Original subtitles

(# Orchestral version of ''Junk'')

(Paul) 'Hello, how are you?' (Mary) 'How do you do?'

'Fine, thank you.'

(# ''Oo You'')

(Linda) 'I always was a lover of music. Whenever I liked people's music,

'I ended up taking great pictures of them.

'It was my fate. It totally changed my life. '

(Paul) 'ln the early sixties, it was the music and the groups that made that music.

'She was like the rest of us. We were infatuated with what was happening.

'And suddenly, for the first time in our lives, we were kind of important.'

- How old were you then? - What's so amusing?

This is your father's history. Listen up, kid!

(Man) ' Linda was asked during an interview where she'd first met Paul. '

(Linda) 'I met Paul at a club in London. The Bag O'Nails, to be exact. '

l met your mum in May '67

in a club in London called the Bag O' Nails.

(Linda) 'Some other people sat not next to our table but the one beyond it.

'And Paul of the Beatles was with that group. '

And the band was Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames.

'They were really hot. It was fabulous. '

l looked over and saw her, and l thought, ''Wow, she looks good!''

'Our eyes met and it was one of them... We kept looking at each other. '

l thought, ''Here goes nothing.'' l stood up.

'He mingled over my way and started talking. '

l said, ''Oh hi, hello there. My name's Paul. What's yours?''

She said, ''Linda.''

Did you learn a lot about her that night, that she was a photographer?

lt didn't get deep into what she was doing. l knew she was a photographer.

'I was the Fillmore East photographer. Many acts would play there constantly.

'The Who,

'Jimi Hendrix,

'B B King...

'I had no idea I was photographing future icons.

'It was music and people that I loved.

'Then I went to England to do a book - ''Rock And Other Four Letter Words''.

'When I was in London I took my portfolio to the Beatles' office.

'And I said, ''I'm desperate to photograph the Beatles. ''

'A few days later the assistant said to me, ''Brian loved your photos.

''' He's having a press get-together for the release of Sgt. Pepper. You can come. '''

(Paul) 'She was one of the only people who got in to the launch of Sgt. Pepper.'

She took good pictures of the Beatles. Me and John doing a ''Nice to meet you.''

- Shaking hands. - Nice picture.

'One of the first things l noticed was the way she held the camera.'

She had a way with these very long slender fingers.

'A picture of me looking up at him, went out on the wires. '

'That was the first photo taken of us.'

American photographer Linda Eastman seen chatting to Paul McCartney.

'Then I went back to New York. I thought, ''We'll never see each other again. '''

She just kept coming back to me in my mind.

l thought she was great, she's special. l keep thinking about her.

'We hooked up in LA. l was there for some record company thing.'

'We met at the Beverly Hills Hotel and had a great time.

'For a dirty weekend. '

Mum's saying, you went out for a ''dirty weekend''.

Dirty weekend! She was very honest, see.

(Paul) 'Somebody said, ''Do you want to come on my yacht?''

'lt wasn't exactly a great yachting cruise.'

lt was tacking endlessly in these terrible little canals.

l said, ''Oh my God, sorry about this.

''l brought you on this not very cool cruise.'' She said, ''lt's OK.''

'We talked about music, photography, art. lt was a good thing we had in common.

'And she had a daughter from a previous marriage, who was Heather.

'We'd always have something to talk about, even if we were tacking to get out of LA.'

'Then I got a phone call from Paul saying, ''Why don't you come to England?''

'They were doing the White Album. ''Just come, just show up. ''

'I said, ''How do I know you'll be there? Anyway, I'll think about it. '''

At a certain age, you start to think, ''Wow, you know, l've got to get serious.

''l can't just be a playboy all my life.''

'And off I went to England.

'So it all blossomed from that. '

She'd always say about the state of the place when she got there.

lt was a bachelor pad.

'I arrived at this house, this dark house. A bachelor kind of place.

'A lot of browns, the TVbarely worked, nothing worked. '

My fridge, you know, had like half a bottle of sour milk,

a little bit of dried cheese, and nothing much else.

And you know, she was like 'Fridge Mama'.

She was like, American fridge!

(Linda) 'Paul came back early and played me ''Happiness Is A Warm Gun''.

'That's what they were recording that night, the night that I arrived.

'The Beatles were obviously going through a bad time. '

lt was getting near the break-up of the Beatles.

'Yoko was coming down the studio.

'We didn't say much to John about it, at the risk of offending him and Yoko.'

