Paul McCartney Interview The Tonight Show Johnny Carson Give My Regards to Broad Street 1984 

Who's watching in 2024? 60 years after that Ed Sullivan appearance?

I am watching. Am 72 yrs old still love the Beatles.

I must be one of the last people alive who was in that audience at Ed Sullivan in 1964. I was 12 and now 72. I was on the aisle in the 5th row and showed up in the first shot after Ed waved his hand to introduce them.

Feb. 9, 1964 was the first time the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. As I was screaming and dancing around the living room, my bewildered Dad looked at my Mom and said, "How could Ed do this to us"? It was a perfect night.

What a gem of an interview and there was NEVER, EVER ANYONE AS GREAT AS MR.CARSON!!!! Almost 20 years have passed since Johnny left us and his legacy will never fade away - there has never been a late night talk show host who can even be named in the same breath as Johnny!

My wife and I met Paul, while walking down the street in NYC in 2002. He was a super nice guy.

I've never seen Johnny Carson nervous with a guest. It's kind of endearing.

Paul is so funny, very quick witted.

I was 14 in 1964, when in music class our teacher allowed someone to play a record from a new group. That is when my life changed forever.

This may have been the greatest audience response ever on Carson.

Johnny Carson, no one has replaced him

And here we are in 2022 and The Beatles are as big as ever. Love the audience reaction!

The Beatles , the best music of the 20th century. Never again to be matched.

Wow, what a pleasure to be able to see the greatest talk show host of all time interview my favorite song writer and performer: two incredible legends…

It's 11:30pm and I'm up watching because Paul is always funny and uplifting. I love his quick wit!

Boy, do I miss Carson!!! Sick of the pablum we are served up today. Not a drop of class now!!! RIP Johnny.

Love them or hate them, The Beatles had one of the greatest impacts on the music scene in history.

I was 8 going on 9 in February of 1964. The Beatles changed my trajectory in life!

There music will never die I'm 56 still rocking to the Beatles

Paul McCarthy has an incredible sense of humor and his timing is impeccable. And Johnny had to run to keep up!! Wonderful Clip!!!

Paul McCartney was just so fabulous, and really handsome ❤❤

Paul had been a professional interview subject for at least 15 years by this time. He was very practiced at it but still, he has a very sharp, quick mind - funny guy.

It's March 22, 2024. I'm 72 years, and I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. From that time on, music has really evolved, changed, and influenced the lives of millions of people globally!

Not awkward. British humor and Carson keeps up with his diplomacy. Love em both.

“You’re just mad cuz they didn’t like your show”. Johnny makes mental note to never have Paul on his show again.

"Yeah, I write my own material John " Priceless.

Johnny met his match that night.

I was born in 1961, and I feel incredibly lucky to have lived with such wonderful music and musicians throughout my life! The Beatles, the Stones, Hendrix, and on and on and on! Thanks to musicians like Paul, their talent, dedication, and hard work has made all of our lives more enjoyable and meaningful than it would have without them! Thanks to all of them for what they do!

My father gave me a “Beatles education” as a youth. We had every album & played the songs from a Beatles songbook! He used to tell me they came to America the year I was born. Love them so much!!!

In addition to being a rather good musician, Paul is and has always been a gentleman in the best sense. Bravo and thanks.

I will love Paul until I die. Honestly - It sounds so silly to say so these days, but after 60+ years, there are still many of us who remember. I was 10 when The Beatles came to America in 1964. 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.

One of the rare occasions where Carson interviewed a star bigger than himself.

I'm watching after 60 years

Paul should have been the only guest. So much to talk about.

Just that little bit of Paul. Was worth waiting for.

Chris Farley did the best Paul interview.

Crazy how Carson’s already talking about how long the Beatles legacy has been around in the ‘80s.

You can tell the audience just adores him, as well they should. He's one of the most famous - and the best - musicians the World has ever known. I'm being as objective as I can. His musical talent along with John's was the powerhouse behind The Beatles, as everyone knows. He along with other musicians like John Williams, Glenn Miller, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein and a handful of others will go down as the greatest composers of all time. I say that without any reservations.

I'm not even born yet and I love the Beatles.

Crazy even this has been nearly 40 years ago, time flies

I am so thankful that THE BEATLES great library of music came to be in my lifetime. I am convinced there will never be another group that has had the impact that they have. I cried when I learned of John's tragic death, and also the passing of George. But since Paul is "my guy", I cannot imagine how sad I will be the day he moves to play in Heaven. (and BTW, there is only ONE Ringo)

One of the Greatest Musicians and Songwriters ever 😊😊

I was born in the USA in 1949, so was 15 when the Beatles got their start, and their music 🎶 was always the “new” record, never a “golden oldie”, I heard most of their new songs on the AM radio in the dash of my car, it was a good time!

