I was in the audience for this...Paul signed my Pipes of Peace album🙌✌️❤️ My manager was Doc Sevrensen's manager as well, so we got to go backstage before and after the show. Paul pulled up with a Black Corvette, and parked right next to Johnny's car. Mike Brislane, Mark Savalle and I were just hanging around, so when he came up he said Hello Mates.. All I could say was Hi Paul... Great Moment

Too bad Carson couldn't tell him that people would be just as crazy for him in 37 more years. Saw him do a 3hr 15min show in 2015 at age 73. Never took a break and was strong the whole way through---and the fans were just as enthusiastic then as they were in '84. Music talent doesn't get bigger than this.

I was sure that when Johnny asked Paul about his typical day that Paul would responded “I get up, get out of bed, drag a comb across my head”.

I saw him last year in New Orleans. Best night of my life! Macca and the band were perfect and didn't miss a beat. An amazing and entertaining light show, and the best stage mix I've ever heard. It was pleasantly loud, but without being obnoxiously loud like every other concert I've been too. And the craziest part is I don't think he took a break until the encore at the very end. I am so grateful (and lucky) to have seen him at least once in my life and I hope any and all other Beatle/Paul fans that love him and his music like I do get to treat themselves as well. He is on fire right now, we are so lucky

There is a definite tension in the air in this interview. Johnny is trying to be folksy and personable with Paul, but Paul more or less blows off the Ed Sullivan story, he blows off the typical day question and then he jabs Johnny with a "your show flopped in Britain" jab. There is no developed dialog here and no feeling that Paul wants to be chummy. I just felt what you and your friend felt nearly 40 years ago.

I finally got to see Paul Live when he stopped in a town near me back in 2022 on his Got Back Tour. He totally rocked it. I'm so glad I got to see him. This man is a rock legend, and my favorite Beatle.

He actually did break out the guitar at the end of the show. Not shown in this clip. Played You Are My Sunshine.

I have this whole thing on a VHS tape.

Put it on YT since so much of it was cut off here.

Johnny is my favorite was my favorite and will always be my favorite

There will never be two people in show business that have left an impact on the world as great as that of Paul McCartney and Johnny Carson. I had to stop and think which name I would write first... you know what. I don't think it matters. At 67 years old, I am proud to say, I was young when these two gentlemen were prime time.

I still have a couple of Beatle albums to this day! Paul was my favorite, so cute!! ❤️❤️

Who would throw them away? I still have them all.

Great show ❤

My two faves😍😍

I saw the Beatles' first U.S. TV appearance, on the Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9, 1964, in the Enlisted Men's Club at Fort Riley, Kansas. Will never forget it.

What a great , knowledgeable and witty host Johnny Carson was. what you saw was what you got. And he really made a huge effort to see that his guests really shone, and was totally focussed on them. Ultimate respect to this great Man.

awesomeness!

It's so nice to see gentlemen in action.

This channel should have more than 424000 subs.

Astonishing to see how the audience reacts to McCartney. His first meeting with Johnny. He and John had previously appeared on the Tonight Show. Sadly, Joey Granola was hosting and it was possibly the worst interview they ever had to endure. They were polite beyond belief, though. I think they were remiss in not telling them Johnny wasn't there. Johnny seemed uncomfortable in this clip for some reason. Perhaps he was put off by Paul's demeanor towards him. Paul has always been gracious when asked about The Beatles' success but here it is, 2020, and he and the group are recognized as having changed the world. In music, fashion and culture, they have had the biggest impact. Their songs continue attracting new fans and will for decades to come.

James, anyone viewing the clips know that Joe was the host that night, Captain Obvious. BTW Tell us how Johnny was "put off" by Paul, you seem to see things that aren't there.

@@tw364 My point was that Paul and John didn't know Joe was subbing that night for Johnny until they got to the studio. As for my viewing Johnny's demeanor? I watched Carson for thirty years and could sense when he was uncomfortable. Only my opinion, of course. No worries.

I'm sure that even Johnny got star-struck sometimes!

I agree the interview was a bit stilted. Johnny was trying to be personable and Paul was looking like the promo tour was coming to an end as well as doing the cheeky Beatle thing in interviews. For some reason, Paul was cool towards the Ed Sullivan story, and you could feel a bit of static forming between them. Thank God for the audience. Without that, there would have been no levity in this interview, especially when Paul locked horns with Johnny with the "your show flopped in Britain" jab. Maybe he still had a chip on his shoulder from when Johnny blew John and him off back in the 60s!

What can I say- Legends know Legends😏

Love you Sir Paul ❤

Its funny that Johnny asks about..."are there any questions you get tired of after all these years?"....meanwhile, he's been answering those questions STILL...37 YEARS AFTER THIS INTERVIEW!!!

IKR?! I feel kind of bad for Paul sometimes. He probably gets tired of repeating the same stuff over & over!

I don’t know how Paul has handled immense fame for the last 60+ years. I’d go absolutely insane after five years.
