These two sound really great together. Respect for George Michael. Not too many can hold their own with the Maccaman.

[javiercastro]

Notice how George Michael is constantly watching Paul, the admiration is perceptible.

[frederiquemartin]

George must have been awfully proud to sing with Paul. He was a big fan of the Beatles. I have always loved them both. You can t do better than these two in the world of music. Can you?

[derekstocker]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks guys!
What a great performance and cannot believe that George is no longer with us, but we have great videos such as this to still marvel at his talent! RIP George. Still listening in 2024.

This is such a clear example of Paul's abilities to play a bass line and sing a melody line at the same time. Many bass players are able to do so, but it isn't as easy as they make it look. The muscle memory required to play while singing is such that it's not thought about consciously.

[billybronco]

All that talent on one stage. If only George had a sense of how much he was loved by people all around the world maybe he'd still be with us. It was not just his talent but the character of the man that people loved.

[nomsitaharitashya]

two legends sharing a stage. how incredibly lucky was the audience.

[redgloveswriting]

You can see just how much performing with Paul McCartney means to George here!

[chrisstorey]

Their vocals are equally good. Paul is playing a finger-knacking bass riff too. And playing bass and singing is like performing two different songs at the same time.

When it is time for me to go to heaven i want George to take my hand

[tunesmusic]

George Michael had one of the best voices in Pop -

[buzzbates]

I remember how Bono and Bruce Springsteen both said they could not believe it when they performed live with Macca. Imagine sharing a stage with one of the actual Beatles. Amazing. George was a huge fan of the Beatles. And as a writer he could not have met anyone more influential and legendary.

[neriashleycabajar]

Paul would never forget this moment, George Michael is gone now!

[MrMjp]

Paul's great rock voice. Powerful, in tune and listener-friendly.

[rick_dba_rick]

What I like here are all the well deserved RIP's and missing you's for George Michael. Remember that the bass line Paul plays comes from a guitar riff laid down by George Harrison and the two played it together on the Beatles' version. RIP George Harrison.

[vincenzoamatruda]

Oh my God, the world of music and entertainment, misses George so

[mrpattersontheartguy]

Two music legends performing one of the best songs. That was amazing

[mariahooks]

What a treat to watch these 2 amazing people singing together!

[manuelguariguata]

What a great performance. A short tune but every second of it is priceless. R.I.P. G.M.

[PFCD]

I love watching clips when I know George must have been truly really happy. He said he grew up idolizing The Beatles so knowing the things he had said, this performance must have been on his dream come true list!
