I like the way Paul tells a story in a kind, nostalgic way, about his bandmates and tries to be as diplomatic as possible. Always comes off as a great human being

[@seerstone8982]

His children were lucky to have him for a father.

So awesome to see Sir Paul and Stanley Tucci talk, please release the complete thing

Everytime I hear this story I cry laughing because I can just picture John saying “Those people on the corner are crazy!” 😂

[@Revolver1981]

Yeah let's hope Sir Paul didn't make that story up.

[@fugueholic]

I was born in 1985, and strictly speaking, I am not the generation of the Beatles (although I became a big fan of theirs by listening to their fantastic albums afterwards). Then, I don't know why I feel nostalgia while I am listening to his private and warm episode with Lennon. Mysterious.

[@AbbysRoadFilms]

That is THE BEST and funniest story about John I’ve heard yet! 😂 I love that! Too funny! And btw, Stanley Tucci is one of my all-time favorite actors, so to be interviewing one of my all-time favorite musicians (with John being the other one) is like I struck gold, seeing this. Thanks for the laughs, Paul. ♥️😂

[@maddiemae73]

Paul, you are such a beautiful storyteller. You are such a blessing

[@channelnow5845]

One of the world's greatest tragedies was losing one of it's greatest souls. John, i only have discovered your music as of this year, but I cannot explain to you how grateful I get to hear anything from you at all. Thank you Paul for always keeping him close. Beatles forever

[@seerstone8982]

Imagine if instead of being shot, John was hit by a vehicle like his mom. Crossing the sidewalk from the Dakota to Central Park. Imagine he died from being ran over by a smelly garbage truck with faulty brakes?

I've heard that story about John countless times and it's still funny. John and I are in the same club. ❤

[@josephconsoli4128]

HAHA!I love how all these little stories are coming out from Paul now. I'm so glad he's still with us and doing well. With my brothers being Beatles and Wings fans, there's never been a time in my life without Paul!

[@jucadance3401]

I love you Paulie

[@joecrowaz]

I could listen to Macca tell stories all day 💜

[@white-rabbit93]

I believe they were really playing cards on the porch of their house in the middle of the night. Even without glasses, Lennon saw the trees, winds, clouds, love, dreams, everything so clearly. Everything was so clearer in his heart. I love him. I love you. I love the Beatles. Thank you for this beautiful weekend love & laughter. ❤❤

[@Aderin.]

Paul seems comfortable in this interview and he looks like he's having a good time

[@roberto_alves]

Paul, thank you for everything you've done in our lives with all of your music. I still remember the first time I heard the Help! Looks like it was yesterday. That blew my mind and that's why I started playing guitar at 11 years old. If God asked me who in the world I would like to meet in person, the answer would be simple: Paul McCartney. How I wish that could happen. May I have your permission to use some Beatles songs on my channel here on KZbin to teach people how to record and play at home? Greetings from Rio Stay safe!

[@malcolmpritchard4882]

Paul Mac is great he always brings a smile to my face 😊

[@buffbuff5016]

I loved John in those specs!! To me he was handsome any way…it was his quirkiness and humour that drew me in as well as his aquiline features. Oh my he is so missed. 💔

[@gretchennelson7056]

He is missed SO much.

[@cindybee7461]

I would just love to sit and listen to him telling all these stories. So interesting. Love him❤

I noticed in the videos of Beatles performances 1963-66 John always had his head back a little so his eyelids were more narrowed and he could see better without squinting….
