first trivia question.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, I can't find it.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
We'll dig that up. He's basically giving us three songs
and asking what is the commonality?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yes, and this time, what's the common link with these
songs Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson. Familiar with that title.

Speaker 1 (06:01):

What's the asking? What is the connection?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, what's what's the commonality? What's the common link?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
The common link in those three? And I can't remember
off the top of my head what we read it
to everybody at some point.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's on the it's on the.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's where are we with Last week? Last week was
Facebook Live. Yes, we might have talked about it on
Facebook Live last week.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So it's on it.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's somewhere, it's somewhere. Jeffrey emailed. He says, how Jeffrey here,
It's beautiful. Oh and Jeffrey has joined Facebook. So if
you get a friend request from somebody named Jeffrey, go ahead,
and friend him. He says, it is beautiful here at
the moment. I get a new bedroom in September, that

(07:20):
will be great. Did you all have faun do We
did have fondue back in the seventies. I like it
because of the cheese. Now I think, yeah, we did
have cheese fondu, but I never ate. I wasn't a
cheese eater. But we also had chocolate fondu, and I
would eat the chocolate fond he says. I dore cheese,

(07:42):
blue cheese especially. I hate blue cheese, so definitely not meat.
But I like red and green and purple cheese as
well as black lemon cheese. Have you ever heard of
black lemon cheese? Nope, I had never heard of black
lemon cheese either, so Jeffrey. But yeah. And then here
in the United States, what's that those restaurants that popped

(08:06):
up that just do fondue. Melting Pot, Melting Pot. We
have a restaurants here in the US called the Melting Pot,
and you go in and it's fondue for you, like,
get a big table of people and they bring out
a bunch of different fondues.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, there was one in the city down in Bricktown.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Is it not there anymore?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I don't know. But when I went, and I've only
been once and this was years ago, they didn't have
a male and female bathroom.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
You had to both use the same at the same time.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh really, Yeah, that was weird. I had to pee
really bad. I'm like, I can't pee if it's gonna
be a woman, Sure as heck. I'm stand there peeing.
Lady walks in.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It was a melting pot.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, that we we think they get rid. I think
they made them change that.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
We went to that one in Bricktown once and it
was years and years and years ago, so I don't
know if it's still there. I don't know. I do
it's new. And then the gal from Zimbabwe way, she says,
I found, oh, but not that great quality. It looks
like I'm watching it out the window with the sun

(09:10):
shining in. I was able to find it on YouTube.
Oh well, it's too bad because I'd probably enjoy it
better if it wasn't funky looking. And then she sent
me a link to it. So if anybody wants to watch,
let me know and I'll forward the link to you,
or just go to YouTube and type in yeah, just

(09:35):
do that and you'll find it.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And then.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Julie Lowell was a wow ski Her comment was from
Bushet Radio, So I'll talk about that. And then we
got Glenn Stewart emailed Hi Glenn, and Glenn says, so
listen to this. We'll have to decide. My name is
Glenn Stewart, author of Colombo Explains the Seventies, a TV

(10:04):
Cops pop culture Journey. The book examines the connection of
the show and the character to issues and concerns of
the seventies decade. And then another paragraph blah blah blah.
He says, I was wondering if you might be interested
in discussing this seminal TV figure and there's a relationship
with the seventies. If so, please get in touch. I
look forward to hearing from you.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh, like put him on the Podcastyeah, so.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Get him on the podcast and interview him about his book.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh that'll be cool.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I mean that might be super interesting. Yeah, because we've
never done like a full episode of just Colombo.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, I don't know why. Sound is the studios being
a little wonky?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Hello Hello, Okay, So so anyway, yeah, Glenn, if you're listening,
we would be interested so I will get a hold
of you and we will set up a time. But
if you guys want to read his book column explains
the seventies, a TV Cops pop culture journey. It is
with Bonaventure Press. Came out March of twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Five, brand new.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, so we will, uh, we'll probably try to get
him on the show. And I won with the answer. Oh,
the Jeff Thomas that won the T shirt Oh yeah
last week was not the Jeff Thomas from Enid. Oh
it's actually a Jeff Thomas from Georgia.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh no, wonders. Wasn't it at Callaheads because he's in Georgia.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, so Jeff, we will be getting that T shirt
to ye. So anyway, and I think that was it.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Okay, cool.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
I think we got everybody took care of well far out.
Let me check and see if we got a Christopher
Todd on Buzzhead Radio. Is he Answerdia.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I hadn't seen it yet, but he did. He did
comment just the end the day on Facebook that he
he's on the show every Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
So he should should be unless something weird has come up.
But anyway, Yeah, so the reason for tonight's shit is
Paul McCartney is touring again.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
He's kind of one of those artists that's retired and
it's his last tour for like I don't know how
many times honestly.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well he's eighty two now, so he's eighty two.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
But anyway, he is touring in and he is coming
to Oklahoma. He's coming to Tulsa at the Bok Center.
So I thought, do I want to get tickets to
Paul McCartney expensive? Today was the day, so I went ahead, laugh,
I don't know. Over the weekend I registered so so

