I always admired Paul's intelligence and political savvy. To me, he hasn't been just a musical influence, but a personal one.
Yes well said
@@kurikokaleidoscope That's precisely how I feel about John Lennon, who I have to believe would have been there.
@@BlackAndWhiteBand Imagine what it would have been like if the Beatles had briefly reunited for Live Aid
Nice of him to bring up George’s Relief Concert
great interview thanks for posting iy.
I love you Paulie 💘🤩👑
He meant to say Queen at the end.

His look here is a vibe.
Still a Scouse at this point! Beautiful human!
Paul did really good bob geldof lol
Geldolf did everything except make sure that Paul’s microphone was working.

I hate to say it. Linda does not look well.
It's so gentlemanly of him to not pick out one artist who did well in the concert - on that day the world has witnessed many iconic moments and this whole event has really changed how the music industry approaches society-related causes. Paul is a brilliant musician and a really wholesome human being, bless him ❤️ and RIP Linda
Realistically, it's mainly because he hadn't seen any of it. Of all the things Paul was in the early 80's (and as much as I love him and his creativity) a gentleman he wasn't.
Michael Tighe I was actually there. David Bowie and U2 were as good, if not better.
Paul is a walking diplomatic PR machine he never gives any negative critism. Plus how many times have you seen him swear. Used to really annoy Lennon because he was not as good a PR man.
@@nigefal true story, they were real opposites, but I guess that's why great things happened (musically & lyrically) when they were clashing ✊🏻
I think Live Aid was the peak of human civilization. People were at their very best when we all came together for a good cause.
You need to do some research about the situation in Ethiopia in the 80's. The civil war that Live Aid helped finance killed more people in 1985-86 than the 1984-85 famine. Geldof in a disgrace, a lying heartless narcissist who has played almost as big a con trick on the world as the sociopathic sadist who was Mother Theresa.
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 Wow, that's alot of misplaced anger. You picked two of the nicest people on the planet to attack, how about directing some of the responsibility to the warlords who tried to profit? Anyway, seek help ok?
It was actually shit if you watch it in full
Nah, that was the Monterey Pop Festival of ‘67
That is just hyperbole. Way over the top. Better than space travel, the pyramids, the internet, electricity, the car, the wheel, fire, discovery of DNA and the double helix.
Live Aid was a peak of all that? McCartney's microphone was muted for two minutes in his own song for a start. Not only that he had no way of hearing his own voice or the piano properly.
The way I look at it live aid was a small piece of reverse colonialism trying to undo some of the damage Europe did when they carved up the African continent. But because of colonisation and the likes of Britain and manufacturing countries like Nigeria. There us still unrest today.
A few pop stars singing a few songs for a famine in Ethiopia is only a drop in the ocean of what needs to be fixed.
Linda hermosaa 😍 a wonderful woman, and Paul an amazing musician.
I like how Linda lets him do the talking. Unlike an interview with John and Yoko, where the interviewer asks John a question directly, and Yoko interjects. Like anybody other than John or herself had any interest in hearing her opinions. Linda was a strong voice also, with important opinions, but she understood her position in a given conversation. Linda was Class
Steady with what you say or you might upset the feminists who'll accuse you of saying wives shouldn't voice their opinions 😆
Your comment is a lot of rubbish.
And John would be the first feminist to call you out on that.
@@frankboyd. Yes when he was hitting Yoko
@@VideoAmericanStyle It's not Yoko hate. It's pointing the fact out that when Lennon was doing interviews, he had her up there with him because he didn't wanna be away from her and she would always interrupt what he was saying when the interviewer didn't ask for her opinion. Literally nobody besides Lennon wanted to hear her voice
@@VideoAmericanStyle everybody knows yoko is 🗑
As a Paul McCartney fan, this is one question that I've been asking since Band Aid was organized. Why was'nt he included on the original session? It's only now that I heard the answer.
He’s so cute 🥺
Linda was such a wonderful supportive wife.
God BLESS
Linda mc cartney
Paul we love you too.
Greeting from Germany ♠ ♠ ♠
This is probably the most grey I’ve ever seen Macca’s hair. The man uses dyes for his hair but you’d never guess it considering most people have never seen him with a full head of grey
Yet he looks amazing still
I wonder if John Lennon was still alive then would he do Live Aid?
He wouldn’t of been allowed if yoko wanted to join in on backing vocals.........
@@dreadpirateroberts4052 Nobody invited her to Live Aid that's saying something.She would of just screamed her head off.
This on true facts on dec 8 1980 John say he thinking about touring with double Fantasy he also say he would do it when another album come out (Milk And honey release 1984)). Let say he survive his attack he would took hafe of 1981 of recovering so the milk and honey would of probably be release 1982-83 so then he would do a tour.
I think so
@@dreadpirateroberts4052 lol
sadly in the end - the money never goes to the people in need - it goes into the military directly into the coffers of arms and further weapons to suppress the people its a bloody shame that ! hope and idealism goes a long way! - Phil Collins used this as a marketing event to publicize his solo career and to help people in need - well done Phil! Cheers!
I love when Paul does not go politically correct just like that when he's pushed to give nice answers.
He was trained at a very young age in the beatles to not get into that sort of stuff, but they were also the first to do it.
I'm 66 now, and I have no hesitation in saying 13th July 1985 was one of the most monumental days of my life. Thankyou Bob Geldof.
Nobody can quote Geldof without impersonating his accent.
Always wondered how much Bob give out of his own pocket.I hope it as has big as he’s mouth
Yeah, how is Bob geldoff a mega millionaire... off his deeply crappy band, boomtown rats?? i Don't think so!!
@@GooglSucksDisk
Boomtown Rats were amazing.
Well said, Linda.
I still think if only more music legends on the American side actually signed up or showed up this event could've been just even more astronomically out of this world.
Just take a look at the who's who at the We Are the World recording...where the f**k were they..??
MJ, Diana, the Boss, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Willie, Ray, Cyndi, Van Halen, Journey... Prince.
‘Some corrupt government officials pocket’ band aid in a sentence
I love this guy. God bless him
The Geldof impression is poor, but Paul sounds strangely Irish here!
This comment will probably be looked over, but I think paul looks really sad here
I noticed that too, usually he always looks happy & playful
Compared to interviews from the 60s and 70s, imo he always looks sad in interviews from the 1980s. You can just immediately tell by how much more serious and less playful he is the interview is after December 1980.
Paul, the best person ever!
A Beatles reunion would have happened here if some maniac hadnt taken out John.
Damn cute and genius Paul.🔥
1:25 my country name🇧🇩🇧🇩! love you paul & rip George 💝
The buildup to the concert was "Will The Beatles play Live Aid?" The papers were full of stories saying that Paul...George...& Ringo would get together with Julian Lennon and play "Live Aid". The 3 of them were rehearsing with Julian at a secret location...etc. Harrison had just gotten back from Australia the day before...and was besieged by the press at the airport in London asking "Are The Beatles getting together with Julian Lennon to play at Live Aid?" George told them he knew nothing about it! Paul was pissed that George & Ringo did not attend!
Thank god that didn’t happen
Live Aid wasn't worth a pitcher of piss anyway, it's the charitable equivalent of giving a fiver to a tramp.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 it really wouldn't have been bad
Grey hair at the age of 43!
That's decent isnt it? Most men don't have any, I'm only 24 but I'd kill to look that good now come to think of it.
Well he had lived a 'full life' up to this point. I think he looks very young and healthy, considering.
Most people go grey around 40
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 Especially dark haired people Iike Paul. My Dad had black hair and my Mom said he found his first gray hair at 27!
0:26 *y'know*
2:30 "I can see the elastic band in back holding that thing on your head. I can't help keep looking at it. " Linda on the couch. (Maybe not too happy here with her own personal Beetle?)
Wait what are you talking about?
@@justindebruin7733 wiggage
What's going on with Paul's face? Is it a special filter or something?
great interview
A slighlty drunk Paul is always funny
Love the man and the woman! But please no lecturing on climate, veggies, etc. but you’re beautiful human being!
And linda there ❤️
0:32 pretty damn good Paul
Paul you are lovely
Linda: god, let me go home
Yes! My boy Paul!
39 years ago is wild.
First
ur second

