Paul is a gem. Such an awesome writer/singer and performer.

One of greatest song writers ever ,master of his craft ,written before computers!!!!

There isn’t a bad song on this entire album!

Great pick guys - that instrument is a Moog synthesizer, McCartney used it quite a bit and it's actually his wife (Linda) playing it. The song is about Freedom, that's why he mentions suffragettes, and "Jet" was the name of a black stallion which Paul and Linda owned, as they had many animals and horse back riding was one of their favorite things to do together. Staying with the Freedom context, he says "get on my back and while go for a ride in the sun", meaning his stallion Jet, speaking to the suffragette, bringing her to freedom. Next McCartney song, must do, 1985. Trust me...you'll love it!

Nobody writes melodies like McCartney...my favorite living musician.

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their "With A LIttle Luck" and "My Love" !!!!

Paul McCartney. Just wow. What a treasure of the human experience.

My sister still talks about seeing them on this tour. She saw all the best act's from those days. She had a big fish bowl full of ticket stubs and all the t-shirts. Being eight years younger than her, I was always so envious of her. Her story about the Led Zepplin show is hilarious. Good reaction, guy's.

Always love to hear any songs performed by a former Beatle. This was a very popular song back then for Paul - always on the radio. Love how it changes throughout.🎶 Thanks for reacting to this one guys!🧡

The whole Band On The Run LP is just so much fun! The title track is sooo good. His wife played keyboards in the band so that's a synth your hearing [I believe!] I don't think I'm going too far out on the limb stating that McCartney is a living Legend!

Sir Paul a true legend you can’t get any better.

Wings was the second best band that Paul McCartney was a member. They were a great band and their catalog of music is amazing and worth reacting and listening too. His wife Linda was a member of the band and played Keyboards and sang background vocals…

Great song!! Paul really nailed this entire album and this is one of my 🤩

McCartney landed on his feet running full tilt after the Beetles. He stuck musical gold with Wings!

Wings was a phenomenal stadium act by 1976! On that particular tour, Wings over America, they only played four Beatles songs! The rest was Wings material plus denny laine singing go now from his time with the Moody Blues! Just shows how popular Wings were back in the 70's.

Paul and Linda, ❤. If you see their music videos to these songs… you will see Linda as she’s part of this AWESOME BAND🤗👍🎶🎸🥁. R.I.P. Linda McCartney

Will always be the best and most successful songwriter of all time. One of my idols.

This was a great fun song back in the day. It just hit me while watching this that that this was 50 years ago this year. Thanks for making me feel like old dude. Actually, thanks for the memories. Great time too be alive and a 15 year old teen. Fun, care free days and not a worry in the world.

I just loved this album.. masterpiece that Lennon even loved. Too many good songs..Band on the Run ,Jet , Bluebird ,Mrs Van Der Bilt,1985,Drink to me,,Let me Roll it, Junior's farm

Paul McCartney and Wings over America album was fantastic.

IIRC, Jet was his dog. This is one of the few rockers from Paul Mc & Wings. Paul liked ballads and kind of weird pieces. "Live and Let Die" is another odd rocker from them. Speaking of which, you should listen to "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey." It was a hit, and about as unlikely a hit song as you can imagine.

One of my favorites from 1973

Wife here..Hey Guys..., I was around 3 when this song came out..I would jump up and down on my Mom and Dad's sofa...The energy was off the Hook to me even at that age!!!..Alot of different and Spacey and Airy sounds...Perfectly 👍 agreed and Perfectly stated ...Thank You!!!

Paul's wife Linda is playing the Moog synthesizer.

My mom had the Band on the Run album and I would pop it on the turntable and listen to it almost everyday. Great album.

great song! ♥ I suggest these McCartney songs: No More Lonely Nites, Take It Away & My Brave Face

Bands like the Beatles and Wings had small orchestras with them in the studio (strings and brass). There is a Moog on this album but synthesizer technology wasn't really advanced enough yet to successfully sound like a real orchestra yet when they recorded this (1973).

If I recall, Jet was a horse. Paul's dog was named Martha, and the inspiration for the Beatles song, Martha My Dear.

That was one of the original synths. That was the famous Mini Moog.

One of my older brothers Favs :) in a LONG Fn list lol of bands n music over Many years ;) Much Love u 2 !!! Peace :)

Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. A lot of great songs such as "Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "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.

They used the Moog Synthesiser,which was a fairly early,and I would think basic by today's standards. Very 70s sounding track.

