What's your favorite Paul McCartney song?
Yesterday...here,there and everywhere.
I live in Germany, (for) no one will singing yesterday in ,,my chor,,
This is so sad😪
But in this evening I'm looking (though you)
Part 3...
In Germany..my daugther make it's for me..lg beatles Fan Ellen 🥰🙏
Otis Gibbs
My song is let it be
@@g2guns562 that's sooo good too.
In my life the beatles in my heart, since I'm a 9 years old girl.
Now I'm not 64..but 56. The First songs I' m hearing with my Cousin,from the with Album..💫have a good evening
Favorite is "Let It Be" - so calming. Whenever I get an "earworm" song stuck in my head I switch to "Hey Jude" - clears out the noise.
Thanks for all your great videos!
Treat her gently. It'll change in the next few hours, it always does
On the bus, Kevin really went upstairs and had a smoke, and when Paul spoke it was like he was in a dream!
Such a humble man. His stories are all incredible. Watching him throughout the movie brought it all home...
Kevin seems like such a pleasure to hang out and talk with.
So many stories...
Thank you, Otis 🙏
My gawd. Could watch these forever. Great job as always!
Let it Be.
I'm Carrying is up there with his best songs. Any song from Paul is amazing, but this one hits me hard.
The first time I heard that song I bawled. It’s gorgeous
Thank you so much for interviewing him and saving these stories for posterity. Nothing like hearing stories directly from the source! Cheers!
When I first heard "Junk" by Paul, I was swept-up in the sadness. Like everyone.
One late night many years ago a station in Buffalo, New York (WKBW) blasted far and wide their first playing of "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" which had just dropped. The DJ was so impressed he played it again, right away. (Jack Armstrong?)
Maybe not my favorite of Paul's, that's too hard to say, but it was a magical experience for me, an insomniac teenager way out on Eastern Long Island, awake and feeling all the teen hurts, heartaches, and little depressions. What a great coincidence I was up to hear this amazing suite by Paul. It lifted me Otis, it really pulled me up and out of it.
WKBW 1520 on your radio dial! Buffalo, NY
@@buffalobraves9 Jack Armstrong - Your Leeeeadah!"
Was it maybe Jack Armstrong who always called himself 'your LEEADER"?....if it was he worked at a station In Cleveland Ohio in the mid 60's called WIXY 1260
@@Tunz909 Those guys all got around. Would wear out their welcome at one station and head to the next.
Glad to hear him speak about Mal Evans. I always got the impression Mal was very key to the Beatles and it's sad how he died and then was essentially forgotten. Lots of fave McCartney tunes, with and after the Beatles. My faves from his early solo career are "Too Many People" "Another Day" "Junior's Farm" and "Listen to What the Man Said". Sorry Otis, I couldn't pick just 1 ;-)
I cannot stop thnkign about Mal's strange death and how no one talks about it
Mal was with Paul on his trip to San Fran, and was sitting next to Paul on the plane ride back to UK when he came up with the idea for Sgt Pepper
You're so right Zorn. You never hear much about Mal and yet he was the man! He did everything for the Beatles all the way through their career and got paid very little. It was so unfair and when they split up Mal was pretty well let loose. So sad the way he passed. It's such a shame he wasn't around to hear some of his stories through a book or even a book about Mal .
@@nickday3541 People close to the Beatles called Mal 'invaluable' and that he was a 'gentle giant'. I think that says it all.
@@charlespatrick8650 Mal was with Paul when he had his acid trip with John. He also took Paul home on the day John announced at a meeting he was quitting the Beatles, and Paul was crying hysterically.
Love your interviews, Otis! My favorite McCartney song is Blackbird; so beautiful. Sang it to my 3 kids as a lullaby when they were small.
I always liked “Dear Friend” off Wings Wildlife -Paul really put a lot of soul and sincerity into his vocal, and it’s a nice peace offering to John Lennon after they had been feuding publicly for awhile.
Loved this interview. I noticed Mal and Kevin in the Get Back sessions, faithfully and with no fanfare seeing to the band's every need...it was really nice to watch their interaction with the boys.
My favorite Paul McCartney song is Get On The Right Thing! #2 is Hi Hi Hi!
Maybe I'm Amazed !
My favorite Paul McCartney (right now and it changes)...Monkberry Moon Delight...randomly Got to Get You into my Life, For No One, Live and Let Die and Back in the USSR.. Great job on these videos.
The only time I'll let these many "You Knows" pass. Because Mr Kevin Harrington bloody well knows! Love you mate!
I met John and Yoko in front of Tiffinys in NYC. My dad pointed them out!!! Best moment of my life!!!!!!
So many songs to chose from. The big one that was way out of the box has to be "Live and Let Die'. A real departure from Paul's style. And the fact that Guns & Roses just exploded it shows it to have a multi-generational. appeal. Great one again Otis. Thank you.
