The improvised french horn is the best part of this enchanting rendition

[@user-AllenE]

It’s really amazing how he was able to do the French horn so accurately. George Martin probably just dictated it to sheet music.

[@thefonzkiss]

@@user-AllenE wtf, this is from the 80s. The original was done in 1966. He’s more than familiar with the horn part. Alan Civil played it on the original recording, George Martin wrote it.

[@ewest14]

⁠@@thefonzkiss George Martin did not write the horn part. There’s two stories but either way Paul wrote it. One story is Paul sang it to George and he wrote it down on paper. The other story is Paul played it on clavichord. They can both be true or maybe just one is. Either way, Paul came up with the horn part and he was the one who requested it be a French horn as Martin has said

[@cuebj]

@@ewest14 Strictly speaking, Paul would not have written it as he didn't read or write music. He'd have strummed it, hummed it, and, eventually, George Martin would have transcribed it for the classical music French horn player to play it. It was at the extreme upper limit of that instrument range

[@KebabMusicLtd]

@@cuebj Being creditted as a songwriter for any piece is not dependent on you actually 'writing the score down on musical script.' If I sing an original song whist accompanying myself on the guitar, and as I am singing the song, I indicate what instruments I want included and how I want them to sound, then I would be the creditted songwriter. It doesn't really matter who transcribes the music to the music sheet, the song and its copyright belongs to that person who first introduced the concept of the song to the world. This was clearly recorded and filmed a long time after the song was originally introduced in the studio, so it would seem that Paul is re-enacting how he first introduced the song to George Martin.

[@philiphearn9297]

Imagining being the first person played a song like this by Paul. All you could say is ‘Yes Paul, you have written one of the greatest songs of all time’. Simple yet sophisticated, timeless but revolutionary.

This is from the Give My Regards To Broadstreet OUTTAKES. Paul was testing the songs they would record for the movie....he's sporting his whimsical 1981/1982 hairdo (as seen in the video of 'Coming Up' from his 1980 solo album)...and George has his flowing mad-Stravinsky hippie hair [something he would have never entertained while working for EMI in 1966. Abbey Road had strict rules for employees about how they were allowed to dress].

It is 2 yrs. later I'm scrolling down reading & occasionally seeing various comments about when or where this is happening lol knowing that someone had surely seen Broadstreet. :) Was starting to wonder but knew as soon as I typed it in someone (here you are) did. lol Awesome tune. One of my top 5 Beatle (Macca) tunes. Yes, George finally cut loose. :) Seeing those 2 together, looking young & vital just makes you feel better. I'm 58, have literally lived my life listening to Paul's voice. Saw him 4 1st time last August in St. Louis. Almost a 3 hr. show. It was by far the best concert I have ever attended.

So often we see so-called "rare" videos on youtube, and they are not particularly rare or interesting, but this would genuinely deserve the title (even though it doesn't claim it). So glad we have the internet to preserve great moments in history, such as this, which have otherwise been buried. This is both a great performance of one of the greatest songs ever written, but gives an invaluable insight into the composer's development of it. Certainly, the final product on revolver is "great", but after all the production we are left wondering "What did Paul start with?". Now, we have it!

My life and heart was totally broken for a long time. Later on, I came across this masterpiece again, and with time, the tears shed were less and less, whenever I played it. I find comfort in it now, probably because it is one beautifully sung, played, and accompanied by some master classical instrument players, and the rest of the Beatles, song, that will ever outlive all of us for generations to come..

It blows my mind that we, and I’m referring to Paulites, have the pleasure of essentially doing PRECISELY what we always do when listening to this-his epic masterpiece; we sing all the parts of the record! But doing it with the man himself, as he does the same thing…it’s priceless. this is the greatest video ever. When he sings the French horn lead, it’s like…YES!!! He sketches out the arrangement as he plays and sings it. The guy is hands-down the absolute greatest genius of this or any period of music. I place him above the greats of classical and pop music. It’s a bold statement, but those dead guys didn’t impact every moment of my life. They certainly have enriched my life! Particularly J.S. Bach. But the one human who affected everything, and who’s been with me since I was 3 years old, is Paul McCartney. He’s very clean.
