We all know that Paul’s voice has gone but he can fill stadiums of people, he is so adored all over the world. Paul also looks so well, he still looks fit in his 80s. Go Paul ❤
Paul's voice isn't gone in the slightest. Well, ok, that was an overstatement but I assure you his voice is in top form. My Dad and I just saw him live last month after 12 years of not going to one of his concerts and the Two of Us were completely amazed at how good his voice sounds. The phone recordings (and some of his official recordings as well) inevitably highlight the cracks and frailties in his voice but I can assure you they aren't noticeable at all live. I suppose it also depends on the night or year. A young girl next to us said "He is incredible tonight" as if she had seen him at other dates or last year so I suppose it's like what stage actors say: no show is the same. Still, I've seen recordings from some other shows from this year and they all sound and look pretty consistent. I have a feeling he was particularly energised during this tour with the novelties of being able to sing along with John's isolated vocals from the rooftop gig and this year getting to finally play Now and Then live. Cheers.
Brian won’t remember me but back in Oct. 2004 at Neil Young’s “ Bridge Concert “. I talked to Paul a long time during those two days. NOBODY knew who I was. Long story but someone at EMI in London heard a demo I had made copies of at EMI aka Abbey Road ,and that turned into something you couldn’t make up. The tune I recorded sounded very Beatlesque . I got an email. Go to artist entrance at Bridge Concert. I drove in , went through three security checks, my name was on the list of musicians. When I walked up the ramp to the backstage holding area, and walked right into Paul. We just started talking while possibly twenty people wanted to say high to him, get an autograph etc. I ran into Rusty ,and he sees me with a Gibson guitar case, and asks me if I was a rep for Gibson. We find a room, and I tried to talk him into a more jazzy chord structure for Till There Was You. He said I can’t change anything from the way the Beatles recorded it. He was a very nice guy. Then Paul goes onstage around midnight after Tony Bennet if I recall. Then Paul is closing his final tune “ Hey Jude “ and all the musicians were to go onstage with Paul to sing ghe refrain. So someone says to me ,get your ass out there . I do ,and wonder whose mic I’m going to be sharing. Brian sees me ,and waves me over to share his mic. Same thing happened day, and night. Point of all this. I too wondered while Paul would still want to work when he could enjoy early retirement. That was until the first night of being about fifteen to twenty away from him ,and singing onstage with him. It was raining out first night, and you could not see the audience , all the lights were on the people onstage with Paul. Then when the refrain began they put the lights on the crowd of people, and you see 20,000 people EACH NIGHT , and your adrenaline just takes over. It’s something you have to experience to understand . I felt twenty years old again. That was my EUREKA MOMENT ! That’s why he does it. Ps.,the second night Paul saw me speaking to Brian, and Abe from the other side of the room. He comes over ,and asks “ Hey guys what’s up “ Paul instigated the conversation not me. Next to my daughter being born that was the most live affirming moment in my life …
I love the band he has now (22 yrs) best concert I have ever seen was the Got Back tour in Knoxville. I’ve seen Paul several time and this time I wasn’t expecting it to be as insanely good as it was! So many years had passed. You can feel the comradery and you can hear it as well. When the earth was round sounds like a great song. Congratulations on being a fantastic musician and a good human being! Peace to you ❤
Paul McCartney is truly a great composer who has graced this world with all of his timeless masterpieces. Brian May has served well. People often say "that guitarist sure is good"
I saw Paul McCartney perform in Vancouver a few years ago and I’m guessing Brian Ray was with him at the time. It was a great show, a memorable show with lots of fabulous songs but for me, the highlight of the show was watching Paul perform the song, Helter Skelter. He really blasted it and rocked it. And I’m guessing, Brian Ray was there to help make it so memorable. Thanks Brian Ray !
Who else can say "I play bass for Paul McCartney". Thanks for mentioning John Lee Hooker. I was fortunate to see him in the 80s at a college concert. Paul is still contributing.
I was happy to hear John Lee Hooker's name come up. Talk about someone born to his craft! Longevity was a luxury we all indulged in with him and I'm sure you felt proud and privileged to catch Join Lee's act when you did. I'm happy to say I have the same birthday as Mr. Hooker, August 22nd. So celebrate him with me soon!.... just a little footnote about JLH..... Paul's book of life is an amazing, seemingly endless volume Beatles 4-ever ❤
We saw McCartney a few years ago in Hershey, PA. The crowd was so large that it took us forever to get to our seats. The concert had already started and we heard several great songs while standing in the parking lot. Paul played forever -- one great hit after another. Each one performed at full blast. He was having a ball. The crowd was having a ball. The concert went on for 3 hours after we got there. He even did side 2 of Abbey Road. It was fabulous. When we left the arena, I found myself saying, "But he didn't do this song, he didn't sing that song." His playlist is endless and it's all classic rock.
Nice interview with a nice man. Yes the interviewer does talk a lot, but it looks as if Brian knows him well enough not to mind, and he does talk sense. Loved the Jimmy Buffet story at about 10:00, worth it just for that.
Cool interview. Brian Ray is self-[ess and modest, but he's also a musical GIANT. PROOF? Try finding something (anything) on Ray outside of his concerts with Paul. Brian's fans love seeing the switch from 6-string to bass and back again.... simple pleasures.