It was truly a departure, but it makes sense since it was a James Bond theme (for Live and Let Die), and those themes are always so "Special"
His laugh is delightful!
Great! "Thanks, Mal!"
Good stuff man. The recent Beatles documentary left me thinking that Ringo is a damn good studio drummer with a lot of patience . My favorite Paul song is definitely I've Just Seen a Face . That to me is the perfect Beatles song. It exemplifies everything I love about the songwriting of McCartney . And the acoustic guitar playing is outstanding. Don't know who played on that number but it is perfect
They all play guitar on the track :)
Paul: acoustic classical/Spanish guitar
John: acoustic rhythm guitar
George: acoustic 12-string guitar
I really enjoy these vids, because I have the same love for rock and roll history as you, Otis. Keep up the great work! As for my favorite Macca song, I always loved the bass line on "Goodnight Tonight."
Im so glad Kevin was willing to speak to you. Hes seems like a great guy. Lets hear him tell A Lemmy story or two. ; )
Thanks for this Kevin Harrington interview Otis. A nice addition to all of the "Get Back" material out there... love his laugh and him calling it the 'Double' White Album... love it! Fave Paul song: "Another Day".... great bass line!
My favorite Paul McCartney song is whichever one I am hearing.
Nice work Otis! .....IM DOWN
paul looked like such a Rockstar during the abbey road era
He has the best laugh!
He has great hair and a great beard! And great stories!
Just a guy reminiscing about "it's just the way it was" priceless. just priceless.
Lovely Mal Evans story.
Howdy Otis Gibbs
You keep turning up like a bad penny lol
But any old storys of people in your industry
are awesome thanks so much ,
Fellow Hoosier Greg
P.S.Loyd the reindeer was cool
Kevin is right about "Long and Winding Road" Phil Sector mix....Check out the "Naked Version" remix.
Lovely. Nice guy
Great interview, indeed. So interesting...( I love Paul's song "With a Little Luck")👍
Of course there are too many fantastic Paul McCartney songs to choose, but I'll go with two that probably get less attention:
Beatles - Fixing a Hole
Solo - Another Day
Sometimes hard to make out what he's saying, but man, the roadies see it all. The Beatles never projected arrogance and that's part of why they were/are the greatest band in rock 'n roll history. And their inner circle was committed to preserving an image of being accessible. They knew they were fundamentally 4 blokes from Liverpool who made it big.
Wonderful interview--Kevin is quite the find. I have seen Paul twice in Indy---The song to share
is If you want me to I will.
I sat behind Paul in a Broadway show a few year back. It wasn't planned. It just happened. I spent the whole show looking at the back of Paul's head, like a 9 year old fan, oblivious to most of the show on the stage. Half the theater spent time sneaking nonchalant glances, trying to look cool and uninterested. It must be weird being Paul McCartney. He's always a spectacle.
The moment your creeping Paul McCartney as he's looking creepy trying not to watch you creep him as he's creeped that you were creeping on him, leaving you questioning your own level of creepiness.
@@nathueil1 Such a strange comment. That my being a fan of Paul McCartney and his music would "creep" you out is truly "creepy". Psychologists call this projection. The meds must not be working today.
@@Peter7966 Sounds like you need to get off of yourself and maybe try a few happy pills as well.😂 What's even stranger is you referring to yourself as a 9 year old unless your 12 since this was a few years back? 😂 So either your a child and I'm sorry my comment hurt your feelings because your a McCartney fan, or your a grown ass man referring to himself as a child...and a 9 year old at that to be specific, which leads me to believe you gotta helluva lot deeper issues than I do pal.😂
Peter, pay no heed to the negative comment. Obviously, he doesn't get it - esp the part where you felt like a kid again. It's how any fan would behave, (including him - altho he feels, he's above it) if they were lucky to be seated behind a favorite star. Thank you for sharing your story.
On a side note, I'm sure Paul's use to his celebrity by now.
"Something" is my favourite.................................
haha!
What a lovely guy Kevin is! Puzzled why there aren't anymore views on this with the documentary going on. Wonderful extra information to how great the fab four were. Thank you Kevin for sharing and holding up John's lyrics and cheers to you Otis for making this happen. Love to you both from the Netherlands.
Ps I can't think of a favorite song but I sure did enjoy Paul's reaction being thrilled the cops had arrived on the roof.
All through “Get Back” i kept thinking “I’d like to hear from Kevin.” This is terrific.
Great stuff, Otis❗
Sir Paul has a few, so I'll go with Penny Lane...it was always a favourite while growing up.
Love it
Maybe I'm Amazed is probably my favorite song.
For my lovely wife...it has to be "Maybe I'm Amazed". Otis, Somehow you got to do a long form with Kevin...this guy is a treasure that needs to be mined and archived for eternity.
woke up got out of bed drag a comb across my head
Gimme Some Truth- John
When I’m 64.
