    Paul's memory had faded a little in 2009 when this show aired. The Beatles' first appearance on the Sullivan show was in 1964. That night 73 million people watched, as he said. However, he did not play "Yesterday" that night. They played Sullivan three times in 1964. "Yesterday" was released in 1965. Still, an interview with a Beatle is an "event".

I say "new" because I believe he was in another band in the '60s. The high point was near the start of the concert, when my wife leaned out and screamed "Paaaaaaaul!!" "His Sir-ness" looked up and saw us waving down -so he waved back and gave us his trademark thumbs up. Saw a video of the show recently - and there it is!

    I seen Paul in minneapolis, I was in awe
    Man , just surreal, time stood still
    Growing up listening to all the hits
    And later in life actually seeing him perform I was walkin on air,
    There are no words to describe it
    Legend ,,

    Paul honored Dave Letterman, by performing with his band atop the studio marquee to a crowd of tens of thousands in the street. One of Macca's hottest performances! In the 1970s I owned an original 1964 Hofner Violin Bass like Paul's. Recorded lots of songs with that incredibe guitar as a session bassist & singer at Warner Brothers Studios! Knowing our producer, Dan Wallin, recorded sessions with George Harrison made our sessions extra special. We musicians were all HUGE Beatles fans.

      At the time, Warner Brothers was producing the film, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton. During the many breaks in recording, while studio technicians serviced the high-precision tape recorders, we'd cruise Warner Brothers' "Back Lot", watching movies being made. It was a musician's dream! I did a little "soft shoe" on the same "New York Street" stoop Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland danced on 30 years earlier. It was a musician's dream!
