Paul McCartney is the greatest musician on this planet. Every other musician wants to meet him. If all the great musicians we’re in a room together and then walked in Paul McCartney, all the energy in the room would turn towards him.

McCartney is the engine that drove the Beatles. The bass player who inspired so many, including my personal rock idol, Chris Squire. What an inspiration and always uncompromising, but humble.

Paul is class personified.

Isn't a that treat? Two Paul's in one night. The audience didn't see that coming.

I love how Les kept the money lmao

Paul's the man, but he makes those around him feel like they are

Paul--always a gentleman, always humble in the way he carries himself. I love the way he is just there to compliment, pay tribute and respect, and then sit down to listen. I also love the way he can plant two kisses on Les Paul's face, before and after, his little tribute. He is a man who is in touch with his emotions and manly enough to show them....and manly enough to sing the countless "silly love songs" that he's written because he's so integrated and well-balanced as a person. Props to you, Sir Paul!

Paul makes me cry because that was so touching.

[@seric4546]

I love this, Old Les even looks a little star struck.

[@pschroeter1]

Wow, how great must you be to earn a kiss on the cheek from Sir Paul McCartney.

Paul's story relates to the Fox & Hounds pub in Caversham, which is about a mile away from me as I type this.....

Wish I had been at that performance! Les Paul and Paul McCartney in a small club setting? Wow!

[@josephtabar492]

What a class act Paul McCartney given tribute to Les Paul.

[@54spatula]

How lovely was that??!!

[@paulsimmons5726]

THAT!... was one of the best back stories I've ever heard! Classic!

[@paulbartell8872]

That was a class act from Macca. Respect.

[@keithfisher8670]

A great clip, I can watch it over & over. You gotta love McCartney's line: ".. before we got the band together.." Also, the reaction of Nicki Parrott in the background throughout, she's just lovin' it, especially when Les Paul gets the royalty payment.

[@6stringwood]

Wow! My two favorite "Paul's" on one stage. What a kind soul Paul McCartney is to remember the man Les Paul in such a touching way. Great vid! Thanks for sharing this!

[@estarling8766]