We didn't say, ''What's she doing here?'' But we did kind of imply that,

which made things a bit uncomfortable.

And when she moved the bed in to the middle of the recording area...

- Are you serious? - l am.

lt was like, ''OK, we've got to roll with the punches here.

''This is a bed and she's lying down. That's OK.''

So it was like a happening, you know?

# l wake up to the sound of music

# Mother Mary comes to me... #

'We were in the studio doing ''Let lt Be'', and l had an idea for a harmony.'

lt was on a high note l was having trouble getting.

So l suddenly thought, ''You're a girl. Can you get that note?''

She said, ''l'm not a singer, but l'll just try it.''

She held this note beautifully which is at the top of the harmonies.

# Let it be, let it be

# Let it be Yeah, let it be

# Whisper words of wisdom... #

The thing about the Beatles was, it was this unit, like a square, like a box.

And everybody was outside it - girlfriends, wives, anybody,

had always, traditionally just left us to it, to go make our music.

'And now it was a little bit different. Quite a bit different.'

(Linda) 'I was going through a transition. He didn't quite know what he was doing,

'and I didn't know what I was doing.

'But once we were walking past this sign that said, ''Buddhist Weddings''. '

This little sign said, ''Come in and have a Buddhist wedding. Get married.''

And l just said, ''Do you fancy it?''

'I was so newly not married, I didn't want to get married again.

- 'I went, ''No. ''' - ''No.''

l think she wanted a little more time to consider it.

'She'd say, ''Let's get out of London. Let's go and get lost.'''

l'd say, ''Excuse me? No.'' l'd want a destination and the route.

She'd say, ''Just go down this street here. lt'll be OK.''

# You and me Sunday driving

# Not arriving

# On our way

# Back home... #

So l said, ''l'm really sorry.'' l was tired and apologised for that.

She just turned and said, ''lt's allowed.''

l remember thinking, ''Yes, l like that!''

l'd take a guitar with me. The song ''The Two Of Us'' was about that.

The two of us just heading out for nowhere.

'Totally free. That was a good feeling.

'During that period she did turn to me.'

She said, ''l could make you a nice home.''

l thought, ''What a great thing to say!'' No one had ever said that.

(Crowd shouting)

# Every day she takes a morning bath She wets her hair

# Wraps a towel around her As she's heading for the bedroom chair

# lt's just another day... ''

(Paul) 'March 1 2, 1 969.

'We went down to Marylebone Registry Office.'

# lt's just another day... #

We said, ''Let's try and do it quietly so that we don't have the press there.''

When we got there, it was quite quiet.

# lt's just another day

# Doo, doo, doo, do-doo, doo... #

'lt was a fun little wedding. We giggled our way through it.'

''Do you promise...'' (Stifled laugh)

Mum was breaking up.

John and George and Ringo weren't at the wedding.

No, maybe because of the tensions. But it didn't seem important.

lt was mainly the two of us wanting to get married quietly.

'But we came out... Wow!'

l kept shouting back, ''She's with me!''

(Man) Why are you girls crying?

Why are you crying?

l'm not sure if she was keen to get married. l had to persuade her.

'l had to say, ''No, it'll be OK.'''

'When I married Paul, to them I was an American divorcee.

'This unfashionable woman who married a Beatle. '

- What does it feel like to be married? - Fine, thank you.

What are you going to do now? Is it going to change your life much?

I don't know, I've never been married before.

Mrs McCartney, congratulations.

What does it feel like to have married one of the most eligible bachelors,

- to be the envy of all the ladies? - It feels great to be married.

- Did she know what she got herself into? - l'll tell you what she wasn't ready for.

lt was the sort of bitchiness. ''Who is this woman?''

''He's marrying an American with a child.'' And l know it hurt.

Fans used to write stuff on the wall outside the house.

To say it was not complimentary was an understatement of the year.

lt was really savage stuff.

- She was pregnant with me then. - With you?

Actually, when you got married, if you calculate it out...

l know, it's true.

# That would be something

# lt really would be something... #

When you were born was the first time

l'd really seen magic taking place in front of my eyes.

You came out, big head of dark hair, and...

...it was great!

'That was very good, set against the tension of the Beatles sessions.

Your mum was a balance for all of that.'

# To meet you in the falling rain, momma

# To meet you in the falling rain #

(Linda) 'I've titled this picture The Four Strangers.

'This was during very tough times.

