This may be my favorite McCartney performance. He usually so guarded but you can see the real artist here.

Take away the poem and I'd've still enjoyed it. I wish Paul would play this style more often, because he rocks it!

Oh My God. this is just fantastic! Just today I discovered Beatles in is fact Les Beat! Got it? The Beat generation. Now I find this...only to confirm. I am in heaven! Look at Paul's expression of adoration.

This is so great,the reading of a poem with much meaning and thought about the injustices that have gone on and are still going on by uncaring greedy earth polluting and plundering companies and the lying, cowardly bought off politicians that have let it go on and on... and that is some great guitar by a very talented natural born musician,singer & composer that can go places....cheers & thanks for posting..it is a great work of art

Allen took great delight in playing with young talented boys who were going places...Few if any have complained...Except for Allen also taking great delight in droning on all night far from any recognizable pitch or tune with or without his harmonium, um, if ya know what I mean...Paul shouldn't be discouraged, he'll make it to the big stages. Like Allen, Paul's also got a knack for dodging the really nasty risk factors! Good faith can take one to many worthy humane ends...ba ding

I have always wondered what a Paul McCartney / Patti Smith collaboration would be like.

Some people (Paul) you can tell they've been playing guitar for so long. Not the most technically careful or anything, but plays so naturally and authentically it would be pointless to try and replicate

There's a little mistake on the video credits. It's actually Royal Albert Hall 1995. --- On 16th October 1995 Paul joined legendary poet Allen Ginsberg on stage at the Royal Albert Hall, the two of them collaborating on a version of Ginsberg's poem Ballad Of The Skeletons. A year later, Paul recorded a version of the poem in the studio with Ginsberg, the CD version of which is now a collector's item.

I think the best music comes from collaboration. This is a wonderful example with pioneers of poetry and music. Ginsberg shows his unique sense of humor, and this is proof of McCartney's guitar chops.

The best guitar I've ever heard Paul McCartney play

Sadly there are no billionaires who deserve every penny. I know thats not what your literally getting at. But I just feel the need to call everyone to actually take a second to realize how much a billion dollars is, and then how there are individuals with tens of billions and approaching a hundred billion dollars. If you spent 100 dollars every hour shopping, you would be shopping for 416,666,666 days with no breaks for sleep or walking or eating (youd have to literally just be sitting at the screen buying things), or 801,282 years with every single second accounted for. Considering that a huge majority of people on earth never even own 100 US dollars, its an astronomical figure. If someone with a billion dollars put it in a bank account that only pays 1% you would make 10 million dollars a year for doing nothing. And thats without compounding. Put that into stocks and its even more ridiculous. Now if only we could... tax this?

The fact the Epiphone is a bit out of tune just makes this more "beat generation" and countercultural hahaha

this is so good, Paul needs (needed) to do more music like this x

Recorded almost thirty years ago, and I don't hear a line that's out of date. Sixty years ago, Allen was similarly calling attention to what Dylan would later call the "idiot wind" that blows and blows against ordinary, decent people. It's why poets have to keep talking back to it. RIP Allen Ginsberg, American bard.

Gotta love Ginsberg. Throws himself at everything without the least bit of self consciousness.. This seemed awkward in parts but the spirit of the two to invent and take a risk shone though into a really good performance. All power to Ginsberg and McCartney.

Surprised that Paul didn't use a left handed guitar. It's one thing replacing the nut with a left handed, but when the jack socket and controls are in the way of your forearm it doesn't seem worth it? It doesn't look as if he is playing right handed chords either?

Paul's had that guitar since 1964. It was originally a right handed guitar, but he had it modified so that he can play it.
