Welcome to the Letterman CZcams Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s. - Zábava
My mother-in-law was in Mexico in 1964. When she saw the headlines, English Beatles Invaded the U.S.,she thought it was an agricultural disaster.
I would be terrified too if I didn't know 😆
What a great story LambentLark!
Brilliant, I’m actually chuckling.😅
this is funny lol
She wasn't very good at spelling then lol
i just love how the audience just listen attentively and dave not interrupting. Truly a legend sir paul.
Letterman's just a lower ranking freemason than Billy so he knows his place.
Paul is so polite and sweet. He doesn’t readily speak ill of people even when he would be justified doing so.
Paul is so gracious. He could have been nasty about the whole MJ thing but, he shows no anger here. What a stand up individual!
Ur right, cause Jackson basically screwed him over.
True. He has gratitude. Hes still done extremely well for himself.
@@haashemmalik216
Paul had lost the rights of his old songs and wanted to buy them back.
But Michael had a lot more money and bought them.
Tiny voices makes me laugh so hard 🤣
He don’t look back in anger
Above and beyond his talents, Paul is a genuinely caring individual. I have a friend who met him while eating in a restaurant shortly after her husband passed away. She talked to him and they hugged over her loss. Fame never went to his head.
He knew that heartache.
Sorry, but fame went to his head. They all went completely bonkers as a result of it.

@@skinovtheperineum1208, win what way.
@@skinovtheperineum1208 Agree but i think when he got older his ego kinda shrunk (along with his balls ayo)
Paul McCartney is the living definition of a regular guy with enormous talent.
Always preferred George and John, Paul always seemed a bit fake to me.
A BIT ??? Ha as phony as pie
they were sued for 10 songs, they settled on 6 of them.
He's the Most Successful Musician And Songwriter In History. And Rightly so. Towers over Elvis ,any Rapper, a 100 times over ,Michael Jackson,Ray Charles,James Brown,Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Johnny Cash , and so forth. Those guys are all great and they look small in comparison for overall talent, playing, diversity, writing, singing with his body of work.
@@vernpascal1531 and a wonderful dancer.
There's nobody else like Paul. I'm glad he's still with us. As a Bass player myself, he was a huge influence on me not only as a player but also as a singer and composer.
I thought silly love songs was a lame tune when i was a kid. But now that bass riff is great
czcams.com/video/P0_ql-ZRQL8/video.html
@Joeh 1154 Funny you should say that.In the mid 60s I was 10 or so and learning guitar and diggin the music.I had even started a garage band,as kids do.In 67 I listened to Pepper at the wrong speed one day(45rpm).When an LP album is played at a faster speed the bass line becomes the prominent melody..apart from chipmonk vocals.It was at that moment it dawned on me how important the bass guitar was to any band.Anyway,Im still firstly a bass player to this day.There is no doubt that the bass playing on Pepper was a game changer for music,in many ways..even when played at the right speed!
@@JustTurned60 that was the era I grew up in. I took lessons on upright Bass before electric Bass which I was influenced by McCartney to play. I don't know if you play an instrument, but I think not. Loosen up bud, you'll give yourself agita.
Yes Paul McCartney is a great singer and glad he's still with us, Beatles a great group
Paul wouldn't say a bad word about anyone, he is such a gentleman. Plus, after seeing this interview, he could do "stand up"!
He was funny as Viv Stanshall......
Even as a 5 year old kid I knew this band was something special that night in 1964.
So did I! I was nervously clutching my Capitol 45 (with the picture sleeve) of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on February 9, 1964, and when they performed on the Ed Sullivan show I knew they were even more fun to watch than to just hear.
I’ve always admired all the Beatles sense of humor. It’s such a charming quality in all of them.
It helped them get their first recording contract. After George Martin told them all that was wrong with their music and their playing he asked if they had anything to say. George said, " I don't like your tie." Martin cracked up and decided to sign them.
@@JCFRFutterman Have a sense of humour and be willing to learn. Good advice!
weird how paul was great in the beatles but pretty much sucked by himself except for a few songs.
@@commentfreely5443 His chart success and popularity renders your declaration less meaningful.