(12:56):
people that were are his fans on his website got
pre sale tickets today. People that are not part of
that get tickets on Thursday. And I can tell you
there won't be any tickets on Thursday. So if you're
listening waiting until Thursday, well they might be a few,
but they're going to be mighty expensive. Yes, So anyway,

(13:19):
so I got on today. Well, first, real quick, when
a Foreigner came to Ena a couple of year or
two ago, and I went and took pictures. There was
not one original member of Foreigner with them, but they
were still touring as foreigner. And then now you know,
there's Kansas came and there was only one member of Kansas's.

(13:43):
So basically, if you go see Paul McCartney, technically, aren't
you really going to see the Beatles?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Why because I don't think he does Beetles stuff, maybe
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
All he's got do is one song and you're going
to see the Beatles. Well, I guess, I mean, I
just I mean, if I'm going to see Foreigner and
there's not one yea Foreigner member in the band, but
I'm going to see Paul McCartney, then I'm really going
to see the Beatles.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I guess. I guess you could go up. It was
so did you get tickets?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, here's what happened. So, so you know he's touring
like I don't know however many cities and so to
sign up you had to give him your email and
all that stuff, and they said, we will send you
a link an hour before the tickets go on sale,
and I don't know. I just signed up, but I

(14:36):
guess I don't know. Somehow I think I got signed
up for the concert in California. So ten o'clock came
and I was getting ready and before I hopped in
the shower, I checked my phone and there was no text,
and I thought, oh huh, And so I took shower,

(14:57):
went in eight and then at a eleven I don't
know anyway, Then I finally got a text and it
said you have an hour and then the tickets are
going to go on sale. And so I made it
back home, and luckily I clicked on it early. And

(15:17):
when I clicked on it and went in, it was
showing me the concert tickets for California. Wow, And I thought,
I don't want tickets to California. I don't want to
go to California. So I got into ticket Master and
I found the link to tickets for Oklahoma City. Well,
I was two hours late, so they'd been on sale
for two hours already because they had sent me the

(15:39):
link for California and not the link for Lahoma. So anyway,
so I went ahead and and you had this special code.
So I clicked on it, and I was telling myself,
how bad do I want to go see the Beatles?
So I thought, okay, if the tickets are under three
hundred dollars, i'll I'll consider it. But again, but now

(16:02):
you're talking, it's a two hour drive to Tulsa on
a Wednesday night. Then he's got a lot of songs,
so he's probably gonna be playing late. And then it's
two hours back on a Wednesday night because Denise's got
to work on Thursday and so she would have to
be back. So I got in and there was there

(16:24):
were very few tickets under three hundred dollars, but there
actually were a couple way up the nose beat. Yeah. No,
actually the two hundred they were like there was like
one ticket that was two hundred and ten, but there
was like some that were like two hundred and thirty six,
and they were like kind of behind the stage, you
know how, like you know how like they open up

(16:45):
the sections that are right right beside the stage and
almost one section behind it. A couple of those had
a few two hundred dollars tickets. The nosebleed tickets in
the back were three hundred. I mean not even three hundred.
But so I ended up I picked two tickets and

