Who came to watch it after reading/listening about this experience on his (audio)book? Dave you're a true legend bruv

Dave absolutely nailed that. Imagine being Paul McCartney sitting there thinking 'I wrote this, god I'm good'

Who else is here while reading “Storyteller”? Such a great book!

God the balls it took to do that with McCartney less than ten feet away. I can't even imagine.

Who knew being a drummer in a grunge band would bring you to this

The older i get, the more i see the genius of Dave Grohl.

Dave Grohl, the grunge kid from the biggest 90's band now the musical genius keeping rock music alive

WOW...You know Dave is talented but damn... This is the best cover of "band on the run" ever. He killed it as usual.

I came back to watch this performance again because Dave talks about it in his book, The Storyteller. Highly recommend getting the audiobook, because Dave narrates it and I can only imagine it would completely ruin reading it manually. We're the same age and have some similar experiences and I just love his spirit and attitude in life. Fan forever.

Stevie Wonder is really impressed with Paul McCartneys vocal range on this one

You know you’re killing it when you’ve got Stevie Wonder groovin right along with you!

Dave Grohl seems like a very nice guy; very decent and respectful of his colleagues in the biz. And he can kick ass on stage! Hats off to him.

Paul's band is Incredible. They sound like in the original album track :O

When that acoustic guitar kicks in for the third part, chills every time. Dave's voice nails that part too.

This is one of my favorite Dave Grohl performances of all time! Such a fun stomping version! And Dave looks so rad in his suit with his Pelham Blue Gibson. I just love this.

This is a great song, tempo changes, key changes, a great bridge, mood and feeling. It’s got it all.

Dave's voice has such a great mix of melody and gravel.

Holy crap, Grohl. You rocked that classic beautifully! Paul is more than proud as he loves to sing it with you!

My hat goes to Dave Grohl. He can dress so formal and yet rockin' like what it is supposed to be. When a hero sings to his heroes.

Dave Grohl is the best combination of musician + entertainer + performer

Dave absolutely nails this song. And Paul's band are as amazing as ever. Love the fact Paul's had the same line up of brilliant musicians all these years.

Funny how it started to sound like a foo fighters song half way through

Didn't know it before, but the more I watch Dave Grohl, the more I respect the guy. The dude can really lay it down. 👍🎵🎶

I had the pleasure of seeing Sir Paul a few years ago in Boston at Fenway. His band was amazing! The drummer is one of the most wonderfully animated people you will ever see play an instrument.

2020, COVID-19, I can watch this all day in this quarentene.

This video just made me love Stevie Wonder.

After reading David’s book Storyteller, watching this performance, and reassessing the entirety of the Foo Fighters’ music catalogue, I’ve come to the realization that Dave Grohl is a God and legend in the rock world and his genius, which is currently underrated, will likely be recognized to the fullest extent years from now long after he’s done playing music. Not many other artists have had a career like Dave’s. He’s given us so many classics. Not to mention that he single-handedly recorded the entirety of FF’s first album within a year from Kurt’s passing, playing every instrument on the album and wasn’t pretentious enough to go in as a “solo artist”. Fucking cool.

We all know how much dave loves Paul. Probably practiced the crap out of this. Paul eventually inducted the foos into the rock and roll hall of fame. God bless Paul and Dave and the rest of the band. 😍😍🤩🤩🥰🥰

I'm not a massive Foo Fighters fan but I do really like Dave Grohl as a person and obviously this performance was effing greeeeeat.

Stevie enjoyed it, that's all that matters

Paul's Band is magnificent!! Grohl sounds fantastic with them!!

Now then, Dave definitely delivered those powerful vocals of a young McCartney with all due respect! Hair dancing and power/skill full performanc👌 the drummer is just fantastic 👌

There's a lot of people that dont realise, if it wasn't for the Beatles, we wouldn't have a lot of the musicians we have today. Kudos for Dave Grohl keeping it alive!

What a drummer........ Abraham Laboriel rocks......

Best song ever made imo. Absolutely incredible! Really suits Grohl's voice.

Wow, Dave Grohl kills it here!!

Laboriel Jr is a beast on the drums!

The life this man has led as a musician (in 1 lifetime, so far) is beyond comprehension.

Dave Grohl is such a class act..I just love him

Extraordinary talent. Omg loved how much Stevie was enjoying the show! 🥰

From a small punk band in the 80's, arriving in a grunge band in the 90's, starting as a drummer and now he is a frontman performing with every famous musician...a true story of self develop, my hero!

Amazing performance. Ridiculously explosive, and here I am remembering it years later.

Grohl one of the few musical geniuses of the 21st century. Do you believe? He is living proof.

Dave does what he wants, just happens to be the best things ever.

Now, THIS is a cover.

If you don't like Dave Grohl, his skill, talents and good nature, you're not on the right side of this EARTH! I love the guy!

