Paul McCartney & Wings Venus and Mars Extended Version

[@MrChopp3r]

Who else is listening to this on 2024?? Sounds just as good today as it did back when I was a teenager in the 70s

[@Jaanukka]

2024❤

[@puellads23]

Me, liked it when i was 18 and still now i am 46 😊

[@shack8110]

This reminds me of my beautiful late mother. She loved Paul.

[@BillDeWitt]

How I always wished it had been presented.

[@johnnyv.5142]

The 'Wings Over America' concert at the Forum in L.A. was one of greatest rock shows of all time!

[@thekingsservant1793]

I'm a big fan of McCartney....this one is one of my favorites because he kind of captures space, which is really cool.

[@lunatic720]

I agree “space”

[@fiorellamonarty7249]

Beautiful song ❤❤❤❤

[@eric7922]

indeed, Gary Wright and Steve Miller capture space in similar fashion...

[@seattleday9690]

Venus And Mars be alright tonight.

[@thekingsservant1793]

Anyone who can make space, the feeling of it, into sound representation is tuned in....

[@PorcelainSubmarine]

paul is the dearest musician to have ever graced the earth.

[@jtf2dan]

Memories of being a teenager when this came out.....getting high and listening to this without a care in the world......thanks for being a part of my life and making it so damned good!

[@ForgottenMan2009]

Yea..This was my favorite post Beatles song from McCartney but always felt that it was unfinished. This was a nice move to heal that.

[@Ukraine_Rocks-OK]

Surreal. Golden age of Paul's... He, Linda and Dannie are forever in my childhood memories... Love Wings

[@shack8110]

Hello to everyone who has great taste in music.

[@MadisonCollieUwU]

I wish the first part would be the overall sound of the entire song. It’s sad but beautiful at the same time.

[@Mina-ok5qm]

Yeah like the first line was the best. The sound, the tempo of the lyrics. Just all the way through but this was still great

[@christopherheinig5590]

Love In Song is also a highly underrated masterpiece ballad as is You Gave Me The Answer.

[@ZoydWheeler]

Famous Billie Holliday fave jazz standard called But Beautiful

[@ginareddish2730]

Yes....I feel the same

[@EricXXXtheLesser]

Na...it’s hopeful, ethereal, wonder inducing...

[@LucasOliveira-xg9ec]

Lyrics: Sittin' in the stand of the sports arena, waiting for the show to begin Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine A good friend of mine follows the stars Venus and Mars are alright tonight Standing in the hall Of the great cathedral Waiting for the transport to come Starship 21zna9 A good friend of mine Studies the stars Venus and mars Are alright tonight Come away on a strange vacation Holiday hardly begun Run into a good friend of mine Told me her sign Reach for the stars Venus and mars Are alright tonight

[@suzycat2026]

These lyrics always conjured magic for me when I was young , they still do! 🙌🏻🎵 " Come away on a strange vacation ~ Holiday hardly begun Run into a good friend of mine ~ told me her sign Reach for the Stars ~ Venus and Mars are alright tonight " Let's hope Mars at home in Aries for 6months into January 2021 will not spark any wars , only passion , creativity & love ❤🐱♏☯️🌌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@eric7922]

indeed, it’s a complete song in its own right and a favourite to plink-a-plink on the D28 around a campfire at sunset

[@jamesfair4315]

This has always been my favorite song and to have the extended version added to it makes it all the greater. Paul's melody is beautiful and guitar is the greatest.

[@barbaratea4701]

Absolutely dreamy takes me to a good place ✨️ 💕

[@RonRinaldi]

At the time i expected juniors farm to be included in the venus and mars album..but what a album...rock on lovers everywhere !!

[@willliammaymay1402]

What an album for us to enjoy. Never be duplicated. Venus and Mars are all right tonight. !!!

[@leecook3797]

Fantastic piece of music,timeless, great to hear again 😎🦍👍

[@5t66t5]

I loved these two songs when the album came out and I remember wishing that McCartney had made it one song. My dream has come true 42 or so years ago. Well done thanks for doing it.

[@JohnSmith-io5iw]

Wow and this continued version is really good

[@9codyboy]

I grew up listening to this....Best part of the album IMO. Love it all but this is my favorite tracks!!! Hard to get better look how happy Paul and Linda are... So Fing COOL!!!!

[@scottsteel4230]

Paul was so happy with her. I don't think he's ever gotten over her.

[@davidacosta5470]

I can remember piling into my friends small bedroom way way back in the 70's. We were smoking some herb and I remember that this song was playing with the strobe light and I thought it was just the most beautiful thing, still do after what, 45 years or go? Glad I found this posting, thanks Peter van der Ham! Aloha!!!

[@scottsteel4230]

I had two hanging globe lights in my room that became red and yellow after I heard this song.

[@shack8110]

Hello to everyone who has great taste in music.

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

Beautiful. I wish this was in Spotify

[@davidpower8239]

Excellent. Such a great song - I've always felt that he rather threw it off merely as a short Intro' (both to the album and to the song 'Rock Show') - and really never made the most of it. Wonderfully atmospheric...

