i love how gracious Paul is - he's told the old Beatles stories hundreds if not thousands of times and yet he happily repeats them again and again without rancour. Bless this beautiful man.
Freshcookies 21 I know - he’s told the same stories every time he’s given an interview for 40 years. Wish he’d make an effort to share some different anecdotes
@@BoutYoungAnnaLee Oh he does, you can tell in the same interview with Stephen Colbert, Stephen asked Paul about him writing Yesterday in his sleep, a story which he has told hundreds of times. Paul even hesitates but then tells it again. It is not his fault that the same old questions are asked again and again.
@Biggus Dickus More like Bitter Biggus Dickus. If being a sell out means opposing bigotry, supporting gay friends and associates; not to oppose the establishment, but becsuse it was wrong then I guess that's what he is. Thank God. Sir Paul explored new music and other art, he enjoyed learning and growing and influenced generations to come. He wasn't stuck being an obstinate 13 year old. His concerts are full of women of all ages, not just 80 year olds. Instagram fan accounts are mostly run by young adults. It's been my experience that people who scream "sell out" are usually losers jealous of the success of others who made something of their lives.
What a life he's had. I remember when the Beatles broke up none of them even wanted to talk about being Beatles for years. Fortunately he's had the gift of time to be able to look back and appreciate it, which he obviously does now. It's sad that John never had the time and distance to be able to look back and admire their own work.
@@Kenneth_James I don't know - my dad was a Naval Officer for 22 years - retired from service at 41, and it was still his favorite thing to talk about when he was 79. Remember the Bruce Springsteen song "Glory Days"? Paul has had an amazing career, but the Beatles were the glory days. What is great about Paul is that he can revel in that, and still appreciate what came after and the here and now - as some can't.
@Biggus Dickus Maybe it is called "growing up". It is an interesting dynamic. Youth can inject valuable new ideas into a society (not all sensible) and then grow up and moderate their views somewhat. They already had more money and fame than they knew what to do with - getting an honor did not promote their careers. Bruce Springsteen accepted both the medal of freedom, and the Kennedy Center Honors - about the closest thing we have to a knighthood. Snoop Dogg is mainstream today. Times change - the cultures these people railed against in their youth have moved in the direction they wanted (to an extent). You want to hold people to your ideal of ideological purity - a standard you too will fail to meet, if you have not already. These people WERE counter-culture in their day, and they drove changes, and they deserve to be honored for it.
ya know i don't think he tires of talking about the beatles because it was one of the best times of his life and i think John did look back fondly i'd like to think of the beatles music. get this though if you look on here on the dick cavett interview from (1971) Dick made a comment about how everyone blames Yoko for the break up and i admit i did for years as well than when i saw the Anthology and learned more about them in (1995) when ABC showed it than i changed my tune and i don't think she broke them up. though i still can't stand the bitch. having said that in the interview John said that if they were still together you wouldn't have some really nice Music from George, Paul and i think he even said Ringo as well. and he's right as well than if you look online you learn that George The Following Night was on i wonder if he spoke to them all in one week? lol. okay i gotta admit Biggus Dickus is a funny as hell screen name
Grandpa McCartney is a lot more fun than middle-aged I-am-not-a-Beatle McCartney. He got so much more relaxed with age and the awareness that he has nothing to prove.
He's a real fun dude in all the interviews he does, but I wouldn't describe him as humble when he talks about how the Beatles were a combination of all the great American musicals of their time.
@@chipgaasche4933 then what is your excuse for not contacting him to show him how it is done? I mean since you know and all. Please refresh my memory. You wrote how many songs that made the charts? That many? I am truly impressed. But the way when is your 15th birthday? Have a nice evening, child.
Chris Farley got it right many years ago on SNL: Paul is a living legend. Decades later, that feels even more true now. I'm so grateful he's still around bringing us joy through new music, concerts, and interviews. The Beatles are my favorite band and Paul is one of the most talented musicians the world has ever seen. Plus, he still posseses all the charm he had back in the 60s!
