Paul really loved what he is doing....he loved playing in concerts but he also does not mind playing in small ones. He simply loves music and he seemed to be the driving force anong the Beatles ..wonderful human being.
Another gift from someone's personal archives. Praise God for the people who preserve these treasures - and TH-cam, for providing the platform to bring them all together.
I think it was that kind of thing that was missing from the movie. Some improvisation and different interpretation. Plus, to be honest, for a movie, not every song should have been full-length. Great for us Macca fans, but not the general populace.
So it appears I have been stood up on a first date on valentines day after making a huge (and amazing) dinner... I'm not gonna lie, it hurts. Although this is a huge bummer and I should be hating life, I'm not. I have a cat on my lap, which I love, and I found this. This movie reminds me of my childhood and my father who passed when I was young. I am so happy I found this, it really turned my night around... Thank you!
Wow! Not nice! But definitely agree with you, Paul is the best escapism for life - ever!!!! He and his mates certainly did it for my generation in the '60s. Just wish there were 1000's of Paul types out there, for us females who deserve not much less in our lives
Of all the videos I have seen of Paul McCartney, I can’t even count, I have never seen Or heard him do a solo on his bass guitar. This is the first so thank you
The sad eyes Paul has after he says he would like to write with John Lennon again "but he's not here" coupled with the guitar note playing underneath is just such an emotional combination. Like just an overall sad moment thinking about his best friend
George Martin-- what a brilliant, interesting, creative person. He was the perfect person in the right place at the right time for the Beatles. Imagine if ALL artists could enjoy that kind of simpatico meeting-of-minds.
Paul casually singing For No One, just by himself acoustically, not having ever performed it since the recording, proves how talented he just is, because this version is just as iconic as the recorded one from decades before.
This was such an interesting and well done doc. I have more admiration for Paul after watching. Some great clips of him singing as well, in which his voice was just as good as when originally sung.
McCartney also speaks highly of George Martin and has even said he was like a second father. George Martin was an amazing producer. He taught Paul, The Beatles and so many other musicians how to make their music better and always added great ideas to simple songs which turned them into masterpieces.
When Paul started playing 'For No One' I just had to grab my Epiphone acoustic (wish it was the 64' Texan like Paul's) and learn it up. Five minutes and seven chords later, voila, that's definitely going in the mellow part of my bands set-list. Luckily our keyboard player sings like a young Paul so this should sound really awesome. Thanks Paul, you are such an awesome all around great musician. You've probably forgotten more musical knowledge than I'll ever be able to learn. Am I jealous? No! Envious? Hell yes! George Martin too, what a genius and a nice man.
"Pop music - a 3 minute folk song" - a neat definition, from Paul. That definition adds value to the whole modern music era for me. Especially as l felt my love for it in the early years was like a guilty pleasure
Martin was an indredible producer with his classical training, a fairly deep technical background as well. Paul's reference to his video with the suggestions he made about cellos was quite interesting when Martin told him that the upper range was too much for the instrument.
Later Paul knows by now that For no one was much better song than any 84 tunes but its ok he never got stuck no matter what. Thank you Paul for been here now.
It would nice if the movie was remastered for Blu ray DVD with bonus features such as unseen scenes or music not in the original film.Also an expanded version of the soundtrack album by Giles Martin would be good.Also it would be a treat to see it on British TV.
Great!Thx for posting..Glad that there is a vid with this film-rehearsals!The video-title should be somehow related to the film "Give my regards to Broadstreet"(rehearsals,making of or similar) 20:50 ff. John Paul Jones in the back .Hearing his bass-track :-)
I went to see Broadstreet the week it opened in 1984 and the theater was 90% EMPTY. I'm not quite sure why people didn;t appreciate the mans music back then as thyey do today
I saw it by myself opening week in an completely empty theatre. I was in grade school and obsessed with the Beatles (and solo 80s Paul) and I remember being mocked for it .. it wasn’t until a few years later until the Beatles became cool again (and have remained ever since).
Maybe it was too close to John's death? :( Have read that there was a lot of talk about John being the only talent in the band and particularly there was an anti-McCartney campaign going on...
@@PenguinBooks365 I still don;t knoq but thew Press/media gave it only 1 star so that might have turned offf average movie -goers. The only thing I can say is-PENN AND TGELLER sat in the row behind me to see the movie. Guess the are true fans lol
@@Piggy-Oink-Oink Oh wow! What an anecdote haha thank you for sharing! I avoided watching the film for years. Only saw mins here and there during the course of my life. Until this year... because of the pandemic I decided to check it out. I had the lowest expectations so in the end it suprised me. In a good way. Watched it about 5 times during the lockdown days xD
Just as Magical Mystery Your as a film is not great, some of the sequences are incredible. Same with Broadstreet; it was awful as a "film", but as a series of videos, musical performances...it's quite good. The "Yesterday/Here, There and Everywhere/Wanderlust" medley is just beautiful. I like that version of "Wanderlust" in Broadstreet better than the Tug Of War version.
Then again Sir Paul likes to experiment with different results over the years.The solo career has been a bit of a hotch potch at times.There have also been moments of genius.I would like to see a comprehensive and definitive compilation of his best 80s material in a musical and visual form obviously including Broad Street.
At First it sounds like Paul's been playing Super Mario Bros. when he starts working on the arrangement with George. However Super Mario Bros. came out a year after this special. Particularly the I Underground BGM.
As a movie a bit of editing and a better storyline might have made it a classic.The music is the best thing about the film with some nice scenes with Ringo and George Martin.
Some of the dubs of Broad Street movie are like a semi-tone higher than the record and officially released film. I've seen TV versions like that and the clips here in the show are the same. Macca sounds chipmunky on several songs...weird. I wouldn't think it was intentional.
Yes Eleanor Rigby was in F minor instead of E minor, maybe it's where the videotape speed has been changed where copies are made on different machines.
One of the few things that do annoy me about Paul is how he buries a lot of feelings, like when he’s talking about John he just says “what can you do?”.
The concept of this movie was spot-on, but it was, unfortunately, a cheesy flop. But man-oh-man, as bad as the movie was, the music and related music scenes were a joy. David Gilmore's guitar solo on No More Lonely Nights is totally kick-ass!
in retrospect, the correct solution to the problem of the eleanor rigby dream sequence being 8 minutes longer than expected would probably have been to cut 8 minutes out of the film rather than write 8 extra minutes of orchestral meanderings...
@@aidanhickey9845 In my opinion, yes. The Edge also was/is a major influence in contemporary Christian rock - dotted eighth delay, ambient, soundscapes, etc. In my opinion, he and Andy Summers of the Police influenced many with their use of emerging effects.
Thank god thay have stopped dear animals going on long journeys across the channel to be killed,so it stopped for good yesterday, i hope Paul reads my comment xxxx
First Chance that incidental music? not quite correct. He composed the music for the film in the family way 1966. You can tell from this interview that George Martin really was a good sounding board for the Beatles
Truth of the matter is George Martin did 95% of the "Family Way" scoring. He had to hound Paul for snippets of original material which he then expanded and built on.
I think I might be the only one who found us a little bit depressing. The banality of the songwriting process, and the film making. Are used to be a tape op at Air Studios btw.

