Great show guys as always and a fascinating topic. Eoghan was a great guest. I remember reading that Paul was up for appearing in the WWWF video but couldn't make the shoot day and suggested to George to just announce that it was him in walrus costume to help the single's success. The blurry figure that walks past in the video, sure looks like late 80s Paul - is it possible that they could have just superimposed that image on the video and what we see is the 'real Paul' despite him not being at the shoot?
Fantastic episode! The relationship between the remaining three and Yoko throughout the 80's is absolutely fascinating, seemingly full of love and admiration one day, and full of ice and daggers the next. Funnily enough, I've just started rereading Doggett's book. I would highly recommend 'Nuns On The Run' for Tom a hilarious movie and 'The Missionary' and 'A Private Function' are well worth a watch too... 🙂
Paul, like Brian Wilson, had the rare ability to think in the most complete way about songs. If you'd put Paul into the Beach Boys, the others would have revered him for what he brought to the group. If you put Brian into The Beatles, the others would have moaned, 'Oh, Brian always told us what to play, Brian always wanted it his way, etc etc'. Of course it might well irritate the others, but that doesn't mean it's not an extraordinary musical gift. The thing that saddens me about George is he seemed to think it was fine to keep sniping about Paul in the media - but he never expected it back. And somehow that gets excused by those who want to take sides.
Paul even admitted that he was bossy. George Harrison was right when he said John and Paul were too busy being John and Paul. If you watch the get back documentary when John and Paul are in the restaurant you even hear John say you even try to do things like that to my songs, meaning Paul was trying to tell the others how their songs should go. John and George should have spoke up more but it all worked out because they broke up which I think was a good thing.
@@daytripper9222 George was very contrary. He was such a fan of Dylan he allowed Dylan to behave in ways he moaned that John and Paul had. When George worked hard to get a hit, that was fine; when Paul did, it was sneered at as a sign of shallowness. They all had their faults but George's get ignored or explained away.
Great show, thanks, but I have to disagree about Paul not attending the R&R HOF induction. I think Paul was right not to attend and genuinely would have been a hypocrite to do so. Ringo and George could have resigned with EMI and asked for additional royalties, but they didn't. They could have bought shares in Northern Songs, but they didn't. And then suing Paul for taking the initiative was very petty. Paul certainly didn't owe them a heads up about his own business negotiations at this point after the Beatles had broken up. And, George's and Yoko's digs at Paul during the ceremony were nasty and uncalled for. Paul took the high road; they didn't.
Neil Aspinall walks through, holding the Imagine album. I'm sure I heard somewhere that the next figure after Neil is actually Paul. He wasn't there on the day, but he was edited on afterwards. If you slow down the video, It does look like it could be him (although he is turning his head away - towards the Walrus). It is also quite distorted, apparently due to the tech of the day and the fact that the source of Paul was VHS.
Yes, it is Aspinall with the Imagine album. When I interviewed Lol Creme, we touched on the video and he didn't mention McCartney's appearance.I can confirm Creme's manager was in the walrus costume.
Good points and Eoghan confirmed that it's Neil in fact holding Imagine LP, the "other" figure that passes by distorted has to be Paul from another source as you mentioned.
It's Paul! The hair is right for the time period, and, even though it's slowed down and blurred, the walk is the same as Paul. Now the *real* question is, did he do it barefoot?
That Rock 🪨 n roll hall of fame induction speech 🎤 is the most bittersweet induction of any artist in the hall of fame. Paul was a stupid Bugger not to go. Then he was mad 😡 at Yoko for her clever zinger. Eoghan is an A+ guest. ❤
Hello folks, excellent show, very interesting and informative. Paul and George’s relationship is such a fascinating topic and I’m really looking forward to Part 4! However, there’s one point that Andy made that I have to disagree with. It’s in relation to a potential Paul and Phil Collins collaboration. Paul's musical credibility was probably at its lowest ever at that time already, and I think that working with Phil Collins, who to me epitomised bland 80’s music, would have diminished it even further. Maybe not in the US but I think definitely on this side of the Atlantic. So I’m personally grateful it didn’t materialise.
I think Paul's general silence on commenting about George pubicly was too diplomatic in my eyes. I'm sure Paul could pick holes in George's musical output and personal life, but chose to keep out of that arena. It seems I'm alone on the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame no show as I wouldn't have shown up either with all the ltigation still going on. All the George and Yoko holier than thou bs, no thank you! From a UK perspective the Hall Of Fame wasn't a big deal especially back then in 1988, the first one I think, so not a major issue here. George's Paul and Beatle bitterness was starting to wear thin for me in the 80s. For all George's religious spritual leanings he was a not very forgivnig individual.
@@eoghanlyng5074 I like the songs Save Us, New, Everybody Out There, Looking At Her, Turned Out, Get Me Out of Here, Demons Dance and Hell to Pay. So quite a lot of bonus tracks.
Hey guys. Great show as always. Even as a teenager in the 80’s, I grew tired of mostly George’s constant negative comments toward Paul.

I hope I’m part four 4️⃣ you mention how bizarre it was that when George died Paul referred to him as his baby brother. 😢
Good evening everyone
hi
I think George would've done the Anthology anyway.

Paul didnt sign that contrct during Johns lifetime....it was after Broadstreet when the Columbia contract expired
@@louziccarelli7406 that’s what I thought Lou! I think it was around 1983.
@@2LegsAPaulMcCartneyPodcast I guess we will find out in Legacy II. ;)
When Paul didn't show up for the induction into the Hall of Fame that was just God awful. Also his reasoning was BS.
New was only half a good album for me. The songs on Egypt Station were far more interesting to me.
I have the exact opposite viewpoint. The beauty of art, eh?