Interesting point! I was in London on business years ago, and one of my prospective clients was bitching about having had to drive "all the way" to Derby for a meeting - about 100 miles. I made a longer drive almost every weekend to get to my boat on Lake Michigan. At least once a month I drove about 500 miles to our York, PA office! But I now own a 115 year old house, and to me that is very old - to him, I suspect it is "new housing" :-)

@@carab.8616 Never said George wasn't talented, John is just my personal favorite with regards to lyrics, vocal melodies and voice. Plus, George didn't really come into his own until the White Album. Yes, he had a few songs per album but during the first few years, Lennon-McCartney wrote Harrison's songs for him. It wasn't until Help that he started writing his own stuff and until While my Guitar Gently weeps that he really started getting the respect from the others. And of course, 'Something' was genius. Trust me, I give George his dues, I'm just a Lennon fan
@@danielbrown1724 Don't bother me was Georges first great song from the 2nd LP and one of the very best early Beatles songs. But I too am a John firster! But he and Paul were best together! The best ever after Bach and Mozart!
I have never heard of an incident where he was not kind in the 57 years in the spotlight. I knew a gal in the 1980’s who had broken through the security protection line in 1965 and managed to get to the limo and a security guy grabbed her by the hair. She said Paul chastised the guy for being too rough. He said “ easy guys - don’t hurt the girls” even then he was thinking about others instead of his own safety.
Tomorrow, I will be performing "All You Need Is Love" for a friend's wedding. This is the legacy of Beatles music, that in 2019 Millennials walk down the aisle to "love, love, love."
I get it. My brother has been learning the piano few a few years, but he can't sing - I can. So at his second wedding last spring to a woman named Mary, he asked me to sing Let it Be accompanied by him on the keyboard. Of course we are both boomers - not millenials - but all the young people there knew the song and got seriously into it - singing the choruses with us.
@@pdoylemi that's sounds amazing! I hope we can get the audience to sing. We're also playing "When I'm 64" and "From Me to You" later. I'm sad that my mom hated the Beatles, so I didn't discover them until I was 18 in college, when a guy I was interested in ran a Beatles fanclub website and introduced me to all the albums.
@@rhov-anion Kudos to you! As a little kid, I was introduced to the Beatles a couple of years before they broke up by an 18 year old cousin. Even as a 7 year old, when he played me the "Magical Mystery Tour" album - (Sgt. Pepper) I was hooked. I suspect you are like me - I love swing music and big bands, even though they were fading years before I was even born. But Glenn Miller, Les Brown, and the Andrews sisters were big for me once I discovered them - not to mention Sinatra, and to some extent, Elvis and Buddy Holly. To be honest, I used to be a bit embarrassed that I appreciated these people until I learned that the Beatles loved them too.
@@pdoylemi absolutely! I'm actually a trombonist and have played in big bands since I was 12. My dad grew up in Detroit, and when Dave Brubeck played, he brought a reel-to-reel and recorded it. I still have cassette tape off that reel and plan to digitalize it one day. My dad played "Take 5" for me when I was maybe 10, and although I didn't under the musical significance, I was utterly enthralled. Meanwhile, my grandfather boasted that he was the best Charleston dancer in Franklin, North Carolina, and I grew up to a lot of ragtime and swing, in addition to 80s and 90s music. So the old jazz feel in Beatles songs really was reminiscent.
@@rhov-anion Your dad grew up in Detroit? I am a Michigander! I went to MSU, and did a lot of business in and around Detroit! I live in Muskegon now - near the Lake Michigan shore. Funny, my niece plays something called a mellophone in the MSU Marching Band today! She tells me it is the marching band equivalent of the French horn. She is a huge fan of the music of the 1940s and ragtime!
NOT ME! Yeah I like solo Paul McCartney a lot the Beatles are my favorite band and all but McCartney is my favorite artist in my mind Rubber Soul, Revolver, RAM, and Band on the run are my absolute favorites of all time and they are on the same level of quality I think albums like Tug of War, Venus and Mars, Flaming Pie, Chaos and Creation, Electric Arguments, Red Rose Speedway, Flowers in the Dirt, New and Egypt station are better than some Beatles albums especially some of the early ones But that’s just like my opinion man
Wow, so impressed after the previous 3 parts. What a humble, and special, and amazing, humourous, creative musician/human being. This is the most memorable interview, I've seen of the hundreds over the last few years !