'The pressure of business had taken over. '

Quite soon after the wedding you released a solo album.

You wrote and recorded that at home, in secret. lt was all done very secretly.

Had you written the songs thinking that they would be for a solo album?

Some were Beatles songs that we'd tried and maybe hadn't worked out.

There was one called ''Teddy Boy'' that l'd tried, but nobody had any patience.

ln the earlier days we might have said, ''Why don't we try this?''

But it was like, ''l'm fed up with this.'' So we never got around to doing it.

So l thought, ''l'll do it on my own album.''

# This is the story of a boy named Ted

# And his mother said ''Ted, be good''

# He would... #

'l started recording because l love making music so much, l just didn't want to stop.'

# And she cried ''Oh, my''... #

l had a four-track machine in the living room, over in the corner.

And l've got this very simple technique

of just plugging in directly, right into the back of the machine.

lt's a really cool way to record. lt's so pure. The sound, there's nothing purer.

# Mummy, don't worry Your Teddy boy's here

# Teddy's gonna see you through... #

l'd listen to it and think, ''There isn't enough high hat, not enough cymbal.''

# Then came the day she found herself a man

# Teddy turned and ran far away OK #

l like that primitive way of recording. l did most of the album in that living room.

'The back cover was the picture of you as a baby in my jacket.

'So cute!'

l just had a little fragment of a thing that l had written,

l used to sing around the house.

And l stuck it on to open the album.

You can hear the door of the living room squeak as we're recording.

l think Mum walked through as l was doing it. lt was like...

# La-la-la, la, la, The lovely Linda

# With the lovely flowers in her hair

# La-la-la, la, la The lovely Linda

# With the lovely flowers in her hair #

lt was only a little bit, but it was nice.

'Towards the end of the Beatles, troubles were arising from all directions.

'We had a new business manager who we thought would be the great new thing.

'l couldn't stand him because he made the whole thing even more oppressive.

'So something that had been full of artistic freedom was now a nightmare.

'And l couldn't handle it.'

He is obligated into Apple for a considerable number of years,

so his disassociating himself with me has really no effect.

The other Beatles said, ''We'll stay with Klein. ''

And Paul found this inexplicable.

A tragic end to the Beatles!

- The press release was in the album. - The ''McCartney'' album, yeah.

This is the thing that he prepared that went out to all the nationals.

- It's not as bad as it seems. - He doesn't know whether it's permanent.

- (Reporter) Is anybody going to read this? - No, this is the only statement.

He'd had enough.

'It'll probably be a rebirth for all of us. '

'There won't be anything left of the Beatles or anything!

The Beatles will go on.

Yes, they have to and they want to do it. They never argued about money.

- Paul McCartney decided... - ...he wants to find out who he is,

and whether he can do what he wants to do.

There was no way we could continue.

'That was probably the worst, most difficult decision of my whole life.

'l thought, ''l love these guys, but l have got to get out of this.'''

- Some think that you broke up the Beatles. - Because l announced the break-up.

lt had happened months before.

And it was John quite categorically saying, ''l'm leaving the Beatles.''

ln truth, it doesn't matter who did it. The Beatles were ready to break up.

# And every night that day is through Oo, oo, oo-oo... #

l nearly had a breakdown.

The hurt of it all, and the disappointment.

The sorrow of losing this great band, these great friends.

We had to get on. We had to do something new, all of us.

(Linda) '...this farm Paul had bought in Scotland...

'He said, ''I know you won't like it, but let's go up there. ''

'So it was sort of a...just get away and go back to the beginning.

'I believe definitely in going by your own instincts. '

# Man, we was lonely

# Yes, we was lonely

# And we was hard-pressed to find a smile... #

We decided the only thing to do was to boycott Apple.

To get out of there, not go to any meetings that were such a headache.

Just get out of there and come to Scotland. So we did.

We took the kids, took the dogs, took everything we had.

Put a guitar on top and a potty for the baby.

And that was it. We just came up here.

We just... Newspapers eventually called us ''recluses''.

(Man) 'Are you dead?'

(Paul) 'Yes, well, I can definitely deny that rumour. Here and now. '

# Man, we was lonely... #

(Linda) 'People don't realise. For them it's just headlines.

'But everybody starts bothering us and we come up here to be left alone. '

lt really hit me. Very insecure, very paranoid, very out of work.

Very useless.

'l was going crazy.'

l wouldn't get up in the morning.