(17:05):
it shows the price with the fees already on, so
they were it was like three hundred and twenty five
dollars a ticket, so it was about three point fifty
three sixty. So I had it in my shopping cart,
and you know, the total was like six hundred and
seventy eight dollars or something. So I was just sitting
there thinking, do I want to push this by? And

(17:27):
I thought I could buy them and then sell them
and make money on them. But I thought, you know,
why why go through the hassle. So I I canceled
it and got out, and then about an hour later
I started thinking again. Well, I thought I'm gonna I'm
going to jump back in there and see if weirdly,

(17:47):
maybe somebody canceled their cheaper ticke because I heard there
was like a row of like thirty eight dollars tickets
at some of the concerts, but there was like is
like twelve tickets, so you had to be like the
first person in to get crap. Yeah, And so I thought, well,
I'm gonna hop back in and see if there's some
weird really low tickets. Well I got back in and

(18:09):
I found some that were like maybe fifteen dollars a
ticket cheaper. So I put them in my car and
it was still like six hundred and fifty dollars, and
I thought, you know, if it was on a weekend, yeah,
you know, and we were going to stay all weekend.
I might have, but then I was like, you know,
it's nosebleed, you're barely gonna be able to see him.

(18:31):
So I didn't. So no, I did not get tickets.
I could have. I heard a lot of people complaining that.
The funny thing was the people that got in on
the queue that was like it said, you're like number
twenty thousand and thirty out of fifty thousand, you know,
I mean, people were like in the queue for like
an hour and a half, and when I got in

(18:52):
two hours later, I literally got straight in. There was
no queue. There was nobody in front of me. So
even though and I don't think, I mean, the tickets
were the tickets, So so I'm kind of glad I
didn't get in at ten and sit and wait for
an hour and a half to find out the tickets
were three hundred and fifty oh and then and then
all the tickets down at the floor were you know,

(19:14):
thousands and fifteen hundred and yeah, so ridiculous prices. Anyway, anyway,
that's so that so I thought, well, we haven't done
a Paul McCartney episode, so let's do it. In case
I got tickets. I thought, well, that'll be cool, but no,
I did not get tickets.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
So yeah, yeah, I stio its from my blood.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, I mean you know, I could have credit carded it,
but I thought, yeah, I'd rather spend six hundred and
fifty dollars helping Christopher Todd get a vinyl album.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Then there you go. How much does it cost to
get it by low?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I don't know. We got a good price. I
don't know. We'll have to see. Okay, so this this
is an episode about the be Antles.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
No, it's about no Paul McCartney, James Paul McCartney.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Well, actually January, February, March April. Actually we could talk
about the Beatles for four months.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I don't want to talk about the Beatles for four months.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, the Beatles officially disbanded on April tenth, nineteen seventy.
And if you're a Paul McCartney fan, that's actually a
very good thing. Oh yeah, because honestly, I mean, if
if you tied me up and asked me, honestly, I
like Wings better than I'd.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Do the Beatles. Oh yeah, I totally agree. I mean,
and they were totally seventies. Yeah, they were totally seventies.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I mean, the Beatles were great, but I love Wings.
I mean I've got Wing albums. I don't have any
Beatles albums except for my mom's. Yeah I don't either,
so anyway, and then Paul McCartney basically the same time,
announced that he was departing from the band and had
his own album and it was called McCartney and the

(20:56):
basically the seventies. The rest is history. And so Paul
McCartney is the opposite of the Beach Boys when it
comes to the seventies.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, he had.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
He had a very good decade, Yes he did. Now, again,
the Beatles were very successful in the sixties as the
sixties zo and he did some so so stuff in
the eighties with like Michael Jackson and stuff. But Paul
McCartney was at his prime in the seventies. And what
is that, mister Wheeler, because that was the greatest decade,

(21:28):
not the man, Yes it was, and yes he was.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
It was all that was funny. Their last concert was
on December twenty eight, nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's just he started now.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Said he broke up right at the beginning of the
seventies and finished.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, the two days into the before nineteen.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Eighty that's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Or three days, I guess three days.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
So in the seventies he had twelve albums, five tours,
one hundred and thirty seven gigs, and one new band.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, and the same wife do the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
When did she die?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I saw that eighth Was that that long?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I think it was in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
I couldn't remember. But and she had cancer anything, I
think so.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, I'm Linda Eastman. She was part of the Kodak
Eastman clan.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, and she was a photographer. I hadn't really realized
how they met. And they met because she was a
band photographer. She went on tour and took pictures of bands,
and she was taking the pictures of the Beatles one
night and she was actually there with a date and
jumped her date to go talk to Paul and the