I love the father /son relationship that Paul and George Martin had. :)
Me Too. Martin was the true 5th Beatle
Paul really loved what he is doing....he loved playing in concerts but he also does not mind playing in small ones. He simply loves music and he seemed to be the driving force anong the Beatles ..wonderful human being.
That's because he's a kind, gentle and caring person! We, as fans, are his career! That's one of many reasons why I love him Soo very much!! ❤❤❤❤💋💋💋
I remember first hearing "No more lonely nights" on the radio. i was amazed, what a great song.
I like the balled version the best. It's always been such a great McCartney track.
Another gift from someone's personal archives. Praise God for the people who preserve these treasures - and TH-cam, for providing the platform to bring them all together.
24:41 I love how he slips in that slight hint of horn sound before he starts the line "Your day breaks". He's just feeling it all. What a musician!

That sucks. I hope you found love.
No More Lonely Nights, eh?
“ No more lonely nights” is such a great song , awful that it’s never ever mentioned or played on the radio .
I agree:):)
Adored it since day one. It gets some radioplay where I live.
Possibly my favourite solo McCartney song
Such a level headed man. Paul handled success and the difficulty of defeat so so well. A great man.
Is there a harder working more productive pure artist than Sir Paul? What an amazing human being.
Liam Gallagher
@@ChubbyChecker182 lool
Mick Jagger, does all this AND manages to keep supremely fit.
So cool! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing Paul and George work. Professional, natural, easy. Paul just loves creating. He is my hero.
2 of the magnificent gentlemen of our world.
He Is Just The Biggest Genius Musically The World Has Ever Seen And Heard !
Of all the videos I have seen of Paul McCartney, I can’t even count, I have never seen Or heard him do a solo on his bass guitar. This is the first so thank you
The most elusive? Hardly. He is the most available and forthcoming. You get what you see. A world treasure of a man.
Fascinating chap, is Paul.
He always looks like he wants approval for everything. You have nothing to prove Paul. Greatest musician of all time
Mr McCartney is a great conversationalist. He seems to always go out of his way to have a great chat!!!
I loved Broad Street...the idea was great...the dancing scenes...Eleanor Rigby...of course the music and the twist at the end....superb!
The sad eyes Paul has after he says he would like to write with John Lennon again "but he's not here" coupled with the guitar note playing underneath is just such an emotional combination. Like just an overall sad moment thinking about his best friend
Loved watching Paul and George Martin work together 🙌
So special hearing Paul talk about him and John - and George talking about his understanding of Paul. Very intimate and moving.
George Martin-- what a brilliant, interesting, creative person. He was the perfect person in the right place at the right time for the Beatles. Imagine if ALL artists could enjoy that kind of simpatico meeting-of-minds.
Shoot First Exactly! It's like all the planets in the universe were aligned when they all got together.
George Martin goes back to the Bizarre Goons show . An incredibly talented producers & picker of talent.
Have never seen this before. Really cool video even now, or rather especially now in 2020, ...36 years after (omg). Gonna watch it again )
Paul casually singing For No One, just by himself acoustically, not having ever performed it since the recording, proves how talented he just is, because this version is just as iconic as the recorded one from decades before.
Good night nurse,he is SO handsome!

