The Concert for Kampuchea (subtitled "Rock for Kampuchea") is a musical film from the best of the Concerts for the People of Kampuchea. The film was directed by Keith McMillan and was 4 nights of concerts in Hammersmith Odeon to raise money for Cambodia. The event was organized by Paul McCartney and Kurt Waldheim (who was then Secretary-General of the U.N.), and it involved well-established artists such as McCartney, The Who and Queen as well as younger punk and new wave acts like The Clash and The Pretenders. The film finishes with the presentation of Wings' Rockestra (more of 25 musicians playing together). Filmed in 1979, Concert for Kampuchea did not receive American theatrical distribution until it was picked up by Miramax in 1988.[1]

I was 19 that summer !

Sitting in the stands of the sports arena Waiting for the show to begin Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine A good friend of mine follows the stars Venus and Mars are alright tonight What's that man holding in his hand? He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when It's Silly Willy with that Philly band Could be, ooh-ee [Verse 2] Tell me, what's that man movin' cross the stage? It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page It's like a relic from a different age Could be, oo-ee [Chorus] If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw They've got long hair at Madison Square You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl We'll be there, oh yeah [Bridge] The lights go down, they're back in town--O.K Behind the stacks, you glimpse an axe The tension mounts you score an ounce--ole! The temperatures rise as you see the whites of their eyes [Chorus] If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw You've got long hair at Madison Square They've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl We'll be there, oh yeah [Bridge 2] In my green metal suit, I'm preparing to shoot up the city And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty It's a pity there's nobody here to witness the end Save for my dear old friend and confidante, mademoiselle Kitty [Verse 3] What's that man moving to and fro? That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low But they was louder at the Rainbow Could be, ooh-ee [Chorus] If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw They've got long hair at Madison Square You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl We'll be there, oh yeah [Outro] If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw They've got long hair at Madison Square You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl Rock show Long hair Rock and roll If there's a rock show If there's a rock show If there's a rock show

I have my Molly

This concert is not in Kampuchea, it was in London at a charity gig FOR Kampuchea. Get your facts right, basic stuff man.

This would have been a good time to go see Paul, back when he started back to doing some of his Beatles material. While he still had his voice.

Época da EVELYN

La mítica canción que ya tocaban en The Cavern y luego 7 años después en la azotea

I can still remember watching this McCartney special, I was 16 at the time and loving everything abought Paul and Wings.

One of the greatest concert opinings ever i was there!!!

Please please let Kamala Harris into the Whitehouse and have another concert like this. Xx

Хорошая и добрая песня,так что леннон и харрисон,вы были не правы.

Flowers in the Dirt was a terrible album But this song is good

You were blessed if you saw this show live

Paul was a guitar player who took up the bass for the good of the band, deferring to George and John. It’s one of the great things that made the Beatles so good. The bass becomes in Paul McCartney’s hands not just a member of the rhythm section, but another voice, so to speak, in the songs. He’s a genius composer but also a consummate musician.

❤❤❤❤

I can't believe I am here looking at these shows after all these years

Yes such a great song🎉❤

overplaying the hell out of this album to this day

this is just so good ...

I really like Paul McCartney for his songs and musicianship but I have to say that Johnny Burnett's version in 1956 is MUCH better than Paul's. Paul's version is a bit chaotic and Paul's voice is not even close to what it used to be.

Parabéns!!!

ROCK SHOW is Paul at his PEAK !!! Best Paul EVER!!!❤

Really great performance. I miss Paul having his voice.

The song the other Beatles hated. Guess what-look at the crowd!

Amazing!

At 8:03 …. that brief solo has to be the greatest series of notes ever played on a minimoog. From the notes using the A major scale and their order of succession, to the rhythm she plays then, to the settings on the synthesizer itself that give it that character it has using the low frequency oscillator set to track off the pitch, and the main frequency cutoff filter’s decay rate set at just the right time, and the 2 oscillators responsible for the overall tone and pitch of the minimoog itself… one of them sounds like it’s set using a triangle waveform 1 octave above the other oscillator Yeah… they are very complex instruments. Playing them is the easy part. It’s actually learning how the unit functions that Is an entire lesson in electronics, physics, wiring diagrams, and tone building models and procedures

i love those drum fills and that synth solo. linda rocked the synthesizers.

Te esperamos Paul Mccartney en Córdoba Argentina ❤❤❤

The double neck electric is EPIC 😎

McCartney and Wings RAWK!!!!!

Cantar pista

That Ska spin to this song is pretty cool

Wow!

Damn, the drummer really got me!

....ok stay there, don't go to France Paul...merci whatever that means, thank me ur land with lord..gfn

The "GOAT" of The "Musical" 20th Century!!!

Just shows how very brilliant Little Richard was, to have created this song!!! So glad Little Richard gave his life to The Lord, before it was over🙌

great band great album

Se posso dire la mia modesta opinione , la versione di Steve Wonder è molto bella , ma l originale aveva nella costruzione della canzone qualcosa che è stato ignorato ma che è il fulcro della stessa canzone , quando c'è il passaggio di ritmo , come se ci fosse una sospensione, in questa versione invece viene messo anche troppo , Credo che Battiato si sia ispirato proprio a questa canzone quando ha eseguito voglio vederti danzare ... Spero di essermi spiegata 😅

Must be one of the best ever songs,pity it was dedicated to the horrible gold digger

Jimmy Page 👍

Paul McCartney is my favorite Beatle and after Beatles

Love this song by the Beatles

Flea dijo que McCartney era el mejor bajista de rock de la historia, no tengo idea si será verdad, pero de que toca como un demonio, ni dudarlo. Tremendo flow.

in 1976 this was going on as well as Elvis , Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynnyrd were touring! how much great music can be produced in one decade? OMG! and concerts were cheap! like under 20 bucks!