I wish the interviewer knew what he was doing. Brian Ray is a class act and top shelf musician, I would have liked to have learned more about him. The interviewer is dithering on about classic rock, Taylor Swift, Jimmy Buffett, AI, and himself………….
Agreed. This interviewer is clueless… He needs to shut up and let Brian Ray talk. And his questions are not insightful, not meaningful, not deep… Guy needs to get a new job.
Great convo. Brian is such a sweet, bright, and talented guy. I interrupted this interview to take a listen to his new song "When the Earth was Round" and it didn't disappoint. Bravo, Brian!
The funniest thing is when The Beatles hit it big the world was run by older people. It wasn't about the young generation until that meeting of the baby boomers and The Beatles. Then it all became about young people, their tastes in music, clothing, hairstyles, market and sell to the young. The Beatles were laughed at and unaccepted as being TOO YOUNG and not very good. Then reaching their late 20s they were told you're too old, rock & roll is a young person's game! And I always thought, wtf, we have older jazz musicians, blues musicians, country musicians, why NOT rock musicians?! Rock and roll itself was too young. NOW thanks to Paul & Ringo and The Stones we have role models to keep doing what you love with gusto. Don't listen to the begrudgers, ever. YES indeed.
Wish McCartney would record a FULL ALBUM with his current band, all this time they've been together and they haven't done it yet. He's used them here and there, but a FULL ALBUM with JUST THEM not yet.
@@pandaman1968I don't think working and performing with the ABSOLUTE GREATEST ROCK STAR in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC is sad at all! In fact I'm sure it's MIND BLOWING, I just want them to record a FULL ALBUM.
Ken Dashow will never learn, even after all these years, to stop talking in excess, whether he's talking to a guest or playing music. I really believe it's an ego thing. Unfortunately, he'll never change.
It’s funny and ironic how the interviewer mentions how he hates people who post negative comments and the guest, Brian Ray agrees that he hates people who post negative comments and then you see many of the comments here are negative, mean comments. Why can’t people be nice and positive ?
The interviewer talks way too much. And please no politics, we were talking about Paul McCartney and we didn't need to hear about Obama at the very end eating dogs.
Trying to listen to Brian Ray and the host doesn’t shut up for one minute. He’s yakking and yakking and yakking and we’re not interested in what he has to say. We’re interested in what Brian Ray has to say. Learn how to host a podcast.
Bad interview . Stupid questions and didn’t let Brian talk at all. Nobody cares about your political opinion, just let Brian talk. Ask simple short questions and let the interviewee talk . Worst interview ever , the likes of which nobody has ever seen before .
Franki Valli as well. 90 yrs old. He might lip sync but who care's. Still a great show and music. Paul should lip sync to a point. His voice has gone. Sad to hear it so.
The interviewer behaves like a psychologist analyzing everything that Brian says why don’t you stop talking so much Just ask the questions and let him talk
Not gonna be popular, but I think Paul needs to stop his live shows now, or at the most, sing songs that he can still manage. Love Paul but give it a rest. If John & George were around they would be taking the piss out of their old band mate for croaking out his famous backlog of songs, essentially tainting them. And no more hey judes....how many times does he play this....
Paul seems to always live and continues to live HIS life his way and not based on the opinions or criticisms of others. BRAVO to that since no one else gets to the call the shots of a soul's desires but that soul! There would be much more happiness in the world if more people could and would do that.
Kind of shame when there are so many great musicians who play for the greats, but when it comes time do their own thing, they can't write a great pop tune and a hit. They just have the time and $$$ to record which is fun and all, but you'll never hear about any of their songs as they are all pretty much mediocre at best.
My advice to Paul as a huge fan, when your voice is shot and you can no longer cut it and you haven’t had a hit that you have written in many years it’s time to quit on top, don’t go down that path that I always did with the never ending Vegas shows. Leave that to Ringo.. He is not the genius that you are, he is not the singer. But he is a performer.. you hell ever are a genius. Give up your live shows, do what you can still do by writing, Write for other people to perform… or produce other acts that form to the same realm as you…..! don’t go the way of Elvis Presley… don’t do it for all us fans of yours…!
A “ ex Beatle” that over hyped over rated band stop existing in 1970. Why is it if the former members are referred to as a Beatle when they no longer in the band? Why then not call a former member of another band like Journey “ worked with a Journey drummer” blah blah blah. The Beatles sucked!!!!
I'm a maze Tallman and young people still don't know the catalog and the portfolio of what the Beatles and Paul McCartney has done but it's kind of fun I'll go over to their house on a weekend maybe breakfast with the Beatles will be on with Chris Carter and they'll be gone they did this they did that oh my god you're kidding yes no one will touch the Beatles and that's the truth not for maybe never maybe never that might be kind of sad I'm sure John Paul George and Ringo would be feel bad for the world if nobody could ever top them them t h e m so with the Beatles called the 221 songs and he's roughly $700 songs by Outside The Beatles I am praying and hoping it sounds silly that one day he hits over a thousand songs but then again they got to be up to standards that he has he has he has good high standards
Wish we could have heard more from Brian!
the questions were twice as long as the answers.
Somebody loves the sound of his own voice........