And when l did, l wouldn't shave or bother with anything.

And l'd reach for the whiskey as soon as l got up and stuff.

So that was a path that was not going to be a good one. l was going downhill.

l'd read the musicals, the newspapers.

And they'd have a bad article about me, you know.

''He broke up the Beatles'' or something. And l'd go, ''Oh my God, no!''

That sent me off on another bout.

Had l been on my own, l'm not sure l would have got out of it.

But very luckily, Mum was there.

She just said, ''You don't need to do this.

''There's a way you can do your music.''

She steered me in a good direction.

l started to feel much better about myself.

# Maybe l'm amazed at the way you love me all the time

# And maybe l'm afraid of the way l love you

# Maybe l'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time

# You hung me on the line

# Maybe l'm amazed at the way l really need you...

# Baby, l'm a man

# Maybe l'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something

# That he doesn't really understand

# Baby, l'm a man

# And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me

# Baby, won't you help me to understand... #

'It's all the money I HAVEN'T, because I have these business troubles.

'And at the moment I don't actually receive any money. '

Mum had some savings from her photography in New York.

So we were able to live on that for a while.

lt was a silly situation because you knew with the Beatles' success, l had money.

l just couldn't get at it.

lt was all frozen, receivership and all these legal things.

So luckily we were living quite simply.

ln a lumberyard.

We were living in a lumberyard.

lt was a bit of a tip. l never remembered that until l saw the home movies.

And l thought, ''What were we doing?''

# Want a horse l want a sheep

# l wanna get me a good night's sleep

# Living in a home ln the heart of the country

(Linda) 'It was a three -room house with rats.

'It was derelict, it was at the end of nowhere.

'We had no hot water or anything.

'But it was some of the best years of my life. And his life. '

# Well, when l walk When l walk

# Walk my horse upon a hill When l walk my horse upon a hill... #

(Man) 'Tell us about the farm. and your new life. '

(Linda) 'It's just getting back to natural living.

'We have horses and sheep and we plant our own vegetables.

'And it's the only place we go to where we can just be very natural,

'in this unnatural world.

'I've always been animal-crazy,

'so I guess I sort of introduced animals to Paul.

'He now has his own horse and he's a fantastic rider.

'We herd the sheep and clip them ourselves and take care of the place.

'And it really is a matter of getting back into life again. '

Money started to flow again, somehow the Beatles things got cleared up.

And it was really a question of how to do music,

without this band that l'd been in forever.

When we were in bed, would you come in here and jam with Mum?

Yeah, we'd make sure everyone was fed, happy and asleep, tuck you into bed.

And we'd come here to do a bit of jamming, playing, sometimes a bit of writing.

'Up at the farm, l'd had a little four-track studio put in there.'

So l was able to demo and experiment and make bits of music.

'During that time l was painting the roof.'

And Mum had bought the two first reggae records that hit Britain, called Tighten Up.

lt was great. lt was just a really hot summertime thing.

Reggae music and stuff. So it made us think,

''We should go to Jamaica. Wouldn't that be great?''

(Linda) 'Fantastic. They've got singles down there!

'It's like the '50s . It's just fantastic music.

'And it's so loose down there,

'all the kids blast it like in Montego Bay.

'At every corner they're playing reggae.

'I love reggae. My favourite. '

'The whole reggae thing was so free and young and new and fresh.'

We came in the studio, and influenced by that she wrote her first song,

which was Seaside Woman. lt was based on the Jamaican experience.

# Oh, Papa, catch the fish from the bottom of the sea

'lt was nice to find a kind of girlfriend, a wife, a mother of my kids,

'who l could associate with on a music level.'

# l don't belong My heart isn't strong

# Don't belong

(Linda harmonises song)

# Never fear The next time around

# She'll be here #

# Hey, didn't l want you back?

# Didn't l want you back?

# Hey, didn't l want you back? Didn't l want you back? #

'l remember sitting with Mum,

'saying, ''Do you think it would be a good idea to start something?'''

We chatted it through and it was like, ''Yeah, keep going.''

# Or is this the only thing you want me for? #

Ram. l've been listening to that a lot

because in retrospect it's an interesting album.

'We thought, ''Let's make a change. Let's go to New York.'''

Good place, great musicians. Let's get a different slant on everything.

'So l held drum auditions, put the word out. And drummers came around.

'And Denny Seiwell was the best of those.

