Is there a Paul ICONIC video?

... The Deluxe remaster of Wings Over America is a bit pricey, but well worth the money. An incredibly well put together edition with incredible attention to detail! A must have if you're a McCartney fan.
Totally agree. Deluxe remaster of Ram was well done too.

Ram is the only one that I splurged for the entire 'deluxe' package (where can you go wrong with mono and stereo Ram as well as Thrillington - not to mention a lot of nice artwork and other goodies) But that's not to say I didn't pick up all of the other 'archive' releases so far with at least a previously unreleased bonus disc

For my money it's Coming Up. A truly great (for it's tme) technical marvel, and for the first time since 1969, we get to see a Hofner strapped around his neck.

for me, its Coming Up too. I remember vividly watching SNL in 1980 as a youngster, and seeing the video. It was fun, clever, and rather groundbreaking for the time. (I still love it and now my kids do too). I don't know if it's something that would be used (hopefully) many many many years from now when looking back at his life though. It's too cheeky for that. But as far as capturing the essence of his solo career and reflecting his personality, I think Coming Up is pretty iconic. Back to the SNL episode... it was the one with Father Guido Sarduci (sp?) tried to get a live interview with Paul and Linda but he didn't think about the time difference. They ended up coming out in their jammies to talk to him. He sang a Beatles medly on a bullhorn that was quite funny.

You make me feel quite old--"youngster"--I was 25!! I've been watching SNL ever since it started in 1974 (when I was in my last year as a teenager!) I loved Father Guido Sarducci! (2 c's)

Oh gosh, I didn't mean it like that!! I was 8 and knew it was an adult show but I had much older siblings (oops baby here!) who all watched so I got to see it too. I stayed up late just to watch Paul. Even at 8 years old I was totally enchanted by him! I loved his head shakes as Beatle Paul.

I was jk around with you! I was 8 when I fell in love with Paul on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964!

Oh I know!! I got hooked at 5 years old from the album art in Wings Over America. (and still hooked almost 40 years later!)

I vividly remember watching the Father Guido Sarducci thing, because I taped it on audio tape (complete with my sister's friend's yelps of laughter). That "serenade" was hilarious: "And he tells me, Hey Jude, do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell Eleanor Rigby pickin' up-a rice-a in a church-a where a wedding has been?" I think I would have to agree on "Coming Up" as iconic for Paul, because so many people were exposed to that video when there wasn't even MTV yet! But also "Say Say Say," because it got such intense attention and nonstop airplay (video play?) when it was new. I think in "Pipes of Peace" the concept and message kind of overshadowed Paul himself. "Take It Away" was also kind of a big deal when it came out, since it was the most expensive video ever at the time. The live "Maybe I'm Amazed" definitely captures rock 'n' roll Paul, though, and the David Frost "Hey Jude" captures Beatle Paul.

I think if we are talking best music video/clip, then it has to be Coming Up. That was great. And is iconic.
-
I agree with "Coming Up." Definitely.
-
Heart Of The Country Coming Up Tug Of War Hope of Deliverance Say Say Say Say Say Say as over 27 million hits on youTube , think the public would maybe vote for this video .
-
I think maybe it'll be Maybe I'm Amazed. As I said in the beginning...with John's life being cut so short his work also ends right there. It stopped. So there is not as much to choose from. Know what I mean? Paul has put out so many to choose from but I think maybe a tie...between Maybe I'm Amazed & Coming Up.
-
I think when the time happens...they will show him singing All My Loving on Ed Sullivan & Hey Jude. Maybe Coming up, but will def. show him on stage somewhere from the last few years.......I don't like thinking about this...
-
I know...I don't either. It's just that every DVD compilation I see of John it has Imagine on it. I just wondered what Paul will be remembered for.
-
Hey Jude (video) for sure. And of course The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and Yesterday, don't forget that iconic tune (and him singing it in 1965 on Ed Sullivan)
-
yeah...Beatle Paul.
-
oobu24:
yeah...Beatle Paul.
I don't mean to say they won't have Wings stuff in there, but his solo career after 1980 will be largely ignored, unfortunately.

Same as he practically ignores it.

Yep.