It still makes me angry when I remember how your vocals got cut off 😠. But it was still great to see you and hear what we could hear. ♥️😃🤞☝️
But while compiling the 2004 DVD they were found to have been picked up by a secondary microphone and recorded onto a previously uncatalogued multi-track audio tape of his performance in the BBC archives. So all's well that ends well.
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 , no, Paul did a new vocal overdub in his own studio the other day. That was used for the DVD. The Beatles had done so before with their concert at Shea Stadium. You can"t get a proper sound from a secondary mic that's not anywhere near to Paul's mouth.
@@ifaeeafiify If so explain the retrieved Freddie Mercury vocals on Is This the Word We Created.
Also I doubt they would have went to the trouble of rerecording Paul's voice and not taken opportunity to fix Nik Kershaw and Simon Le Bon's moments of singing flat (which weren't included on the DVD) or the faulty sound mix during The Temptations partially obscured their vocals during their first two numbers (included on the DVD but noticeably poor sounding)
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 There was never any mic issue (except for some feedback) at the Mercury/May performance. It's just that McCartney's microphone was accientally unplugged afterwards and for the fist two verses of "Let It Be". You can hear some backstage chatter before Macca's voice becomes audible (in the original live transmission).
It was McCartney's initiative to rerecord his voice immediately afterwards - although it was unclear if it would ever be used (it wasn't before the DVD release 2 decades later). He did it by himself in his own studio, as I wrote before. No Live Aid staff was involved, no other artists were affected. No trouble for anyone (except McCartney himself).
@@ifaeeafiify I was going to post the live BBC broadcast version of Freddie Mercury & Brian May performing "Is This the World We Created" at Live Aid but it appears every upload was blocked or deleted as part of the great Live Aid clip cull that coincided with the launch of this channel, meaning only the corrected version is available.
Re the live broadcast Mercury's vocals were bordering on inaudible for most of the performance and you'll notice that even on the official 2004 DVD version his vocals are oddly distant sounding.
I have never heard the McCartney story before, not in 35 years, so I'm 100% sure you're mistaken. When the DVD was released the story was it was retrieved from a lucky accidental secondary microphone recording found on an uncatalogued b-roll tape in found the BBC archives.
Considering most of the DVD fixes came from previously unused and uncatalogued archived BBC and MTV b-roll material (ABC wiped everything, they held nothing except a few news clips) I'll believe Warner's and the Band Aid Trust over you.
"dealing in messages", same as it always was.
Thanks CIA?