'He'd been working as a session man,

'and was a nice guy. We got on well.'

So l started the Ram sessions with him.

And having my best mate, my wife, to sing along, was very comforting.

# Ah, love is long

# Love is long

# Love is long

# Ah, sing your song

# Love is long Love is long

Did it feel at the time that you were putting your new outlook to the test?

You'd been doing harmonies and jamming.

lt was really getting more professional.

# And in the morning you bring to me Love...

(Linda) 'The headline was, ''Who does Linda McCartney think she is?''

'This whole thing about how I'm not fashionable. Paul's fashionable.

'All this crap. I think you could get crushed.

'Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will break my heart.

'So who listens?'

We came back to England and we were talking one night,

and l said, ''Do you think you could handle being in a band?''

And Mum just thought about it and said, ''l've never done it before.''

l said, ''l know, but when the Beatles started, we'd never done it before.''

And l said, ''Can you imagine standing behind a curtain,

''and the curtains open, we're in a band, and there's all people there?

''How would you feel? Would it freak you,

''or could you get into it?''

She said, ''l could get into it.''

So that was the basis. We said, ''Right, let's try it. Let's do it.''

# Holding hands We both abandon sorrow

# Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow... #

l suddenly realised that l didn't actually know how to set up a band.

l'd never actually done it before. l joined the Beatles as an already set up affair.

l had to think about how to do it.

And in truth, l didn't have a clue.

l didn't want to get together a super-group of established names,

which might have been the easiest option.

l thought it would be better to get hold of some like-minded musicians

who would enable us to grow together.

We had Denny from New York, Denny Seiwell.

And l wanted another male singer to sing along with.

l think because l was so used to it with John.

l remembered Denny Laine from the Moody Blues.

We'd been on tour with them with the Beatles. He was a good singer, nice guy.

'So l called him up and he decided to join.

'And he came to Scotland and rehearsed with us.

'That was it. We started to put together a band,

'and recorded the first Wings record.'

# Wild life (Wild life)

# What's gonna happen to... #

'I'm still just Paul McCartney. I'm just still some fellow

'who wants to play, sing and have a good time.

'So I'm going to make sure I can do it. '

Wasn't Mum pregnant with Stella during those recordings?

- Yeah. - So that whole family thing's intertwining.

lt's like, ''We're starting a band, we'll do an album'', and Mum's out here.

lf she'd wanted to stop, we would have said OK.

'But it didn't come up.'

There were still some complications with the birth and everything.

With Stella it was such a touch-and-go thing. lt was a little bit of a drama.

And so when the baby came along, l was rather thankful for the whole thing.

And l seem to remember one day l was imagining angels' wings and things like that.

And l thought, ''Well, that's a nice image - wings.''

That's how it came about, in King's College Hospital.

(Man) 'In November, Paul and Linda held a launching party in London

'to introduce their group Wings and the LP Wings Wild Life. '

- 'You had a big reception, didn't you?' - (Paul) 'We had a ball.

'We had a big dance so we could get an evening out as well. '

- 'Do you often have evenings out?' - 'Yes, we go to the pictures and that.

'But we don't often go to a dance. '

- 'So you had your own dance?' - 'Yes, down in London.

'We invited a lot of people and danced all night. It was a good do!

'At the moment, I decided, we've got to take the first step and just rehearse.

'We've been doing this for a week, and it's already getting better

'because we're beginning to play a bit tighter and better.

'At the moment we've got a young guitarist called Henry playing with us.

'And, there's nothing really set yet, but he might come in. '

You've recorded Wings Wild Life,

released that, had a party, launched the band,

and now it's rehearsing to go on the road.

Yes, we tried to learn all our stuff, get the band together to get the feel of it.

Some of our roadies happened to know this guy called Henry

who'd been in Joe Cocker's Greaseband. They said, ''He's really good''.

So he showed up to a rehearsal and we got on well.

'So he became the guitar player. Mum on keyboard, me on bass.'

That became the first line-up of Wings.

(# ''The Mess'')

'The idea of working with complete strangers always used to terrify me.'

You look to one side and go, ''Who the hell's that? Oh my God!''

Shock yourself. What am l doing?

# l asked the gin man with the big tattoo

# lf he had seen any sign of you He said, ''No''

# l'm gonna break in two

# Oh, sweet darlin' What a mess l'm in

# Oh, what a mess Yeah, the mess l'm in... #

'Paul wanted me to be in a band with him. I didn't really want to be in a band.

