2Legs: A Paul McCartney Podcast

Episode 150: ”Best Friend” (Part 3)

This week on 2Legs we are happy to have Antony Rotunno (Glass Onion: On John Lennon) Podcast, back for Part 3 of our "Best Friend" series. Examining the Lennon-McCartney relationship throughout the 1970s. This episode focuses on the years 1974-1976.
By this time things had cooled down between the two and they famously jammed in March of 74 in LA. We discuss this and other attributed quotes as published in the NME, Rolling Stone, and other publications we reference throughout our chat. Antony also gives us his initial impressions on the "Get Back" docu-series.
We appreciate Antony taking the time to continue this fascinating period and look forward to having him back for a 4th part (1977-1980) and perhaps even a 5th (post-1980) installment. In addition to his Glass Onion: On John Lennon show, he has two other podcasts:
"Film Gold" https://anchor.fm/filmgold and
"Life and Life Only" https://lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com/

Ranking The Tracks Volume 13! (Pipes of Peace, 1983)

Our first (audio) show for November from our YouTube series "Ranking The Tracks" for 1983's Pipes of Peace.  Originally streamed February 2021.  

Episode 145: Favourite Archive Box Sets

The Paul McCartney Archive Series started in November 2010 when Concord first released "Band On The Run". Here we are 11 years later. 13 releases. This week Tom and Andy pick their 5 favorite sets since the campaign started. Also the aspect that many of these (released as late as 2018) are currently out of print making these sets hard to come by for new fans. Prices on secondary markets (Ebay/Discogs) are skyrocketing. Wild. Have you been on board since Day 1 with the Archives? What are some of your favorites/disappointments? Ram On!

Episode 144: The Music and Animation Collection

This week we look at another aspect of Paul's career. Animation!
Paul has been a big fan of animation and applying it with his music. His ideas for Rupert go back as far as 1970. And of course the ill-fated "Bruce McMouse" film from 1973 (finally released in 2018). Tom and Andy discuss this 2004 DVD release and the 3 films "Tropic Island Hum", "We All Stand Together", and "Tuesday". Paul's longtime animation collaborator Geoff Dunbar was involved in the creation of these 3 films.
Also, Tom and Andy open up this week with a little bit of Let It Be/Get Back discussion as the box sets recently dropped.

Episode 143: ”Return To Pepperland”

Tom & Andy take their turn at discussing the 1987 "Lost" album "Return To Pepperland." Sandwiched in between the Broad Street and Flowers era we discuss the tracks recorded between 84 and 87 with Phil Ramone, and try and see what if anything was worth salvaging. Some saw the light of day officially. This hodgepodge of material is an enigma. Some great. Some downright bad ones but some of our favourite tracks recorded during this period are "Beautiful Night", "I Love This House", "Lindiana". Thoughts? Let us know!