McCartney wrote the lyrics when he was really REALLY high! Don't get to tangled up in a literal interpretation because there is no sober reaction 🤣....Just enjoy the wonderous candy for your ears and don't try to figure out a meaning!! ✌😘

The theremin (/ˈθɛrəmɪn/; originally known as the ætherphone/etherphone, thereminophone[2] or termenvox/thereminvox) is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the performer (who is known as a thereminist). It is named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928. The instrument's controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which function not as radio antennas but rather as position sensors. Each antennae forms one half of a capacitor with each of the thereminist's hands as the other half of the capacitor. These antennas capacitively sense the relative position of the hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker. The sound of the instrument is often associated with eerie situations. The theremin has been used in movie soundtracks such as Miklós Rózsa's Spellbound and The Lost Weekend, Bernard Herrmann's The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Justin Hurwitz's First Man as well as in theme songs for television shows such as the ITV drama Midsomer Murders and the Disney+ series Loki, the latter composed by Natalie Holt. The theremin is also used in concert music (especially avant-garde and 20th- and 21st-century new music) and in popular music genres such as rock.

Yes, it's his horse on his farm. He also said "Let me climb on your back and we'll ride to the sky". Paul even said it on some interview. But of course Paul liked to write lyrics so the listener can make the meaning about whatever hits them.

They recorded this album in Lagos, Nigeria.

Such a good band! Paul is a legend.

Helen Wheels, Junior's Farm. Bluebird, Let Me roll It, 1985, Hi Hi Hi and so many more!!!

Love this band, I was more in this era than the beetles era. Loved this as a kid

This was one of my JAMS since I was 5!!

❤ thanks. Been singing this in my head all day. 😊

Definitely my favorite album from Paul McCartney and Wings

Love this song!

Those opening notes are played by brass instruments

I've seen Paul McCartney several times he is great...RIPLinda

My favorite song from Wings...

My band used to play this live. The intro "duuuu dun du-duuuuuuuuu..." Is a mix of synth, piano, saxophone, guitar, and bass layered. One of my favorite Paul McCartney solo songs for sure.

Great reaction guys! It took me years to figure out what this song meant. I’m still not 100% sure. I always wondered what the word “Mater” meant. So I looked it up and it’s a colloquial term for “Mother”. It helps make those lines fit.

You should check out Let Me Roll It from the same album. You won’t have any trouble deciphering the lyrics on that one. Great reaction to Jet!

Paul rocking out the bet on the drums! The "dun-dun-de-DUN" riff may simply be the bass and guitars with a great horn section (low register saxophones)

Excellent album. That song was my first attempt at learning to play drums. I don’t know if he used a synthesizer or a theremin, but McCartney was well known for using everything found in a full orchestra.

"I thought the only lonely place was on the moon" has EVERETHING u need, it has aliteration on "only lonely place" it has metaphore, it has rythm towards the song, it has melody, it has meaning... hense to me, those lyrics right there are one of the most beautiful, nothing short of miraculous, best lyrics ever

I think you guys would like Uncle Albert, its a very light hearted song that's fun to listen to.

Check out his "Wings Over America" 1976 triple live album...that is one of the finest live albums ever....do a reaction on a song called "Call me back again" phenomenal vocal in an album full of them.....it was a synthesizer and those are all Horns as well....4 different kinds

It is so unique and likeable hard do distinguish what exactly the lure is! 1973!!!

This album is all great. Recorded in Lagos, Nigeria.

oh as a child i absolutey loved this song! they were so good!

There are a bunch of Beatles solo songs from the 70's y'all have to dive into. All 4 of them. 2 good ones by Wings are from the Wings at the Speed of Sound album - Let 'em In and Silly Love Songs. That's just 2. So many more.

theres a reason paul mccartney is a living legend

HEY YOU GUYS! 😊 SO THIS COMES OF THE MULTI PLATNUM ALBUM ( BAND ON THE RUN ) 😊 TIMELESSSS CLASSIC MCCARTNEY AND WINGS ROCK!

Thanks!! I haven't heard this song in soooo long.

I found wings before I got old enough to have discovered the Beatles , I was 10 when this came out and I loved it . We should celebrate McCartney more while we still have him , he’s in his 80’s now and what a mark in history he has left us with all his music and musicality . Live and let die and Band on the run are both stunning tracks that could only have come from the pen of the greatest song writer and performer in living memory . Cheers Sir Paul 🍻 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ps Jet was named after one of the animals on his Scottish farm 👀

The instruments used in the four opening notes were played by orchestral strings, I am guessing ----- violin, viola, and cello. I didn't really hear anything as deep as a double bass, but I could be wrong.

synthesizers usually. especially the old ones. They sounded so good

It's a Synthesizer, the sound you're talking about, some bands used it a lot in the late 70's 80's

a good song from one of his masterpiece album " band on the run " ........recorded in lagos Nigeria ....he played the majority of the instruments , with linda and denny laine .......please react to 1985 the last song of the album , sure you liked it

check out Monkberry Moon Delight by Paul McCartney. Paul really screams it out!

