One more for you G,one night we were playing in a little club in Northern Ontario in Canada that was so far north we actually saw the Northern Lights there,anyways a lady approached me,half snapped and told me she was Kiss's manager,well I usually go along with liars so I said that's pretty cool and she said yea it is and we talked for awhile and then it was time to go play,now the next morning we were all talking about her and I found out she put all her drinks that night on our soundman's tab!,LOL,well of course our soundman Sean was not to pleased,poor Sean! Bob

By the way G,something I don't believe I mentioned to you before is that my manager back in the 70's played in a band from the 60's called the Paupers and they were managed by Bob Dylan's manager Albert Grossman,anyways my manager dated Linda McCartney when she was still Linda Eastman and he actually sent Paul and Linda a tape of the band I was in,she replied back that they couldn't help us because Paul at the time was between labels,I doubt they ever heard us but at least Linda reponded,our manager Chuck was a good guy. Bob

He was also the channel swimmer in their second film "Help!" in the snowy Alps scene and the end Bahamas scene!

What I love about Paul is it’s always been about the music for him. He comes back later to fill in the words

You missed "Klaatu", a band that people thought *were* the Beatles gotten back together to record under a pseudonym. Listen to their first two albums. ~

These are well known to major Beatles fans like myself, but still fascinating.

What's the title of the John & Paul play about Jesus?

My fun fact: that's George Harrison playing guitar on Cheech & Chong's "Basketball Jones".

I've also heard "Rain" is one of the earliest uses of backwards tracks in a pop song, the earlier example being "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha." And man, I really want to see that Joe Orton screenplay Up Against It, made into a Beatles movie, although there is that radio play version of it.

'Peter Brown called to say...' from "The Ballad of John and Yoko".

Was curiousa about the Rickenbacker guitar George bought while visiting his sister Louise in Illinois. I don't recall that story. The one I do know about was months later, when The Beatles made their first visit to the U.S. George was sick for a couple of days during that visit, but a representative from the RIckenbacker company stopped by with a few guitars to show John, since John was playing Rickenbacker guitars at the time. When John saw the guitars the rep. had brought over, John passed on them, but told lthe rep. George might be interested in them. It turned out that George was interested in the 12-string RIckenbacker that was brought over, so he took the 12-string from the rep.

Hi G, I only knew about Geoge playing Sitar and Paul playing as Paul Ramone w/ Steve Miller. I kind of remember hearing about David Bowie but couldn't come up with any details. I'd love to hear you do another. And now a little personal trivia; I saw Steve Miller Band in concert at the Starlake Amphitheatre in Burgettstown, PA. Maybe I won't tell the story here, it was not a pleasant evening! Of course I loved the video, lookin' forward to the next one! ☮

The Raspberries - Go All The Way. In the 90s when I would hear it on oldies radio. I thought it was Paul, especially the last 50 seconds.

Also to me, another addition to your list would be Ali Thomson and his minor hit Take Alittle Rhythm - which has strong mid 70’s Macca vibes. Think Listen to What the Man Said… And SubRosa Subway by Klaatu is often mistaken as the Beatles with Paul on lead.

Joey Curatolo is from the Beatles tribute band Rain. He plays the role of… Paul McCartney in the show.

Nice video. Very informative and well done.

I believe, the 1965 guy was one of the Paul's body doubles who then work for Billy in 1982 to sing on the stage.

Please also check if the 1982 video is edited to make the face looked resemblances.

This man has almost too much talent...

Sometimes Paul can really sound like XTC especially his solo stuff, and now Mac Demarco samples his stuff in his first album and I’m sure more

Be there my love by famous groupies is literally just Paul McCartney himself

“”Always Something There to Remind Me” by Naked Eyes

Billy Joel - You Can Make Me Free, is heavily inspired by McCartney. The 5:50 extended version sounds even more like him. Early Billy Joel is mostly inspired by McCartney 1. Extended version: th-cam.com/video/9epDOOPzHpQ/w-d-xo.html

Freight - keeping the dream alive could easily have been a McCartney song

January by Pilot sounds just like him!

Emitt Rhodes song “Medley: Bubblegum The Blues/I’m A Cruiser” could convince anyone it’s a McCartney song

Listen to "I'd like That" by XTC, it got some mccartney vibes imo.

Lol. Jigsaw. No. The only ones that ever gave me slight pause were Alone Again Naturally (that took a couple of good listens) and Fresh As A Daisy (naw, close, but that's not the voice).

I'm sorry but Sky High to me doesn't sound anything like real McCartney nor does Keane or Pilot. You seem like a young person and probably haven't grown up with Paul's voice. I just did a cover of Paul's Friends To Go and so people think that I sound like Paul, but I know better. I copy his inflections but Paul's voice is distinct. I notice that some people also mix up Paul's voice with John, although to me they are day and night different. A very nice show but we can agree to disagree and still a big like from me.

He didn't say publicly but at that time is when he was losing his hearing

Eric Carmen of The Raspberries , Liverpool Express , etc ...

I've thought that Squeeze, XTC and Queen (sometimes Brian May's singing, and also some of Queens more pop melodic songs) have some McCartney-esque sounds in voice and songwriting. The singing of Ray Davies of the Kinks and Roger Daltry of the Who can in some ways sound to have some similarity to McCartney to my ears at times, not all the time but sometimes.

At least he is mentioned in a song!

You missed 'Last Christmas' by The Rubber Band.

Two songs to mention: 10CC's Things We Do For Love was all over the radio at one time. A dead on Paul McCartney knock off. This second one is more obscure but is an absolutely ambitious Paul McCartney knock off down to the last detail. This is Paul McCartney in his most grandiose style done by Klaatu. The song is is Sub Rosa Subway. Check it out. Paul McCartney has an album called Red Rose Speedway. Maybe they were referencing this album? Klaatu's first album gained Gold Record Status in sales mostly because of the Rumor that the band was really the Beatles in disguise. This album contains Sub Rosa Subway.

I always thought "Pulling Muscles From a Shell" could easily fit this this category too. Great vid!

Hi G, I would never disagree with you on anything Beatlesque. The clips are too short for for my brain to register. Grateful Dead I might.... Just got to the part RE Copyrights. Speaking of copyrights and the Grateful Dead, did you know they allowed people to bring recording equipment to their Concerts? They even had special sections where you had to sit to record. I will go listen to the extended versions, the I'll come back and say: WOW you are Right! 😁☮

Thank you.

Mal was murdered by the police.

Murdered by cia black ops. It was an orchestrated hit job long planned. John was shot six times in the back so he couldn’t survive

Murdered by the police 😮

Where’s this guy been..mars?

they started in the 50s john paul and george were a band in the late 50s Ringo jin in 62 a yea4 before there first album came out

they broke up in 69 that was when John wanted a divorce paul a year later finally announced that broke up to news papers that made it public

You did a great job on this! Thanks for putting it together and posting it.

😁💗😁💗 I think Paul did some of his best music in the early seventies.

4 packs a day until his final week. Not to ridicule the man; it's just when I smoked a pack a day, I was wired all day. DT smoking 4X that amount; he was probably like the Tasmanian Devil which is how he managed to balance multiple acts at the same time.

He was a key individual in the transitional period when Brian Epstein died. He, along with Neil Aspinall, were very important in running Apple before Klein got involved.

Who was Peter Brown? Judas in the Beatles story thanks to his collaboration with a sleazy writer Steven Gaines in the tell-all book The Love You Make (aka The Muck You Rake). I heard an interview with Gaines that wasn't that old and he STILL hadn't gotten over Linda having hairy armpits and unshaven legs in the 1970s!. Sexist misogynist dinasaur much!
