Paul McCartney - Listen to What the Man Said | Wogan | BBC1 20/11/1987

Music now for this Bonfire Night and here's Paul and Linda performing a Wings classic 'live' on Wogan back in September 1987. Sounds very Ob-La-Di... to me! Was hoping it would encode to HTML5 but didn't for some reason.
No doubt it'll soon get 'blocked' by something ludicrous like Bollocks International Airlines Ltd etc but make the most of it whilst it's here!

This is one song from Venus and Mars that really takes me back in time . The best days of my life actually .

[@sesamestreetclassicmusican2278]

This was the first song from Paul that I heard at a barber shop with my dad.. I was 5 in 1976... I miss those days...

[@michaelbruns449]

Beyond all shadows of doubt whatsoever, Paul McCartney is a once in a century, literally a one every hundred years instrumental and lyrical and vocal genius, i mean like musically beyond savant level for like sixty years now.

[@greenjedi8]

Once in a millennium talent!

[@spicydaddy2526]

"I just play the notes that are good friends with each other" the dude doesn't even sight read. Theory is useful, but this remark should make musicians rethink our approaches and priorities. We all have lots to learn from McCartney.

[@StephenDoty84]

Ever see the video of Paul teaching piano in only 5 minutes? It's amazing how simple it seems to him. @@spicydaddy2526 Trivia: Bob Dylan said he was only in awe of one Beatle. Which one?

[@adriantomlin2902]

Once in a lifetime talent.

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

Love it ! We will not see the likes of him again

[@AccurateCrabLegs]

This songs reminds me of when I was employed as a private chef for a very rich and eccentric inventor that lived on a luxury yacht docked in Lake Erie in the summer of 1991. This song came on the radio one day and the inventor asked me "Who is the man in the song? Listen to what WHO is saying what?" I quickly replied "It's you. He's singing about you. YOU are the man in the song." He thought about it for a while and then let out a loud and hearty laugh. He eventually went to prison for fraud and I think he lost his fortune at some point.

[@leecoulson4224]

Now he gets to listen to what the Man says every day in the big house!

[@brendadrumm9451]

Not will say too much know someone now doing time for fraud several yrs it catches up with them best clothes cars etc and was still saying hello to me as he got his free prescriptions at the Dr's for his son who has special needs

[@mrsbluesky8415]

Great story 😂

[@carlbaumeister3439]

The man could cut diamonds with that voice!

[@sidneydavis9827]

I can never understand how this man could write the most corniest songs I've ever heard, but yet I love them so much they can't be denied!

[@michaelbruns449]

Silly love songs...

[@yummyyum36719]

Because he's honest in his expression, which is all anyone can ask. Tons of his Beatles songs are corny too. Michelle ain't exactly punk ya know.

[@miltonyannis3719]

It's the music, and how it relates to the melody. The song would be just as enjoyable if he were to sing it in Swahili!

[@gerrycoyle9151]

His song 'Silly Love Songs' touches on that very thought,

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

i love a lot of his songs but like you said, many of them are quite corny. He actually recorded Mary Had A Little Lamb. I think "Bluebird" from Band On The Run is my favorite of his solo songs.

[@Kimians]

That guy is so talented. He sings lead vocal as well as harmonies with the lovely Linda. All at the same time!

[@Yuglooc]

Paul in his solo prime. This song is like a scrapbook of that wonderful time in my life as a kid. The spirit of the song so represents the mood of the mid '70's. People were enjoying themselves.

[@josephbartolotta4330]

MCartney had hits every decade since, he is a genius!!!!

[@skygazer6898]

This takes me back.........Good song and there is the lovely Linda

[@jameswyer772]

I think Pauls voice was at his all time best in this era. It’s just so beautiful.

[@jonburrows2883]

Great song, Paul looking cool and the lovely Linda. Perfect

[@timothybradley7414]

Paul always has a great sound to his songs.

[@jonathanlafrance8643]

The Wonder of it ALL BABY!

[@moneywelder]

I'm glad they found each other in this crazy world. I believe they truly loved, lived and laughed at life.

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

One of the 1st songs my brothers and I heard growing up in the 70's. We had the 45 single...great stuff

[@Karksoncat]

Purely irreplaceable.Just feel proud you're witnessing this inspiring era. . And Wings.

I have fond memories of listening to this song on my little portable radio when I was 13. This song still holds up well.

[@josephbartolotta4330]

Go Paul...this song takes me back, He had top ten songs every decade.

[@gilbertescobedo9712]

Been a Beatles Fan since I can remember in the 60s. But after the break Up, Paul has been my favorite after the Beatles. Love his music. And yes his voice is not the same as it once was , but so many great songs he has given us in his lifetime !!! . .. .

[@jonathanlafrance8643]

Love this Song! Major VIBE! Takes me BACK! This song sits on is a MAGIC CARPET

[@flashtheoriginal]

I recall this show, it was a special with Paul and Linda. They were clearly so dedicated to each other, what a gift. LTWTMS is a Wings classic, thanks for sharing - and Tel was a great host, in fact a gentleman. Listen to how he says "thanks Paul, thanks Linda" - he means it

[@user-ex5gp2di3p]

Soprano saxponist is amazing !!!

[@itsenid]

He looked great then too. Before crazy Heather Mills and all the hair dyeing. Naturally aging. He was probably quite happy with Linda and his kids. Amazing entertainer. There will never be another Paul.

[@timothybradley7414]

McCartney always has a great sounding song. He has an ear for what song good.

[@suestephan3255]

A musical genius

[@mrsbluesky8415]

I love Linda’s dreamy background voice. She definitely added so much texture to Paul’s sound. Rest in peace ❤

[@charlescrisp2814]

this is a great performance of a great song

[@gutgolf74]

This is mostly playback.

[@iconicshrubbery]

@@gutgolf74 how can people justify these comments...?

[@obsidianobserver]

because its obvious playback? There are only 2 vocalist on stage, which were Paul and Linda, but the harmonies heard in the performance were clearly done with multiple voices.

[@obsidianobserver]

besides, most live performances you see on TV are pre-recorded anyway, albiet sometimes they used live vocals. An example of this would be Nirvana's MTV perfomance of Smells Like Teen Spirit, i believe
