Fun Fact: Paul McCartney has said that if John Lennon was still alive and they were all present, The Beatles would have reunited at the original Live Aid.

Anyone else expecting Ringo to pop out and sing "With a little help from my friends"?

The way Bono was looking at him. You can tell that every other musician absolutely adores Paul, he's like a God

[deniswastaken]

The way Bono was looking at Paul at the beginning, dude that's how a person looks at his inspiration. Both are absolute legends of their era. Respect ☮️.

Paul is playing John's rhythm guitar part here

0:17 look how amazing it is Bono staring at Paul and maybe thinking this my great idol.

I still get the shivers with the first few chords - the Beatles sound ! Those of us older folks remember when the Sgt Peppers album (LP) came out and just turned the musical world upside down, and spaced out our heads, beginning with the psychedelic cover. It became our music, the music of our generation. And how well it holds out in this clip for a younger generation, with Bono getting into it with his heart and soul. Long live sir Paul.

"So let me introduce to you, the one and only Billy Shears!"


Uninvited Ringo: Am I a joke to you?

[dannymiles]

I was utterly blown away when i watched this live. It was surreal. Such an honour for U2 onstage with Paul doin one of the greatest ever songs.
The honour dont come higher being its Sgt Peppers

[royfablooo]

Sgt. Peppers is one of those song that should be played like in every gig.

[claudephotographer]

I am absolutely blown away! Once you start looking listening you can’t stop seeing the clip! Big thanks Paul and the other Beatles!

Paul MacCartney:

1999= Young
2000= Old

[katrinasjansone]

Imagine playing on the same stage as your childhood hero, the man who wrote the songs that your band started by doing covers of them

[azapro]

U2 well and truly did this justice, excellent performance.

[farabovetheclouds]

I remember this! I was there at the front, love you Paul! You were awesome! 🥰

[muhammadrezamahendra]

I really love paul shake his head...never changed

[danieltekkerz]

This is such an underrated performance

[juliageorge]

Incredible to see my boys from U2 alongside a legend in PM one of the best amazing intro's I have ever seen and could watch it again again and again

[Rutger]

Who would have thought that their voices sound that good together!

[conor]

This is a perfect way to open a show I may have bias because this is my favourite song by the beatles
