Paul McCartney 'Coming Up [Pure McCartney VR]'

[@VinnyDrysdale]

One funny story he told about making of the video is that, when he dressed up as Beatle Paul, the crew suddenly got excited and started asking for his autograph etc. I think it really hit them between the eyes who they were working with.

[@scronch_]

[@fredwest1656]

The reason the crew got excited, was because the ORIGINAL Paul WAS actually in this video. We aint ALL as Blind & Dumb as you`d like to think, Eh Billy?

[@questioneverything-rf3yf]

@@fredwest1656 100% true, he's hiding right there in plain sight. At one point, he gives the eeriest look to the camera, almost as if to say "look closer, it's me".

[@Smooth0vibrations]

William Wallace Shepard the greatest actor of all time hands down

[@Smooth0vibrations]

@@questioneverything-rf3yf Really lol, I checked that moment that is 100% William in makeup he is saying "Look closer, it's NOT me" that was the point of that scene you misinterpreted it lol.

easily one of my all-time favorite videos ever. paul playing everyone and linda singing backup with her fictional brother larry.

This is awesome! It's like I'm actually there with Paul! Great song, always loved it!

[@gabrielal1364]

seriously, my heart hurts when I listen a Paul with a super soft voice... however, i remember inmediately he has sing for almost 50 years so it's so understandable his voice sounds like that. We can enjoy all your legacy anyway, WE ADMIRE TOO MUCH PAUL! one of the best persons of this world

[@sandraandrews9907]

To hear Paul's explanation of how he assembled this was amazing!! RIP Linda ☹

[@leokimvideo]

Thankyou Totally awesome, never knew the drummer was based off John from Led Zep, nice indeed. I thought the drummer was based off Animal from the Muppets

[@Danimal1577]

Hahahahah!!! Animal rules 🥁💥

[@andrewcalvillo7071]

Woah it’s the dark side toys dude! Been years and I find a random comment of yours

[@EddieVBlueIsland]

I thought it was based on Mic Fleetwood - who makes alot of faces in playing in fleetwood-Mac.

[@WhiteCamry]

I thought the drummer was a combo of Ringo (playing cross-handed (yes, he's a lefty like Paul)) and Ginger Baker.

[@AdultThirdCultureKid1971]

@@Danimal1577 Animal rocks!

[@FionaAppleAddict]

Happy as fuck to see Paul live this saturday! :)

[@SuperBigDog2U]

I loved Wings. It really showed in the music of Wings, how happy Linda made Paul feel. Their love made some great music. So sad her passing.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

I was introduced to Wings before I learnt of the Beatles. BTW, this song was NOT released under the "Wings" banner but under his own name.

[@SuperBigDog2U]

Didn't realize that. Linda was still a part of it though. Linda just seemed to make everything he did better.

[@SuperBigDog2U]

I grew up hearing Paul more in Wings as well, but appreciate The Beatles as well. Wings was just a better format for Paul I think, being with Linda made it better.

[@dimitreze]

Coming Up it's not from Wings.

[@Oesterreicher94]

Wings played live versions of the song in '79, though. Paul released it as a single and on McCartney II in '80.

[@melaniesmith2917]

Love this song. Also, love that this was the song that inspired John to get back to writing and recording. ( i think there were probably a couple oblique lines in Coming Up for John)

[@MrMikecd1]

Great background of a great tune! The live version from Glasgow has always been a fave also, but that whole McCartney II album is Fab!

[@marcfoster6685]

Greatest One Man Band Of All Time! Love You Paul!🤓

[@michaelparanormal]

Thanks Paul for all the amazing songs you made over the years , your a legend!

[@markpickardlife]

I still love that song!

[@VinnyDrysdale]

I used to think the Hank Marvin character was Buddy Holly since Paul's a fan and owns his catalog. Also, I've only seen Hank Marvin in recent years; not from his Shadows days.

[@Danimal1577]

Hank Marvin and The Shadows were amazing 🤓🎸❤️

[@skeeta1068]

I only learned that it wasn't Buddy Holly a few days ago when I looked it up on Wikipedia.

[@beatlesloversprims]

I LOVE YOU MACCA

[@ju210169]

Brilliant!

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Indeed. This song (although not a great song in itself) shows Macca's talent to the extreme. However, I find it difficult to believe he played the saxophone parts himself?

[@ju210169]

the song is really good! and i think howie casey played it

[@debjorgo]

It's one of those new things called keyboard sax. It looks quite different from the one he's faking in the video.Howie Casey and Thaddeus Richard play the sax on the live version.

[@timothymcdonald6913]

Just looked in tonight. Sir Paul I have been a fan of the group you once were in since somewhere around my tween years in the early to late 60s. The albums where packed in by my older brother who was in his early 20s by then. He was 11 years my senior and I was born in 1957. Do the math Sir! As I was a dreamer of sorts and still am, but have managed to adjust to the hard realities of making ends meet, the spark is still in me. For you and your band mates/partners for a period of time I offer a heartfelt Thank You for the music that all of you produced. To George and John; Rest in peace. You all altered the world as we know it. Thank You.

[@MichaelFG]

He played all the instruments huh awesome 😎 coming up!!!!

I think this song got Paul out of his "Silly Love Songs" phase. So glad he's telling us how to make the vid with just two people ......This is in E flat! Is that because of the saxes used?

I heard somewhere that John was really impressed by the video for Coming Up, and it made him want to start recording again.

[@TroyJakubiec]

"Somebody asked me what I thought of Paul's last album and I made some remark like I thought he was depressed and sad. But then I realized I hadn't listened to the whole damn thing. I heard one track - the hit, 'Coming Up,' which I thought was a good piece of work. Then I heard something else that sounded like he was depressed." - John Lennon, All We Are Saying, 1980

[@justsayin502]

Apparently 'Coming Up' was the one song that got John recording again. I think John just thought, 'Uh oh, I had better get working, too.' - Paul McCartney
