“Maybe I’m Amazed” was first released on his 1970 debut solo album “McCartney”. Not live but from Paul’s home studio. Playing ALL the instruments, magnificently.

Paul McCartney has the unique ability to adjust his voice to the song. He is a man of a thousand voices

Just seeing this right before Christmas 2023. RIP Denny Laine (12/6/2023, Age 79)

when he was first forming wings he had the members over for dinner (as told by one of the band members), when after the meal he suddenly says "oh shoot ,i forgot i need to write a song for a movie by tomorrow, ill be right back" they could hear him tinkering on the piano. 5 min later he comes back "all done" the song was 'live and let die' for the james bond film!

One of the epic love stories of the Rock & Roll Era. Of course the tragedy of Linda's death etched it into history.

He’s for some reason a vastly underrated singer.

The studio version from the album, Paul played all of the instruments. He actually recorded it before the Beatles broke up, but he used the opportunity of the press release for that album to announce that he was leaving the Beatles. John said he was leaving first privately, but never made the official announcement. Paul made it official.

I was in Southern California for a funeral when I heard the news about Linda’s passing. I also remember I was on the way to work when I heard George Harrison passed. Two sad days for me.

A love story for the ages! Their love was a wonder to behold. My heart aches at the thought of Paul having to watch his love fade away at the hands of cancer. 😢

"Legend" perfect word, Phil 👏 Paul & Linda - what a beautiful love story. My heart was broken for him when she passed away.

Just to make a comment, the band is called "Wings" not "The Wings" Great reaction

Remember McCartney was still in his late 20's. The incredible thing is the Beatles were all still in their twenties when they split up. Think about that for a moment. its rather mind blowing.

Right after this album came out, my husband & I got into an argument before I went to work. When I walked in after work, ready to finish the argument, there was my musician husband playing g & singing this song. All was forgiven.

I absolutely LOVE this song! Absolutely beautiful! Classic songwriting genius by Paul! ❤❤🔥🔥🔥

If you’d like to hear a gritty McCartney vocal when he was with The Beatles, give “Oh! Darling” a listen. Keep enjoying your musical journey!

All of the instruments in this song, were played and recorded separately by Paul, using different tracks, and then mixed together. Not only is he a great song writer, but he is also an accomplished musician on many different instruments besides Bass guitar. Oh yeah, he can also sing a little bit.

The reason Sir Paul & other stars with long careers are still kicking, is because they change with the times. You can tell when these songs were made, throughout his career. I was 10 & sitting on the living room floor when the Beatle's made their US debut on the Ed Sullivan. They were HUGE & remained so as their music evolved with the times, until they outgrew one another. They all had something to say & needed their own platforms to do it. And as sad I was when the Beatles broke up, we still got some great music from John & George before they passed & Paul is still touring. Plans to tour Australia & Brazil In October, November & December & the man is 81! Amazeballs!

ARGH!! Anytime I see some reaction on this song live, I feel such a deep pain in my heart... The studio version is so different and so AMAZING!!!!

Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. He has so many great songs such as "Band On The Run", "Jet", "Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "My Love", "Helen Wheels", "Let Me Roll It", "Junior's Farm", "Venus & Mars/Rock Show", "Mull Of Kintyre", "With A Little Luck" etc.

Still get goosebumps when I hear him sing live.

His lead vocals on Maybe I’m Amazed are as good as any vocal performance in Rock history!

as big a legend as they come. What a gift to the human race!!...what a talent!!!

I grew up with the Beatles, saw them the first they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, I was 7 with my sister and one of our cousins. So, for me there has always been Paul McCartney. Went with family and saw their first movie "A Hard Day's Night" in a theater that is no longer there. What a trip it has been for all of us old enough to remember.

This was from his mid-70s Wings Across America tour that turned into a double album. This footage was released much later. The show was the first time we’d seen him in a long time. Voice was great! His use of lasers during the show stopper, Live and Let Die, was groundbreaking for the time. On the original recording, I’m pretty sure, he plays all the instruments

The full works of The Beetles and the Members solo work is a must discover. Never again in our life time.

actually this song does appear as a studio version on the album which garnered moderate success. however when the live album 'wings over America ' (from which this video is taken) was released in '75 from the '74 tour . the live version ,which again is even different from the video release smashed the charts .it sored to #1 in just a few weeks or less, hard to remember now . for months it played on every rock ,pop, adult contemporary station in the U.S. I had never even heard the studio version until about 8 yrs ago. side note; his first couple of albums post beatles the band Wings hadnt been formed yet. he played every instrument on every song by himself! thats the kind of talent we're talking about.

