- Paul McCartney recently uncovered photographs he'd thought were lost - ones he took during The Beatles' first tour of America in 1964. The pictures - candid shots from the vantage point of newly-anointed superstars - are the basis of a new book, "1964: Eyes of the Storm," and an exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery. Correspondent Anthony Mason gets a private tour with McCartney, who talks about documenting the astonishing welcome that the "lads from Liverpool" received.

What an extraordinary experience the Beatles had. 60 years later these lads still put a smile on my face.
They were amazing huh? Love all their music even today.❤😂🎉
Me too…and a tear in my eye.
I can still remember sitting on the carpet in front of a black and white tv watching ED Sullivan that night.
duh
Indeed. How did we all get this old? I was a kid when the Beatles came to America. Now Sir Paul and I are both old men. How did this happen?
That photo of George by the pool is a work of art. 👌
Yes indeed.
Paul McCartney's legacy simply refuse to fade away...what a guy.
What a guy ✌️
He can still make girls scream and faint. Not a bad run.
I concur.
@@azynkronhe would make me scream and faint like a teenage girl
he should be inmortal
Sir Paul has represented the Beatles in such a beautiful light. He has framed it perfectly with these photos.
Yeah, Sir Paul releases those old photos taken by James Paul McCartney
Billy's here have you guessed?@@NaaHva
Not many people have the chance to take photo's like those, it's so cool seeing the POV of a Beatle!
His brother was a photographer - so they had the family instinct.
Didn't Ringo take a lot of photos too...from the Beatle POV...
@@allenf.5907 His first wife, Linda Eastman, was also a professional photographer.
@@jeffschwartz4t.o.council-j132 Yes, yes but these photos were in 64. His basis was Michael McCartney.
Wow, he recorded his own history via the camera. Nice one. Happy birthday, Sir Paul.
How did he record his own history? He's not Paul McCartney, play catch up.
@@DiGi-pc7nz Just stop.
@@MothGirl007 They won't, unfortunately.
@@DiGi-pc7nzPlease don't be an idiot.
Imagine rediscovering the film you took more than half a century ago and reliving the history that you yourself created! That is priceless!

"I love this guy. He's where I'm from."

"From lads from Liverpool, that was exceptionally wonderful."
Sir Paul has not forgotten where he came from and embraces his roots with affection and appreciation.
What an extraordinary life!
One of the greatest musician and songwriters.
Not one of the greatest songwriters....
The greatest songwriter.
Guinnes world record most succesful songwriter. His song Yesterday has the most number of covers. Trully a genius.
@@salterrae2525yet it’s so incredibly simple. The barren simplicity of the song made it extremely relatable to billions across the planet.
Paul has been the most consistent in promoting the group…the way he captures the innocence, Hope and joy they experienced comes through with his work. Thank you Paul.
HE WAS LIVID IN 1969 WHEN JOHN BROKE THE BAND UP
@@harleydurianriders4477 LZ was great, but they were not The Beatles. The Beatles had 3 singers, 4 if you count Ringo. Led Zep has one singer. The Beatles had a much wider range than LZ. Sure, LZ had some ballads, but not the quality or quantity of The Beatles. Cream, they are almost forgotten now, Clapton has been playing the same thing for the last 30 years. Hendrix was a great guitarist with a mediocre voice. The Beatles changed everything. If it wasn't for the Beatles there would not have been a Hendrix or a Cream. When you ask Plant or Page or Clapton who their influencers were, they all say The Beatles.
@@harleydurianriders4477this is the dumbest thing I've read all day
The Beatles music was just to scary for me:)
This guy is gonna outlive us …! Sharp memory for his age ! Long live the Beatles!
AMEN TOO THAT!
Sir Paul is still so cool and humble. He was so down to Earth that he was taking pictures of everyone else around him. Not obsessed with himself and his own stardom.
No selfie sticks in 1964, just tripods.
It's too bad Lennon and Harrison didn't live longer so that they could view this stuff and really appreciate the great times they all shared together.