'I said, ''I don't play anything. I love music, but I'm a photographer. ''

'He said, ''Here's a middle C, you can play keyboard. '''

'She suddenly realised, ''What have l got myself into here?'''

Suddenly being in this band with Paul McCartney.

- Crazy! - That's what l would imagine.

She would say yes because she was enthusiastic and liked music.

And then the reality of what she was doing probably sunk in.

And it's like, ''Am l kidding?''

Well, that was part of the thrill of Wings.

lt was a bit like getting on a tightrope.

# Oh, sweet darlin' For the mess I'm in... #

'We've rehearsed. We could play live. We could easily play live. '

We're going back to square one, so we won't book a big tour or hotels.

We'll just go in a van with the band, the kids, the dogs.

We'll all just take off up the motorway,

and we'll find somewhere to play.

(Linda) 'We're used to travelling around a lot with the kids and the dogs. '

(Paul) 'For instance, when we leave here, we'll get in the van

'and pick up a map. '

We didn't tell the press. We just went off on this secret tour.

We drove north, up the M1 ,

until we got near Nottingham, a place called Ashby de la Zouch.

We said, ''That sounds good.

''Let's see if there's a university here.

''Ask some students if they want us to play for them at all.''

The nearest university was in Nottingham.

Our roadie went out and said, ''We've got Paul McCartney in the van.

''Do you want him to play for you tonight?''

The head of the students' union was confused and dazed,

'but took one look and said, ''Oh! Yeah, all right.'''

'So that was all we did. The first gig of our university tour.

'And we've been doing that ever since. We've been to York, Hull, Newcastle,

'Sheffield last night. It was just great. '

'We were at Newcastle City Hall.'

''We'd like to do a song called Wild Life. One two three, one two three...''

Nothing! Just silence.

l sort of looked around, and Linda's going...

She said, ''l've forgotten the chords!''

So l walk over.

And then l go... And l can't remember the bloody things.

By this time the audience is rolling. Loving it, you know.

Suddenly she remembered, and ''One, two, three...'' We went into it.

The heart was beating fast. We had quite a few moments like that.

The tour was full of sheer panic.

But it meant that there was a good camaraderie,

and it was building the relationships between all the people in the band.

And ready for our next step, which was Europe.

'We were on holiday, trying to get healthy before the tour

'because it's going to take it out of you.

'But we thought, if we're going to be in Europe in the summer,

'going to places like the south of France,

'it's just silly to be in some little box all day, gasping for air.

'So we came up with this idea to have an open deck, an upper deck.

'We got some mattresses up there, so we can just cruise along.

'Fantastic! lt's great to just lie around and get the sun.

'Get healthy, man, on tour! Can't be bad.'

(Announcer) '...from England, Wings!'

(Paul) 'We're doing a European thing to play the band in. It's a new band.

'And if you play Britain or America with a very new band, you're on the spot.

'You've got to be red hot. And it takes a little time for a band to get red hot.

'It's almost like living together for a while, bouncing off each other and stuff.

'This is what we're learning to do on this tour.

'At the expense, I suppose, of the Europeans. '

(Man) 'Do you find it a great strain working with someone like Paul?

- 'I know it's your husband. ' - 'Easy. Really, I find it very easy.

'Totally. I'm just still learning.

'But it's fun. It's like life, you know. It's just another thing in life. '

People would say why is his old lady up there?

A gutsy thing to do because she didn't have your experience.

lt was a very gutsy thing to do. She had the courage to do it.

Once or twice we thought, ''Oh my God, what have we bitten off!''

(Linda) 'I was nervous the first half.

'We had no sound check, no rehearsal, no nothing. We had to go on cold.

'So I had to warm up a bit. We were very hot the second half. '

As he left the court, McCartney said, ''The judge is a great guy. ''

'McCartney's counsel admitted he had knowingly grown the plants,

'but had not known what they were. '

The cannabis seeds had been planted at his farm, four miles from here.

Those seeds had been sent to you. How did you come to grow them?

Yeah, well, we got a load of seeds, kind of in the post.

We didn't know what they were. We planted them,

and five of them came up like... five of them came up illegal.

Now this conviction might affect your entry to the States,

where you have considerable business interests.

- Yes. - How do you feel about that?

I understand I might not get stopped from going to the States

because it's a technical offence. I hope not, anyway.

# We're gonna get high, high, high With the music on... #

Looking back on it now, l have a completely different perspective.

lt's not that cool.