Probably my 2nd all time favorite McCartney with Wings tune right after "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey".

Great version of solo McCartney tune. RIP Denny!

Good reaction guys. Just my two cents worth and take it with a grain of salt. You should always react to the studio version 1st just to experience exactly what it was that made people fall in love with the song, and then go back and explore the live versions. Keep up the good work.

One of the greatest love songs ever made! ♥

My 2 favorite Paul McCartney songs are "Maybe I'm Amazed" & "Mull of Kintyre." But he has many more that I love, too. His music has definitely been on the soundtrack of my life since I was 8 years old; I'm now 68.

"Wings Over America" i was there. June of 1976 at the Fabulous Forum! Spectacular!!!

One of my favorite McCartney songs!!

Paul McCartney and Wings. One of my favorite songs of all time. Paul plays a killer piano on this one! Glad yinz folks are enjoying this one! ❤from Pittsburgh Pa. area! 👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Sir Paul is also the wealthiest living musical artist. He deserves every penny. Thanks for your reaction.

Saw him live with Linda on Keyboards. Incredible performance

Saw macca live in London in 2018 . Best gig ever absolutely amazing total legend

@Bars% Barbells- The Beatles are the greatest group to ever live and I am a huge fan of them. Paul was always my fav Beatle and have always been a fan of his solo work. Thanks so much for Doing Maybe I'm Amazed. Its one of my fav songs ever. Highly recommend you check out the music video he did for the song. Paul also showed his high pitch raspy kind of bluesy voice in Beatle songs Hey Jude and Oh Darling.

Paul was 33 years old when this concert took place in 1976. This live version was released as a single from the album Wings Over America and went to #10 on the charts.

this was recorded and the Kingdome in seattle in early June 1976. I was standing about 30 feet from the stage. The Wings At The Speed of Sound tour. Fantastic show!!

The greatest composer of all time. Period.

Paul McCartney played all the instruments on this album

Love Paul McCartney and Wings and all of their silly love songs

Please, we need more of your reactions to Paul McCartney's music!!

This was a couple years before WINGS was formed. This is a solo album, written and performed (all instruments) by Paul. He does the same process for McCartney 1, 2, and 3 and RAM. After RAM he formed WINGS.

Stunning live song for Linda. It’s amazing

If you love this you will definitely love listening to more Beatles and solo Mccartney. He is a great talent on so many levels. Paul is a true living legend.

This band of Paul's was so damn great.

paul flexed his vocals on sme bugs tracks in v 60s like 'helter skelter', lng tall sally, n a cple others.

What a great expression of love! Paul was great in the 70's.

So good. Great performance. Terrible that their Time together was cut short.

a favorite for sure!!

If you want to hear Paul McCartney using his raspy voice, listen to the Beatles song "Helter Skelter".

4 great lads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul McCarthy and Wings had so many hits, their Greatest CD required a 2 CD set! The love story of Paul and Linda and legendary and tragic. So sad. Paul wrote many songs to Linda. Another….My Love.

Some great Paul McCartney tunes (primary writer, lead vocals) with the Beatles are "And I Love Her," "Yesterday," "Eleanor Rigby," "Let it Be," and "The Long and Winding Road" just to name a few. Also, he does a very raspy voice in "Oh Darlin'."

