1:39, no pressure or anything, just Paul McCartney judging your guitar playing.

[@danielhackman3259]

They're the best musicians all of them great stage presence all of them and they've all had their amazing hit songs

[@fireman42126]

@R Mackenna if I am correct that was Robbie Robertson

[@phuongbuddy]

That's an honour 😂

[@Colsoloact-po9wv]

Was a bit of a shit solo mind but redeemed himself at the end! LOL!!

[@pppkmtd]

That is Jeff Goldblum wearing glasses. :D

[@hari3mo]

The amount of legends on that stage at one time is crazy

[@markr8326]

Letting Robbie Robertson take the guitar solo was also crazy.

[@brendashotwell1405]

Never thought I’d be seeing this..at my age! I remember when the Beatles crossed the pond over here! I was in 5thor 6th grade! All of ‘‘em came out of the woodwork!!! Life was amazing, still is! Thank you all❤❤❤❤❤

[@13exxonp]

From someone who wasn't around during the Beatles era it's such a privilege to watch McCartney Peform

[@debrabugay6575]

Paul is a gift to this world. I adore this man.

[@davidedward2352]

It must be a strange feeling seeing people go crazy for some ideas that came out of your head one day! One of the greatest songwriters ever..... And so much written in less than 10 years.

[@lorensmith4111]

TODAY..PAUL MCCARTNEY. .AND RINGO....ALIVE IS A PRIVILEGE. .....TO HAVE..THEM WITH US ..WITH A GREAT SPIRIT. ..AFTER TO PLAY FOR US SINCE 1958..I'M REALLY LOVE IT. THANKS PAUL THANKS RINGO......

[@abelincoln3261]

Watch in 2023 I'm a child of the 60s .. what had happened to us... We need each other more now then ever! Don't let it be... Make it Matter... Seek Peace Love & Understanding. We can do better ... So let's do it.

[@BethLeslie-w8j]

I hear you. One child of the ‘60’s reaching out to another. Peace.

[@TheBluewaterBlonde]

I heard a Paul McCartney interview on the BBC and he was speaking about his mother, whose name was Mary, and she actually spoke the words "let it be" to him in a dream, to help ease the pain he was going through then. He woke up and wrote this song.

[@elliotportner8020]

The message is simple and carries with it the assurance of peace

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

McCartney is looking at Robertson like, ".... ok, is that yer solo, then?"

[@calisongbird]

😂😂😂

[@cdtorrestx]

Problem is the lyrics were off so the guy was put on the spot. As a guitarist he tried to do as many appregios and bends in order to make it not sound improvised.

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

Ha, yeah the band is a mess. All rock star supergroups are usually awful. One exception being the Harrison tribute concert.

[@POLKATURKEY]

Cos that was all orchestrated by Andy Fairweatherlow

[@FlashingRoomHQ]

Traveling wilburys. dude?

[@blinkerz4676]

In the beginning I was like "I dont remember this era of Mccartney, he kinda looks like Billy Joel. Huh, must be the legendary pianist-singer look" and then Paul walked on stage and my jaw opened very widely

[@karenstorey3866]

Amazing, 50 years ago the Beatles performed this song. During this pandemic this song is so applicable. Globally we are single minded on finding a way to eliminate COVID-19. Thank you for this song and encouraging us to finding "words of wisdom" and that "there is a light that shines on until tomorrow and there will be an answer...let it be, let it be..." Thank you for showing us that collaboration (not fighting) is the key to our world's success.

Great song my aunt loved them rest is peace aunt sug love 💘 you

[@katelynkatelyn7789]

Paul Mccartney was always right he has worked his way up to my heart and he was always right there's an answer to everything especially bad things and there's only one thing that can be done is to let it be and move on in life when there's been sad sad times like what happend to Paul. Its even hard for him but that's what he wants us to do and we can get through it.

[@anitahuie1145]

I love this. Great job , guys. Love every one of you.

[@strictlykev311]

Paul isn't used to not having an instrument in his hands. He doesn't know what to do with his hands 😂

[@haileyrijgersberg6366]

55personen 54 de eerste keer 67

[@ignacio7789]

HAHAHAHA, SO TRUE

[@Nimrodsland]

no question it might have been a rather unusual role for Paul - but to be honest I do not want to be anyone of the musicians he looks at very closely playing every single note there... they all know that he would play them to hell with half of his left hand if he'd just had some piece of wood with one string on it in his hands

Theyve been immortalised through their music. I mean your listening to let it be in 2014? Thats proof =)

[@alohamedina276]

Bono showing alot of respect for Paul

[@allymayful]

Coming across as care and concern, cos they weren’t expecting him to join them. He had only recently lost Linda his wife. Plus he had had a bit to drink. It brings me to tears every time l watch this. There’s a lot of love on that stage. Humans at their best.

[@martasena6497]

Great!