AS I RECALL...Humor was a Huge part of their initial appeal....they were like RocknRoll Marx Bros.
The Beatles changed my life and millions of others back in 1964.
Paul is so delightful here. I’ve always loved the Beatles, but have not watched many interviews with him over the years. He just seems like a good guy.
He is a good guy!
Yep, he is!
the one and only billy shears.
When I wrote my comment 3 months ago I had absolutely no idea that I’d be seeing this legend live for the first time just a few months later! - in just a couple days, June 12th in Baltimore! Very excited!
@@paulmontgomery9838 thanks - I had heard something in passing about the crazy false rumor about Paul from back in the day… but never read anything about it until looking up the name from your post! It’s really quite funny and insane (at the same time) what some people will believe lol!
This man never disappoints. He is always humble and humorous. He could be so the opposite. He remains the same Paul as the one who emerged with The Beatles back in 1964.
They made it in 63, not 64.
The only thing not the same about him? guess what that is , a stack of cash that could reach the Moon! Just thought I would throw that in there
@@walcoman True, and even with all that cash he has remained basically the same down to earth guy who just really loves life and music.
@@gooddypm Here in the US it was February, 1964, and that’s when they emerged in my world. I guess if you’re English it might have been 63, or possibly late 62, or from Liverpool, even earlier. Hope that covers it for you, unless you’d like to discuss Hamburg.
@@MJLOVEnow Hamburg was 62. What is it that makes Septic Tanks think that their country is the World? They made it in the UK & Europe before the land of the gun and home of the inbred.
"Four guys from England took us all by the hand ... it was time to laugh, time to sing, and time to join the band" -- John Fogerty
There are soooo many....other famous people who just think they're above it all...Paul is just simple, really, just amazingly talented.
The Beatles were incredible musicians, writers, visionaries, and had an indefinable, off the charts charisma. But I think they projected so much camaraderie and fun as they played and smiled. That happy, togetherness was what really got to me.
I’ve been watching Paul’s interviews for a few days now. He’s so witty and engaging, just a pleasure to get to know. What a treasure!
What is your second favorite interview (after this one) pls?
@@raffriff42 his interview with Stephen Colbert and also his carpool karaoke with James Corden
@@guineveredawn Thanks. Will check them out.
After 60 years I finally got to see Paul in concert. Best birthday present ever.
Got to see him 2 times. Brilliant. What a joyful experience each time.
I saw him a few years ago in Sydney. He has still got a lot of energy for a man in his Eighties. He is a musical genius and a living treasure.
Good on You❤
I saw him in Orlando about one year ago to the day. Great concert. I had a great time.
Aw, I’m so glad you did. He’s one of the best performers the music industry ever had!
Just a few years ago, I went to a McCartney concert. He played for 3 solid hours without even taking a sip of water. He's been one of a kind all the way through.
One evening I was driving past a music venue in SF area. I heard THE most beautiful voice I had ever heard and I was driving in my car with the windows down. We had traffic so I was able to just sit there for a about 5 minutes. I was stunned at the voice. It was Paul’s voice.
I did too. He played for 3 hours, played 6 string, Bass, ( killer bassist by the way) Uke, Piano, sang great and it was pretty incredible. Filled up the Reds baseball park easily. Ive seen dozens of bands and none could top his show.
No water? BS, cap
@@dins5066 I was there, watching him. NO WATER.
@@joetaylor8687 cap
Paul's warm, friendly, wise personality and sense of humor has not changed in 60 years, the same fast clever wit that he had back in his twenties. All four of them were like that, and when they came bouncing into a room together it was like a fun bomb going off.
Paul saying "being the hit making variety" is an understatement. He will always be Sir Hits Paul McCartney to us all.
Nah, just Sir Paul McCartney
Hits are the least of his accomplishments!!!
History shows Paul was always hard-working, and he was the default Music Director of the Beatles.
And people here say he's humble? I don't see it! Even in '64, when my friends and I were only thirteen, we saw him as the snob of the Beatles. We ADORED John and George and Ringo!
I like how he paused after saying that to wait for the applause. Master showman.
February 9, 1964 was the first time the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. I remember it like it was yesterday, what a wonderful night! I still have a crush on Paul, all these years later he is still the greatest.