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Only McCartney could have written something as good as this and then simply used it as an Intro . Anyone else would have made it the longest track on the album. And then released it as a single. Simply : guy's a genius !

[@phillipsmith7759]

Remember those days of harmony. Lovely..even in 2022.

[@lunatic720]

“So very beautiful “ is quite the understatement for how I feel ❤️💙💜

[@shack8110]

Hello to everyone who has great taste in music.

[@Zorn76]

I guess I needed to shed more tears today

[@simonmartin4482]

best version ever

[@stevenb4399]

This is by far my favorite McCartney album - Venus and Mars. Just love the opening to this and how you merged the parts together. I play this album from time to time and it just makes me realize how great a songwriter he was!

[@michaelsaucedo3458]

*he is

[@robinhembree4101]

Venus and Mars. Every song. One of the rare gems from them days!

[@dirtylemon3379]

Paul frequently put songs twice on the same album. Sgt. Pepper, Ram On, Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Winter Bird. I always liked that trick.

[@mfadhilirawan1545]

This songs is always is in my head

[@davidtworoxsundancer]

Nicely combined, Peter! :-) I've always loved The Wings' "Band on the Run", and "Venus and Mars", both albums in their entirety. For me, the best of Sir Paul's Post-Beatles band period. I used to play in a band at the time "Band on the Run" came out, and we "tortured" the neighbors next to our rehearsal space by playing "Band on the Run" (the title track), over and over again, very poorly. LOL! But they were all good sports and took it in stride. :-) Now, a measely 40+ years later, I'm working on a few "Thank You!" albums, to... well... say "thank you" to those who inspired little me on my musical path. "Venus and Mars" is definitely going on my "Thank you, Paul!" album, which will probably have to come out in at least three volumes, as there are so many McCartney songs that inspired me. Again... thanks, Peter, for this wonderfully "merged" track! Live long and prosper! ;-)

[@sibrengroen4467]

Loved reading this comment!!

[@peegeezee1604]

Macca at his best ❤️

[@dennisg.liebman1155]

Love it, simply love it!

[@MarkKaiflerWright]

Beautiful combination of two separated halves...I never thought that i would live to be a 100 ( Moody Blues ) More please...

[@ColtraneTaylor]

I love Wings and Moody Blues both.

[@ericbeaulieu4843]

Brilliant work Peter.One of the best sound collage-works I have ever heard of this song .Beautiful .

[@TSO77]

Love the whole album.❤

[@sashek8451]

Mars and Venus do the cosmic kiss thing tonight. This song just feels right. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@suzycat2026]

Great to hear them together this way! Thanks to my good friend who studies the Stars for pointing me here 🤗♏♌♉🌌 These lyrics always conjured magic for me when I was young , they still do! 🙌🏻🎵 " Come away on a strange vacation ~ Holiday hardly begun Run into a good friend of mine ~ told me her sign Reach for the Stars ~ Venus and Mars are alright tonight " Let's hope Mars at home in Aries for 6months into January 2021 will not spark any wars , only passion , creativity & love ❤🐱♏☯️🌌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheBeatlesfanyeah]

THANK YOU ✌️❤️❤️❤️ I could listen to this extended version over and over.

[@mawsjumbler]

Me too.

[@bjmcmahon722]

Same here....

[@GrummanBearcatF8F]

Exactly what I do !

[@maxcomeausinger-songwriter3248]

I especially love what you did with the finale! Very, very nice work!

[@raptsullivanstew1919]

This is awesome. I’m psyched that you put these together. One of my all-time favs, but I’m not always in the mood for “Rock Show” Although it is a great tune.

[@jamesnoble8205]

Rock Show has some bizarre and dumb lyrics lol

[@JayJay-xd5lm]

Always loved this spectral opener . Has me spellbound throughout. One of Maccas deep ,deep cuts. First heard it at fourteen, knowing little of the backstory. His voice seemed to be coming from a divine scource ..or whatevs. Growing up in the Seventies , he was constantly maligned by music critics and seen as a lightweight compared to Lennon. Certainly in this country, Music Papers held great sway. By the time of ' Ye Olde Punk Rock ' His very name alone had become a pejorative . To even refer to him without spitting could get you beaten up by a passing Sid Vicious or even an absolutely fuming Siouxie Sioux. Of course things were way more tribal then. And of course everyone wore hats .

[@JayJay-xd5lm]

Divine or whatevs.

[@patsyleeoswald9912]

Excellent mix. Thank you!

[@shack8110]

Thanks! Always sing this at the top of my lungs, but when split they are too short.

[@raulmendez2775]

What a great idea to have this option! I like these songs very much and finally have them together because of you. I really appreciated. You did a great job.

[@christopherheinig5590]

Beautiful thank you for continuing combining these brilliant songs into & even a greater song that I've always been longing to hear ! Thank you again all the best !

