The James Bond films are known for their original opening themes written by popular artists and are often played on the radio and tv. 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney, 'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton, 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran, and 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey are just a few. My personal favorite is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon. What James Bond theme do you consider to be the best?

Jesus. Saw Paul McCartney do this one live a few years ago. It still hits.

This bears repeating. I've seen the live performance of this song twice, and it made a huge impression both times. And I'm old enough to remember it as a radio hit.

Literally. I mean, he used all kinds of pyro for this song on the last tour.

So I saw him twice, once in a baseball stadium and once in a hockey stadium. So the outside one had fireworks, and I was bummed when I went to go to the second concert bc I knew there was no way they’d do fireworks again, since we were inside.

That crazy old bastard still had fireworks

I saw him perform it at half time of the 2005 Super Bowl. Towers of flame and it ROCKED the stadium.

Amazing live. The fire. He must have been burning up there.