Compare his face in 1965 to his face in 1966. Two different men. This is Billy.
*these
@@anon5263 And you also think DEMENTIA-joe really won!
@@michaelorenstein9165 Joe Biden is an illegitimate loser, just like Billy Shears
That was the day I became a lifelong musician. Never had a straight job in my life. I'm 66 as of this writing. Thanks Paul.
Im a Lennon man myself but how can you not love this man
Saddest thing about watching videos like these is having not watched Paul and John grow old together, hopefully mended whatever troubles there were between them and have them reflect on the way they shaped pretty much all music today.
Paul kept harping on John, unfortunately, for many years. That was so sad.
They already had settled all their differences well before John died. Years before, even.
Happy 80th Birthday Paul. We were so privileged to live in the same era as you. Genius!
Wow! 80 How is life gone by so quickly 80 oh my well happy birthday to Paul boy would I love to entertain you darling you look fantastic we all love you Polly we all adore you God bless you sir and please stick around this planet for a really long time God bless you Paul Sir Paul
Yesterday was my very Favorite Song!
As he is in ours
Paul and John have given us so many wonderful songs that have become the soundtrack of our lives.
Who has ?
Beautiful way of putting it, schallrd!
And George
Paul has such a wonderful wit. very intelligent man. utterly charming.
The crazy thing is they all were very witty. I’ve been binging Beatles interviews and their response were so witty, funny and quick.
Yes I agree and a great singer and the Beatles did songs in 1966year I was born ☺️
stupid comes to mind
A true Gemini
@@jgthhcfbgyujvfr6025 the first step is admitting it. Good for you!
I saw the Ed Sullivan shows and was lucky enough to see Paul and his pals, live, on my 9th b-day.
It was Aug 1965, in Portland OR. It was unreal. Beatlemania was alive that afternoon.
They played for 37 minutes. It seemed much longer.
At the time, I thought, 'This is the best place to be in the world'
I was not wrong. Thx Paul, John, George and Ringo.
My older sister harassed my dad endlessly until he gave in and took her to see the Beatles in 1965 in Portland Or at the Memorial Coliseum
@@veekatore8983 Good for your Sis. That day, there were 2 shows, one at 4:30 and then 8pm. I went to the early show. The crowd wasn't super loud so they played a little longer. A couple more songs. It was unreal.
@@RogerPeet Thats awesome. My sister was 8 and I think she still has her tickets..
@@veekatore8983 very cool
I saw them in Atlanta August 1965 for my 10th bday 🥰. Best birthday present I ever got🎁.
I was about 8 or 9 years old when Beatlemania hit the US. You really had to live through that to understand what it was like.
I'll simply say I enjoy his music very much, and a bonus I see he is a warm human being. Thank you Paul.
My wife and I saw Paul at Fenway Park in Boston on June 7 and it was great. The crowd loved him and at one point he asked for a Beatles scream and we all gave it to him.
Great, John .. The reviewer said he was awesome and hits the high notes ..Doesn't have to lower the key..
McCartney is probably the most loved man on the Planet..
I respect him for not speaking ill of the dead and bad mouthing MJ even though there was some drama between the two of them. He was very mature and respectful while talking about it
Especially since Michael had passed away less than a month before this interview.
@@foodog777 I thought it was after, lol
We're so blessed to still have Paul be around in his big age
Paul's memory had faded a little in 2009 when this show aired. The Beatles' first appearance on the Sullivan show was in 1964. That night 73 million people watched, as he said. However, he did not play "Yesterday" that night. They played Sullivan three times in 1964. "Yesterday" was released in 1965. Still, an interview with a Beatle is an "event".
Don't forget this man was not yet in the beatles in 1964
Sir Paul ranks #1 on my all time list of pop/rock song writers.
80 years old !!!!!! GOD BLESS HIM ALWAYS. Keep On Keepin On Paul . You are loved world wide😎. GOD BLESS PAUL !!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul is so clear-headed and matter-of-fact here. He talks about that enormous fame without the slightest ego to go with it.
