2Legs: A Paul McCartney Podcast

Episode 137: Live At The Cavern Club: A Review

Quick and short this week folks! 
Tom & Andy continue a film/DVD review from the McCartney series.  This week it's Live At The Cavern Club released in 2001 but originally premiered live in December of 1999 on Direct TV.  
As we point out this period represents a small but memorable time in McCartney's career.  His first official performance back at the Cavern since the final Beatles performance on 3 August 1963.  
Andy gives an overview of the current Cavern Club and his experiences at the venue during his time in Liverpool and how the current club is laid out compared to the original on Mathew Street.  
The DVD itself runs short. Just a 45 minute concert - all featuring tracks from the then recently released "Run Devil Run" and features the same musicians assembled for the album. (Dave Gilmour/Ian Paice/Mick Green/Pete Wingfield/Chris Hall).  Tom gives an overview of the bonus features (2 interviews and music videos for 'No Other Baby' and 'Brown Eyed Handsome Man' which would not be made available again until the release of "The McCartney Years" (2007).
Anyone catch this live on TV in 1999 like Andy? or have the DVD like Tom?   Tell us!
See ya next time.

Episode 136: "Rockers!"

This week on 2Legs Tom and Andy welcome Scott O'Rourke a DJ on WUSB in Long Island, NY (https://wusb.fm/) and their discussion centers on their favorite "rocking" Paul numbers.  
Our kid tends to get labeled as an old softie but in this installment of 2Legs these 3 pick out their 10 favorite heavier rockier Macca songs and the choices are on par!  And no doubt prove that Paul was and will always be a rocker at heart.  
We had a few similar choices, ones you likely would expect and some odd ball choices too!
What are some of yours?

Episode 135: "McCartney 3, 2, 1" REACTION

This week's show is taken from our YouTube channel where Tom and Andy gave their instant feedback on the brand new Hulu Documentary "McCartney 3, 2, 1" made in conjunction with Rick Rubin.  

Episode 134: Compilations!

Welcome back!
Our first show of July centers around the 4 Paul/Wings Compilations that are on the market.  Starting with Wings Greatest in 1978, All The Best! in 1987 (two different configurations for US and UK audiences), Wingspan in 2001 and lastly Pure McCartney in 2016.
Tom and Andy discuss the what ifs on all of these, how they were marketed at the time and which one stands the best of time.  Funny to think that with all of Paul McCartney's music there are only 4 official compilations.  Some artists have more comps than actual albums!
What say you?  Were any of these your starting point for your Macca fandom?

Episode 133: Lyrics!

Tom and Andy are joined by Beatles YouTube creator Matthew Street and we pick our 5 favourite Macca lyrics in the canon. Did we go all soft, or pick "dustbin" type lyrics? Watch and see and let us know what some of your favs are!

Episode 132: The Word

Game Time!
This week Tom and Andy jumping on an idea hatched by the Kiss Podcast folks "Three Sides of the Coin" come up with 1 word/phrase to describe each solo McCartney/Wings record.  We discuss the main canon (the same as our Ranking series).  
The Word can be thoughts on the concept/feel of the record, our personal opinion/memory of it.  Just a little fun exercise we had fun with.  We agreed on several words too! (Shocker)

Episode 131: "Women and Wives"

Episode 131 tackles a subject we have yet to take an in depth look at previously on 2Legs. Paul's relationships. Our first show outside of his musical career!
Joining Tom and Andy this week on 2Legs is Ms. Natalia Cardenas who is the host of the Podcast "She Loves You" which focuses on the women in Beatles history. Natalia's show is a breath of fresh air to the Beatles Podcast community and her subject area is one that has been overlooked. Natalia also manages a Cynthia Lennon Instagram fan page: "Cynthia Lennon Daily".
This is the first of at least a two part series. We discussed Paul's early Liverpool relationships proceeding up to and including the Jane Asher period. Our next installment will resume once Paul and Jane call it quits in 1968 prior to Linda's arrival in London during the White Album sessions.

Ranking The Tracks Volume 6! (Venus and Mars, 1975)

Volume 6 of our "Ranking The Tracks" series from our YouTube channel where we rank the songs on Wings' 1975 hit album Venus and Mars.  Originally streamed December 23rd, 2020. 

Anything But The Beatles: Episode 2: "Time" ELO (1981)

Hi Hi Hi 2Legs Audio Faithful!
This is a special off-shoot mini series that Andy has done with fellow Beatles Podcaster Ethan Alexanian (Fans On The Run Podcast) where we have a monthly chat on anything but Beatles music.  We dropped our first episode last month on Ethan's page and this month we are returning the favor here on the 2Legs channel.  We also have a YouTube channel as well.  Thanks for checking "Anything But The Beatles" out!  Andy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we are back!
We barely got it done for May but here we are!
This month this duo spends time geeking out on ELO. We talk ELO fandom in general, our favourite songs and concerts. We both saw the 2019 Tour and Andy attended the Radio City Music Hall show in September 2016.
We chose "Time" because we felt it is one of the overlooked ELO albums. The album was released in 1981 and certainly after the peak ELO's late 70s success but it still sold fairly well (#1 UK #9 US) and spawned two hit singles with 'Hold On Tight' and 'Twilight'.
We review the album track by track as Ethan shows off a recently scored UK pressing and Andy refers to the 2001 CD reissue for liner notes by Jeff. A time travel concept album for 1981?
What say you?
