Lived few doors down, they often walked to school together......as EVERYBODY walked to school then, she said....(expt. farm kids way out of town had a school bus). I've got all her old high school yearbooks, Johnny was kind of like the page-by-page "narrator" and it's been cool over the years to go back and see the funny things he wrote. RIP both of them. God Bless little Norfolk, Nebr. where I was Baptized '55 in the Methodist Church there, and spent every summer there for decades.

And that's kind of what happened, imo.

It was just a couple of months after President Kennedy was assassinated, which traumatized me in ways I could never explain. The Beatles saved all of us. Their arrival was a welcome lift for our mourning country, to say the very least. I saw this particular interview when it was aired in 1984 and remember it quite well. I am to this very day a true "Beatlemaniac" and upon seeing this on the page, couldn't resist saying so.

Johnny is the all-time great when it comes to night-time talk shows but he doesn't seem too prepared here. "Do you see Ringo much?" Paul - "Yeah, I just made a film with him."

Billy with the green eyes

Johnny Carson is a great host and asks really thoughtful questions

At the time of the Beatles first appearance on Ed Sullivan, it was Jack Parr on the Tonight Show. Parr actually played a clip of the Beatles a short time before they appeared on Ed Sullivan. I remember it well. Ed was pissed.

I love both these gents❤

If u think this is bad, you should see Cavett interview George Harrison

He also schooled Michael Jackson on publishing and how to get paid for songs u write ✍🏿..and ended up buying the catalog under him

Carson was right! "...left a legacy of music...to last for generations to come. " Carson's questions were sort of pedestrian.

Pedestrian is right.

I remember like it. Was yesterday Feb.10 1964 was on a Monday and at school it was Beatlemania and nothing else. They made an impression to say the least.

I wonder how many people in this world have seen Paul McCartney in person. It's got to be in the millions & millions.

Agree!

In '84, beneath the TV's soft blue glare, Paul McCartney, with a twinkle, shared a tale so rare. On Johnny's Tonight Show stage, with laughter in the air, He spoke of "Give My Regards to Broad Street," with flair. With anecdotes and memories, he painted scenes so bright, Of how the film unfolded, beneath the studio's light. A journey through the melodies, a journey through the night, As Paul recounted tales of music, passion, and delight. In '84, a year of magic, where dreams took flight, McCartney's words danced freely, like stars in the night. A poet with a guitar, his stories took their height, As viewers watched in awe, in the flickering TV light. So let us raise a glass to that moment, pure and fine, When Paul McCartney graced us with tales divine. On The Tonight Show's stage, where memories intertwine, In '84, with Johnny Carson, in a moment so sublime.

I love it! I was in the audience and that occasion literally changed my life. I was 17 in Oct 1984 and I met friends in line to that show who would eventually lead me to my husband (now married 35 years with 4 kids and 4 grandchildren). Plus, I was able to see my all time favorite, Paul McCartney. What a great experience!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Mozart and Beethoven told Paul to hold their Beer.

Paul is a very cool guy❤❤❤

Let's face it. Rock music was never Carson's "bag" plus McCartney was probably winding up on a long talk show tour and was burnt out.

Paul is such a neat fellow and looks so good here! I had a phase when I was about 10 yrs old where I just loved him, listened to alot of P. MC and Wings. Very talented and a real treasure.

I was born in 65. I thought he was great looking and loved his music. Knew about Wings first, the I realized he was in the Beatles. I bought Revolver and …

Was born June 29, 1967...exactly 28 days after, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album was released. Pepper was right at a month old...when I was born. I just like knowing...the greatest album of all time...was released at the nearly exact time I was born.

Paul was very self-possessed in a good way. He's showing Carson HE is in control of the interview. Witty!

Paul is absolutely the biggest musician alive

He must have had a sense Johnny was not bringing it. The intro made it sound like Sullivan was bringing on a ton of bands pre- Beatles. American rock stars yes, but not the british invasion, etc. Also, Paul is 'probably' one of the top whatever he said? Seems like Paul gave him about 10 zingers and Johnny waa not used to not being the legend. Paul, generally not as smug in interviews with Bob Costas and Howard Stern. A little shocking that he said Johnny was lying about the Ed Sullivan mention. I thought that too, but I guess it's true. Uncomfortable interview all the way around.
