McCartney's voice is one of the most beautiful things in the whole music industry.

[@Bella-nt7ec]

the best yes. Always have goosebumps that big🍎

[@nikolai222]

Superb vocal, one of Paul's top five as Beatle or solo. Much more emotion than usual, fired by the devastating loss of his wife Linda. First time in many years I've listened to this. It's raw, beautiful, and heartbreaking. Cheers, Paul.

[@omid7905]

when 2 legends meet, Gilmour and Mccartney,speechless...

[@andreaschlapek9208]

Dont forget Ian paice on Drums!

[@exmagnolia]

That voice, man!

[@meloland5649]

I love when Gilmour sings with him.

[@nomo4u886]

Wish he would still perform this song

[@berntingelaupstad1869]

My Hero for all time....The best musican ever...

[@TT-lk9vv]

I love Rick Nelson but he recorded Lonesome Town to be a teen idol. Paul did it to grieve for his wife.

[@FendsLine]

...For all I know and read Ricky Nelson wanted to respected (also in the early days) as a RocknRoll Man like Carl (a man whom he adored) or Elvis. Like Elvis he was also a teenage idol and a idol in his time. He loved to sing this sad song untill he died in 1985 by the plane crash, written by his friend of the late 50s, Baker Knight.

[@zxccxz164]

it is nice it pays homage to underrated legend ricky nelson

[@mountaintyme2000]

Rick Nelson didn't record a single song in his career with the singular goal of becoming a teen idol. That label was applied to him for marketing purposes and it didn't set well with him. Guess you're not the Nelson fan you proclaim to be. Rick covered Billie Holiday for goodness sakes before he was old enough to vote. I'll take Dylan and Petty's performance just weeks after Rick died. That spoke to my broken heart.

[@jorgepuente1307]

Great, all great musicians [all stars]

[@tonylaughlin6663]

I think this was a favorite of Linda's. You can hear the emotion in his voice.

[@nikolai222]

Exactly. Thank you.

[@pdgiven]

I've been a Beatle fan since Love me Do but I've NEVER ever heard McCartney's voice sound so haunting... it seems to come from somewhere so deep inside him... it's magical with Gimour singing the lower harmony....

[@mammamags]

WOW...... I just can't find any other word to describe it ...

[@massimilianobusinelli73]

Marvellous... I'm crying...

[@razorsedge7100]

You are an honorable man for covering this Ricky Nelson song Paul McCartney.

[@EmmaPeelman]

Except that it wasn't a Ricky Nelson song. He sang - but did not write - it.

[@CT-iq1uj]

Fantastic feeling in this. Some people might prefer Nelsons version, but remember this is live and still amazingly heartwarming

[@tolliemitchell100]

They're both fabulous!

[@Jwhitspecialty]

This was also the concert for Linda after her passing, which makes this version even more incredible

[@hrishikeshnaik]

The Beatles on vocal, Pink Floyd on lead guitar and Deep Purple on drums. ...... What better can one get even after dying and getting to go to heaven?

[@nano31742]

@Daffa Hazza i thought so too. Funny!

[@LeedsunitedfanRyan]

I love both versions but I love the direction Paul took its not the original but it works really well the way paul sings it.

Paul killed it... like always! Great voice still.

[@EmmaPeelman]

Splendid vocals

[@howie_horace]

Run Devil Run by Paul is one of the best album of his

[@ivorydeath]

i love you paul

[@lalmihring7130]

his voice oof 👏🏻👏🏻

[@mountaintyme2000]

Well, that's a cover I never saw coming.

[@flyborg007]

Best version ever!

[@highgatehandyman6479]

Macca really takes this song into beatles territory here.. Flawless vocal perfomance like a studio recording. As if its a track on a beatles album.

[@nikolai222]

Exactly!

[@jeffj318]

Who knew Paul did this? So good!

[@chrisdudedurian1305]

This more jazzy rock take on the song hits super hard

[@JusticieroBurning]

Very Emotional

[@SleighJessi]

I noticed that he’s still wearing his wedding ring here :( poor Linda

[@sidneijosedossantos4552]

Sensacional!!!

[@hendrixano]

Amei essa versão

[@Erickchicas]

AMAZINGG!!

[@kentrailobserver37]

So emotional

[@captvictor]

happy Birthday Rick

[@nfldesdecero]

Awesome

[@freddyhazuki]

I love a Lot this song

[@lilyparis2138]

Ricky Nelson never dies

[@vincentl.9469]

I like the stage back drop

[@MartyMcFlyV]

This is great, but check out Ricky Nelsons original version.McCartney is awesome.

[@catnc1]

martin vaccaro I have heard Ricky Nelson's version. Yeah, it's good. I just listened to it again in fact. Still, I always prefer Paul McCartney's live version.

[@zxccxz164]

yup just lisented to ricky's version....much better.....

[@MartyMcFlyV]

@@zxccxz164 I guess usually I just like the original version of the song better. Accept Love Hurts by Nazareth is better than Roy Orbison in my opinion LOL

[@abhijit3271]

Rest in peace Ricky Nelson.

[@davidbourdon8967]

Ricky Nelson version forever

[@judybenyacov8326]

❤️

[@lhosbry]

Que massa!

[@tjokagungswastika882]

I like cavern perform version👌

[@marciocedro]

@omid7905 And Ian Paice???

[@BassicVIC]

Is that Jeff Lynn on drums?

[@colinmortimore218]

Ian Paice Deep Purple

[@polandsopotgirl]

I just can't stop listening to it! It's beautiful, moving... I have no words of my admire. To me McCartney's version of this song is better than original.

[@zekedog111]

Why is Paul older than me and I'm grey haired and he isn't??

[@comanchio1976]

Just For Men's: Autumn Sunset range

[@allthethingsaboutmemyselfandI]

Bc he can Paint his hair

[@taeylorbrooks8074]

This would have tickled Ricky!

[@JERRYDFINLEY]

Nice, but doesn't hold a candle to Ricky's version....

[@paddyb943]

It was nice of Paul to pay tribute to Rick Nelson this way. But his version pales compares to Nelson's.

[@CT-iq1uj]

Patrick Bickers "Pales"... You have to be joking.

[@jassygail7861]

Wow Brilliant:!! Always Any Song Macca Sings Is A Real Treasure:!! Really Blessed 2 Have This Man..The 1 & Only Sir.Paul McCartney.❤💋💋❤

[@zxccxz164]

agree

[@kyannos]

Luv the beatles to no end, BUT Ricky owns this song !

[@mountaintyme2000]

No, there are better covers. I love Paul but this doesn't suit him.

[@manojkrishna8839]

No need to scream so much! Ricky Nelson's rendition is better. 🙂

[@mikepeters1319]

I love Paul McCartney but I think Ricky Nelson did the song Best

[@Sixstreetdisciples0420]

Paul is not really playing the bass in this video. What his fingers. He’s faking it. Cause it’s not Paul, it’s Faul. Paul died in 1966 in an automobile crash.

[@carlosarturosousagarridole9361]

Hit single by Ricky nelson... ruined by Paul McCartney...

[@renkagamine4227]

original was better

[@Aderin.]

He wasnt trying to do better than the original he tried his own style