❤
Haven't watched the documentary yet. Can't wait. Is Kevin the guy from the Instant Karma video playing the tambourine?
Favorite paul song is still a john song, the middle part in Day in a life
uncle albert/admiral halsey - Favorite because it is like a Sgt. Pepper reject.
Favorite song..minbo link. You know the 29 second bsss and guitar riff.
S6hirt Stuff like that he'd put on the albums.
Hope he makes some mony from the Get Back film. He's in a lot of the clips.
Ringo left during the White album recording???
I think Mal Evan needs a Documentary and Kevin of course
Who is this guy? I thought Neil and Mal were their only roadies!
Yesterday
Yesterday.
Stands out the sufficiency with which they dealt with George Harrison
Favorite McCartney song? I’ll go with Hello Goodbye
Really?
I guess the Long One doesn't count...
We don't have a big mansion or any Hare Krishnas knocking about but could Kevin come and live with us for a while do you think? It would be medicine. We could offer tea and biscuits...
Honey and lemon is not actually good for your throat.
Spector was an incredibly BAD DECISION... hell.. at the time as a teenager I could've predicted THAT... Spector was good for the 1963 and 64 Motown shit... but NOT for the 1969 Beatles... JESUS
"Little Lamb Dragonfly" off the Red Rose Speedway Lp and "Rock Show", off the Venus and Mars Lp I like that he mentions Jimmy Page and his amp, a "relic from a different age".
The roadie still here , Paul was a regular good human being, still is, Ringo salt of the earth, and Phil Spector, in jail where he belongs.
Phil Spector is dead btw.
Phil Spector died last January.
He's dead.Covid,I believe.
I am going to pick a paul song that isn't as famous. It is called "I'm Carrying," and I think it is on London Town album.
George H admired it very much.
great choice!
Difficult choosing a song, first thing that comes to mind is Blackbird. Thoughtful, optimistic and a beautiful melody. Jenny Wren is a favorite too. Songs that are timesless, pure magic. Thanks.
6:47 LOVE this guys laugh ....as a person with a laugh so quirky myself ....thats gold ha ! -great interview .
I live around the corner from Paul McCartney. Occasionally I see him in the street or in the local pubs. Not in the pubs too often though. Nice guy. Friendly. I thought it odd that he said he was from Speke in Liverpool, a new housing estate then which is right next to the airport, the same place as George Harrison - they met on the bus going to school. Paul left Speke when he about 11 years of age moving to Allerton. The house in Allerton was where he and John wrote some of the early songs. When you become aware of the world, being influenced with your character forming, he was in Allerton.
Favorite Paul McCartney song... "Rode all night" from the ram sessions. My 15 year old son's favorite Paul song is "return to pepperland"
Favourite McCartney song is...well that's impossible, but Elanor Rigby is right up there with Paperback Writer. Wings tracks would be Junior's Farm, Rock Show, Band On The Run.
Wait, so is he saying they made the bus in seconds flat, found their way upstairs and had a smoke?
Love his story about Mal... It speaks volumes of what a kind person he was...
Can’t pick just one. Kevin has a wonderfully infectious laugh.
Great vids Otis! These stories of Kevin’s are an amazing insight into a world most of us can only imagine.
Yesterday
This is gold for Beatles fans can't get enough of this guy
That tribute to Mal Evans is so fantastic! Thank You Kevin! And Otis! As for Paul song, Michelle! PLAY LOUD
What a great story. If I had my way I’d be able to hang out with my hero’s and call them up and talk to them, just taking the bus or having a tea. Playing a song. Writing one together. Kinda like the way Kevin describes here. It’s amazing and a dream. As for McCartney. Fave song must be (non Beatles)…maybe I’m amazed and that would be something
Live and Let Die. Thanks for these - really enjoying the conversations and I'm not even a real Beatles fan!
What a wonderful man Kevin must be to talk to off camera. Love your channel Otis. I appreciate you letting your guest talk get his story out and you never step on their toes. You have some great guests too. Are all or most of your interviews recorded in Nashville? My favorite storyteller is Kenny Vaughn I could listen to him all day. Thank you!
I would like to see a conversation between Kevin and Keith Richards...it would be impossible to understand what they are talking about....they both have that British mumble that is tough to decipher. Great stuff, though.
Lovely Rita. great episode
Need to hear some of his Derek and the Dominos stories
Paul- Penny Lane
Mal is the best
I LuV U
I just saw Get Back and I'm suprimen as he used to dress like today young men

Monkberry Moon Delight
Outstanding! Thanks Otis and Kevin for sharing these stories!
Solo/Wings, Let Me Roll It never gets old
The Long and Winding Road
What a cool cat....

Favorite McCartney song is Maybe I'm Amazed. Great song, singing, guitar solo. PS I love its somewhat homemade quality.