I think it's still being dyed, except it's being streaked with a bit of colour to give it more of a greyer 'salt and pepper' look. His hair is probably still a bit whiter than it appears here. But you're right, it looks way better and a lot more appropriate for his age.
Ok I'm a guy. I love the Beatles! When he went woo woo woo at 1:38 it just brought it all back in a flood of memory and emotion! What is it about him? He's GREAT!
I watched the whole Paul McCartney interview , without a doubt one of the most remarkable ever because of what he represents . Of course to fully appreciate this , you have to be a certain age like me because they became famous so many years ago but their music lives forever ! !
This really was a nice bonus conversation😊 very pleasant and I love the perfectly serious twinkling humor that exudes from Sir Paul's keen understanding of the depth and breadth of the overlapping layers of life's experiences, and the wry countenance which with he reveals selected underlying truths as though his wish and hopes to communicate . precisely particularly and only at any given moment the direction of focus with which the ideas he intends to share with everyone. The Granddude is the Man. You're pretty smart too Stephen! I know I'm a supercilious windbag but it warms the cockels of my heart anytime I've the opportunity to follow Macca's train of thought in an interview or a song, at a concert or playing along with Macca on my bass at home with my favorite McCartney CDs. Loved that bit where Stephen and Paul reminisce about their time in the library of the Obama White House talking about George Wahington's and Aethelred the Unready's swords and Paul's knighting by the Queen of the World! Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, eh? Rock on, live long and prosper! Peace out!
So the concert in DC referred to is just 2 days after I saw the Beatles at the afternoon show at Olympia Stadium in Detroit on 8/13/66 when I was two weeks shy of being 10 years old. The wall of screaming sound was nothing like I had ever heard or could ever imagine, but their amps were powerful enough that we could still hear the music. They were wearing silver suits. I thought I was in heaven and that remains a shimmering memory. I am now almost 67.
1:38 had me smiling and squealing so intensely by complete surprise and joy, I had to pause the video (after immediately re-playing it one more time) and step away from the computer because I felt so indescribably overwhelmed with giddy and euphoric emotions. It's so incredible and strangely surreal a sensation to witness him recreate something I've seen a thousand times of their 1964 guest appearance in this very theater that made the crowd go berserk... and all of a sudden: GET IT!!! And then hearing his surprise amusement to Colbert's reasoning for not turning your back on the Queen... The whole time, I perfectly hear my grandmother in his endearing reactions, and I just feel such a rich blend of happiness and a kind of bittersweet-ness but most of all utter adoration, that someone far away who doesn't even know I exist can make me feel such a deep well of emotions from his songs and words, from how I can see in him people with whom I've grown up and loved and lost; such a blessing that good humor and kindness is, I hope to grow into a person as lovely as them.
I remember when Paul was knighted (like over 20 years ago now-wow) seeing pictures of the fans outside of the palace and you had old grannies standing next to young girl's with nose rings. The man has timeless appeal!
A true ambassador of popular music! I saw them in their last tour in Toronto in 1966. Whenever you see thousands of people singing " Let it Be " as one with Paul, you understand the deep psychic connection music has to us all. George Harrison wisely said, " The Beatles will exist without us. " He was right. Their legend and music will continue forever.
I've listened to several McCartney or Ringo or Lennon interviews and they have forgotten more stories than most of us will ever know. Never boring, especially when they're let loose. I also recall a television show on daytime television in the 1970's in the US but made in England. "Space 1999". I thought they "got it wrong" when a house party featured people dancing to Beatles music. A show about the future with Beatles Music in it? ... 2019 now... Still happening.
Sir Paul is an absolutely wonderful person. I could listen to him talk forever. Thanks, Stephen, for having this living legend on your show......By the way, I think that Stephen is just as starstruck as all of us out here, but Stephen is luckier because Sir Paul is sitting in the same room as him on his couch.
My brother and I saw the Beatles in concert in 1965. As Colbert said, the screaming was so loud we hardly heard a note of the singing or the instruments. The exact same thing happened for the premier of "A Hard Day's Night" ... we hardly heard any of it. For a MOVIE! My brother was sitting next to a girl who was so excited, jumping up and down and swinging her arms around, I thought she was going to beat him to death.
