Welcome Back 2Legs Fam!

It's been nearly 20 years since Paul's latter day 21st Century Masterpiece Chaos and Creation In The Backyard. Where did that time go? To accompany and promote the record Paul held an intimate gathering of fans and friends at Abbey Road, recorded in Studio 2 to demonstrate some of the creative processes that he and The Beatles used to employ there and have a bit of fun along the way. Filmed on 28 July 2005 and originally broadcast on BBC2 17 December 2005 and PBS in the USA 27th February 2006 and directed by Simon Hilton "Chaos And Creation At Abbey Road" provides such an intimate glimpse of Macca at work playing familiar tunes in a whole new arrangement ('Band On The Run', 'Lady Madonna', 'I've Got A Feeling') among several from the forthcoming album which dropped in September of that year. Did you watch this upon initial release? or when it was bundled in the CD set? Let us know in the comments below!

We love deep dives back into stuff like this!

We hope you do too!

Peace Andy and Tom

This week on 2Legs (amidst the brand new touring rumours, and Babs dropping her duet on 'My Valentine' with Macca) we are pleased to revisit the Interview Series - where we dissect a rare and not often seen interview with Paul. On this episode we chose the 1977 Interview from an Australian TV program titled "Count Down."

This recently surfaced on YouTube and to see the late 70s Wings trio ensconced in the privacy of #2 Studio at Abbey Road is pretty cool to witness. They appear bored at times (Denny especially) but Paul and Linda give some good sound bites here about what's to come.

This was mainly used as a promotional tool for the then current single 'Mull of Kintyre.' The gentlemen interviewing Wings is Molly Meldrum. Orignally broadcasted on 24th December 1977.

And we like Paul music post-1981, sorry not sorry!

Peace Andy & Tom

Happy May 2Legs Fans!

Andy and Tom are back this week to discuss what our "Desert Island Discs" would be. Following the format of Paul's appearance on the BBC Radio programme from his appearance on the show from January 1982 with BBC Presenter Roy Plomley. We chose 5 Paul/Wings Songs and 5 non-Paul/Beatles songs as well as one book and a luxury item like Paul did! If you've never heard the whole show - the link for the (audio) is below. The only video to surface from this appearance is the famous one where Paul is visibly shaken while listening to 'Beautiful Boy' - A touching moment; and a rare glimpse of Paul so honest. What would your 5 Paul songs to take away with you? Let us know! See you soon! Andy and Tom

Hi 2Legs Faithful! A long one in the making! Joining us for E279 is Author/Researcher/Journalist/Musician Keith Badman. Keith penned a trio of 3 Beatles "Bibles" in the early 00s. The first being After The Breakup 1970-2000 which was one of the first texts to compile Solo Beatles activity in a Day By Day format (Like Lewisohn).

Andy quickly snapped up the book upon seeing on the shelves (RIP Borders!) circa 2001-02. His copy is well worn (as you'll see in the show). He brought it to Tom's attention shortly after joining the show. Keith did some work for The Beatles Anthology via a mutual friend Chips Chiperfield. He tells us about that and how he came to write the book.

He followed up "After The Breakup" with two subsequent volumes titled "Off The Record" which collected quotes from Beatles and Associates.

Hello 2Legs Faithful!

We finally were able to record a proper episode again after a few hectic weeks post-Fest and Venus and Mars 50th Anniversary. This week on 2Legs Andy and Tom talk Macca Remixes! There are plenty of Macca Remixes out there; most of them coming during the Maxi-Single era of the 1980s. Special Thanks to Susan Gagne for this topic! The most recent one would be the remixes of 'Hope For The Future' that came out on that EP. "Thrash", "Beatsession", "Jaded" and "Mirwais" (2014).

We give 5 selections (and play some samples of all the songs!) and list an honourable mention. It many cases sometimes the remix of a particular song worked out better than the official album version! What are some of your favourite Macca remixes he's released over the years?

The link to the new channel featuring Andy, Kyle and Beatley Tone is here! Please like and sub!

A Bonus Episode this week!

On Our YouTube channel we did a special livestream that ran 6 Hours and 20 minutes!  Andy, along with 2Legs Collaborator Kyle Hand and Beatley Tone (and guests) we complied an 11 song playlist for every Era of Paul McCartney's Career from 1963 to 2020 (Please Please Me to McCartney III).  This is not for the faint of heart!  It might take you a week (or a month) to listen to!  

We had fantastic responses from the viewers for suggestions.  Many thanks to our guests: RussBeatle63, Susan Ryan (SRR), Eoghan Lyng, Joan Borelli, Tom Frangione, Adrian Sinclair and Boyan Archer for collaborating with us to come up with this playlist!  Not an easy task and at 6 hours and 20 minutes 2Legs now holds the record for Longest Podcast Episode discussing The Beatles! 

Ram On!

Hello 2Legs Family!

An episode recorded live at the 2025 Fest For Beatles Fans in Jersey City we are extremely proud to share this with you this week. Hot on the heels of the Venus and Mars 50th Anniversary half speed master release in March, Andy and Tom had the privilege to interview our friends Adrian Sinclair and Allan Kozinn, Co-Authors of The McCartney Legacy book series at the Fest to discuss this landmark Wings album, its context, some stories about the sessions, the artwork and we get Adrian and Allan's ranking on each track as well!

This was a lot of fun and our BEST Fest panel yet! We'd like to thank all the Fest attendees who elected to watch this live. Some people left because the room was full and we apologise for that but we hope you enjoy this video recording of the discussion! We'd also like to especially thank Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair for their time and their work on these books.

They have spent 10 years working on these two books and their work should be celebrated and recognised by Macca fans and scholars worldwide.

Peace Andy and Tom

A Fun and Quick one this Fest Week!

For E276, continuing on the theme that Andy, Kyle and Tony have been doing on their "Hands Across The Water" Live Shows, this week Andy and Tom compiled a 30 song Paul/Wings/Solo playlist based on the running order of The Beatles 1968 White Album.

Paul's career is so eclectic and varied it truly is like one big White Album! Many thanks to viewer Chris Hahn for this suggestion!

What does your Paul "White Album" look like? Tell us in the comments and we hope to see you this weekend at the NJ Fest!

Peace and Love to all!

Our first proper episode in a few weeks! Welcome back 2Legs Faithful!

For E274 we were honoured to have the esteemed Jeff Slate, a New York City based musician and journalist join us! In this episode we cover a lot of ground! Dylan and Macca's late career albums from 1997 on (Time Out Of Mind & Flaming Pie) being the re-launch for a renaissance for both elder statesmen of rock at the time. "A Complete Unknown", The Beatles solo careers, Wings, Dylan/McCartney's approaches to their archival releases; the standards albums that both have done. Dylan's relationship with George/John and the non-existent one with Macca.

We even touch on a little bit of The Who! We dish on how they both sound live currently (double standard ?) and the legacy that both will leave behind. Jeff Slate wrote the liner notes to the 50th Anniversary boxset to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017) as well as the Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 14: More Blood; More Tracks (2018). He has collaborated with Pete Townshend on several projects. He co-wrote a biography on Roy Orbison with Roy's sons. He has also interviewed Bob himself! If this wasn't enough he has his own solo career and he's just recently released his 4th Solo album The Last Day of Summer which features Dave Stewart and Earl Slick. Jeff is known for some controversial "hot takes" and you may hear 1 or 2 in this episode! We love and appreciate honesty here on 2Legs!