How nice to see them for the first time with Paul McCartney's songs in his post-Beatles era "Maybe I'm amazed" (1970) It is a beautiful song from Paul McCartney's first album, precisely called "McCartney" It was released in April 1970, a week before the release of "Let It Be", The Beatles' last album. Within the album it had a self-report, in which Paul announced the reasons for the separation of The Beatles, which was news with worldwide impact at the beginning of the new decade. In reality, Paul was the last of The Beatles to start a solo career, since his three companions had already done individual work without having separated from The Beatles. I return to the song Paul's voice is fascinating, he sings with all the passion his love for Linda, to whom he dedicates this song, because in this difficult moment of the separation of The Beatles it was precisely Linda who was his great emotional and emotional support. and "Maybe I'm amazed" live, here on the 1976 tour, is much better even than in his studio recording, more intimate and almost minimalist, in which he played all the instruments. Here you see Paul in full success with his new band Wings, and very happy THE BEATLES have been the group that marked me as a teenager (I am currently 65 years old) and Paul McCartney has been my favorite in his career as a soloist. It has many wonderful songs, of all musical genres. my favorites of his are "Live and let die" (live is amazing) "My love" (another ballad dedicated to Linda) "Band on the run" (a masterpiece) "Venus and Mars / Rock Show" (the start of their 1976 Tour) "Silly love songs" (a song that came out in response to an irony by John Lennon) "Mull of Kintyre" (their first #1 in the UK, and at the same time the best-selling song in the UK in the entire 70s) and I add "My brave face"; "Hope of delivery" "Pipes of peace" Paul McCartney's musical catalog is majestic I hope to see you more often with reactions to Paul McCartney & Wings, and don't forget my other favorites, the Swedish quartet ABBA (I would like them to make a reaction to their live performance at Eurovision 1974, when they won with the iconic "Waterloo", since next year it will be 50th anniversary and Eurovision will probably take advantage of the fact that the contest is in Sweden and make a deserved tribute to ABBA) I wish you a great week my best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America

The guy that you said looked so young was "Jimmy McCulloch". On September 27th, 1979, McCulloch was found dead by his brother in his flat in Maida Vale, London. He was blue from exposure. An autopsy found that McCulloch died of heart failure due to morphine and alcohol poisoning. He was 26 years old. The concert film Rockshow, from Wings' 1976 North American tour, was released in late 1980, more than a year after McCulloch's death. “He was always a little dangerous,” Paul McCartney said of the fresh-faced, hard-living guitarist. “In the end, he was just too dangerous for his own good.”

Love the reaction! Do a deeper dive into The Beatles and you’ll hear the grittier McCartney vocals. And Wings. His range his ridiculous! (Not to mention he played all the instruments on the albums McCartney l, which this is from in 1970, McCartney ll (1980) and McCartney lll (2020!) There will never be another McCartney 🫶🏽

The guitarist who did the introduction was the late Jimmy McCulloch.

Listen to the song titled CALL ME BACK AGAIN from this same show. It's even more soulful and gritty.

The first album Paul put out after the Beatles was Ram. It was before Wings,

This song is from his first solo album before Wings where he played all of the instruments including drums,keyboards,all guitars,etc! His wife sings backup with him!

How beautiful Linda was ❤❤❤❤ she was even a great woman and beautiful person, the Paul's muse, everyone can realize that, when Linda was gone, Paul stop to make so good music 😢😢😢

He was called the cute beatle.

To hear Sir Paul really belt, check out, "Call Me Back Again". Great song, also a live version is available.

To Me, Paul is saying His Wife is Beyond Important to Him... She's Vital to Who He Is...

As it has been noted, Paul played all the instruments on this album. Linda(provided only backing vocals) was not really involved in the music, yet. If I recall, this song is about her ability to stick by him and help with his transition from the break-up to his solo career. I can remember riding my bike to the store and waiting for it to open so I could buy the album that this song (which was just released on the radio) was on. Good times! AND, it's Wings, not the Wings! ;)

This must be 1975 or later. The Wings were founded in 1971. But the song is from 1970 on his first solo album (he played all the instruments by himself, arranged and mixed the stuff and generated the album all alone). This was shortly after the Beatles break and this was a very difficult situation for Paul McCartney. The break was like a divorce after a long marriage. Paul drank to much and used drugs like heroin. Linda was the one who helped him out. In an interview Paul said once that she saved his life. In this situation the song was written. Because you mentioned the vocals: Paul is a largely underrated singer, but he can do anything he wants with his voice and has 100% control over it. He already showed this in Beatles times. For example, I recommend "O darling" by the Beatles to convince yourself.

This was McCartney's first album after he left The Beatles he did not start wings yet he's played all the instruments in this song

"Silly Love Songs" a fav of mine. Plenty of good Wings tunes.

Amazing.

Interesting that Live and Let Dies writing story. There is a little bit of Live and Let Die in this song. Never noticed that before.