So very talented and what a wonderful story teller! Sir Paul! We loved you in the sixties, and we love you still.(sounds like a good line for a song!) Can’t wait to read your book! Take care & God bless. Thanks for many wonderful memories and outstanding music!❤️👏🏻🎸🎵🎶🎸👏🏻🇺🇸🌏❤️
Just looking at him makes my day. Ive loved him all of my life beginning at age 4. Only wish that day when he came over to the line at Carnegie Hall I would have said something. I was in shock. You just have to love him. Every song is a masterpiece, and he and the Beatles lit up the world. Absolutely. Thank You Beatles.
Its true. July 6th Paul asked the girl with the sign in audience to do her Beatles scream. Then asked the girls then the guys. Very funny. BC Place Vancouver 2019. Best day of my life❤
I like to say 'Some of the best parts of the '60's happened in the 70's and 80's' as for music - in the 60's a mixing board was a box with 5 or 10 knobs on it, and mics were good but there were not very many of them. In the 70's we got big mixing desks, enough mics to mic the drums and amps, and monitor speakers, so both the audience and band could hear the music.
I was ten years old when I walked out onto a deck in Culver City, CA, and saw the Los Angeles Times laying their with the headline announcing the Beatles were breaking up. I was so stunned, I didn't realize the soles of my feet were bare on a hot rubber runner. Paul was my first love, and he doesn't even know it. But I bet he was the first love of every 10 year old girl in America at that time. He's still very cool.

I get it. My brother has been learning the piano few a few years, but he can't sing - I can. So at his second wedding last spring to a woman named Mary, he asked me to sing Let it Be accompanied by him on the keyboard. Of course we are both boomers - not millenials - but all the young people there knew the song and got seriously into it - singing the choruses with us.
@@pdoylemi that's sounds amazing! I hope we can get the audience to sing. We're also playing "When I'm 64" and "From Me to You" later. I'm sad that my mom hated the Beatles, so I didn't discover them until I was 18 in college, when a guy I was interested in ran a Beatles fanclub website and introduced me to all the albums.

Kudos to you! As a little kid, I was introduced to the Beatles a couple of years before they broke up by an 18 year old cousin. Even as a 7 year old, when he played me the "Magical Mystery Tour" album - (Sgt. Pepper) I was hooked. I suspect you are like me - I love swing music and big bands, even though they were fading years before I was even born. But Glenn Miller, Les Brown, and the Andrews sisters were big for me once I discovered them - not to mention Sinatra, and to some extent, Elvis and Buddy Holly. To be honest, I used to be a bit embarrassed that I appreciated these people until I learned that the Beatles loved them too.
@@pdoylemi absolutely! I'm actually a trombonist and have played in big bands since I was 12. My dad grew up in Detroit, and when Dave Brubeck played, he brought a reel-to-reel and recorded it. I still have cassette tape off that reel and plan to digitalize it one day. My dad played "Take 5" for me when I was maybe 10, and although I didn't under the musical significance, I was utterly enthralled. Meanwhile, my grandfather boasted that he was the best Charleston dancer in Franklin, North Carolina, and I grew up to a lot of ragtime and swing, in addition to 80s and 90s music. So the old jazz feel in Beatles songs really was reminiscent.

Your dad grew up in Detroit? I am a Michigander! I went to MSU, and did a lot of business in and around Detroit! I live in Muskegon now - near the Lake Michigan shore. Funny, my niece plays something called a mellophone in the MSU Marching Band today! She tells me it is the marching band equivalent of the French horn. She is a huge fan of the music of the 1940s and ragtime!
This man can never die and he needs to keep making new music cause Egypt Station and NEW are two of the best albums I’ve ever heard
NOT ME! Yeah I like solo Paul McCartney a lot the Beatles are my favorite band and all but McCartney is my favorite artist in my mind Rubber Soul, Revolver, RAM, and Band on the run are my absolute favorites of all time and they are on the same level of quality
I think albums like Tug of War, Venus and Mars, Flaming Pie, Chaos and Creation, Electric Arguments, Red Rose Speedway, Flowers in the Dirt, New and Egypt station are better than some Beatles albums especially some of the early ones
But that’s just like my opinion man
agreed. egypt was paul's best work since abbey road.
woah woah woah
New, Egypt Station, and Memory Half Full are great albums. Late career, McCartney is doing great stuff.