[@nycinstyle]

McCartney always said "Let it Be" is about his mother: McCartney: "The other guys were all living out in the country with their partners, but I was still a bachelor in London with my own house in St. John’s Wood. And that was kind of at the back of my mind also, that maybe it was about time I found someone, because it was before I got together with Linda. So, I was exhausted! Some nights I’d go to bed and my head would just flop on the pillow; and when I’d wake up I’d have difficulty pulling it off, thinking, “Good job I woke up just then or I might have suffocated.” Then one night, somewhere between deep sleep and insomnia, I had the most comforting dream about my mother, who died when I was only 14. She had been a nurse, my mum, and very hardworking, because she wanted the best for us. We weren’t a well-off family- we didn’t have a car, we just about had a television - so both of my parents went out to work, and Mum contributed a good half to the family income. At night when she came home, she would cook, so we didn’t have a lot of time with each other. But she was just a very comforting presence in my life. And when she died, one of the difficulties I had, as the years went by, was that I couldn’t recall her face so easily. That’s how it is for everyone, I think. As each day goes by, you just can’t bring their face into your mind, you have to use photographs and reminders like that. So in this dream twelve years later, my mother appeared, and there was her face, completely clear, particularly her eyes, and she said to me very gently, very reassuringly: “Let it be.” It was lovely. I woke up with a great feeling. It was really like she had visited me at this very difficult point in my life and gave me this message: Be gentle, don’t fight things, just try and go with the flow and it will all work out. So, being a musician, I went right over to the piano and started writing a song: “When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me”… Mary was my mother’s name… “Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.” There will be an answer, let it be.” It didn’t take long. I wrote the main body of it in one go, and then the subsequent verses developed from there: “When all the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.” I thought it was special, so I played it to the guys and ’round a lot of people, and later it also became the title of the album, because it had so much value to me, and because it just seemed definitive, those three little syllables. Plus, when something happens like that, as if by magic, I think it has a resonance that other people notice too. Not very long after the dream, I got together with Linda, which was the saving of me. And it was as if my mum had sent her, you could say".

[@chrishall2594]

considering that lennon and McCartney co wrote this song when they weren't sober, we don't really know how much is about what.

[@nycinstyle]

"Let it Be" is a song written entirely by Paul McCartney. Just as it is with all Beatle songs, any song written by either McCartney or Lennon when they were in The Beatles or both Lennon and McCartney when they were in The Beatles is attributed to Lennon/McCartney (both of them). The two of them agreed that they would do this from the very beginning when they first formed The Beatles (after Paul joined John's group. followed by Harrison, then Starr).

[@balam1951]

Maybe Paul McCartney is the person in the legends of R'n'Roll with the best actitud. Icluding even Elvis. Paul is simple the best

[@EthanAnthony907]

+palmiro endrigo John Lennon

[@lizmcquade9857]

+palmiro endrigo ..You comparing McCartney to Elvis? You are nuts.

[@EthanAnthony907]

I know right. He wasn't even the most talented or charismatic Beatle, much less mentioning Elvis lol. Paul was always the cute face in this band but not the soul of it.

[@EthanAnthony907]

scottyrocks9 you must be trolling. Elvis didnt need to play instruments very well because his thing was his voice and charisma. John Lennon was the song writer for the beatles. Even John says it himself after him and paul had issues that the only thing he wrote that was any good was the song yesterday lol. Elvis was the king, paul was the cute little beatle that didnt have talent in the band. You must be trolling

[@guyguy5827]

+blackelk7373 You don´t know what you are talking about. Paul wrote equally as much as John and was equally as talented! As a lyricist You can argue that John was better, but Paul was a better instrumentalist. When it comes to Elvis, he didn´t write songs, but i agree that he was a great singer and had a lot of charisma

[@roman14032]

robbie choked on the solo paul shouldnt have stood there stareing at him, it freaked him

[@telecasterbear]

at 1:29 the band fell apart and missed the part before the solo, so the frame work was gone.

[@Sugar7076]

telecasterbear you beat me to it - but everyone held it together like true showmen (and choked down how crappy it was)

[@metalhead9727]

Magical!

[@CaptainCardsworth]

I like that Clapton gets billing in the title (when we literally only seem him for 1 second) but Billy Joel (who actually sings part of the song) is I guess relegated to being part of the "others."

Hahaha! Stella rocking in the audience at 3:53!

[@yoya4766]

Paul looks like a regular guy, whilst the other artists have a 'I'm a rock star' air about them. Yet it is Paul, the down to earth, unpretentious, unassuming guy who is the most successful song writer of all time. So often those with the most ability have the least airs and graces. And wannabees have the most.

[@victoriannecastle]

Eric Clapton is there Paul has more songs under him but Eric is a great songwriter too

[@chrisfillmore5901]

You must have forgot about Billy Joel.

[@omeletpants]

That guy? LOLOLO. His name is Robbie Robertson and Bob Dylan once called him the most efficient guitarist in the world. Robertson and Clpaton duel on Further on up the road on the last waltz concert. Granted this wasnt Robertsons best performance but he is great

[@porotosExiliados]
