You know you’re at absolute LEGEND status when a beatle covers your song. There will never be another Jimi Hendrix

First Jimi Hendrix and his band covered Sgt Pepper, now Paul is covering Foxy Lady. It appears as though things have come full circle.

Because of his sweetness, sometimes we forget now much of a badass rockstar he is. Loads of love and respect to Sir Paul

0:32 Thirty seconds in and Jimi is already causing love-making lol

Saw Paul and his band about 5 years ago. Waited all my life and missed seeing Wings in the 70s. Awesome show. That being said, I could just listen to Paul tell stories for 3 hours.

I have to admit that gave me chills great tribute and mutual respect they both had for each other 🎸

Paul is a true music genius. He plays so many instruments, great composer, great singer, great entertainer, etc. Sir Paul is one of a kind. 🎼🎶🎵👍

Wow. Paul rocking lead guitar and jamm’n. He’s such an underrated guitarist and rarely takes lead but wow.. I think one of his first lead guitar moments was numerous guitar pieces on McCartney I back in 1970.. The guitar work on Maybe I’m Amazed is fantastic...

Jimi Hendrix did a cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2 days after they released it :r awesome

Am I the only one that thinks that drummer is f*ckin' awesome?

This is actually a nice solo from McCartney, it's really not that technical but it still sounds really good and bluesy.

Thanks Paul . That was a great tribute to a great guitar man n singer!

Paul McCartney's shows have lost none of their life like so many musicians have

Jimmy Smiles Somewhere From Heaven. Got to appreciate the relationship of musicians forever influencing each other.

That's a motherfuckin "Beatle" !

Tends to show how physical Hendrix's music was!! Kudos to Mr McCartney for covering it ... and Abe of course for rockin it on the drums!!

ezzel a feldolgozással, igen nagy, és kellemes meglepetést kaptam Paultól, köszönöm!

Awesome! I don't understand all the negative comments. This sounds great. And he was 67 when it was recorded.

Uno de los mas grandes músicos de rock haciendo un tema del más grande guitarrista de todos los tiempos .

It's goosebumping to realize that Paul was already biggest musician when Hendrix came and now.. many years later... oh God... I love Paul McCartney

rarely see paul playes the lead guitar!

holy shit it even has a little touch of the beatles in the lead that was awesome. I was really skeptical before hearing it. Now I'm like, "dude you didn't sing it?!"

Legend covering another Legend song that's pretty cool!!👍👏 That guitar is off the hook🎸

Amazing. Paul can play any instrument. And he knows who to create a special energy of love around like nobody else. And yet...trolls always show up because they love him too much. And faint with envy. Pathetic people. I wish Paul had make this tribute the night I saw his concert. It's simply fabulous.

Damn, Paul is rocking out! How awesome!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

Drummer killing it. Good cover.

Wow!! What an awesome rocker he is!!!

Wow, quite a talented guy!😍😍😍

Paul and Jimi-Both Lefty !!!

I don't think some realize but Jimi released Are You Experienced? on May 12, 1967. Sgt. Pepper's was released on May 26th, 1967. Let that sink in. Everybody said Sgt. Peppers was this forward thinking game changer and it WAS, but Are You Experienced? was before it! And man was THAT as game changer. So just saying Sgt. Pepper's wasn't on an island all by itself.

How can you not love Sir Paul !!! My favorite Scouser :)