Dave Grohl is a class act and an incredibly talented musician/performer/songwriter, and over-all a seemingly, fantastic human being, as well. Great song, great performance, and an even better songwriter, Sir Paul McCartney. 😊

You could tell Grohl was way more comfortable when the song picked up tempo.

Sometimes I get the feeling the Dave Grohl is both one of the most important musicians of the grunge era and one of the most under rated

There is nothing like watching Dave Grohl play when his hair is flying! His hair almost becomes another musician with the group.

This IS McCartney's regular touring band so they kinda made easy on Dave

Dave is such an awesome dude literally is the nicest guy in rock and roll and definitely is a hell of an artist

I love this version. amazing.

Great job, Dave always puts his heart into his performances.

I had to pause the video to express how much I liked Stevie Wonder singing along... I return myself to the video.

Wow! His Vocals is perfect for the rendition of the song .

Dave and Paul are good friends which makes this twice as awesome! That and the fact that he's playing with his band...must've been weird for Paul!

Dave does this so well!!!! "I hope you're having fun!!!" 😅✌❤

Grohl is just a great all around musician.. Writer, player, performer, he's the whole package..

Impressed massively that Dave can sing those notes in that kind of vocal fry that he does!

You know the song being played is good when Stevie Wonder is jamming out to it

This always makes me smile. Dave G. Is phenomenal

Dave Grohl killing the definitive cover of a Paul McCartney song while Stevie Wonder sings along in the audience is beautiful

This is incredible. 2019. Still watching

This is brings relief and escape from the insanity of the last four years. Can't imagine mr orange appreciating this classic.

I am grateful I finally stumbled upon this. Dave’s voice is amazing for this song. And what a moment to play in that place for those two people.

Having grown up with the music of the 70s and 80s I love this rendition of Band on the Run. It stays true to the original but it is all Dave. Well done Sir!!!!

Awesome. I

One of my childhood favorites such a good jam and even when a sped up a little and harder it still kicks ass!💯

This was way better than I expected. I thought Dave would really struggle with that vocal but he did a terrific job.

Legend says Dave has been chewing the same gum since September 25, 1990

I can't get enough of this video. How do you cover one of the most iconic songs by a legend while he is front row center accompanied by the President, the President's family, and everyone else in the room ? Dave might even be able to answer that clearly.

This song was made for Dave to cover.

Beautiful performance. Dave Grohl is fantastic!!

Dave Grohi should be so proud of doing justice to another of Paul's countless and genius compositions!

I will do anything to have hair like dave's hair

“Stuck inside these four wall” what a nice words for this kind of days, Sir Paul

Foo Fighters - one of the greatest shows I’ve ever been to, reminds me of my friend Steve. Dave recommended the Zac Brown band to me, amongst others, also one of greatest bands/shows you’ll ever see.

Stevie's diggin' that one

Wow - mightily impressed by Dave Grohl. What a fantastic rendition.

I ABSOLUTELY loved that. Keep coming back again and again. What a great interpretation. Thanks Dave and THE Band!

Dave is such a legend, great cover this one.

This is a great band and especially the drummer. Excellent drumming. Dave can sing. Just awsome

Damn Dave killed this! One of my fav songs by Sir Paul during his Wings era!

Man, in 1983 I had a catastrophic motorcycle wreck, five weeks in the hospital, five surgeries and long term recovery stuck inside four walls and they played this song every single day........

From punk rock drummer to lead vocalist in the East Room. What a story.

What an amazing life Dave is living

Did the song proud . Great rendition , great band . Provokes a thought that there is a bit of passing the torch here too . Just a cool video and a classically great tune . Well done David , and the rest of the band !

Grohl nailed certain parts of this. Props to Paul's band, they always deliver as close to as the record as you can get

Wings was such an amazing band in the exact time Paul needed it. Timeless excellence! ❤

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. 👏🏼

And Grohl goes for an amazing word by word note by note interpretation of the original .... with vocals that make 99.9 of all Rock singers green with envy Thank YOU Dave , few people can go to Paul and say " You SIR changed my life , you are the sountrack to my existence and for that I THANK YOU" you have done it for all of us.

Everything Dave Grohl does is magic.

Just finished listening to his audiobook after reading it for the first time as soon as it’s been released a year or so ago. Still amazing, all his stories still magnificient. And aparently, I’ve already been here earlier but the video is as amazing 😊

The secret service taking a coffee break... when things used to be beautiful

Love when Obama goes "Yeaahhh" when Dave says he's a native of the Washington area.

What a man...!!What a genius...!!I will always love him🙏❤️

Wish I could have seen Paul's face during Dave's growls. Fckn amazing performance!!!

remember when a President used to do this stuff?

Was anyone thinking "Please hit the notes Dave, please hit the notes🤞"? He did! Well done him!