Happy birthday Paul. Thank you for changing the world with your music. ( with a little help from your friends.)
Unless you were alive at the time, unless you were in your teens, unless you didn’t live in a cave.. you couldn’t begin to understand the power they held over the masses!! We were all hooked under magical period of music, and it’s effect throughout the decades still has a place. The songs still leave a smile on the face and shine likes diamond’s in our memories of those glorious times!! That was
THE BEATLES!!
You have described it so perfectly. I can still remember the first time I heard " Love, love me do " Beatlemania is the right description .It totally consumed us.I bet like me you can be back in those moments instantly.The excitement and the all powerful love we felt for them is still so clear .It was all so different to anything that had gone before.The excitement of queuing down the street from the record shop on the day a new album was released.Then carrying it home like a treasure and pouring over every every word and picture on the cover whilst listening to new songs Nearly wearing the needle out on the record player playing it over and over again..Carving their names in our leather school satchels,sticking every photo we could find on our walls...and getting a telling off from mum. Dreaming about meeting them. What a time it was.😢😢❤❤
The music of the Beatles is timeless. Happy Birthday Paul McCartney.
💯💞✌️
One of the most joyous piece I’ve ever seen on CBS Sunday Morning! That shot of George and girl in yellow bikini…wow👏🏼😍And Sir Paul looks absolutely phenomenal! What a gentleman and what an eye🤗🙌🏼
I wish John and George could have gotten to see those photos. Can you imagine finding 60 year old photos of you and your mates having the times of your lives that you'd never seen before? Amazing.
My father, on his death bed, told me, " You really loved the Beatles as a kid ." I was 6 when the Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan show . At that time, they were my favorite band .
To be so talented and still be humble, that’s the reason the world loves this man so much ❤❤
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the impact of these photos and the meaning each one holds are indescribable.
How, on earth, did he keep all those photos organized?
And, they are great pictures. When I look at my old pictures from that time, I realize how amateurish they are. Paul had a real talent for taking pictures as well as all his other creative abilities.
His daughter Mary, who is a professional photographer like her late mother Linda, once said that all of the people in her family seemed to have an eye for photographs and composition, not just her mother.
Thank you for airing this! My late husband Tim was a MASSIVE Beatles fan. He was born in '63, but was introduced to them by his brother who was 8 years his senior, so watching this brought up great memories
A beautiful memory and sentiment. I’m Gen X. Their music is timeless. Always will be.
RIP Tim
@@callmemrbroadstreet5602 I'm Gen X, too. I liked the Beatles before I met Tim, but falling in love with someone with such a deep emotional connection with them (Tim said he was heartbroken when John Lennon was murdered) made them come alive to me and now their music stirs memories of my relationship with Tim.
@@uphilliceskater thank you!
I’m gen Z. The fact that there are tons of people like me that think the Beatles are the best shows the timelessness and sheer quality of there music.
I Love this Music
I was 9 yrs Old in 1964
Ed Sullivan‼️The Beatles
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Paul. This was WONDERFUL ! I was 19 in 1964 when I moved to L.A. to break into showbusiness. I can tell you that what Paul describes what he went through is truth. I never attained the success that he or The Beatles achieved, but THIS is how it was when you first started out and were successful. You experience things you never thought possible. You're living a life so foreign to you that you're beyond happy, but still in shock. I am so happy and proud of what Paul has achieved in his life and am thrilled that he decided to share it with us. It was so long ago and some many roads have been taken. I'm just proud that I even experienced just a small part of that life and success. Thank you Paul. 💙
Very cool. Love how McCartney continues to further the Beatles legacy with grace and class. He’s got a great dry and laid back sense of humor.
The night that changed my life. It was as if my Beatles 45 record had come to life.
Meeting Paul in person at a private gathering had me smiling for weeks! He is a truly nice understated charming polite individual. Loved that he is so naturally nice.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
I had the opportunity to meet Paul on a hiking trail here in LA a few years back, just the nicest person and with that natural charm.