The truth of the matter was that the drug scene...

For that sort of small time it all seemed to us quite harmless.

We thought, we've all got it under control, so many of our friends are doing it.

So a song like ''Hi Hi Hi'' seemed like a perfectly harmless rock'n'roll song.

But because we're going to get high, the BBC said, ''We're not playing that.''

So they banned it. Of course that made it more popular.

# High, high, high

# High, high, high

# High, high, high ln the mid-day sun

(# ''Live And Let Die'' plays in background)

'I go to a film to hear the soundtrack. The picture becomes the background.

'They just filmed the background to music I wrote -

'the new James Bond film Live And Let Die. '

You and Mum performed ''Live And Let Die''. How did that come about?

- l don't know. - Yeah, you do.

- Eh? - Kick you with my heels.

- Don't! - Live And Let Die.

Yeah. l heard that they were making the new James Bond film.

And one of those things, if you're the kind of writer l am, is...

it's always one of those little ambitions - do the Bond song.

And l got the fairly straightforward idea of

''live and let die'' - OK, ''live and let live.''

So, ''When you were young And your heart was an open book

''You used to say live and let live''...

# You know you did You know you did, you know you did

# But in this ever-changing world ln which we live in

# Makes you give in and cry

# Live and let die

# Live and let die

# Live and let die

# Live and let die... #

'So we did that, made the record, finished it...'

Mum wrote the middle bit - ''...matter to you''

That's a little reggae bit in the middle.

# When you got a job to do You gotta do it well

# You've got to give the other fella hell... #

And they took it out to where they were filming, in the Caribbean.

And the guys listened to it and said, ''That's OK for the demo.

''When are you going to make the real record?''

''This is it!''

(Linda) 'The real problems for me are seeing enough of the children.

'I don't want other people to influence them. I want them to have a normal life.

'So we get home tired,

'and get up early to be with the kids and keep them under our wings.

(# ''Little Lamb Dragonfly'')

'Sometimes you're working all day,

'and if you hadn't been working with your husband, he'd come home tired,

'and you could build up his morale. But sometimes we're both exhausted.

'It's better like this than not!'

# l can help you out But l cannot help you in... #

'Looking back on it, it feels like it was easy, but l don't think it was.'

You tend to forget the bad and the difficult moments.

lt was not always a laugh and always a bundle of fun.

The pressures of bringing the band on tour, if any of you kids ever got ill...

lt certainly got hard from time to time.

And it would be a strain on our relationship.

But what isn't a strain on relationships? You find any couple...

l don't think there is any such thing as an ideal couple.

(Linda) 'We like the same things, we're committed, but it is...

'Relationships are the hardest thing going in life. You have to work on it.

'We both work on it, and have a laugh or argue. We always end up in a laugh.

'Now that I really do know chords and I do have a feel for music, I really love it.

'I've got so much pleasure out of it now. When you don't know anything,

'you can't really get pleasure out of it.

'It was such a contrast to what people expected,

'I can almost see why they put me down. '

(Woman) You, more than the other band members, get a lot of stick from the press.

How do you react to this?

I think it's getting better. It was justified at first.

I didn't have any training. I was learning piano when we first started.

- (Paul) Hello! - But now that I'm...I like it.

And I'm getting better at it. So I don't think they'll get me so much.

Would you get defensive about people saying those things about her?

Oh yeah, sure.

You know, the way we thought of it, we were in it for fun.

lt was music. This was not nuclear science.

lt was not like we were making the atomic bomb in Los Alamos.

Nothing... The world didn't depend on it.

lt was just something we wanted to do. So if we got it wrong, all right.

Big deal! Take it out of there!

We don't have to justify ourselves.

And she knew a lot of it was critics needing to fill space.

- That's what they do. - She'd also have it on the way she dressed,

- or whether she shaved her legs. - She got it on everything.

She was pretty cute about all that.

She just liked to be different, and to do stuff for fun.

So she bought these Argyll socks.

And obviously they matched. Two socks.

But she'd wear ones that didn't match.

She'd wear one Stewart tartan and one McPherson tartan.

And people would say, ''She's wearing Argyll socks that don't match.''

And we were saying, ''Do you think they think she doesn't know?''

Most of the styles that she wore then have come back now.

ln fact l think, Stella admits that a lot of her designs

are memories of Mum's things.

What about ''My Love''? What inspired you to write ''My Love''?