(22:48):
rest is history.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Sorry, honey, I'm gonna go talk to this Beatle guy
over here. Sorry.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah. So anyway, so there's a really cool if you
go to Paul McCartney dot com. Every decade they've got
every decade's got its own page and it lists basically
the highlights, and that's kind of a lot of the
information I got. It lists each album and each single
that he put out by year, and then I've got

(23:15):
extra facts and stuff at the end.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
But let's start out with the earliest.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Earliest, nineteen seventy. It was uh and I didn't even
really realize it was a Paul McCartney album. I guess
I've never I know one song, but other than that,
I didn't know. I couldn't have told you where Baby
I'm a Mace came from.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
It came from McCartney.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I mean, this is nineteen seventy.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I thought it was much flater.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
I did too. Maybe I'm afraid of the weld of you, maybe.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
You stopping. Well, they redid it, they did a.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, he had the best of and greatest hits and
that's what we heard. Yeah, it's a good song.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Huh. Crazy this album.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
He performed all the instruments and vocals himself, YEP, and
Linda helped him on the backing vocals. His quote was,
the McCartney album was good fun because I got a
machine from E M. I only a four truck track,
and I just had it in my living room where

(24:49):
I lived in London at the time. I just go
in for day, go into a little bit of stuff
and make something up and knock it off, knock off
in the evenings. It was very interesting to do and
had a certain kind of rawness because I was breaking
loose after the Beatles. We all got a feeling of that,
I think, so yeah, yeah, yeah, that was really it

(25:10):
for nineteen seventy. Moved on to seventy one and his
first single, solo single was called Another Day.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I didn't get that one.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Recorded through RAM album sessions. It reached number two in
the UK Singles Chart and number five in the US
Billboard Hot one hundred.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I did get this little ditty off of this is
off the rim level I would.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
I don't know why I thought this was Beatles. I
think my whole life I thought this was Beatles.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, I agree, we.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Is so sorry. Uncloud Left Home.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Is off the RAM album that came That album came
out in May of seventy one.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
For each number one in the UK, top ten in
the US for five months.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, very good song. All these songs are good. Now
there's a lot of songs that I don't remember. I
oh yeah, yeah, not a lot but or something. He
just had so many songs.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Let's see what he said about that Ram album. When
we got we went to Scotland. We had a very free,
sort of hippie lifestyle. It meant I could sit around
the kitchen in the little farmhouse we lived in, the
kids running around me and just me with my guitar,
making up anything I fancied. And that's what he made up.

(26:52):
And then in July of seventy one they decided to
form Wings and.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
The Denny's came.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I didn't know what both those guys were named, Dinny.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I didn't either. Denny Lane and Denny I'm.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Not sure, said that sea Will Seawell, I will, I
Will Seawell is probably Seawell Seawell yep.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
And so basically they went to work on on Wings.
Did you know why he chose Wings as the name
of the band.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
I didn't either.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Basically, Linda was pregnant and having their child, and she
was having a difficult childbirth with their daughter Stella, and
Paul was praying and he felt the image of Wings
came to him during this time, inspiring the band's name.
The name was meant to be a memorable and catchy
frey similar to the Beatles. Oh and I think it.