[@diligenceintegrity2308]

I dig the combo but the reprise is better. This is a classic example of why simple can sound so good. The human voice is the sweetest instrument. This LP played a lot on my turntable in 1976.

[@charlie-obrien]

Venus and Mars was my sister Mary's favorite album. During 1975 and for about 2 years afterwards, I could hear the whole album playing from outside her room just about every night.

[@dalexkom]

the first part brings you to the outdoor concert waiting getting high with your friends watching the sky ..cool

[@shealdedmon7027]

I gave it a like. That's the best I could do right now!

[@philipastore5647]

Beautifully rendered Peter made my Wk. I'm an amateur Astronomer too-- great tune like Band On the Run 1973!

[@juliancotillo1]

very good!!..i love this song..

[@rodneyevans7279]

Nice work, this is a beautiful mix

[@jennyconnatty7635]

Sweet...' whistful... written during that less dark time.

[@MrFloydlost]

Band On The Run, Venus And Mars, Wings At The Speed Of Sound. The best Paul McCartney ever. Peter van der Ham, come on, make a nice extended version of any of those albums. Be nice and do it for us. Thank you.

[@mistafab9405]

Great work..and I love these two tracks..so Spacey!

[@RCMather1980]

Nice work. It's a pity Paul didn't release a complete version in the first place.

[@colltutor07]

Wonderful and extended even better.

[@debraanderson3383]

Love this version great job!

[@leesykes861]

Thank you for posting ... great mix.

[@ejames6431]

The best band ever!

[@Duglor1]

I made this same version back on college on my cassette. Intro song combined with reprise song. Be well. :).

[@ADRIANAGARCIAable]

Beautifull❤

[@ddb61brougher98]

Watched Jupiter and Mars together in the predawn sky today - 01/06/18 - made me think of this song, the reprise. I really enjoy what you've done with the graphics and pictures.

[@revjimbob]

I watched them too, every dark morning as I took the dog her morning walk.

[@aml9295]

i've never been able to see certain planets with the naked eye.

[@shack8110]

Hello to everyone who has great taste in music.

[@pepelegal321]

Que coisa linda. ficou perfeito. parabens. amo. pra mim, depois de Band on the run, foi o melhor album.

[@vjr4763]

This is fascinating what you have done! Bravo!

[@alankirk5953]

Timeless, thanks Peter.

[@leesykes8087]

Peter ! ... great mix / version. Thank you for uploading.

[@garylockhart526]

Pure class.

[@anythingghost]

Great work, Peter! I love this song more than just a segue, and you put it together!

[@cashyallen9074]

thank you so much! this version you created is perfect and will be used at my wake. along with video of my place of birth (Lake Forest Park wa.) "north Seattle"

[@joem.2561]

This version is the way it should have been recorded....just saying.

[@hippiegypsygirl]

Exactly! The vibe is utterly destroyed in the famous version

[@billmay7364]

Great song. Nice job with extending this jem.

[@jamesrufert3622]

My favorite from Paul.

[@mulk2112]

Great song(s) and great remix!

[@rupertmundy]

Outstanding job!

[@billypilgrim5329]

Outstanding job

[@Brsbeach]

Thanks so much- I LOVE this song!

[@lindadonofrio8314]

Perfection

[@fiorellamonarty7249]

RIP DENNY 😢

[@franciscoespinosamagana7658]

Hermosa canción

[@paulclalchungnunga2052]

Always love Mc Cartney's songs tbh

[@grapefruitjuice9473]

Definitely he's a great musician

[@degunter2009]

Realy nice version!

[@herothecrow994]

I was hoping someone would do this at some point. I adore Venus and Mars, but it transitions into Rock Show way too quickly. I only wish the reprise kept the piano, that was my favorite part of the first song.

[@ashokrajaratnam9731]

Fantastic

[@michaelcooper9493]

RIP Denny .

[@juliprive]

great job !!

[@richarddeese1991]

This is one of my 2 or 3 all-time Wings favorites. I like your version even better - nicely done! Cheerio! :) tavi.

[@mawsjumbler]

Hey, thanks so much! I love what you did!

[@R_Jackson]

Thank you!

[@jesusfreak1628]

Nice! I'm glad you took the liberty.

[@jaewok5G]

perfect

[@GiulianoDiButi]

Fabulous

[@СергейСемиков-ц2б]

это один из лучших альбомов пола маккартни. очень простые мелодии, но при этом богатейшие вариации. ну и конечно непередаваемый тембр голоса.

[@peterfish8619]

thanks Peter, very cool!

[@garycotter5511]

Got a real groove .

[@revjimbob]

Well done

[@charlesradel7587]

very cool indeed

[@堀江正彦-c3q]

ヴィーナス　アンド　マーズのロングバージョンがあったんですね。ポールの数百曲ある作品の中でベスト3に入ると思います。曲名のとおり何か宇宙の広がりを感じます。魂が銀河を浮遊し続けているかのような永遠を感じます。

[@m.e.d.7997]

Good song
