2Legs: A Paul McCartney Podcast

From our weekly YouTube live series "Ranking The Tracks", we rank the tracks on the 2018 classic Egypt Station. Originally streamed 26th May 2021.  

Episode 185:”Top 5 Moments”

Hi all!
This week on 2Legs we welcome Tony from "Beatley Tone's Beatles Channel", a fellow YouTuber who joined the community a year ago or so. Tony has been an ardent supporter of 2Legs, and has created some excellent videos on his channel, specifically the deep dives into the McCartney Archive Series which launched in 2010.
For this show, Tony, Andy and Tom chose 5 moments from Paul's career that we felt he "got right." That could be an album, a relationship, a song, anything really related to his career.
We kicked around some good topics and we hope you agree with some of our choice. What are some others? Let us know! 

Episode 184: ”The Live Albums” (Part 2)

Hi 2Legs Faithful!
We tackled the live albums back in 2016 when David Gargalino was a co-host but not since Andy joined 2Legs. This week we discuss the main canon live albums, Wings Over America, Tripping The Live Fantastic, Paul Is Live, Back In The US/World, and Good Evening New York City. We discuss the other alternative live albums and almost live albums that were and should be. We put them into context for where Macca was at the time as well and what their legacy if any has as time marches on.
Be Well, Tom and Andy

Episode 183: ”The 1974 Rolling Stone Interview”

Another dive into a McCartney interview from the past. This time we tackle the January 1974 Rolling Stone Interview. The first time Paul was their subject interviewee and on the cover as a solo artist. Fresh off the heels of the recently released "Band On The Run", Paul is interviewed by music critic Paul Gambaccini. Tom and Andy scope out the best bits and analyse them.
For your convenience the link to the full interview is below as featured on the excellent Paul McCartney Project website.

Episode 182:”Macca A to Z”

First original show for October! Happy Fall 2Legs fans.
For this week Tom and Andy tackle a fun one. Choosing their favourite Macca songs from A to Z. There is no "X" (unless you hardcore Macca fans know an unreleased "X" track we may have missed).
We included one or two ourselves. As well as honourable mentions. What's your Macca A to Z? Tell us in the comments.

Episode 180: ”Acoustic” w/ ”Judge Timbers”

Episode 179: The 1984 Playboy Interview

In the December 1984 issue of Playboy, Paul and Linda gave a very frank interview to Joan Goodman, and the questions centered on John Lennon naturally, but also Wings.
This week on 2Legs, Tom and Andy scan the interview transcript and discuss the juicy bits. A side of Paul (especially Linda in this interview) that we rarely saw ever publicly.
Here's the full text of the interview if you're interested! 1984 Playboy Interview
