Paul McCartney - Hey Jude Live at Hyde Park

#PaulMcCartney #HeyJude #paulmcCartneyreactions
Live at Hyde Park

[@artistjoh]

I remember the day this song came out. When the Beatles released songs it was not like other bands.he radio stations would play the songs all day. When Abbey road was released it went to number one at the instant stores opened. The only people who got copies had pre-ordered weeks before. When the Hey Jude single came out it was the same. It sold 8 million copies. I came home from school that day, I had a quick afternoon tea, then listened to the song on my transistor radio while walking over to the dairy for milking the cows. Because it was such a long song I got in trouble for walking slow and being late for milking. We always had a radio on during milking, so I got to hear it several more times, but I have never forgotten the experience of that song as I was walking to the milking shed. It is burned in my memory, the damp red soil, the emerald green of the grass with waterdrops, the misty rain clouds slowly lifting, the smells, and the sounds of cows and dogs, and the motors of the milking machines warming up, and the song on that tinny little transistor in the air, and Paul McCartney’s message to John Lennon’s son.

[@durbanpoison1485]

Thanks for making younger people get into the Beatles.

[@WorldwideWyatt]

This is the song that made me fall in love with music. Nobody will ever top the Beatles.

[@b1LL1eMc]

The Beatles started it AND they finished it! No other band has been as great as they are! As Paul said, they expected this thing to last about 10 years... but just keeps going and going! No other band has ever been as successful reaching so many different generations. I would actually say that if this planet lived for eternity, every generation (from their beginning onwards) would know and love their songs forever!

[@stevenhuffman752]

The Beatles greatest band ever

[@PedroHenrique-zr6ck]

True 🤩

[@halfalligator6518]

yeah hard to deny. I love Floyd, and Radiohead, Neil Young, Beach Boys and a lot of more weird modern underground stuff... but Beatles were just so phenomenally good. They captured the critics and the common peoples hearts both. Just such strong melodies, emotions, a sense of fun and zero fat

[@robertreichle1]

I'm still in shock that I got to see Paul in concert about 6 years ago. I might not ever get over that. He did nothing but hits all night. A nearly 3 hour concert with his best solo and Beatles songs. No opening act. Just Paul. So good.

[@cherylalt101]

Robert Reichle you are so lucky!

[@michaelconverse5127]

My then 7 year old son and I saw him in 2017. It cemented him as a 4th gen fan in my family. I was a little skeptical due to the price but it was worth every penny. Paul could sit home and count his money or half ass it through concerts but he didn’t. He played like it was he still had something to prove. Amazing and if you haven’t seen him, I’d highly highly recommend it once things open back up. His audience is of every age, color , religion etc.

[@wilfbentley6738]

I had my first "slow dance" to this song over 50 yrs ago. It was a transformative, memorable experience. . . obviously.

[@robinreiley1828]

I have worked a number of Paul McCartney shows over the years, mostly Steel Crew and as a Production Climber. You will be pleased to know that Sir Paul's Road Crew loved working for him. Anything they needed to make the tour work better, they could ask Paul directly and he would take care of it. Unheard of in Rock and Roll tours, Paul gave his crews 2 raises on at least one of his World Tours. To stand on stage with Paul, waiting to start the Production Load Out was one of the high points of my career, having listened to the Beatles since the 1964 Ed Sullivan show.

There is nothing better than being at a Paul McCartney concert! He plays to a packed audience ranging from kids to his original fans from the 60s. Everybody is feeling the love and having the best time. I took my son and granddaughter so they could have this experience. Both are Beatles fans because they heard me playing Beatles songs while they were growing up. My son said I had this big smile on my face that he had never seen before. I told him that smile is for Paul and me just feeling pure happiness at being there. Love Paul McCartney!! 😊❤️🎵

Paul wrote his for John Lennon’s son Julian, after John divorced Julian’s mom and Johns firstbwife Cynthia to marry Yoko Ono. John said this was his favorite Paul song from the Beatles. When they performed it in 1968 it was not only one of the most watch events of TV, it was he final time The Beatles performed live on TV.