I think she is also an acclaimed professional photographer

This performance was from the WINGS OVER AMERICA TOUR, 1976. April 1976, Easter, I’m an eleven year old beginning drummer and huge Beatles fan. My parents buy me the new Wings album, “Wings At The Speed of Sound” for Easter, too old for Easter baskets. But this album is special, it’s not just Macca who captures my imagination but drummer Joe English. Skip ahead a month. As an early 12th birthday present, my beloved parents gift me with my first concert tickets to see Paul McCartney & Wings, “WINGS OVER AMERICA TOUR” at the Capital Center in Landover, Md. Saturday, May 15,1976. My dad gets off work the evening of Friday the 14th. He drives me and my mom 350 miles that night to my aunt’s house. The next day we go to the arena several hours before the show, so that I may get to meet a member of WINGS, hopefully Joe English. Inside the arena, since I’m small and skinny, my dad holds me up on his shoulders for the entire concert so I don’t miss a second of seeing my early drum idol and a Beatle. I still have the ticket, WINGS “W” t-shirt and program from that show. The greatest show ever and the greatest parents ever. Interesting side note, drummer Joe English, now 74, lives just 200 miles away from me, now 59, here in North Carolina.

If you really want to hear Paul go in to overdrive, try watching him live on the Wings Over America tour, singing "Soily", it's a side of Paul you haven't heard of before, and as far as I'm aware, this side of Paul is exclusive to this song.

Love Maybe I’m amazed! U guys are great!

Check out Those Were the Days by Mary Hopkin. It was an old Irish folk song that Paul reworked and produced in 1968.

This was the first concert I went to, no other concert came close to this one!

As great as people think he is he's even better

Awesome reaction guys... It's a love song for sure... Paul is super talented... like John, George and Ringo... no wonder they were such a power house group... Yes, Paul went into a deep depression after the break up of the Beatles... I guess it would have been like a death to him and he needed to go through the grieving process... Linda was there 100% of the way for him.... Thanks for doing this one.. Yep, do Band on the Run when you get a chance.... 🙂

Congratulations for using a live version. Good choice, as they were usually superior to the studio. The lead guitarist started out as a 17 year old protege of Pete Townshend, in a classic one off album ~ Thunderclap Newman - Hollywood Dream. Here he is somewhere around 23-24 years old and playing with an ex-Beatle.

Great reaction guys. Appreciate it. The studio version was released in 1970 on the "McCartney" album. FYI, the guitarist in the white jacket who introduced the song was Jimmy McCulloch. He died in 1979 of a drug and alcohol overdose. The bass player was Denny Laine. He was a founding member of the Moody Blues--another classic band to check out. Keep going with McCartney and The Beatles!

You guys have GOT to do "I've Got a Feeling" from the rooftop concert by The Beatles. One of Paul's best vocal songs.

The first person to leave the Beatles was actually Ringo on the 22nd August 1968 during the making of the White Album, although after a few weeks the others asked him to come back and he did.

Paul was never away from his wife even one day in their marriage.

I actually saw him on that tour at the kingdom in Seattle. Years later I saw an interview with him, and he was asked when he realized there was musical life after the Beatles. He said, it was the show in Seattle where he felt he could make it solo. It was a fantastic show.

Paul was always mmy favorit Beatles

This is a live cut from the Wings Over America Rockshow DVD - 1976. So, there is 1) the studio cut from his album (McCartney -1970) then there is 2) this live cut from Rockshow DVD within the limited edition box set of Wings Over America and then 3) there is the live cut from the live album Wings Over America that most people have heard. From 1976 until recently, there was only one live cut of this, but now they released Rockshow which has this live cut from a different night of the Wings Over America tour. I like version 3 the best, but the one they reacted to (#2) is very good and they have it on video. Love the channel!

A great one guys! BTW that was Linda shown on backup vocals.

His song Yesterday is the most covered song of all time. Over 3,000 different artists have covered it

RIP Denny Laine on bass here.

Love that screaming SG. RIP Jimmy McCulloch. Gone too soon.

What you have here is the best artist to have lived. Better than Dylan, Elvis, Mercury, Wilson, Prince Elton... Put his musical talent and writing and his early days voice and you have a phenomenon that will never be repeated

Is this from "Wings Over America"? 1976. Paul - piano, Linda - basic keys and wailing, Denny Laine - bass, The late Jimmy McCulloch - amazing guitar, Joe English (who was American) - drums

For a split second, I thought Sam had on a Wonder Woman outfit! lol...Gorgeous as ever Sam.

Another great Paul McCartney song is “Another Day”

Denny Laine, the Lead Guitarist was the original Lead Singer with the Moody Blues back in 1964 when they had a hit with ‘Go Now’.

For gritty Macca, Helter Skelter (Beatles) or Monkberry Moon Delight (solo)