My dream is to meet him. Incredibly lucky. I’m glad you got to meet him.
Nothing will ever be more iconic in pop culture than The Beatles. The band has become more than legendary. Mythical.
Michael Jackson is more iconic it doesn't matter if you like it or not Michael Jackson is the most famous and best artist ever
@@Tyler-uo7rf LOL
Elvis>both
@@CoachKRiLLiN I’ll give you credit for that. Without Elvis, there wouldn’t have been the Beatles.
@@CoachKRiLLiN don't forget Chuck Berry
Paul, you just keep giving us not only fantastic music, but memories we share with you now and forever.
Happy birthday, buddy, you've made us all happy.
Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day Sir Paul!
I remember waiting for each new Beatle album to be released and the joy and wonder each time at their creation. Today, all their songs are iconic, but there was a time they didn't exist.
I know.. it almost felt like scandalous when all their albums were released at once on Spotify and I was able to listen to every song they’ve ever made within 24 hours. Overwhelming! Really would’ve appreciated it more if I had to wait for it
That has to be cool. The only thing like that I experienced was the Anthology series. That set me off into exploring all of their sessions and outtakes. It was sort of like getting new stuff.
@@tenn_ore I should watch that again. To me, the Beatles are Gods. I'm just happy I got to live when John was alive. It's like knowing Jesus.
@@harleydurianriders4477 i know, I only knew songs like obla di obla da before
What a man, so generous with the extraordinary life that he led, no only through his great music, but then with his memories, telling and retelling all of these great stories that mean so much to so many people.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
I feel like I grew with the Beatles. I remember the first time on radio and dancing outside on the sidewalk to their music..
I literally grew up with them. No other band holds that status in my heart.
Same here 💯
The man is a world treasure. We need to figure out a way to keep him alive forever
I agree 💯
I think he figured that out for us (sort of).
VERY BAD DAY WHEN HE PASSES!!!!
@@gregorypaine513 I've been thinking that too, and it's true... but then I think, "I lived in the era of The Beatles.... I saw Paul McCartney in concert 4 times..." Sad, tho it will be, I do have that!!
Clone him
That man will never know all of the joy he has brought into my life. As a second generation fan, I have never known a world without him and his music, and I’m so incredibly grateful.❤
Me 2 Hey jude the best
Happy Birthday Paul!! Words cannot express!!!❤
Not the point, but if i were Anthony Mason, i'd still be pinching myself. What a thrill this interview must have been for him.
ANTHONY TELL HIM HIS FAVORITE SONGS & U SIR LOOKED GOOD IN A BEARD 1969
Now I really want to check out that “Eye of the Storm” book. It looks really interesting!
I still know the songs by hart. Thanks you Paul/Beatles for all the great songs and memories. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
👋💕✌️
I love Paul’s American reporter accent🤣
What an absolute legend Macca is👏🏼❤️❤️
Truly remarkable person. What a positive and loving man -- he still seems to have such awe and gratitude for all that has happened in his life.
He comes across as very down to earth and grateful not at all jaded. And his humor! Mason: “You had to have a good eye.” McCartney: “Ah yes, the left eye”
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
Happy Birthday, Sir Paul! Please bring the exhibit to NYC!
He looks fabulous
It is one of the great pleasures of my life to have been able to see them from the first appearance on Ed Sullivan, to today. It is a musical blessing without peer.
This man is great at everything! 🤩😀 What can't he do??😭😭😍👍👍
Tell the truth?
I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was 9 years old at the time. They were great on the show! The Beatles are my all time favorite band. They were pioneers in music during the late 60's and early 70's, along with Led Zepplin in the 70's. Music started changing at that time. It was an interesting time in music history.
All you had to do was mention the Beatles and Zeppelin in the same sentence and you got my attention! So glad I grew up with such amazing music!
@@Jackie-gh4kq Yep!! There were so many great groups and other musicians. Probably the best era in music.