They're screaming at him like it's 1964 all over again, love it ☺️🖤

not too many times that the guest is more prominent than Carson.... this is definitely one of them.

Aaaaaaannndddd, he’s still here!! ❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼

Unique interview with Paul. Carson took things anywhere but expected.

I can't even imagine sitting between Paul McCartney and Johnny Carson! My brain would explode! 😮

It makes me very happy to say this, Elvis Presley the Beatles and Led Zeppelin blew Frank Sinatra out of the water. All he was a singing statue. The Beatles were completely self-contained. They wrote played and sang their own music final Case closed. Thanks for the upload you guys and love from all of us on Staten Island, New York.

Still an icon. Music has been better because he and the Beatles are part of it.

Anyone with any sense of popular music history or with any class is watching this. Priceless!

The POWER of Paul McCartney, I’ve never seen Johnny so out of his element 😂

Been a fan since 1963!! I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan's show as a little girl & fell in love with Paul McCartney!! Here I am 60yrs later & still in love with Sir Paul McCartney!!😊😊👏👏👏👏👏

And Paul...is now 80 years old. 1984...he would turn 41. 2024...he turns 81. Just as much time has passed...from this Johnny Carson interview...as the time that passed, to then...from Paul's birth. Hard to believe.

Damn I can't believe how chill Paul is

Paul was more than rather good. He was one part of a fantastic duo. Both were magnificent team.

The number one pop/rock songwriter, all time

So cool by not being cool. Amazingly down to earth. Indirectly, I know someone who's played in one of his bands. He described him as, "He keeps forgetting he's Paul McCartney.

Thanks, this is the first time I have seen Johnny starstruck.

saw the Beatles in person in 1964 at the airport in Pittsburgh. I was 6. I was standing on the curb when the limo crawled past. Ringo was waving out the window. I could have stepped forward and high fived him. the place was a madhouse. the crowd lost its shit. girls were climbing telephone poles and 20 ft chain link fences. I saw them carry 2 girls out on stretchers ! My ears rang from the screaming. and they werent even singing ! they were just walking to their car. nothing like it since.

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." And asking him if he still writes music could have been taken as an insult to his most recent work, but somehow it's still entertaining, and the audience sure loves it. Happy to see this appearance, despite the awkwardness.

even just walking out paul is a master performer...all of his mannerisms etc are so polished from being one of the most famous people on earth since age 21.

As a youg teen I remember hearing on my transistor radio that Paul was killed in a car wreck. They never mentioned it again. I'm now 71.

Paul gets nervous too. Just like anybody else.

Incredible that Johnny is only 58 years old here in 1984, but he looks like 78! Older people look much younger these days.

Carson was the perfect example of a guy who knows how to interview a guest. He throws out many different ideas and questions and lets the guest pick where he or she wants to go. Always keeping his guest comfortable and not feeling pressured. Class act of which was attempted by many and some came close but he’s still the king of late night.

I'm watching 64 my mom was from England she loved the Beatles would listen to them when she was in her 80s He's definitely loved❤

I am a big fan of both Paul & Johnny. And this interview happened only 2 decades after the Beatles huge global breakout. 03/19/24

I am a fan of both Paul McCartney and Johnny Carson, so this was a unique moment in time. Mary Gross was funny as she usually is for being a good comedienne from Saturday Night Live. Of course neither the clip from Give My Regards To Broad Street or Saturday Night Live could be included here due to the fact that they are owned by other studios that only licensed them here for the actual live broadcast on the NBC TV network at the time.

Just 20 years after Sullivan. Now this interview was 40 years ago. Time passes so fast. Look how young he is!

Her's all you have to know about the popularity of the Beatles. Johnny says, when you were on the Ed Sullivan show in 63 or 64? The entire audience: 64!

Not many guest on The Tonight Show had the star power Paul McCartney did to talk to Johnny like that and get away with it.

This whole segment was AWKWARD… Surprising, given how TV savvy Paul and Johnny were.

I love Paul's answers, he's really funny.

Two class acts on one screen!

I'm watching, listening and loving the Beatles

McCartney at the top of his game!

This Paul, he fits the Bill perfectly.

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❤

Johnny Carson is a great host and asks really thoughtful questions

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.

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.

Watching this sure beats the bullshit currently on late night talk shows.

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.

The Greatest Songwriter Ever.

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 a very cool guy❤❤❤

Two Goats in their respective fields.

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 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.

Paul is absolutely the biggest musician alive

Paul missed an opportunity when Johnny asked him what a day in the life of Paul McCartney consists of: Wake up, get out of bed, drag a comb across my head!

I thought paul was a bit smug towards Johnny. And im from the uk Johnny is a chat show legend 👍

Paul McCartney learnt a good while back that's why he's still with us unlike others I know have a nice day

Hard to believe when that was taped it was only twenty years since the Ed Sullivan show