Interesting read on Paul and Jimi: “On the 21st of October 1969, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and the drummer Tony Williams sent a telegram to Paul McCartney (who was a big fan of Jimi). "We are recording and LP together this weekend in New York - STOP - How about coming in to play bass - STOP - Peace - Jimi Hendrix Miles Davies (sic) Tony Williams." On October 22, Peter Brown, who worked for the Beatles' record label, replied on behalf of Paul: "Ref. cable received from Hendrix, Davies and Williams. Paul McCartney away from London on holiday, not expected to return for two weeks." When the ex-Beatle was later shown the telegram, he was stunned "Am I dreaming? Is it a joke? Where did you find that?" The documents come from Yazid Manou, the French Hendrix specialist, who discovered them while researching on the web-sites of The Hard Rock Café. One document is at Key West (Florida 2005) and the other in Prague (Czech Republic 2012). "How is this possible? Jimi! Jimi wanted to play with me and I find out now? Why?" McCartney suddenly realized that October 21, 1969 had been a special day: "An american radio had just announced that I was dead and it had spread worldwide. The Beatles were in a difficult period. I went to my house in Scotland and I didn't want to be joined... so, I never got this telegram. I was dreaming to play with Jimi. We knew each other. I remember having seen him playing at The Speakeasy Club, in London, in 1966 : Jimi was astonishing, breathless, impossible to categorise. I remember that he had played his famous version of "Hey Joe" and a song of Howlin' Wolf. I have never played with him; I thought that we would have all the time in the world. And he died one year after; he was 27. When, in 1967, I was one of the art directors of the Monterey Festival, I got him invited." Unknown in the USA, Hendrix exploded onto the scene, thanks to that concert. "What could Jimi, Miles, Tony and I have done in a studio ? I know I would have rather played guitar than bass... or both. Jimi had no limits. He brought together psychedelic rock, electric blues, gospel... and his technique remains matchless. For 40 years, I recalled his genius in pretty all of my concerts." Evidently moved, McCartney adds "It is at the same time my biggest missed opportunity and also a great news... an inspiration to write new songs." Another interesting detail- Manou managed to get Peter Brown on the phone to ask him about the telegram and informed him of fan’s angry reactions to the missed opportunity - Brown promptly hung up on him!

Paul is the greatest..one of my favourite musicians 👍🏻🎸 brilliant he is. Of course the Beatles my favourite all time band.

This guy's pretty good. He may have a future if he writes some original material.

Nice effort from Paul & point well taken as to " tribute". In all this it can not be mistaken that the original much wilder, inspired dynamic of that song belongs completely to Jimi Hendrix. It's not just " hands" on the guitar...it is "soul" on the guitar that is important. Love to Paul, Love to Jimi

... one of the best - and unexpected - covers - coming from Paul's heart ... ! And a phenomenal DRUMMER pushing the show !

What a gem of a video! I have never seen Paul play Hendrix,, it will be brilliant if he plays that at Glastonbury in August 2022. He's a very young 79 isn't he!!

Beautiful tribute

Aqui em SP o Paul falou o Jimi tocou nessa guitarra (era uma outra semi acústica) ,e eu vou tocar igual a ele, aí foi tocou uma música normal, no finalzinho ele correu pra caixa de som virou ajoelhou e tocou o último acorde!! Grande Paul, responsável direto pela carreira do Hendrix, cuida até hoje!

Сэр Пол с Днём рождения! Крепчайшего Вам здоровья, удачи и всего самого доброго, успешного, удачного, яркого и позитивного! Пусть всё, что приносит Вам радость, приумножается! Спасибо Вам !

Jimi Hendrix el guitarrista genial de todos los tiempos ,paz a su Alma en Venezuela marco pauta increíble

Los genios musicales como Paul, Eric,jinger, miles de músicos y cantantes lo dicen y el público mundial , su música Alucinante

Paul hung out with Jimi too man... All these legends who worked in the 60s were around to see a lotta different people on stage. A lotta talent. Always love to hear that story about Sgt album and Jimi calling for Eric. One can't be nicer than Paul. ❤

his multi talent is unbelievable!!!

Honestly, he gets Hendrix vibe-wise better than anyone else. He just does - not kidding. Even better than Hendrix disciples... He doesn't try to outplay him or keep up. He just gets that strange, off-kilter vibe Hendrix had and to a T. It's uncanny. And funny. LOVE his Hendrix stuff.

Pauli Rocks Hendrix! Wow!!!

Jimi would be proud

One tribute deserves another - good on you Paul .

*JIMI COVERS BEATLES , PAUL COVERS JIMI*

the best guitar player, bassist, drummer and singer in the beatles

Very good!!! Míster Paul...

And Sir Paul is one of the few guys to actually play Hendrix lefty

Only Jimi could play Jimi songs I think. His style and soul was half his songs, at least.

Paul is one ☝️ of the greatest musicians still alive

LOVE love LOVE this story! & both performers covering both songs!

Everybody's heard Paul play solo guitar, probably without realizing it. A lot of the grungy, psychedelic sounding solos were actually played by Paul. "Helter Skelter ," "Back in the USSR," "Tomorrow Never Knows," "Taxman," "Good Morning Good Morning" are among his most notable solos.

Wow what great lead licks by Paul who knew. Blew me away.

Paul! You should have strapped on a right handed Strat and flipped it over!

Só uma maneira de lembrar do cara que ele conheceu e viu tocar. Ao vivo e ainda fez uma homenagem a ele tocando sargent pepers 4 dias após o disco ser lançado

Thank you sir!