I remember, too. The first time my British mum (living in the USA) let us stay up late to watch Ed Sullivan. Two treats!😊
I was in the audience! They taped 2 shows, as I recall. My girlfriend and I were almost ejected for screaming so loudly!😅
Great slice of history!
What honor ro be there. The waiting must have been so tough. But it went so fast didn't it? You were so lucky but could you hear them.? How did you get tickets? I know they went to Central park and fans must have surrounded them
I always thought they were chased in the streets of England but had no idea they were chased in the streets of NewYork
@@sallykohorst8803 my mom got tickets through a friend whose husband had an ad agency in NYC. We waited for them to arrive at the Ed Sullivan Theater, and when they pulled up the few of us all went running to be close to them. They were great, and friendly. After the show we headed to the Plaza Hotel where they were staying, and saw them stick their heads out their room window and wave. A huge crowd was outside their hotel. Magical days!
Boy what memories and so good for you.
I’m 17 but in my eyes there is no question this man is the greatest song writer of all time.
@@harleydurianriders4477 I have and I still agree Paul is the greatest of all time.
@@harleydurianriders4477 No one beats Sir Paul
@astragor4 Agree

Happy birthday, Sir Paul - but the gift of your photographs is ours! I don't know if the exhibit will travel but I was blessed to see the exhibit of Linda's photography currently on display at the Center for Creative Photography at University of Arizona's campus through 8/5/23 (I live in Tucson) and it feels like an answer to this prodigious collection of your own photographs. I was 7 years old when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan and I remember it in every cell of my memory, then saw the Beatles in person at age 10 in 1966 at Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan (I won two tickets in a contest sponsored by Cunningham's Drugstore and took my 11-year old neighbor). Such a magical time and you are the magician that helped to create it ❤
@@harleydurianriders4477 It is true, I have the photos to prove it and having gotten older, I must marvel at my mom's bravery to let her 10 year old daughter and her 11 year old neighbor girl go to this concert in 1966 when there were no cell phones and trust that we would find where she said she would park the car at the appointed hour (the concert was during the day, amazingly enough, I think it was August 13, 1966). We did it! Success from start to finish! The Beatles were wearing light-colored suits, they were fronted by Cyrkle ("Red Rubber Ball"). I can still hear the wall of screaming that made up most of the sound. Heaven only knows what I did with the ticket stubs.
The photos look really cool.
Outstanding !!! Happy Birthday, Paul!
I was 7 in '64 we knew a week before The Beatles were going to be on a show we watched every week.
So there we were, my Parents, my two Sisters and me watching history being made.
It was great!!
Me too and the next day at school that's all we talked about 😊
I'm a lad from Liverpool in fact just a couple of miles from Paul's house in South Liverpool and absolutely loved this interview, so glad Paul found these historical photographs which I look forward to seeing at London's National Portrait Gallery soon.
Paul is the absolute biggest celebrity in the world and deservedly so.
The late Linda McCartney's photographs are currently on exhibit at the Center for Creative Photography here in Tucson. it's a very interesting show that highlights her artistic skills, and also features poignant moments of her and Paul's family life.
Man, I hope I'm that healthy looking and sounding at 81 like Paul is. He looks great.
I'd be happy at 81 just to still be able to hear...the Beatles!
I was aware of The Beatles a month or two before the Ed Sullivan Show. A neighbor had their first UK release LP. Somehow we knew life had changed that TV evening, and it did. Love the photos, Paul! How wonderful you rediscovered them and thanks for sharing! It's so rare that you even had a second to take any photos. Happy Birthday, Paul!
Happy Birthday Sir Paul! ❤ I can't help but smile and be happy when anything new about the Beatles appears. I've ordered the Eyes of the Storm book and booked tickets for the screening of A Hard Days Night. Cannot wait to see it on big screen!
What a fabulous archive of the Fab Four! So happy it was rediscovered for all to see. Happy birthday, Sir Paul!
The footage at 1:00 shows a transformative moment, not only for The Beatles, but for us as well. Things were never the same after their arrival at Kennedy Airport. And seeing John come off the plane in NY, wind blowing his hat off, setting him on his ultimate destiny....just chills when I think of the import of that moment.
