While I'm happy he has great sponsors and he must be proud of having been selected by Macca's record company, it does make me wonder if Band on the run really IS Mr Bennett's favourite Macca solo track. I would have expected him to go for a slightly more obscure album track like, Junk (1970), Mistress and Maid (1993) or Distractions (1989).

Venus and Mars hit another level, and the touching "Treat her gently-lonely old people" is a tender insightful masterpiece. Add in Jimmy's "Medicine jar", and you have the typical contrast of emotions that McCartney eschews, going back as far as Golden Slumbers which is in very much the same vein, and pulls the listener in multiple directions. Just brilliant.

I remember watching The Beatles as a 9, 10 year old on the b/w telly and noticing that one of them was holding his guitar 'the wrong way round', because, of course, he was left-handed. ...Like me!! They sounded great and Paul was my favourite, of course, and I'm watching and listening and thinking, "I want to do that!" Inspired by Paul, I got my first acoustic guitar for my 11th birthday. My Mum & Dad strung it left-handed for me, that night. They knew nothing about guitars, but they managed to figure it out. It was absolute murder to play, but I was going to play, one way or another. Well, I'm 63 now and that was over 50 years ago now and I've had a life full of music; being in various bands, teaching to youth groups and now still playing and teaching privately. I truly believe that Paul McCartney is probably the most prolific songwriter, ever. He's still doing it. Not for the money, but because he has a genuine love of the music; a love which I have also shared, my whole life! Thanks Paul, for the inspiration!

OK if you had to pick just one song, it's between this one & Maybe I'm Amazed. But my fav Paul _album_ is McCartney II with its 3 super-introspective songs and its inventive, unusual synths all over. And his "most influential" 2 albums are probably McCartney - which inspired a generation of home-recording artists - and Ram, which today many will credit as a founding document of the Indie Pop movement.

You have to add McCartney II into the list of most influential albums. It has been just as influential as the other two you mentioned

"Ram" hit #1 in the UK and Canada and #2 in the US. It was a very successful album, though some critics at the time didn't like it, it seems. But the public loved it. (And we still do.) There's not a weak song on the entire album. Which is amazing, if you think about it, because The Beatles had three songwriters. But Paul carried all of Ram (and Band On The Run, of course) by himself.

Honestly, he may have as many great solo songs as he does songs with the Beatles. But part of the reason artists are artists is because they have insecurities like everyone else, but they're just able to write about them better and set them to music.

Awesome sponsorship! I hope to see the day when Radiohead and XL Recordings decide to sponsor you as well! 😀

People knew in the 1960s... that a lot of the Beatles songs were primarily by John or Paul. This was well known before they broke up. McCartney wrote classic hits in his first solo LP (before the last Beatles album was even released). "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Every Night" and "Junk" are all great tracks... and the first two could have easily been big hit singles - had they been released as singles. Paul's first released singe ("Another Day") was #1 in Australia, Ireland and Spain. It was #2 in the UK, #3 in Denmark and Norway, #4 in Canada, #5 in the US, #6 in Germany and Japan. His second single ("Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey") was #1 in the US, Canada and New Zealand. His first album ("McCartney") was #1 in the US for 3 weeks - and would have been #1 for 7 weeks - except The Beatles "Let It Be" album knocked it into the #2 spot for the next 4 weeks. It was also #1 in Canada... and was #2 in the UK, Norway and Sweden; #3 in Australia, Denmark and the Netherlands, #4 in France and Spain. His second album ("Ram") was #1 in the UK, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, #2 in the US, #3 in Australia. His third album ("Wild Life") was #2 in Spain, #3 in Australia and Sweden, #4 in Norway, #5 in Canada, #6 in Denmark. His fourth album ("Red Rose Speedway") was #1 in the US, Australia and Spain, #2 in Canada, Denmark and Sweden, #3 in Belgium, #4 in Norway, #5 in the UK. So... while critics may have panned a lot of his early solo efforts - McCartney had GREAT record chart success and great record sales of his albums and singles... right from the start.

Your analysis of music is so helpful to me. I'm a big Beatles fan, constantly trying to play their songs on the piano and to see the breakdown of any piece of music is always enlightening. I've always favored Paul's song writing as a Beatle, but never really actively listened to his post-Beatles music. I have a new perspective of Band on the Run. Can't wait to try all those chords and chord changes. Can I stretch my short fat fingers around them? 🤷♀🤷♀🤣🤣

Great video - thanks. Paul was really busy around this time and another song from exactly this period and also well worth checking out - if only because it's another stitched together three parter - is the closing track on McGear, the album he made with his brother. I'm not sure who was responsible for what but "The Man Who Saw God On The Moon" stands up every bit as tall today as it did 50 years ago. Paul's stamp is all over it and it's a near perfect example of his incredible inventiveness and imagination during that period.

Thanks so much for this mate. Paul McCarthy's way of writing like this was just brilliant. Uncle Albert was very similar with a 3 stage structure. Wings where a great band. Loved Paul's music post Beatles. Beatles brilliant too of course.

Nice for you to be able to use generous sections of the song without the risk of being blocked by er Capitol Records 😁 Paul was in a good place by 1973. Relationships with the other Beatles were healing, helped by them realising that Paul had been right about Klein. That happy mindset really helped his music.

It makes such a difference having the real songs to listen to. I'm often suspicious of sponsorships, but it's an extraordinarily good arrangement for your videos - it's not as if this is a review.

I've always felt the claps in the second section to be like when jail guards used to go through a prison at night to, one-by-one, lock the prisoners in their cells. So I hear the clap sounds as the locks activating.