Maybe, you could give a listen to “Let Me Roll It”? It’s on the same album. But only if ya don’t mind the blues. Try it, you’ll like it. 🍻🖖

Paul killin on those vocals. check out some more killer Mccartney vocals on with a little luck and getting closer

Asia, I already Love you! And now you wear Detroit Lions shirts! You are fabulous! And BJ is ok too! 😂

The song is about freedom. According to his daughter, the pony was named for the song, not the other way around. This actually makes more sense. Paul has also said that Jet was a dog, so...

Saw McCartney's solo concert after his years with his Wings band. As with all his songs, McCartney always sings his live songs very close to his studio recording. Jet was no different. He performed Jet just like his original recording. I was fortunate to see McCartney in concert twice & he hasn't lost a step. I hear his net worth is approx $1.2 billion. McCartney's concerts are approx 3 hrs long, no breaks/wardrobe changes, & he primarily sings one hit after another. His concerts are packed with pure rock & roll history. And he's worth every single dollar watching him live in concert!

The sound on this production is real orchestra, produced by George Martin like a real orchestra ensemble

A NEW WORD: ORGANYYYYY!!! 😊 I LOVE IT. IT'S SO DISNEY SOUNDING ALLLLLL THE TIME WITH ANY BEATLES MUSIC YOU GUYS! 😊

Wings had a ton of great material. This song was a staple of my grade school years and beyond.

I loved it as a kid.. 🙏🏻 Peter Grecco ❤️

"Band on the Run" & "Red Rose Speedway" - Paul was onto something!!

the incredible journey reactors are takng rediscovering the Beatles and Post Beatles...Band on the Run was probably McCartney [and Wings] one of his top 2 albums...the other was Tug of War, which came in the early 1980's after Lennon died. Remember the Beatles were 4 strong. contributing together as a unit. When they parted ways, the pressure was immense on all of them to present an album and hits of equal calibur and that was DAMN hard to do, in an environment of higher immense creativity and quality that they themselves had helped to create [basic leading the way until others caught up to them]. McCartney had trial and error up to about this point when 2 Wings band members left the band at the last minute before recording this album. So basically Paul did most of the instruments, uncluding drums...yes, drums!! Denny Laine, guitar and vocals, helped out, and wife Linda McCarntey playing some keyobard work and doint backing vocals...with a couple of African musician asked to play on a few numbers. Paul bescially said screw those guys who left I;ll do the whole farkin albyum myself with Linda and Denny, and he worlked his butt off and came up with this now iconic album. Even John Lennon liked the album and said so.

Still waiting on you guys to react to the MOTHER'S FINEST song TRUTH'LL SET YOU FREE! Make sure you listen to the regular album version. You're going to absolutely love it!

Love you guys !! I try to watch every one of your reactions.

Hope you enjoy the Chris Rea CD. My favorites are: Fool (If You Think It's Over) Driving Home For Christmas On The Beach Auberge

Wife here..My Husband said same thing about MEGAMAN!!

Baritone Saxophone was the deep vibration sound

This album came out the same time as Yellow brick Road Elton John.......two great albums in the same week.......

Please check out Delbert McClinton " Everytime I Roll the Dice" + " Never Been Rocked Enough "

Mater is an old english word for mother . . . Mum n dad . . Mater and pater. . Ah mother want jet to always love me . .. . That bassy sound is a bass saxaphone . .

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾😎😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😜⚡️⚡️Yes! Opening song last 2 times i saw him!!

Jet was their dog! We (I know I do) say the craziest stuff to our pets. Wings’ music was always good.

All the Beatles were so cool. Paul and Jon crazy creative. What I heard was they broke up because Paul never wanted to take a break and out wrote them in numbers of songs. Paul was driven. By the time Wings happened I'm sure he had a reservoir of songs that were meant for the Beatles and became Wings songs lol.

Great song. Sounded like some horns on that don, don da don bit, you mentioned...

Saw Paul McCartney and Wings back in 1976 at The Cow Palace. Was general admission so got there real early. The talk going on in line was Will this concert turn into a Beatles reunion? Well, no, obviously. But incredible show anyway. ✌

Damn the album the Jets off of called Band on the Run that have several decent songs on it but if you want to listen to one of the best songs from that album listen to the song Band on the Run that is one of my favorite songs of all time of Paul McCartney's not Beatles but of Paul McCartney's individual musical career.

In my top 5 all time albums!

And Paul's bass !!!!

New word of the day ,organy lol

The "da da da daaa" is a brass section.

All great any song works

I think Michael Jackson later picked up on the woo at the end of this song Jet. Listen to that last vocalization on Jet and tell me if you see it too. And I didn't know this was about his pony? I thought Jet was a way to get away with saying the word Shit on radio. Warm shit to always love me?...and instead of suffragette I thought he was saying suffer again shit. 😂

A compilation of guitars and horns

Love Wings ❤