I remember very well their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show --- it was very near my 5th birthday, I was all set to watch The Wonderful World of Disney (a cartoon presentation I'd been looking forward to all week, a birthday present just for me), when my babysitter comes over in a bit of a panic, Ed Sullivan is about to come on and their TV is broken, can she please please watch The Beatles on our TV?? Mom of course said yes, and I sulked miserably behind a chair the whole time. But I was there, sort of, at this breakthrough moment that changed history. So Linda, wherever you are, sorry I was mad at you, and thank you for coming over that day.
To me, they represent those beautiful days before rock stars were arrogant, snarling narcissists. They were clever, glib, charming and overall just pleasant. Their talent made them famous but it was their personalities that made them so extremely popular. The amazing thing is that they were really a humble bunch of guys that never lost sight of where they came from or how lucky they were to have lived the life they got to live. How can you not love them?
He was a bit of a narcissist in the 70s when he was in wings he had an interview and he was making obnoxious jokes
I remember occasionally seeing Paul with a camera when in the US. And I thought to myself, that's an intriguing concept! 🤔 😂 So happy to hear that he has all of these pictures and that they are being shared with the public. Brightest Blessings to You Paul! ☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Happy Birthday! Thank you! Beatles for changing the world!
He is blessed to see 81.
I’m glad he’s still here. Love them all.
Paul, thanks for sharing these photos! Glad you're still singing & writing songs !! We're all so lucky to have had the Beatles way back then and forever into the future!

The greatest band of all time. Not the greatest musicians, but they had three of the greatest songwriters of all time. According to the website Beatles FAQ, The Beatles have sold 2.7 BILLION records worldwide since 1963. I believe that says it all.

There's the Beatles & then there's everybody else.
Wonderful video with an extraordinary man Paul and the Beatles taking over the world! Happy birthday Paul and happy fathers day. Can't wait for that song! The Beatles forever!

Amazing photos with a heartfelt slice of history...my grandfather retired from Pennsylvania Railroad...I would like to think that was him❤🙏🎸🎶...bravo again Paul!
I was skeptical about A.I. but if it will give the world another Beatles record, I am all for it! Paul - still going strong, still brilliant, always a superstar!
Same
They are just using AI to extract Lennons vocal from a demo
The AI is just to isolate John Lennon’s vocals from one of the demos he left behind on cassette tapes.
Thank you, Paul. You are the world's greatest living legend. This look at The Beatle's past, is beyond amazing. It's history.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
From these you can see that Paul has an eye for composition. Some are just snapshots but some, like the policman's holstered pistol, are quite artistic.
Happy Birthday Sir Paul! Thx for the memories!
Having grown up in Miami Beach and knowing that the Beatles we're staying there was just amazing
All these years later and I still love anything Beatles. It's hard to imagine what it must have been like for them. It is also hard to imagine a world without them.
Happy Birthday Paul! Love you.
I should get the book. My father was the wire service stringer photographer in Miami Beach when they came, and spent an entire day with them. I'm incredibly curious to see if he shows up in any of Paul's pictures. He always had a soft spot for Paul; maybe it's because he always had a camera, too.
Wow! Cool story
That’s so cool.
Like millions of others, my 'real' life began when I had just turned 9 and the Beatles came to the USA. That Paul has a natural, unerring eye for visual composition along with his genius for music, is yet another gift to the world from this cherished man. For a 21 year-old learning to use his first camera, these works are extraordinary.
Love the photo compilation and history.
Never can get enough of McCartney or the Beatles. ❤ Happy 81st Birthday Paul!🎂
My daughter and I went to see the exhibition in London on Friday, loved it! Felt quite emotional actually, so special. ❤
I could have easily watched a whole hour of this. Love Paul.
Fabulous memories and a lovely interview
The Beatles are the only band in the world that almost everybody knows the names of each member even 53 years after they broke up and the deaths of 2 of them.