(27:51):
I that was a great name. Yeah, yep. So Uncle
Albert was a single released by Paul and Linda, only
released in the US. I went to number one on
the US Billboard Hot one hundred. And then The Backseat
of My Car was another single in seventy one, the
closing track on RAM and it was only released in

(28:13):
the UK. And that's why I don't really remember.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I don't either I didn't and I didn't play it,
or I didn't download it. Upload it, yeah, download it.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
And so the first Wings album was Wildlife.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
See What's I see? What was the first one on
going to Wildlife?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Mambo is that you? I got mumbo on your day?
Mumbo Mumbo mamba? Where'd you go? Are you here?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Says taking just two weeks. Wildlife was about spontaneity. The
opening track Mumbo was recorded in one take.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
No song.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
I did not recognize.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
It's a good song.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
I don't know why what they call it? Mumbo? You know,
I do not know.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's a pretty good song. Well, and then we move
on to nineteen seventy two, the Wings University Tour, Ah
in seventy two, Paul went on tour for the first
time since the Beatles Grueling US leg in sixty six.
For Paul, it was a way of darting a fresh
connecting with a new set of fans and going back
to basics. They were basically driving around doing impromptu gigs

(30:10):
and I think they were following a sign and it
said ash By de la Zouch and they liked the name,
so they turned off and when they got there there
was a little village but nowhere to play. But there
was a university down the road called Nottingham University, and
that's they got the wild idea to just start playing universities,

(30:32):
and so that's what they did.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
What was what album was mary Head Little lamb On?
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
It was a single, Oh that's right. It was a
non album single by Wings.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
And it was banned by the BBC.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
No Wings performed the song on Top of the Pops
in the UK.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
I put in the wrong song, hang on, that's not
Marriyhead little lamp. That's high high High that one that one, yeah,
got banned. And I actually heard this on the radio
the other day. Oh really, because you know, on serious
exam they have the uh they played the old on
the Top forties and that one just happened to be

(31:20):
the Week of seventy one A good oh wow. But
that's the first time I'd ever heard it. I never
I don't remember it. Yeah, I don't remember it either,
but I remember listening to the cargoing. Wow, that's pretty cool.
It was just this weekend.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Now. They released a single right before that, one called
give Ireland Back to the Irish.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yeah. I saw that, I didn't, and that got.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Banned because it was right after the Bloody Sunday shooting
and it was kind of their song, kind of saying
give Ireland Back to the Irish, and so the UK
of course banned. And then they went on the Wings
Over Europe tour the summer of seventy two was undertaken.

(32:10):
Brightly colored double decker bus is what they traveled, and McCartney,
the McCartney's decided to take their children with them, which
was kind of cool. And the whole crew on a
double decker bus.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, you'd think you'd be turning something. I guess that
was cool.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I mean, but in the seven yeah, in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
I mean, and he had beatle money I mean it
wasn't like he didn't have any money.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, there's probably a pretty cool bus.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, I saw pictures of it. There's small let's see.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
The McCartney children joke about it now saying they were
hippie commune kids. But it was great for us, and
I think it was great for them, and this is Paul.
It meant that we didn't have to worry about them
because they were right there with us, and we figured,
if you want to know geography, actually going to all
these places is helpful. It was part of their education.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
So I guess I got home schooled or but schooled
school basically.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
And then that then came High High High.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
A single. This got based by the BBC.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
It did reach number five in the u kh arts.
It's spelled h I h I h I.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, I don't look at be wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Hi Hi.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Paul liked the smoke dope.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
Yeah, I does say we're gonna get High High High,
So yeah, I guess, yeah, that's a good song.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Yeah man, he had some good songs, uh oh, Paul.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Then we get into nineteen seventy three, the single My
Love premiered and the seventy two University tour during the
band's show at the University of Nottingham when I first
number one single.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
I Do My Can Stay with Mine. See, I didn't think.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I thought it was later than seventy three.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I would have guessed too. I think it's because we
heard the best of his best of albums so popular
later that.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Well that's what's a little bit weird for me is
even though I super duper love Wings now, I didn't
really listen to Wings that much in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
I did after Band on the Run, after that album
came out. Oh, I meant to looks he was on
that cover.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Of Band on the Run. Yeah, I used to know
I had in later years.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah was My Love.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
And then next album, well, first they did a James
Paul McCartney TV special and then came Red Rose Speedway
the next album, and they added Irish guitarist Henry McCullough.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
My Love was on Red Rose Speedway album. I think yes.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
The album did, however, include the global hit in My Love,
a song that's since been covered by the likes of
Sheer Corn, Bailey Ray and Brenda Lee. He says of
that song, I'm very proud of my love. This was
early days for me and Linda, so it's a love
song to her.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Really.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
One of the things I was proud of, funnily enough,
was that it charted and sort of did very well. Yeah,
reach number one, dude.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
And then Wings British Tour came along and in support
of that, he did the soundtrack for the James Bond movie.
One of my favorite songs by Wings.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
What a song this was.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
This was nominated for an oscar and it nominated two Grammy.
You know you did you know?