Another great one is the "Tug of War" album.
Wow, so impressed after the previous 3 parts. What a humble, and special, and amazing, humourous, creative musician/human being. This is
the most memorable interview, I've seen of the hundreds over the last few years !
On Being Knighted...Sir Paul says....'It's just like Harry Potter'. Tee Hee.
Only Paul's was for real
It’s nice that he’s not dying his hair anymore. Be old, Paul! It’s alright. We still love ya.
I think it's still being dyed, except it's being streaked with a bit of colour to give it more of a greyer 'salt and pepper' look. His hair is probably still a bit whiter than it appears here. But you're right, it looks way better and a lot more appropriate for his age.
Hey, but Ringo is dying and looks cool ;)
@@derka90 Ringo also looks 45.
@@derka90
Is this necrophilia? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 It is "dyeing". LOL
@@athenaminerva8954 Oh my God, I made an unforgivable mistake!!;P YES, IT'S NECROPHILIA LOOOOL.
When he said "Malcolm" rather than amalgam or amalgamation, that was totally a John Lennon thing. :)
“We knew we had to be different...and we were” God bless you Paul,yes you were. THE BEST,always and forever.
"Sir Paul" is a WILLIAM.
I love his recounting of what it is like to be Knighted, Super.
Ok I'm a guy. I love the Beatles! When he went woo woo woo at 1:38 it just brought it all back in a flood of memory and emotion! What is it about him? He's GREAT!
Finally, someone just interviews the guy with some intelligence and tamps down the understandable starstruckery. Nice job, Colbert.
He has had a spectacular life so far. What a humble, gracious man. ❤️ I'm smiling the whole time!
I watched the whole Paul McCartney interview , without a doubt one of the most remarkable ever because of what he represents . Of course to fully appreciate this , you have to be a certain age like me because they became famous so many years ago but their music lives forever ! !
Paul McCartney is the Sweetest Guy in the WORLD!♥️
You don't even know him, tif.
I agree
@@joannesousa3265 you don't know him either, joanne. By all means, be a fan..but don't be stupid.
This really was a nice bonus conversation😊 very pleasant and I love the perfectly serious twinkling humor that exudes from Sir Paul's keen understanding of the depth and breadth of the overlapping layers of life's experiences, and the wry countenance which with he reveals selected underlying truths as though his wish and hopes to communicate . precisely particularly and only at any given moment the direction of focus with which the ideas he intends to share with everyone. The Granddude is the Man. You're pretty smart too Stephen! I know I'm a supercilious windbag but it warms the cockels of my heart anytime I've the opportunity to follow Macca's train of thought in an interview or a song, at a concert or playing along with Macca on my bass at home with my favorite McCartney CDs. Loved that bit where Stephen and Paul reminisce about their time in the library of the Obama White House talking about George Wahington's and Aethelred the Unready's swords and Paul's knighting by the Queen of the World! Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, eh? Rock on, live long and prosper! Peace out!
Watching Paul McCartney interviewed is like a religious experience, praise the Beatles, Amen.
Cause she'll Stab you???? The brilliance of Stephen making Sir Paul swear lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 these 2 are just adorable!!!!!!!!!
It's possible. Her Majesty is immune from prosecution, so don't piss her off!
Trust me, he’s sworn before. He swears like a drunken sailor.
Colbert is a good host. He lets guest talk and he asks relevant questions.
My gf saw the Beatles in Seattle '64, I didn't see Paul until the first concert held in Seattle's KingDome in June of '76, tickets were $7.
I saw McCartney and Wings at Seattle's Kingdome in 1989 and Seattle’s Safeco Field in like 2014. Experienced I’ll never forget.
Paul McCartney is the most prominent figure in music of all time
Should have asked him 'if her majesty was a pretty nice girl but she didn't have a lot to say?'
he didn't have 'a belly full of wine'...
Hahahahah
Harry Picken hehe good one!