Well believe what you want to believe but I think his egos probably larger than a house
Of course he has an ego. And he's not so clear-headed that he recalled where he did or didn't do Yesterday
He’s been doing this so long it’s second nature to him.
He actually has a pretty big ego (how could you not?), but he's also not above poking fun at his fame, as evidenced here. He has a great sense of humour, which is key to keeping your ego in check somewhat.
He's got a massive ego. Always has. John and George used to call him "Ole Big 'ead".
Imagine waking through the door of the place that made you famous 30+ years later, after revolutionizing music and TV.
Paul has the confidence and ease that only comes with being indescribably successful and famous for 60 years.
What an elegant way to touch ANY subject by Paul. He could absolutely require the interviewer not to ask certain things, some that are not even a quarter of popular or talented as him do it. But he showed class even where it hurt the most. The Beatles are the GOATS to eternity 🙏✨️
My Dad bought us little red pocket transistor radios and I remember hearing "I want to hold your hand"🎶🎸wonderful
This makes me want to go listen to some Beatles records.
Start with 'The World Tonight'.
Do it
oh what
I probably get a regular weekly dose of Beatles. At 70 yo, I listen to My Music (Classic Rock n Roll & more) everyday. Beatles tunes will always come up.
Mach das, LG Ellen
"The long and winding road" always gets me 💕
This brings back so many wonderful memories for me. I was definitely a Beatlemaniac. I lovingly created scrapbooks of Beatles pictures, cards, articles etc. I still have (and play) my Beatles albums. And the best - I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium in August 1966 when I was 15.
How in the hell did a 14 year old Paul, meet a 16 year old John? Two music ICONS!, Then, Paul says I have a friend named George...are you kidding me? Now we have 3! The Perfect Storm. Then...along comes Ringo....and the rest is history.
The perfect storm. Well said my friend.👍🏾
musicians hang with other musicians, it isn't unusual
Except Paul was 15
They met at an annual village fete in Woolton, Liverpool. Paul was impressed by a performance of John's skiffle group The Quarrymen (his school was Quarry Bank, not far from Strawberry Fields).
@@Dan-nt2ybRory Storm and the Hurricanes! That is the band that Ringo was in before he became a Beatle.
This interview raised my respect for Sir Paul McCartney a great deal. Truly adored his multi-song concert on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theatre afterwards with the adoring crowds applauding him in awe that me and my older brother shared as we watched together on CZcams. Thank you so much for posting this CLASSIC moment!
❤YESTERDAY is my Favorite & so is PAULIE❤😅😊
I bet some days it was a Hard Day’s Night every night❤;)
Ohhhh Great 👍🏼 Pix Paul...Oh that’s such a cute imitation of Michael Jackson Paul very sweet❤
No acrimony, no lawsuits, no bad-mouthing. Just "he was a lovely man, massively talented and we miss him."
Paul is a lovely man, massively talented and I will miss him when that time comes. Unless I go first that is.
Well said.
Me too.
I don't know how to break this to you, but you and Sir Paul are going three days apart. Signed, Your Creator
@@skinovtheperineum1208 - to Albert Hall? Where are these two going at a three day apart interval?
@@rebeccaoverholser - They will depart this Earthly realm. Adjustments for different time zones still puts them at a 3 day gap.
He didn't mention that Michael Jackson whored out the Beatle music to every horrible con artist corporation commercial around while protecting his own music from the same exploitations. That's what will kill you early. As happened.
Best popular music catalog every written and composed. Sir George Martin deserves a lot of the credit.
This was laugh-out-loud funny. One of my favorite interviews with Paul.
Its great to see him looking so good. The Beatles will always be so influential to kids forever. My son is so into them . There is so much to enjoy about their music, its addictive !
This interview was in 2009! But agreed that he’s a handsome lad!
Billy has the BEST plastic surgeon his MILLIONS can buy
Look up "music" in the dictionary and you will see Paul McCartney, the man is responsible for such great music
The word legend is over used but McCartney defines the word, the world will be a much poorer place without him in it
He's still alive.
Legend? LMAO! How about all the scientists, inventors, explorers! That changed the world. Some singer is not a legend.
@@richardmiller3839 we can't deny he's a musical legend.