Speaker 3 (36:42):
You?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Did?

Speaker 3 (36:43):
You know? You did?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
The song's better than a movie.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, I can't remember, which makes what the what?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
The Bond movie was about? Living that day?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Now, it would be kind of cool to be at
the concert and hear him play this song. Yeah yeah,
I mean no matter where you are in the in
the venue, this song you're gonna hear everywhere. Yeah yeah.

(37:27):
In May Live and Let Die uh single, Paul was
asked by producers to write the theme to the new
James Mom movie, and that's what he wrote. Paul recently
received a BMP Citation of Achievement for eight million broadcast
performances of Live and Let Die.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
He's like the they I saw he's like the richest
songwriter and he's.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Like almost one billion dollars. Yeah, and then I don't
remember this song. But then the next single was Helen Wheels.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah, I didn't. I don't remember that. I didn't download it.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
It was a name of Paul and Linda's land rover.
The single was released ahead of the Band on the
Run album, but only appeared on the US version of
the album. Speak Well, I guess I know what the
song is because I've had the album.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
So speaking of band on.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
And when he says band, it's not referring to their band,
it's referring to a band or a group of people.
But why why recorded in Nigeria?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I saw that, No weird. They recorded all kinds of places.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
It topped the US charts three separate times, Grammy teventy
four one and twenty four weeks.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
On the charts.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Jeez ever, sy agack you.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I like the way his songs the tempo would go
from one thing to yeah, something completely different.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Like this right here?

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Oh yeah, alright, you work.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Quick, okay on to seventy four. Next single was jet.
It was the lead single from Band on the Run,
released on Capitol.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Bound by.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Oh my liver is hurting.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
No, m M. Junior to be Married.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
A pretty cool and then ended seventy four with two
more singles. There was Junior's Farm, which I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
What that is.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Oh, you've not heard that one.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I don't. I may have. There was a non album
single released in seventy four. Oh yeah, I think I do.
Oh yeah, I just wouldn't have known. That was the
name of the song.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Uh, the serious hit Sam. They played it pretty often.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Yeah, yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Played quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
I never heard it was called Junior's Farm.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
I was stunking. Do the mask a moon snow go
that mask go that?

Speaker 1 (41:55):
That was almost a Steve Miller sound there. Yeah, I'm
let's say Steve Miller probably borrowed some of Paul's sound there.
And then the last single was Missus Vanderbilt. It was
a single in continental Europe. It appears on the album
Band on the Run. Then we move on to nineteen
seventy five. Listen to what the man said was a

(42:19):
single taken from the album Venus and Moors sold over
million copies.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
Any time any day you can hear.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
The people, he said, I'll try to single.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
They're so good dang, don't know.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
But I say, I'm glad that my my concert tickets
didn't go and sell tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
I'd probably buy him after this episode.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
He's behind the tragic world, but he won't mind. He's
in love and he said love.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Come on, trying to get to that the title. Alright,
well you know that's what listening to Man said.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
And then the album came out. Venus and Mars was
the first of two albums to feature what many regard
as the perfect Wings lineup, basically all of the people
that were in the band at that time. Recording was
done in New Orleans and Los Angeles, and then another single,
letting It Go?

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Where is it?

Speaker 3 (43:57):
Oh Man?

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I forgot the download it.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
It was released in seventy five. Wings performed the track
live the following year on the Wings Over America tour,
and then we get into the Wings over the World tour.
Basically what.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I don't I was just I was just getting reculped.
Next one, I forgot it.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, I'll get it, let's see. They played twenty one cities,
performed thirty four shows in front of an estimated six
hundred thousand people. Then there was the Venus and Mars
rock Show single. Venus and Mars and rock Show were
the first two tracks on Wings Venus and Mars album.