@@boobtuber06 Was he stoned like the day he got the MBE?
Mozart1220
Same queen correct?
This whole interview was an absolute delight to watch. I loved it!!!
4:21 Paul said three Beatles songs in a sentence
😂 😂 😂 that's great
Well. Cheating with Imagine but go on then.
Two Beatles song and one Beatle song!
"A Malcolm" - that's 100% Paul channeling John there, which is sad and beautiful at the same time.
When the girls are screaming all we need is John shouting "shut up while he's talking!"
So the concert in DC referred to is just 2 days after I saw the Beatles at the afternoon show at Olympia Stadium in Detroit on 8/13/66 when I was two weeks shy of being 10 years old. The wall of screaming sound was nothing like I had ever heard or could ever imagine, but their amps were powerful enough that we could still hear the music. They were wearing silver suits. I thought I was in heaven and that remains a shimmering memory. I am now almost 67.
This is the best Paul McCartney interview I’ve ever seen/heard.
Sir Paul still makes ladies scream and the eyes of old men tear up with joy ;)
Yeah "Sir Paul" makes people scream because people cannot see his another man.
Love him. Sweet guy. Boy...the stories he could tell!! How fun!! Hoping he writes a book...or two!! ❤
1:38 had me smiling and squealing so intensely by complete surprise and joy, I had to pause the video (after immediately re-playing it one more time) and step away from the computer because I felt so indescribably overwhelmed with giddy and euphoric emotions. It's so incredible and strangely surreal a sensation to witness him recreate something I've seen a thousand times of their 1964 guest appearance in this very theater that made the crowd go berserk... and all of a sudden: GET IT!!!
And then hearing his surprise amusement to Colbert's reasoning for not turning your back on the Queen... The whole time, I perfectly hear my grandmother in his endearing reactions, and I just feel such a rich blend of happiness and a kind of bittersweet-ness but most of all utter adoration, that someone far away who doesn't even know I exist can make me feel such a deep well of emotions from his songs and words, from how I can see in him people with whom I've grown up and loved and lost; such a blessing that good humor and kindness is, I hope to grow into a person as lovely as them.
That story was awesome. I was hanging on every word and wasn't disappointed.
Paul in awe of the queen
The rest of us in awe of Paul
He’s had the same queen since he was a young kid. That’s pretty amazing.
Well, she is a pretty nice girl, after all...
How weird am I for having a crush on a man who's 50 years older than me
Not weird at all...welcome to the club
I remember when Paul was knighted (like over 20 years ago now-wow) seeing pictures of the fans outside of the palace and you had old grannies standing next to young girl's with nose rings. The man has timeless appeal!
@@littlejoeshorse Amen to that
Me too😂😍
May be because, He has a one billion fortune, that could be a good reason...I´m kidding he is a lovely guy!
Paul said, "It's just like Harry Potter". My life is complete now
Let's Hear A Beatle Scream!....Right Now.
And Always.
OMG!! I cannot IMAGINE a world without him ... YESTERDAY a beautiful song ... THIS BOY is genuine awesomeness 🌹🎶🥂❣🌈
I will never get tired of listening to his stories even though i heard it like a million times :D
Paul is a great story teller' Every word is magic.....
I'm just imagining Queen Elizabeth having a sword fight with George Washington.
Great interview Stephen Colbert! I watch it over again when I need a smile or a mood lift! ❤
That’s gold JERRY ! Pure gold! Fantastic clips.
I missed this the first time around, so, finally..... a very excellent interview. Thanks, Stephen.
A true ambassador of popular music! I saw them in their last tour in Toronto in 1966. Whenever you see thousands of people singing " Let it Be " as one with Paul, you understand the deep psychic connection music has to us all. George Harrison wisely said, " The Beatles will exist without us. " He was right. Their legend and music will continue forever.
"A Beatle's scream", just happened here at home! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
My father was a big Beatles fan and I learned English through their songs! So happy to see Paul this Fine!
I love both of these men so much separately, together I am in bliss overload.
Awww, he's so sweet. Also got a similar humor to mine. :>
I just love Paul. He is so wonderful to listen to.
