The interview is timestamped as October 22, 1987, but it is likely 1986.

Those Joe Smith interviews with great musicians are a priceless resource.

[@George-l7r]

I very much enjoyed this interview. Very relaxed and informative.

[@philomenabarry]

This takes me down memory lane! Thanks for sharing.

[@jerrypotente872]

Great honest interview, thank you, sir Paul wonderful!!

[@arsen5479]

Marvelous interview!

[@marcappleton2730]

Wonderful stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@zaziou711]

Wonderful interview Thanks!

[@kincaide67]

Also ... I'm gonna say this was Oct 1986 because Paul had just released "Press To Play" in Aug of that year. Not much happening in Oct 1987 for him to be out on the interview circuit.

[@andydixon2980]

Sounds like this was recorded in 1986. The interviewer gives says ' next year is the 20th anniversary of Sgt pepper'.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

This is probably the best McCartney interview I’ve heard.
Where was it done?

[@Alex-lc9vq]

Amazing interview

[@spaceengineer1452]

George WAS innovative.

[@buttercup1765]

Funny he references the motorcycle cops in Miami and taking pictures... That photo is in the exhibition

[@FiveLiver]

9:14 Cliff Richard (who was a year older than Hank Marvin) was actually younger than John Lennon and Ringo Starr, he just seems older because Cliff and the Shadows had been having hits since 1958 and were the group to emulate (that's where the suits came from).

[@Sgobol]

Grazie

[@kincaide67]

Sounds a bit like the pitch or speed has been adjusted a bit here.

[@globalmonkey007]

Please change the title of this video. This interview is from 1986, not 1987.

[@billgauthier9765]

Was this before Elvis Costello - not mentioned

[@johnvastola7748]

Their collaboration was in 1989-90

Masterful subterfuge by Billy Shears(I kid, I kid)

[@gemini802]

That was Ringos alias on the Sergent Peppers album 👌

[@spaceengineer1452]

Delusional Troll.

[@voidio739]

They want you to think it's Ringo but it's Paul

[@gaylealleluia8392]

I can’t stand when Billy takes credit for songs Paul did. Also he’s giving HIS made-up opinions of the early days. He was not there. Wake up, folks. The truth has been revealed

[@spaceengineer1452]

You are delusional. Wake up.

[@voidio739]

I know, right! Sadly the people are so lost to their religionof Beatle-ism they won't even consider any other pidsibilities. People who are not open-minded to hearing both sides of a debate will never have their minds opened.

[@keithneal4410]

Sorry, That's not Paul's voice. That's not even Billy's voice. All four members of the Beatles had at least three other doubles for appearances, photo opps and interviews. This mans voice is older than Paul.

[@Historic.Interviews]

Thanks for the comment. This is Paul's voice, and one can compare it with the 1987 interview with him and Linda McCartney on Wogan (both are the same), which is also on TH-cam.

[@SpaceCattttt]

Paul was 45 here. Voices change...

[@addygaut]

The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud 🌍

[@vittoriosommese]

cringe

[@Nooooooooooooooooo]

Just put the fries in the bag lil bro

14:18 Mark Lewisohn contends that the phrase 'A hard day's night', was originated by John in his book 'In his own write'.

Billy Shepherd updating their mythology as per usual
