Those around me pre recording were certain that he would be playing with his band but i enjoyed that it was more of an intimate experience, albeit the he didnt perform a full song. <br />In addition to those you mentioned, Brad Pitt was also present as well as Simon Pegg (who asked a question), Martin Freeman, Mark Ellen (old grey whistle test) and James Bay ( didnt really know he was if truth be told !)

Paul trotted out a few of the well worn anecdotes, but there were new ones too. Just the odd tinkle on the piano to demonstrate techniques, and a very brief snippet of Lady Madonna on the piano to open with. Paul played a short version 'If you were here today'on guitar to show chords and the writing process. Total recording time was around one and half hours.

It's like the songs: after '65 or so, most of Lennon's songs are first-person and reflect what he was thinking; McCartney's are third-person and a product of distancing imagination. In interviews Lennon just said what was on his mind, which might conceivably be honest but it's not the same thing as telling the truth. McCartney presents his history like it's a story he's telling - like <i>he</i> wasn't really there. He's kind of absent from everything he says. We could speculate on why those two personalities were the way they were, but it seems to me that they were always that way, and that those personalities are what produced all that music and all those songs.Shad Radnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694832611604003362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695919221523064440.post-59002096009012109872016-04-30T11:56:26.984+02:002016-04-30T11:56:26.984+02:00Okay, so the audience is allowed to ask questions....Okay, so the audience is allowed to ask questions.

He totally answers the issue we were discussing of Paul McCartney in interviews, and some of the reasons for those perceptions, and the role of the interviewer, etc. VERY timely of you to run across that link. That was brilliant to hear. The rest of the interview was great as well. Mark is THE source for Beatles insight and info.

Hello.
Congratulatio...Just received this email. <br /><br />Hello.<br /> <br />Congratulations on being successful in the draw for tickets for what will be a tremendous afternoon. Unsurprisingly the demand for tickets were huge – so well done for getting this far. <br /><br />As you may know part of the format of Mastertapes is that members of the audience (that means you) are able to ask questions of the guest. Questions could be about anything – about Paul McCartney’s career and legacy, about specific songs or about his likes and dislikes.<br /><br />To help us ensure we have a full range of questions to use in the recording, we are asking for them to be sent to us in advance. Please submit your questions by Wednesday 4th May (or earlier if you want). You can submit as many as you like (though if chosen you will only be able to ask one question). <br /> <br />Please remember that admission to the event is not guaranteed, it’s on a first come first served basis. As not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to ensure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. However people with selected questions will be given priority entry to this event.<br /> <br />And of course, it goes without saying that without any questions we will not have a complete programme. So please email them in as soon as possible to: <br /><br />We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!<br /> <br />Best wishes and thank you,<br /> <br /> <br />The Mastertapes Team<br />BBC Radio 4<br /><br />If you'd like to suggest questions, please post here before 4th May and I will consider emailing them to the show<br /><br />Titenhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056721368884622472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695919221523064440.post-6200592976633841972016-04-29T18:02:47.341+02:002016-04-29T18:02:47.341+02:00You queue at the entrance and are issued a sticker...You queue at the entrance and are issued a sticker as you enter the building, (earliest = lower number)which is stuck to the printed e-ticket you bought with you.
