2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 284: Interview Archive Series | 1987 German InterviewWelcome Back 2Legs Fam!
This week we present another Interview Archive Series with Macca. When we do this we try to cherry pick rare and not often seen/discussed interviews. It's late 1987. Paul is riding the wave of success of his 2nd career spanning compilation "All The Best!". He has also been making the rounds on TV shows in Europe to promote his top selling single 'Once Upon A Long Ago' (also included on the UK "All The Best!" only). In the (audio only) interview conducted by Stefan Schlabritz & Slizzy Bob we hear Paul joke about his...2025-07-0147 min
2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 282: Chaos and Creation At Abbey Road 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 A...2025-06-051h 17
2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 281: Interview Series | Countdown 1977This 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...2025-05-2235 min

Andy and Tom are back this week to discuss what our "Desert Island Discs" would be.

2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 270: "Top 10 Collaborations!"Happy Weekend 2Legs Faithful! Ringo might be getting all the headlines this week (and rightly so, but the Macca Train keeps rolling along!).
A topic oft discussed in general but never tackled by us! On this week's show Andy and Tom list their Top 10 favourite Macca Collaborations over the years. We define "Collaboration" as: A song Paul wrote for someone else, someone else's song he sang/played on, a song of his that he did with someone else.

2Legs: A Paul McCartney PodcastEpisode 264: Divided Album Series | "Speed Of Sound"Welcome To November 2Legs Listeners!
For our first new show of the month we revisit a series we did a few weeks back called "Divided Albums." This time we chose that oft-neglected and overlooked Spring 1976 LP Wings at The Speed of Sound. This album routinely ranks pretty low in the Macca/Wings canon by most fans/critics because of its paint by numbers democratic approach. Despite having two huge hit singles in 'Silly Love Songs' (US #1) and 'Let 'Em In' (US #3). Which makes the album kind of an anomaly in his career. We both think it's a...2024-11-0954 min

Ranking The Beatles#86 - Baby's In Black with Andy Nicholes (co-host 2Legs Podcast)Though the Lennon & McCartney songwriting team found it harder and harder to truly write songs together from scratch as they got busier and busier, with "Baby's In Black," they were able to get "nose-to-nose" and write something truly different from what was expected at the time. A 3/4 time waltz with a melancholy lyric (possibly inspired by Astrid Kirchherr's mourning for Stu Sutcliffe), the first song they recorded for the Beatles For Sale album was a far cry from the uptempo Beatlemania rave ups of A Hard Day's Night or the Cavern-era screamers on their first two LPs. The song...2024-07-121h 16