I have a feeling he was particularly energised during this tour with the novelties of being able to sing along with John's isolated vocals from the rooftop gig and this year getting to finally play Now and Then live.

The interviewer speaks too much - hardly lets Brian Ray say much at all.
So true !! Why having guests and make monologues ? It's disrespectful...
I agree. The “interviewer” is a bore!
Brian Ray is so patient with this tedious opinionated bloke, you wouldn't want to be stuck next to on a train with.
Thanks for the Interview

Good Idea 💡 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Sir Paul and the fellas with my eldest Sister back in 2005 in Denver, Colorado on the (US Tour) WERE did the Time Go…?
Great guitarist!
Well said ,being a song writer myself it is magic when u can form and idea record it then listen back it’s the greatest drug there is
Great idea. Ian Hunter wrote and released a great song called When The World Was Round. I think it was 2007.
Brain I’m Gad Your Doing Well👍. I Still Miss Jim Squire😞 Like It Was Yesterday
I bailed at 3:25 because the interviewer did all the talking - typical

After the FOURTH time I heard this interviewer refer to Paul McCartney as "Your Boss", I had to turn it off. Disrespectful towards Brian Ray.
???????
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse .Paul McCartney is his boss… You clueless.

553 into the interview and it is your 1st question asked basically you love to hear yourself talk arrrggggg
I would never ask Paul any Beatles questions, l would ask ask him financial questions maybe he won’t like it.
Your boss?
Take a page from Rick Beato's playbook...let the guest speak. It's not about you.
That interviewer did my head in….terrible…..ruined what could have been a great and interesting video.
Probably received gifts when he was a bubba too........ strange start
How demeaning to be a 69 year old man sitting and gushing over "your Boss"!
Admiration is demeaning to you?
god ! you re talking all the time, and Brian didn't say anything
Franki Valli as well. 90 yrs old. He might lip sync but who care's. Still a great show and music. Paul should lip sync to a point. His voice has gone. Sad to hear it so.
I love that purple wall color.
"Why stop?" I don't know, maybe because you've lost your voice?
I’m a big Beatles fan and a Paul McCartney fan but everyone is now talking about Taylor Swift surpassing his success.