For No One starts at 22:54.
Grande Paul...genio musicale vivente
George Martin was nearly 60 here! The man aged like bloody wine
Ringo and Paul together are so funny! 😂😂
Boy that opening sequence was trippy
Never saw this interview before, thanks for it.

...wish it was longer, though!
Super beauty tv documentary The South Bank...!!! 👍👍👍👍
Here in 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽México City I saw in 1993 by Chanel 22 (Mexican Televition)...
Remember seeing this back whe it was first shown, had it on VHS for years and years but all lost in the mists of time! Great post!!
This is what the Bravo channel used to look like.
Good God, he is gorgeous
Agree with his view on the early "simple" songs. My favourites too, Ask Me Why, Tell Me Why, I'll Get You, It Won't Be Long, etc.. great work.
Thanks, remember seeing that on TV back in the day but never on YT in full !
He gets choked up when he’s asked about John near the end. 😢

Very human worries and unknowns he overcame
Wow - his doing "For No One" - magic! 23:15
South Bank show had a Killer theme tune
The Best part of this starts at 23:18 ,,,The horns were perfect Sir Paul!!
What a genius
we need a bass solo from Paul,and a drum solo from Ringo !

Te amo TANTO Paulina.
I liked the film. Not exactly Citizen Kane, but so what? Sir Paul was at the time (and still is) the man.
muy buenooooooooooooooo
The soundtrack album is better than the movie although at least Sir Paul did by himself.
As a movie a bit of editing and a better storyline might have made it a classic.The music is the best thing about the film with some nice scenes with Ringo and George Martin.
I watch at Broad Street as just a long music video
Paul only looks about 25 here with the curtains haircut
That's the remnants of Paul's Pipes of Peace video haircut we see at the very beginning of the programme I think
Some of the dubs of Broad Street movie are like a semi-tone higher than the record and officially released film. I've seen TV versions like that and the clips here in the show are the same. Macca sounds chipmunky on several songs...weird. I wouldn't think it was intentional.

One of the few things that do annoy me about Paul is how he buries a lot of feelings, like when he’s talking about John he just says “what can you do?”.
Would it be fair to say the South Bank Show theme tune is a superb piece of music?
Bach…Mozart… Beethoven… Tchaikovsky… McCartney!

What's the name of the song in 08:00 of the video? Is it on the soundtrack?
COULD STILL CALL IT BEATLES STUFF!
Good to see this again - Terrible movie, great soundtrack, though I can never get over THAT hairstyle!! :o
I thought it was one of his best post Beatles
The Edge/U2 is all in his playing in that first clip - a major influence by 1984
What? Delay?
@@aidanhickey9845 In my opinion, yes. The Edge also was/is a major influence in contemporary Christian rock - dotted eighth delay, ambient, soundscapes, etc. In my opinion, he and Andy Summers of the Police influenced many with their use of emerging effects.
Does anybody know what the tune is called that is playing at 8:05 please?
If you feel a little glum, to Hergest Ridge you should come.
I just found out, that George Martin had perfect pitch? Had never heard that before. Think Paul has it?
The Walrus was Ringo
Can’t wait until 1993 when I see macca sport a bowl head
great version of for noone
What bass is he playing in the beginning of the video? Yamaha?
looks like BB series.
BB 2000 it’s a rare left handed one
Thank god thay have stopped dear animals going on long journeys across the channel to be killed,so it stopped for good yesterday, i hope Paul reads my comment xxxx
BASS AND DRUM SOLO
Thumbs down must be stones fans
Those chords he is pumping out at 1:50 sound a lot like DELBERT MCCLINTON - Shaky Ground..

Eric Veritas Blair music score credited to JPM Gm uncredited. Sorry :)
@@chrisnewman7281 It's okay, but GM still did 95% of the work. Adorable that you think being given credit means anything.
Of course George Martin did all the scoring since Paul can't write or read music.
Interesting www.beatlesbible.com/people/paul-mccartney/albums/the-family-way/
Is that Linda through the window at 5:49?
Probably Heather Mills. No, wait, it can't be. She isn't hopping.
No.. it was not her.

"7mins in let's have fun" to the film? "well it wasn't professional." Honest.
What year is this?
1984
@@sebastianerrazuriz359 ThankYou:)
I wonder why George Harrison wasn't in the movie
Tug of War was really good, but then he followed it up with Say Say Say and The Girl is Mine, two of his worst songs this side of Goodnight Tonight.
What?!?? Two of his biggest solo songs???