(44:44):
A medley of the songs was released as a single
in seventy five, with the intention that this mix would
open their live shows.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Okay that like, oh these lists, I got over it
all these yeah, I got so many, got so much stuff. Okay,
uh do we already do we already mentioned letting go?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Or did we?

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Which one? Which one?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Letting Go?

Speaker 1 (45:13):
I don't think show? Oh yeah, yeah we did. Okay,
are you playing it?

Speaker 5 (45:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Oh, if you're not, no, let's move on to We
kind of need to move one. Seventy six, The next
album was At the Speed of Sound single Silly Love
Songs That What I Got Man, I always thought this

(45:45):
was so interesting when it first came out, But there's
another one of those songs. It just he got one
sound here and then all of a sudden, tempo changes
and he's over here. Spent five consecutive weeks at number one.

(46:07):
This song shoots me back to the seventies.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
I see it is so some people.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
So yep, yep, yep. Whats song he'd like to know?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Somebody tell you.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Then they released let him in as a single.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
The song references a number of celebrities as well as
members of Paul's family. Paul has since said that when
he met his now wife Nancy, he was surprised to
find the lyrics coincidentally referenced her family too, as she
has a sister Susie and brother John.

Speaker 8 (46:56):
Yeah, Bazaar, open the Door, movie, someone knocking at doll,

(47:29):
somebodying in the Velt.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Was knocking at doll.

Speaker 8 (47:35):
Somebody's ring and a velt do me a favor.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
A doll.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
And then we in nineteen seventy six with Wings over America,
selected from ninety hours of recordings. It was taped at
several of the US shows, but mixed as if it
were a single performance. So then we go to seventy seven,
they released Baby I'm Amazed Live. And then came the

(48:08):
next album called Thrillington. Yeah, that must have been a
The Mysterious Thrillington was an instrumental cover version of Wing
seventy one album Ram recorded that same year at Abbey
Roads Studio.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
So it's just all musicals, all.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
I guess. So yeah, And then mall of Kintire was
a single released. It was kind of a transitional period,
so that was kind of seventy Yeah, seventy seven, not
a whole lot going on. Then we get to seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
I got the small of Kari.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
This sounds like older, yeah, from let's see, it was
a Christmas number one single in the UK.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
It must meet something them over there. I think, know
what a mall is? And I guess Ken Tires of
Town or something.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Depp get Dad got God, God, dam.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
You're no help, I do know.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Yep. So then we move on to seventy eight. They
released another single with a little Luck. What a great song,
What a great song.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
God, this is a good song.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
And again I'm back in the seventies, up in my room.
Listen to the radio right now, little buck, he can
help it out.

Speaker 9 (49:41):
You can make this whole damn thing work out with
a little we.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Can lay it down. Did you be looked down?

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Exploded?

Speaker 3 (50:07):
It was.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
With a little luck, little luck, a little look.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Next album was London Town. It was the seventh album
by Wings. They had a little bit of a lineup
change Linda's pregnancy with James, so anyway, and then they
released the single I've Had Enough, taken from the Wings

(50:35):
album London Town, released in seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I didn't get that one. Another one no.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Title track was London Town.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Oh I didn't. I didn't with a little lucks only
when I got from London Town Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
And then then came out one of the best albums
ever was Ring's Greatest, first official retrospective of Paul's post
b Atoll's career. And then came seventy nine. They released
a single good Night Tonight. It was a non album single, you.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Can Tell He's changing.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, he's getting a little funky. Seventy nine. See, I
still think seventy nine almost belongs in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yeah, yes, I totally agree.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
There's a full seven minute extended mix that was released
on a twelve inch single of this song, Don't let Yeah,
that's definitely a different difference.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Let's gold up.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Then they released another single, Old Siam Sir. He was
released on the A side in the UK and the US.
The track formed the B side of Arrow Through Me Instead,
and then the next album was Back to the Egg.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
This is It couldn't have done the worst.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Vaguely remember the song.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
I don't think I remember it.

Speaker 9 (52:49):
The worst Blind when it came under your blind.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Yeah, then they released getting Closer as a single.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
And that uh.

