も面白かったです。この会場で聞けたなんて最高ですね! 私は去年ギターを習い始めて、今blackbirdを練習しています。少し弾けるようになってとても嬉しいと思っていたところでした。 フレッドの上を軽やかにステップを踏んでいく感じがとても好きです。
Always loved this song. Even as an instrumental
Turning 70 in a few days! Hope I’m doing as fine as Paul is at 70! Woohoo! ❤️🥰
Why can't music in our generation be like this?
If you're talking about lyrics, there are many songs with meaningful stories to be told, but I don't believe we'll have another band that'll top Beatles. Wish I grew up around the 60s/70s, so many phenomenal musicians that I would rather support than these sell out rappers/pop artists.
Industry
People that still keep music like this alive are out there, too bad you'd have to search hard to find it...
@@Assasain31 Only problem is if you grew up then like I did "born in 1951" you would be an old man now
Problem is there's too many obstacles like social media and globalism that tends to diminish and blends people's dreams and thoughts together. There's also the whole adrenochrome aspect. Some people are drinking baby blood to stay on top of things and keep the world under their control whilst others have no idea.
Brilliant performance...the way he speaks to the thousands of fans, like he is sitting in his livingroom...👍🏼👏🏻💯
To me, Beatles came from heaven & people went crazy all over the world. Their music showed they were great composers & the Band gave us so many songs....that cannot be compared to any other band ever since. Years later, Paul McCartney made more songs..'til these days making presentations all over the world. God Bless the Beatles..!
Thank you Sir Paul McCartney ⚘
0:32 We used to have like a little party piece to show people that we were not quite as thick as we looked 😂
Come on he was from the 40s😂
this should have 1 million thumbs up, cmon!
Simplemente la perfección en Música, para disfrutarla,...
Thank you, all the peeps of my type existing and cherishing the classic song
Tears me up listening to this legend and their incomparable music. Reminds me so much of my late parents. They can tell me stories about beatles for days.
Happy 80th 🎂🎉🥳 birthday to you Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE. Thank you for making this world a better place with your 👋 great musical genius. God Bless you even more today on this your 80th birthday. 🙏😊
It's amazing that four people with those talents could just meet up so randomly. Torvill and Dean and the Beatles show us what Macca means, whether he knows it or not, when he says God speaks to us through music and art. Such talent, such chance meetings in what amounts to the middle of nowhere.
Волшебная мелодия и восхитительно исполненная песня! СПАСИБО, PAUL, за сказку!
My favorite McCartney song.
Sir Paul McCartney ❤️
As an 60 something years young and I have great memories of the greatest singers and song writers of my life. Including the greats who came before them. So happy I grew up with all of them. 1959.
So thankful I had an sister who was 6 years older and fighting for peace ✌️.
53 year old man and this song makes me cry ever time I hear it. ❤️
One of the greatest..ever
Paul is a legend!
Just love this song
Musical genius, Sir Paul.
First I knew that beautiful song from the movie 'I am Sam'. That combination is perfectly heart touching...
Song I heard - “heard” it for the first time while in the emptiness part of my life- Listen to the words. This was another part of God’s plan to bring me to Jesus Christ. He calls through us even through secular songs
Legend
Love everything about this song, everything. And it's taken me 50 years to say the same thing about Paul. "GET BACK" documentary by Peter Jackson really changed my mind. I never appreciated that Paul was the genius, and humble at that.. John and George and Ringo played their parts, for sure, but Paul...I am so glad he and Ringo are still with us. Oh and please search for JON BATISTE playing and singing this, bringing Paul's vision of BLACKBIRD to life in the 21st century!
what a voice !
John writes about peace George writes damm catchy music Ringo writes about his friends Paul writes about classical music
The song isnt about classical music lol
There needs to be a "LOVE" button! /heart explodes
Goosebumps. Everytime.
Love it, love him!!❤
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
Master of Master
Sir Paul should become a saint.
I am just overwhelmed with the talent for composition and guitar playing of this guy...
Like an arrow through my heart! 💔
Acá estoy escuchando esta hermosa canción con el corazón roto y cayendo a pedazos me siento acorralada sin esperanza sin fe sin siquiera ayuda a quien pedirla y me aferro a la vida gracias a esta canción gracias a Paul. A su voz al mensaje que nada es eterno y que volaré pronto con mis alas rotas a un mejor lugar y donde sera mi casa y estaré feliz
Espero todo haya mejorado para ti en el último mes
man.. I cried with this exceptional piece...
Genius!!!!
I really want to cry.... So beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ok, first post ever. I listen to everything. Rap, Rock. Electrontic. Classical. Country. Whatever. Some songs though are just magic.. Seriously, it's almost like he's casting a spell when he plays the notes.. It's nearly impossible to not feel something when you hear it. His hair floats on a gentle breeze and a placid fog rolls into the stage during it. It's perfect.. Too perfect! LOVE it!
Such delicacy. Transcendent.
I love the way classical music was incorporated into their music. Neil Diamond also based his songs on classical music classicalclassical music classical
Such a good story
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
One of my all-time favorite Macca songs. Love it!
Beautiful
Absolutely brilliant
Love this song! Been playing it for more than 45 years!
What a beautiful person!
God of Rock n Roll right there
fantastic performance by paul
AMAZING
What an amazing musician.
I love the part where the audience all realizes at once what song hes talking about and start cheering
I teach guitar and so many students ask to learn this. I love to play it here and there too. Shuts up a noisy audience instantly. If I bumped into this legend I'd say thank you. Learning to play this improved my own playing.
Oh, Paul.......I'm FLYING WITH YOU NOW!!!! Thank You!!
greatest of all time
I FEAKING LOVE HIM!!!!!!!
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
Fantastic piece, and the old man is still up to level.
Precioso recital! Gracias por estar siempre! Acompañandonos a todos desde el corazon!
Pure happiness!! Pure bliss!! Perfection!!
Absolutely brilliant my hero and part of the best band ever
I recently saw an interview with Sir Paul. He said this song was written to a black young woman. In England a “bird” means girl or young woman. The song takes on new meaning knowing this. There so many beautiful, black, young women in the world. 🫶🏿🫶🏾
his voice at this concert was so good!
We love u Paul, forever.
Thanks for posting this video, God bless you.
Amen to that. Time goes so fast, I hope we're blessed to have em around for a long time to come. :)
Paul is a legend: D, he is an artist that despite the years is able to satisfy the musical needs of people of all ages, and I think this is the most important thing, satisfy public opinion: D (Paul è la leggenda :D ,egli è un artista che nonostante gli anni riesce a soddisfare le esigenza musicali di persone di tutte l'età , e io credo questa sia la cosa più importante ,soddisfare l'opinione pubblica :D )
Wow. This is classic!