Pual is simply a great all around guitarist.

Wow!!!!!

Un homenaje del genio de Liverpool, para Jimi Hendrix!

I love you Ringo.

The respect these guys have for eachother is paramount.

Too bad he didn’t cover more of the song. Sexy lyrics and a great bridge … and some room for his great guitarist to explore.

Paul plays bass, piano, and guitar it turns out. Damn that guy is just a musical savant.

Honor among the greats.

Paul giving back the favor to Jimi. Of course Paul can't play like him, but is a nice homage 💗

Nadie lo superó y ya fallecido paz a su Alma tocando en las estrellas

A lot of haters here. To anyone who's gonna shit on every cover of foxy lady that isn't as good as jimi hendrix's, you've got a long long list to get to.

This is awsome.

James Paul still at the top of his game.

No matter what you think of him Paul is the greatest rocker ever

Just a little anecdote about the grace and kindness of the late Jimi Hendrix.He played and presented his musical compositions like masterpieces. "Foxy Lady" became the dream standard for vocals along with "Purple Haze".His stage presence was so powerful you could hear a pin drop.The outfits he wore were often silky, satiny or velvety, paisley, tie dye, frock coats and jabot frill shirts made in the finest London Boutiques.His focus was on the softening of sound from the microphone and he was continuously adjusting the amplifiers. Jimi took good care of his guitars as a rule, and would only entrust someone like the virtuoso Eric Clapton to help him tune an electric guitar. Blinding lights and loudness never outshone the magical mystery of the "experience". He shared his songs generously with the gifted stars and likewise Bob Dylan let him cover "All Along The Watchtower". Ringo Starr had the same elegant taste in clothes and took to helping Jimi' find refined accommodation in a London flat.He did learn Sgt. Pepper"s Lonely Heart's Club Band in a few days, and I wonder if that gave his contemporaries real insight into their work. I wonder how futuristic he could have sounded if he had lived to old age .Surely Miles Davis and John Coltrane would have seen a refined progressive change to jazz in later year sessions.Nice instrumental tribute to 'Black Majesty's" unforgettable "Sand Castle Magic ' of a Purple Haze dimension. Lovingly, FOXY.

Paul !!! You are the greatest .

bless Paul & Jimmy🎶🎵🎸

McCartney did us proud.

I read the comments of couple youngsters who suppose know to play guitar and criticize Paul approach to Jimi song and his poor technique.. Maybe some of those have managed some metallica or megadeth songs and now they proudly think they are awesome. To play good technically is only first step and there is looong way from technical player to good player. Jimi was for example not only good but supreme, there is also long way from good to supreme, but still I consider Paul good guitar player. You may ask why ?? Think about it you will get it one day, I hope so. I was always in awe how some old rock or blues guitarist play couple of seem to be simple riffs but it sounded so awesome and when myself played it it sounded dead, robotic. It may take a lot time or not to get that right feel but if you drop ego you start learning it just happen and suddenly you know it. Jimi song Are You Experienced refers to so many levels of human life experiences it is endless like the sky !!

I wanted to hear him sing it so bad 😢 you have no idea

Linda Eastman esposa de Paul era admiradora de Jimi. Ella lo vio actuar en 1968 en el Miami Rcok festival.

Hey man !? I get it !! Respect,, And appreciation for Jimmy!

Linda homenagem a Jimi

Amazing !!!

paul's guitar sounds like helter skelter

Before he was famous Hendrix was playing in New York and not getting traction. He moved to London and became a hit, but he was still unknown in the US. A promoter tried to get the Beatles to play but McCartney told them they had a conflict and recommended Hendrix. Jimi put on a show and lit his guitar on fire. He was an instant sensation. As different as they sound there was a bond and mutual admiration. If n for Paul we might have not had so much influence from Hendrix.

I wish I was gifted to play guitar I would just strum along like that all day 😂

No wonder that you were my favorite. You rendered it faithfuly. And totally respected jimi. Paul mcCartny you were the mist and creativity of the beatles.

This is a paramount gift to Jime Hen lovers

A Gallant effort by Sir Paul

The best .

Privilegio de quem precenciou esse som !

This almost seems like the opening to a movie, a very awesome movie

Nice !!!

Yeah ok....I was too busy watching that beast on the drums....mixing concrete.😳😂💓

The very beat of the tributes

Great musicianship, Baul

A lot of people here complain about Paul's guitar technique, and they do not realize they seem pretty silly...

Good for Paul 😎😍🤟

That drummer