Speaker 9 (53:09):
My Salamander, my Salamander, Why, oh no, no, that's oh no,
I'm good Closer, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Getting Closer, And basically we end the decade with uh,
Wonderful Christmas Time. It's a good Christmas song.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Yeah, it's one of my favorite ones.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Yeah, and if you had asked me, I would have
definitely said it wasn't from the seventies.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah, it was barely November.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Number Christmas Time.

Speaker 7 (54:16):
Christmas Time.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Basically ended with the Wings British tour and another concert
and then they were done. Yeah, a concert for the
people of camp camp Campuci, Campuchi, Campuocha Campucha. Yeah. And
then yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
And that was their last last song, the last concert.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
I found a website called Ultimate Classic Rock dot com
and they ranked all of Paul McCartney's songs in the seventies.
So I think it's a really good list. So I'm
gonna do real quick number ten, My Love number nine,
Uncle Albert, number eight, with a Little Luck, Umber seven,

(55:00):
Silly Love Songs number six. Now I wouldn't have done
in this order, but Livin Let Die number five, Every Night,
number four, Jet number three Juniors Form, number two Band
on the Run and number one Baby I'm Amazed. Yeah,
so I mean that's gole Lee. That's a list of songs.

(55:22):
Man Man Paul McCartney has consistently been ranked at or
near the top lists of the best bass players ever.
He was voted best rock Bassist in Cream's nineteen seventy
three and seventy four Reader Pole results, and the third
best rock bassist in its seventy five and seventy seven
Reader Poles. Even though we could play basically every instrument

(55:44):
we could, you consider him a bass player because he
played bass with the Beatles.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Yeah, left handed, left handed. If he played the piano
left handed.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
You know, I didn't realize he'd played the drums on
back in the ussr Oh.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
I didn't either.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
He was reprimanding Ringo. Rigo got pissed and left and
so he played drums, and then Ringo came back and
they made up and continued on.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
So in the recording, it's Paul Yeah, oh wow, yep,
how funny yep.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
McCartney is known for his belting power, versatility, and wide
tenor vocal range spanning over four octaves. He was ranked
the eleventh Greatest Singer of All Time by Rolling Stone.
I Since seventy five, McCartney has been a vegetarian. He
and his wife Linda were vegetarians for most of their
twenty nine year marriage. They decided to stop consuming meat

(56:42):
after Paul saw lambs in a field as they were
eating a meal of lamb, and then they became outspoken
animal rights activists.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Wellow, oh, good for you.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
April twenty four, seventy six, McCartney and Linden Lennon, Now
they didn't like hang much, but I guess every now
and then they would kind of hang together. But on
April twenty fourth, nineteen seventy six, McCartney and Lennon were
watching an episode of Saturday Night Live at Lennon's home

(57:17):
in the Dakota when Lorne Michaels made a three thousand
dollars cash offer for the Beatles to reunite.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
I saw it.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
I remember that while they seriously considered going to SNL
studio like right then, I mean they literally wanted to
like run over to the studio, they decided that it
was too late and they probably wouldn't make it, And
that was their last time that they were ever together. Oh, Yeah,
pretty wild, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Dang, wouldn't that Wouldn't that be crazy if they just
popped in and showed up? Yeah, I mean wish they
were closer to the set, but yeah, LORDE Michael should
have said that at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Of the show, exactly three thousand dollars. What kind of
an offer is that?

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Well, I don't think and had a lot of money
back in.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
McCartney and Starr collaborated on several post Beatle projects, starting
in seventy three, when McCartney contributed instrumentation and backing vocals
for six o'clock, a song McCartney wrote for Starr's album Ringo,
and then McCartney was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and eighty eight as a member of

(58:23):
the Beatles, and again as a solo artist in ninety
nine twice. In seventy nine, Guinness Book of World Records
recognized McCartney as the most honored composer and performer in music,
with sixty Gold discs, forty three with the Beatles, seventeen
with Wings and as a member of the Beatles, sales

(58:43):
of over one million singles, one hundred million albums, and
as the most successful songwriter. He wrote jointly or solo
forty three songs which sold over one million or more
records between sixty two and seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Now it was just a seventy eight Yeah, din't count
all the stuff he did eighties and stuff.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Yeah. The dude is a musician. There is no question,
no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
He's a musician, genius, musical genius.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
