I thought the same thing. It's not easy, I mean their applause is wonderful, but you're thinking, um, please let me keep my guitar going. :) I don't know if they have mics that help them tune out to the crowd somewhat to reflect their own singing, I think it's something like this. That, and of course, ages of practice. :)

Yeah, about the clapping - in a huge venue like this the speed of sound makes it sound like the audience is clapping out of step - but to their ears they are perfectly in sync with the (delayed) sound....add that same delay from the clapping audience to the on-stage mic and you have quite a difference.

The Beatles... 4 young men, 1 had timing unsurpassed, 1 had a great guitar playing coming into his own right towards the last couple of years. 1 was a genius and could make the guitar hum and buzz writing many classics. 1 was a god playing many instruments, writing many classics and still going today. Together they were a force of nature. Okay McCartmey did some duds outside of the Beatles but boy was he talented and when he goes the world should weep

This song is my favorite song on the White Album as well as Dear Prudence.

This man is a treasure

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG AND PAUL'S VOICE! HEAVENLY! PAUL IS A MYSTICAL MAN! HIS TALENT AND CREATIVITY KNOWS NO DEPTHS! IT GOES ON AND ON THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE AND COMES TO US IN LYRICS AND MELODIES THAT WE WONDER HOW PAUL DOES IT. YOU'RE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS, SIR PAUL!

What's so amazing that so many people go to his concerts! It's Paul McCartney for heaven's sake! His concerts are sold out and people pay a pretty penny for a ticket! He is the number one musician in the world and makes the most money! And the amount is outrageous! Michael Jackson is number two on the list. Not a surprise there! I love those Beatles!

I love this, my mom just had a stroke but is taking her broken wings and learning to fly again. Thank you Lord!

Paul was so ahead of his time. Just a true musical genius.

I have been learning this song recently at age 67 as part of a 'bucket list'. As a life long devotee of the so-called "popular song", I don't think I can think of a more inspired Beatles' song .... so simple a thought ... and yet so profound and poetic (if Wordsworth could sing, he might have come up with such an idea!). Above all - a rarity in pop music - a song that's not "all about me" ... who knew?

Voice is still great and a super performer ignoring an audience who cannot seem to keep time with the music. Love the song.

I like that Paul plays the song differently everytime in terms of feel and tempo. It gives the song a real personal feeling to the moment.

Dad used to sing and play this song all throughout my life growing up. I'm 28 now. I lost him last year and made sure to play it at his funeral. Tear up so much everytime I hear hear it.

Just one more example of Paul's capacity to stand alone and excel.

I am French speaking I do not understand English much, however I like the music of the beatles and when I was a teenager when I learned to play the guitar it was on the music of the beatles ...my English was very bad but somewhere I could feel the vibrations in my heart thanks to their music .... Despite his age, Paul is still a music fan he could sit on his millions and enjoy it but his pleasure in living is to share his music with us and make it known to future generations

@Greg Normal I love all the Wings stuff, Band On The Run, Live and Let Die, With a little luck, and Blackbird, My Love (does it good), Hey Jude....... and love 'Standing Stone'. In fact, pretty much everything he has ever done! I admire the person he is, which really comes through his lyrics. I loved Linda as well. Have a good day!

Blackbird has and will always be a special song for me. Cause it sounds like a cry but a happy cry. Like something beautiful just happened infront of you

It's actually about the sixties US civil rights movement, inspired by black schoolgirls he saw on TV trying to get into school at Little Rock. In sixties Liverpool a "bird" was a girl but I don't suppose he'd ever admit nowadays to anything so obviously un-PC!

Paul as awesome as ever 👏👏👏

Hey man, for some reason I love all the legendary songs from The Beatles, even though I'm only 16 years old and I feel like I'm in 1960

It's so sad to see he play without his old friends, the friends who were with him from 18 and now you see they unfortunately passed away and he is alone. :( Rip John🖤 (today is his 40th Anniversary) Rip George 🖤

I love this man

Not even kidding, this song makes me cry EVERY time, since the day I first heard it.

Paul is greatest singer / songwriter of ALL TIME ......

This song epitomizes McCartney's versatility and genius. You will appreciate this piece even more if you are learning to play guitar. You will marvel at the complexity and innovative techniques of the chord structure and the finger-picking pattern (in addition to the hauntingly beautiful and poetical lyrics). Definitely right up there among the greatest acoustic guitar compositIons ever. Take a bow, Sir Paul!

This song is so f&*king beautiful.

What a beautiful song!!!

The world is rarely graced with someone of such pure genius. I love the simplicity of this song, just a guitar and vocals. No fancy autotune or electronic instruments, just a man, his guitar, and his talent. Truly a work of greatness. This man is so special that the entire Earth will shed a tear upon his passing. There is no one like him. Rock On Forever Paul.

Absolutely! And he's managed to stay so positive and optimistic in a pretty negative world. That is a gift as well.

paul McCarthney is nothing short of a legend! this is perhaps one o his best songs.

Come on people. Stop complaining about the clapping and just enjoy the song already. That's why you're here for.

I love this song and I love when Paul played ▶️ 😍

this video taught me how to play this song! I like how it zoomed in on his hands a lot, it helped me pick it up. if he ever watched KZread videos of himself, particularly this one, he should know he inspired another lefty to start playing the guitar. it's such a beautiful song that I had to learn it. pulled a hendrix on my mom's old guitar and decided to give it a whirl

He has inspired me to get my guitar out too. I'll never play before huge audiences like he does. . . But, if you watch his interviews, he consistently says that he would still play - even if no one came to his concerts anymore. He just LOVES music. That's a great motive, I gotta admit. That's a really pure motive, actually. It inspired me, anyway.

The man is a genius. I had the good fortune to see him live, and he played this song. Pure magic.

the greatest musician/song writer of all time...bar none!

Amazing how Paul seems to sing to each person despite his being in front of thousands he cannot even see! Gifted!

First song I ever learned to fully play on guitar. In hindsight starting with fingerpicking might've been throwing myself in the deep end, but stuck with it till I had it. It never gets old!

The audience's clapping was only a hindrance to Paul's perfect guitar performance.

Everyone knows McCartney's a bit of a legend. Awesome song...and his voice is still on man.

I can barely play this normally, never mind while singing. What a legend

Paul is a genius very talented. Simple an brilliant

My dad used to play this all the time, i miss those simpler time

I'm so glad youtube exist for me to discover Magnificent Songs.

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG THIS SHOULD BE TRENDING!!!

Don't feel bad, this song is about as pure as life gets. I've always felt blessed to live in this time. I got to laugh hysterically at Monty Python, I got to listen to the Beatles, particularly this song. Also, I got to live free, play computer games into my old age and post this comment to you. Count your blessings, Blackbird.

Paul wasn't just the "cute Beatle", he was the Best Beatle!