And what do you think, Linda?
I love it 😻
I Love it 😻
please live aid 1 interview of sir elton john or backstage rare thanks💚💛🧡♥️🇨🇵🇬🇧🍾🥂
Uh
@@cardboardheadguy7814 ?
He didn’t get interview
@@cardboardheadguy7814 patience patience 😸😊
No seriously he was never interview
i like how linda just keeps quite. she realizes its not her place to talk. unlike somebody else we know.
She was pretty talkative during Wings 1975 Australian tour and 1976 Rockshow tour as well. Since then she preferred to keep quiet. Maybe she checked those 1975-1976 videos and made some notes for herself, who knows. But she's better when being silent, that’s true.
McCartney forever
I love him 🥺🥺🥺
Has Linda ever been seen in the same room with Sondra Locke?
Good video
*...and the one question he should have and could have asked and he didn't was guess what? - No prizes for guessing!*
Yeah...Concert for Bangladesh. He wasn't there
Who... did he wave to?
Love the beatles
te amo Paul
♥️♥️🌏
Più lo guardo e più mi innamoro e gli voglio bene.
3:12 "Avicii"?

LOVE THS. BACKSTAGE STUFF !!!@
And yet in the end, how well spent was that money?
Like when I hear one of them and you hear or feel bits of the others.
Do I hear Heroes in the bg?
😉😃
John lenni 😔👊🏻hubiera sido épico
Lennon
❤🙃
I have to say, Linda isn't a good advert for a vegetarian diet. She's just skin and bone.
She literally looks normal
ludicrous, she looks completely fine.
I agree, she looks malnourished here
Gosto muito do Paul e não entendo de inglês falado , mas me da impressão de arrogância nele
Phil Collins concorda com vc.
He has a good kind of arrogance. In the wings period he was annoying but most of the time he's fine
Linda era peor que yoko.
Que estas fumando?
Gotta love Paul McCartney, especially when he was in The Beatles. The Beatles were actually Roger, John and My favourite band! Freddie liked The Who and Oasis. -Bri
Hello Brian
Oasis formed in 91. I doubt he even knew of them. And I doubt you are Brian
He actually really liked them before he died. -Bri
the “- bri” isn’t cutting it for us mate
@@charlie9712 Oasis played their first gig on 18 August 1991. They weren't even signed yet, and Freddie by that time was resigned to his home dying in pain.
Please stop saving the world. Thanks anyway.
Turns out the money didn't go where it was needed after all. Exactly as many established charities such as Christian Aid and Oxfam, not to mention artists such as Frank Zappa and Huey Lewis who where both asked but refused to perform at Live Aid, predicted.
Nonsense.
What a crock of crap
@@JasonC1782 As early as 1986 the truth was out there with this famous bit of investigative journalism: www.spin.com/featured/live-aid-the-terrible-truth-ethiopia-bob-geldof-feature/
The 1984/85 famine was caused by Ethiopian's dictator lead government's own actions against it's people in the name of fighting communism, though in reality protecting their own power. Ethnic cleansing and forced relocation of "communist sympathizers" went on to kill more Ethiopians than famine during 1985/86.
Yet despite being informed of the true situation Geldof chose to carry on his misguided mission and powered by his own arrogance and lies of omission raised around $100million much of which went straight to the dictators of Africa, not the people it was supposed to help.
The truth is out there and easy to find.
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 Trouble with truth is when you do take the time to sniff it out you realise everyone who SHOULD or could do something about it are too busy keeping well away from it, I'm feelng more and more like the time we have alive is better spent just enjoying your own little world than getting caught up frustrated and lonely concerning yourself with the bigger one, its a corrupt shithole outside with an excuse note we can't question
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 Heartbreaking.
Thanks.
También a Paul, QUEEN LE PATEO EL TRASERO!!!
The video quality is pretty bad for 1985 to be honest... It looks like it was filmed in the late 60s or early 70s
That's just it- it's not video, it's film; it deteriorates with scratches and dust and noise if not properly stored
@@maltreatedpony Oof
@@gaminglegend 😆you're right though, it looks pretty dated
its Analog
It’s analogue 16 mm film transferred to video tape and then copied to a digital file via some custom computer program.