@@richardmiller3839 I’m sure there are scientists who listen to the Beatles and consider him a legend
@@proto-geek248 Hence, op's usage of the words 'will be'. Work on your reading comprehension.
Insanely talented songwriter and musician, and, seems like a nice guy to boot. Thanks for uploading.
Quite proud that he's from my city.
Dear Paul, ‘Yesterday’ was my favorite Beatle’s Song back in the day!! ❤😊❤
In 1964, I was seven years old, having been raised almost exclusively on my mother's opera music (she was a professional singer) and my father's love for American folk music. Dad was just back from a tour as a military advisor in Vietnam, and we watched Ed Sullivan on an old Zenith black and white television. All three of just just sat there with our mouths open unable to understand this amazing sound. I kind of liked it, but I dared not say a word... I waited until 1990 to tell my father that I liked hearing the Beatles that night.
@@ritamaid123 I do. Read my post again, slowly.
@@ritamaid123 Why are there weird, argumentative people like you on the internet...
Paul has such depth of perspectives and a super great attitude.
How so the depth? Just curious what you’re thinking
@@socrates1818 - Sorry. I don't owe you an explanation. Either you agree or you don't.
@@socrates1818 Because you have none.
I wish I could hear commentary on the JFK Airport arrival. That is such a remarkable story, The Beatles had no idea the reception was for them! They thought they were arriving at the same time as the President or the Pope. That's Why! they were looking around in stunned amazement as they descended the staircase. Interesting Trivia: Lindbergh was similarly surprised when he landed in Paris, 1927. He thought he was landing in the middle of a circus, he had no idea the Parisians were there to greet HIM! Wonderful Stories.
Yeah, "We thought the crowd's arrival was for your president."
Lyndon Johnson? Not a chance.
Very fun interview! I saw Paul at The LA Forum with Wings in the '70s, and again at the Staples Center (from a private box above the stage - thanks to BET) with his "new" band in 2002. I say "new" because I believe he was in another band in the '60s. The high point was near the start of the concert, when my wife leaned out and screamed "Paaaaaaaul!!" "His Sir-ness" looked up and saw us waving down -so he waved back and gave us his trademark thumbs up. Saw a video of the show recently - and there it is!
Easy-going guy, looks really healthy. Great work ethic, incredible talent, incredible energy - what an inspiration!
Always love that line; "it's business, it's not personal", like the mob saying as they bust a cap in the back of your head!
He's pure class.
So savvy and so cute and so cool and the whole thing is just amazingly subtle but signature cool❤
Paul McCartney was always the most diplomatic of the Beatles.
It never ceases to amaze me when these interviewers don't ask anything about the creative talent that came out of Paul's collaboration with the other Beatles. That spark of genius is so elusive for most of us that when we have one of the most talented people in history sitting there, we must ask how it was made. I guess no talent Dave forgets his place.
Crackerjack box
@Donna di Lode What actual proof do you have??
@Donna di Lode I agree. Without Paul they would never have lasted even as long as they did. Especially after 1966. The Get Back series surely shows that. He may have come off as bossy or demanding but every single thing this guy put out from 66 to the end is a masterpiece. John had great talent but Paul was the mastermind behind them.
@Donna di Lode “This Paul”?? Oh, for God’s sake. I suppose you think the moon landings were fake and the Earth is flat? 🙄
@@donnadilode8837 Bwaahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣
Paul & I are the same age. We saw him in Greensboro, NC a few years ago. He did 3-1/2 hours straight. He and his band were absolutely great. Once in a lifetime experience.
One of his many great attributes is his humility, the fame never changed the nice person that he was and is.
It’s nice to have some true first hand reflections on the Beatles
Never much paid attention until this interview to him. He seems like a real down to,earth kind of person.
Yeah yeah yeah
He is great.
Somebody may want to break it to Sir Paul that Yesterday was not released until a year after the first Ed Sullivan gig
This is a fantastic interview! Great job Dave and Maca!
Paul talks like a fan all that history and he still comes across as down to earth I just saw the roof top concert at the imax on the 30th January and it was amazing that massive screen did that concert proud the audience loved it I went again and noticed their guitar cases on the roof seeing them was brilliant
Do you have any concept of punctuation?
