Is BAND ON THE RUN Paul McCartney's Legacy Moment?

Hello Everyone! With all the hype surrounding the upcoming MAN ON THE RUN documentary this week Andy and Tom decided to breakdown and discuss if Paul's most commercially successful album BAND ON THE RUN will or should be the album he will be remembered for? We look at it objectively and agree although we have our favourites as we know you all do to. Let us know your thoughts on this album. Will it be the one people go to 10-20 years from now if they're into McCartney or will they gravitate to PRESS TO PLAY?
Also the "New York Taxi" Yellow Vinyl Soundtrack is available from Capitol if you're still looking for one!

"Wings & GOT BACK Tour Rolls On!"

Hi All!
For E290 Andy & Tom catch up on last week's announcement of the new WINGS compilation dropping in November, discuss what we're happy with and not, tracks that should've been included, 3rd party ticketing nonsense, more merch and yet another date added to the GOT BACK tour kicking off in Santa Barbara! The 4th Quarter is in full swing!
Let us know in the comments what you're getting, if you're going for the show in CA and if you have experienced issues with Ticketmaster/AXS about any of the shows that do not honour 3rd party tickets and what have you been able to do to resolve it?
We'll see ya next time!
Andy & Tom

Episode 289: "Movin On" | 1993 Docu-Rewatch

Hi Gang! Freshly rested from the FEST and kicking off a new month we're back with a new episode where we revisit a documentary. This time it's 1993's "Movin' On" directed by Aubrey Powell, which chronicles the making of Paul's album Off The Ground and ensuing "Live In The New World" Tour. We found Paul to be a bit more upbeat and comedic in this one contrasted against the previous "making of" doc "Put It There." I think we can tell the success of the 1989-90 tour gave him a sense of pride and accomplishment. It's evident in his demeanor in this. Other guest stars in the doc, Richard Lester, (Director) Brian Clarke (Tour Designer), Kevin Godley (Director/10CC), Robbie Mcintosh, Hamish Stuart, Blair Cunningham. This doc is notable for the 30 seconds or so of the McCartney-Stuart collaboration "Is It Raining In London?" Andy hadn't seen this in full before viewing it here in the episode. Tom gave it a review before we recorded. What say you about this doc. Do let us know in the comments!
Till next time, Andy & Tom

Episode 287: "Flowers In The Ground"

Welcome Back 2Legs Faithful! As we close out another month, this week we are happy to share this episode with you, which we've called "Flowers In The Ground"!
We've discussed how these albums pair up against each other and if we had to make one album out of the two what would that album look like. Using the Beatles 14 songs per album approach we widdled Flowers and Off The Ground down and titled it "Flowers In The Ground"!"
We did this once with Tug of War/Pipes of Peace and we felt this would be a fun exercise to do. Many of our viewers/listeners feel strongly about this period in Paul's touring career, one that given his touring since 2002 has kind of fallen by the wayside despite having a really talented backing band with Hamish Stuart, Robbie McIntosh, Chris Witten, Blair Cunningham and of course the ever present Wix Wickens! What would your "Flowers In The Ground" look like? Let us know in the comments! This will be our final show until the Chicago FEST! See you there!
Peace! Andy & Tom
Interview with Robbie McIntosh

Episode 286: Macca Ticket Buying Saga!

This past week Paul's Pre-Sale for the 2025 Fall North American Tour was announced and on Tuesday diehard fans like us all tried with a myriad of mixed results! Ticketmaster and their "Dynamic Pricing" was a hot bed issue. For this special episode we invited members of the 2Legs Family to join us and share their experiences.
Thank You to MVP, Joan, Beatley Tone, Boyan, James, Jeremy and Ted for sharing your ticketing saga! We also pointed out the fact that several content creators incorrectly are blaming Paul for 3rd party exorbitant pricing.
Are you all in got the GOT BACK North American Tour? We are! Let us know!

Episode 285: "One Album: One Word"

A fun one this week! For Episode 285 Andy and Tom play a fun little exercise called "One Album, One Word", where we go through Paul's discography (Main canon albums + Electric Arguments) and describe it using an adjective! We open with tour rumours (we recorded this before the announcement on Thursday) and then get to it! What word would you use to describe these same albums? Let us know in the comments below! See you "Out There!" Peace Andy & Tom
