Kennedy Center Honors 2010-Paul McCartney- Let it Be

[U2Fanatic4ever]

this just blew me away last night and had Paul in tears.. WOW...

YouTube - HD,Final live,33 RD, Annual Kennedy Center Honors .2010 , HD 1080 p.




I was in tears by the time this was over.. This is my favorite Beatles song and always moves me to tears every time.

One of the best Beatles songs ever written.

enjoy.

i have far too many negative comments that i want to make, so i think i will keep them to myself for once.

Was that Alec Baldwin on stage at the end?

THE 'DWIN!

THE BALD!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Sorry, but that was unbelievably cheesy.

Seriously, dude looked like he was having a blast, which, I think was kind of the aim here, so who cares if it was cheesy, imo?

Though Oprah was cracking me up.

I love Let it Be. That was beautiful. I loved how into it the Obamas were. Michelle was stunning as always.

I saw the No Doubt performance too. I am also convinced that Gwen Stefani took that potion from Death Becomes Her, she just doesn't age.

yeah I know the woman is ageless.. I liked David Grohl and Nora Jone's performance too.

He did Paul's introduction.

I liked David Grohl and Nora Jone's performance too.

Maybe I'm Amazed is such a beautiful song. I liked the performance, but would have preferred it as a Dave solo.

Though Oprah was cracking me up.

definitely laughed my ass off when she started clapping during the "hey jude" part. the look on her face is totally "OMG! i know this part! i clap now!"

 

[Jeannieco]

I enjoyed it too. Great song and I love James Taylor, he is an American icon and treasure.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I think Let it Be and Hey Jude are both inherently cheesy songs, so I can't really get offended by this. If Paul liked it and I got a chuckle out of it, everyone wins.

But let's get down to what really matters, the important stuff:

It was an awesome show but obama is not kool at all! He's an idiot,liberal socialist!

What a terrible performance. So cheesy, and the lazy blues scale chords thrown in during Mavis' portion just ruined it. By the time they got to that aborted foetus of a fudged guitar solo, it was sunk. Paul is known for his cheesy side, but this was bad enough to make Bluebird seem like a death march.

Perfect example of how to ruin something wonderfully simple with a bunch of tacked-on bullshit.

So disappointing when you consider how wonderful the Springsteen tribute was last year.

as much as i hate sting, he actually did a decent job. and while usually epic choirs like that just tend to irritate me, that one just makes sense.

but i really want to smash that guitar over james taylor's head.

I guess this thread gets a big ! I did not see the Kennedy Center Honors this year, but I did see a performance, which I think was from 2009, of him performing as well as other guests performing on stage from the White House the other night on PBS and I quite enjoyed it. It also made me realize I should have just shelled out the money to go see him at Piedmont Park when he performed here in the summer of 2009.