It's a shame that reactors have to worry about being blocked. If I was an artist whose music was as timeless as this and all the other ones you reacted to, I'd be honored! I mean, here's today's young people who did not grow up with such an aray of different musical expressions, keeping it all alive by listening to it and showing us older folks just how much you appreciate it!

He is great and for me when Paul passes that will be the day the music dies although his music will live on forever there will be a sadness in my heart.

A UK number one back in 1968, this almost typifies the Beatles at that time stretching beyond two minute pop and engaging pure emotion. Paul was always the voice for this, understanding the release that positive music could bring to a crowd. Interestingly, he shares a birthday with my brother.

[@crazy4beatles]

I've seen him in a dozen cities, 3 countries and without regard to place, people were just in awe of him. I was supposed to be seeing him this June in Barcelona a day before his 78 birthday. It's been over a year since I last saw him and miss him and seeing my little group of friends that travel for his shows.

[@TangoEliott]

I saw the Beatles in 1966, Wings, McCartney (about 5 times) for a total of 7 or 8 times. Never disappointed. He has lost most of his voice due to age and over use but he still puts a long, wonderful show on and he loves it. He is part of the greatest musical act of the 20th century and they will never die. He is an international treasure. Love you, Paul.

[@patriciaburroughs]

We went to a McCartney concert a few years ago and believe me--everybody was singing along to EVERY song. It was amazing! Also? Some of their early hits like "I Saw Her Standing There" had people dancing in the aisles. Old school dancing in pairs. My favorite was a very classy lady with grey hair dancing with her teenaged grandson [or so it appeared]. Just a fabulous experience.

[@kahuna754]

Paul's emotion is what makes the song so great. This song and another Paul lead on, The Long and Winding Road are my two favorite Beatle songs. Number three is another Paul lead on, I Saw Her Standing There.

[@edwardmeradith2419]

One reason this is one of the greatest of Beatles songs - it was written for Julian, AND it was written for John. “You were made to go out and get her” and “you’re waiting for someone to perform with” and the beautiful sentiment: ‘Don’t carry the world upon your shoulder’ In one of the last interviews, John claimed as much, saying something like ‘that’s the angel in him blessing me and saying ‘go’ but the devil side didn’t want me to go’

This was written in 1968 by Paul McCartney as a comfort song to John Lennon`s son Julian. John had just left his first wife (Julian`s mother) and Paul wrote this in his car on his way to see Julian and his mother. The clip is taken from Paul`s concert in Hyde Park London in front of 60 000 people (sold out) in 2010, and the concert was streamed live on youtube.

This song was written for Julian Lennon.

[@yellyman5483]

That is true. Paul wrote this for Julian after his dad John had left his mother, and moved out of the house. Paul went to see Julian and his mother after the break up, and he wrote this in the car as a comfort song for Julian.

[@Rick-or2kq]

Thank you, that did not know, but when ever I hear this I think of Julian and that for along time his father did not have time for him.

[@haraldversteegden2562]

No, Julian was the initiating inspiration, what was happening was splitting up, John Cynthia, Paul and Jane, and they had hopes for themselves, but to the real victim there had written an Anthem....which is this......pain, dispare and some hope in time

[@behsidvdydu6521]

I do think that Paul was more of a father back then to Julian than John was but at the end of the day, Julian lost both of them when his dad left. Paul stopped comforting him after a while and John just didn’t see him as often as Julian would have liked. Julian said in an interview that it’s always awkward whenever he and Paul are in the same room together and it’s probably because other than John, Paul was the dad, but he “left” as well.

Love, love, love this song. I can’t believe he’s playing on an upright! There is an iconic video of them performing on an Ed Sullivan type show where Paul is at a noticeably banged up upright surrounded by the band & audience members. I wonder if he wanted to recreate that. The studio version is outstanding as well.