God I love this guy. I hope I can see him in concert some day soon 🤞
I've listened to several McCartney or Ringo or Lennon interviews and they have forgotten more stories than most of us will ever know. Never boring, especially when they're let loose.
I also recall a television show on daytime television in the 1970's in the US but made in England. "Space 1999". I thought they "got it wrong" when a house party featured people dancing to Beatles music.
A show about the future with Beatles Music in it? ... 2019 now... Still happening.
Love you, Paul! You'll always be my favorite Beetle!
beetle = insect, Paul = Beatle ;)
Sir Paul is an absolutely wonderful person. I could listen to him talk forever. Thanks, Stephen, for having this living legend on your show......By the way, I think that Stephen is just as starstruck as all of us out here, but Stephen is luckier because Sir Paul is sitting in the same room as him on his couch.
He's very creative even in his interviews.
Now That is a Bonus! 😁
My brother and I saw the Beatles in concert in 1965. As Colbert said, the screaming was so loud we hardly heard a note of the singing or the instruments. The exact same thing happened for the premier of "A Hard Day's Night" ... we hardly heard any of it. For a MOVIE! My brother was sitting next to a girl who was so excited, jumping up and down and swinging her arms around, I thought she was going to beat him to death.
I was there @ Shea Stadium '65 myself with my two older sisters....feels like it was just " yesterday"! 😉🤗
The Beatles stopped touring after Paul was replaced. I guess they thought that in a concert the fans would realize Paul had been replaced.
@@SusanGoldberg-l9p - Who's Paul? I thought it was Henry who was replaced.
Grew up listening to the Beatles. Forty years later I’m still growing listening to them.
Your voice vibrates at the same frequency as the LOVE in all our SOULS.LOVE YOU
I love Paul.❤️.
Love listening to him talking he’s the best
So very talented and what a wonderful story teller! Sir Paul! We loved you in the sixties, and we love you still.(sounds like a good line for a song!) Can’t wait to read your book! Take care & God bless. Thanks for many wonderful memories and outstanding music!❤️👏🏻🎸🎵🎶🎸👏🏻🇺🇸🌏❤️
Just looking at him makes my day. Ive loved him all of my life beginning at age 4. Only wish that day when he came over to the line at Carnegie Hall I would have said something. I was in shock. You just have to love him. Every song is a masterpiece, and he and the Beatles lit up the world. Absolutely. Thank You Beatles.
I just love him! 💕 Her Majesty 👑 the Queen...thanks Sir Paul for the sweet laughs⚔
Just 💖💖💖💖💖 Fab 4 (plus Stephen forever.
4:39 that moment on Paul’s face as it clicks that that could be the reason and the follow-up Of “shit...” gets me all the time.
Genius and a true legend.
Every convo with that man is a bonus.
"It's like Harry Potter." Thank you for making me laugh, Sir Paul.
Best interview EVER! Love Paul McCartney!
If you love Paul you should know this is NOT him.
In my opinion, one of the most amazing and talented people to ever live.
Love you Paul❤💖 You have brought so much joy to the world❣❣
I scream. You scream. We all scream for The Beatles!
Its true. July 6th Paul asked the girl with the sign in audience to do her Beatles scream. Then asked the girls then the guys. Very funny. BC Place Vancouver 2019. Best day of my life❤
I was there! Fantastic concert!
I like to say 'Some of the best parts of the '60's happened in the 70's and 80's'
as for music - in the 60's a mixing board was a box with 5 or 10 knobs on it, and mics were good but there were not very many of them.
In the 70's we got big mixing desks, enough mics to mic the drums and amps, and monitor speakers, so both the audience and band could hear the music.
I was ten years old when I walked out onto a deck in Culver City, CA, and saw the Los Angeles Times laying their with the headline announcing the Beatles were breaking up. I was so stunned, I didn't realize the soles of my feet were bare on a hot rubber runner. Paul was my first love, and he doesn't even know it. But I bet he was the first love of every 10 year old girl in America at that time. He's still very cool.
Not only Chaplin, Stan Laurel was also an Englishman who was huge in the states before the Beatles.
“Hey grandude“ is making John Lennon‘s eyes roll even today
U could listen to his stories all day
he is just a gift to this planet i love you paul