@@proto-geek248 Not really needed for a comment.

Paul really shined in the second half of the Beatles career. An amazing musician.
How strange.. It's almost like he was a different person from the first half?! Listen properly to this interview maybe!
@@willferris366 no. Music styles changed. Appearances changed. Life changed. Still the same Paul. I prefer the later day Beatles because their music and the rest of music became more adventurous.

Growing up listening to all the hits
And later in life actually seeing him perform I was walkin on air,
There are no words to describe it
Legend ,,
Rock on
I was in middle school in 1970, in a really nice suburb of Denver. Our social studies teacher had us 'looking for clues' as she played Abbey Road on a record player. Wish I could relive those years. Everyone loved that class.
Excellent ! I have questioned certain aspects of Paul. but He came across very witty and charming. ( If he reads this it should certainly help his confidence.) Wow, hes a musician/songwriter for all time. So glad he's still around. It still hurts to think of George & John. thank you for postin g this.
Happy 80's Birthday Paul ! You Saved This World Every Day !
"People know my history better than I do"
Yes Mr Shepard, because you weren't around in the early years when the band formed and played the Ed Sullivan show
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤I am one of thousands who have Adored Sir Paul since I was a wee girl...So in Love with 😍 him! ❤😅😊❤
He seems like quite a humble man Very talented , no doubt
I was 15 years-young in 1964, and BOY!!! Do I remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show and the British Invasion!!! One of the girls in our class took pictures (off the t.v. screen) of the Beatles that Sunday night and brought them to school the next day. Everyone was going nuts about the pictures. Well, the girls were.
Now you are a Q-Anon member and make anti-gay comments. The 60s are over, get with the times, not your trailer park's mentality.
min 11:20 C'mon now Paul! When MJ bought the Beatles catalogue in '84, Little Richard's catalogue also came with it, as an add-on collection with Specialty Records. As a gift, MJ gave Little Richard his songs back along with the millions in back-royalties that he deserved.
Wow...BLM before it was trendy!
He couldn't exploit Little Richard.
Notice how at 5.05 he picks up the cup with his RIGHT hand! For all of those that aren’t educated enough to know this, the original Paul was a strong lefty, i.e. left handed. You will struggle to find a photo of Paul holding a cup with his right hand prior to December 1966.
Clearly, this is Faul
Paul honored Dave Letterman, by performing with his band atop the studio marquee to a crowd of tens of thousands in the street. One of Macca's hottest performances! In the 1970s I owned an original 1964 Hofner Violin Bass like Paul's. Recorded lots of songs with that incredibe guitar as a session bassist & singer at Warner Brothers Studios! Knowing our producer, Dan Wallin, recorded sessions with George Harrison made our sessions extra special. We musicians were all HUGE Beatles fans.
At the time, Warner Brothers was producing the film, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton. During the many breaks in recording, while studio technicians serviced the high-precision tape recorders, we'd cruise Warner Brothers' "Back Lot", watching movies being made. It was a musician's dream! I did a little "soft shoe" on the same "New York Street" stoop Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland danced on 30 years earlier. It was a musician's dream!
@@nuwavedave That movie stalled Peter Frampton's career for 20 years.
Brilliant interview. Thanks.
Great interview! Thanks guys. 👍
McCartney's event of things change with each interview
So do my parents. They’re the same age as Paul. Do you think they’re liars?
Do you realize the INSANITY that went on for those guys in those days??? It's a miracle they came out with working brains...Everything was just all jumbled together...They barely slept, they NEVER had a day off, and it was just one big screaming blur...
When ya been lying since 1966 can ya blame ole Billy
Happy 80th Paulie and thank you for sharing your gift with us
Very gracious of him to speak so highly of MJ
Nice sarcasm. :'D
I just watched this old interview for the THIRD TIME, because Paul McCartney is THAT interesting.
5:38 - NEVER seen it before, but I love that photo!
With all five of them in there and of course ‘Uncle Ed’!
The microphone; the camera angle; the curtains… GREAT PIC 👍
I laughed like a crazy person when Paul told Letterman that he didn't like the show.