What inspired me to write ''My Love'' was your mummy.

# And when l go away

# l know my heart can stay with my love... #

We'd been together a while and were having a great time. We were very in love.

And l sat down at the piano.

And l was thinking about Mum, our thing, you know.

lt just came out. lt was a love song to her.

# And my love does it good

# Woh, woh-woh, woh

# Woh, woh-woh, wohhh

# My love does it good... #

Just before the take, Henry McCullough, the guitarist, came over to me.

And he whispered in my ear, ''Do you mind if l try something different on the solo?''

'And he did this great solo out of nowhere.'

# Woh, woh-woh, woh

# Woh, woh-woh, wohhh #

And so you've recorded ''My Love'' with Henry.

And you've still got Denny Seiwell as drummer.

But then they left the band. Can you tell me how that came about?

l was looking for somewhere exciting to record the next album.

l thought, a good idea would be to get a list off EMl, our record company,

of all the studios they had around the world.

lt turned out they had one in Africa. We said, ''Yeah, let's go to Africa!''

The night before we were due to go, Denny and Henry rang up and said,

''We're not coming to Africa. We're leaving the band.''

l said, ''Oh, great. Thank you. God, here we go again.''

At first it was like, ''Oh no, tragedy.''

But then l thought, ''We're going to go, and we're going to show you!

''We're going to make the best album ever.''

'So we did. We went to Lagos, as planned.

'Just the three of us, no drummer, no guitar player. Denny, me, and Linda.

'l thought it was going to be in gorgeous Africa. African music, African culture.'

But it was like monsoon season. The studio wasn't built.

# Said farewell to my last hotel

# lt never was much kind of abode... #

'We'd gone there to be in what we had thought would be a cool place to record.

'But we had a dangerous time making it.'

There was a local guy called Fela Ranson Kuti,

who was a really cool musician. He was the local top guy.

He showed up at the studio one day.

He said, ''You have come here, westerners, to steal our music!''

So l played him a few tracks and said, ''ls this stealing your music?''

# Band on the run... #

'He said, ''OK, l see you're not doing that.'''

lt was going to become a bit dangerous because he was quite a voice in Lagos.

'Another thing was, Mum and l walking back, and a car came up.'

And suddenly all the doors opened, and five guys get out.

And they've got knives. Linda's screaming,

''What do you want? Leave him alone! He's a musician!

''Cameras, yeah, take 'em, you can have 'em!''

All the stuff l'd written was on one of the cassettes. But they took that.

We always figured that they probably recorded over it.

You know, ''Let's get some decent music on here!''

# Shake it

# Ah, now Shake it, don't break it... #

'''Hello, Mr Coburn? l've got this record.

'''And it's this sort of cover, and it's a band on the run, and what do you say?''

'lt was Linda l think who suddenly thought,

'''lf you're going to have a bunch of people, instead of having models,

'''wouldn't it be great if each one was a face you'd recognise?''

'And you'd go, ''Oh, it's him!'''

When we got back, l saw a letter that said,

''Don't, under any conditions, go to Lagos.

''Cancel! There's been an outbreak of cholera.''

(# ''Jet'')

- lt was you, Mum and Denny again. - Yes.

You needed to get a band together. How did you go about that?

We did our usual thing of holding some drum auditions.

'Out of them we picked a guy called Geoff Britton,

'who was a good rock'n'roll drummer.'

# Ah, mater... #

'Then l'd seen a guitar player who was a very young guy.

'He'd been with Thunderclap Newman that Pete Townshend had put together.

'This was Jimmy McCulloch. He was a young whizz kid.'

So he became our guitarist so it was now me, Denny, Linda, Jimmy, and Geoff.

# Somewhere to the south of New York City

# Lies the friendly state of Tennessee... #

'So we went to Nashville. lt was really to get the band broken in.

'And then, once we had rehearsed the band, to make a record.'

# Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

# Down to Junior's farm Where l want to lay low

# Low life, high life Oh, let's go

# Take me down to Junior's farm Take me down, Jimmy

# At the Houses of Parliament... #

(Mary) 'Geoff Britton didn't last very long.' (Paul) 'Why didn't Geoff last too long?'

lt's like in the Beatles we had Pete Best, who was a really good drummer.

But there was something. He wasn't quite like the rest of us.

We had a sense of humour in common, and he was nearly in with it all.

But it's a fine line, as to what is exactly in and what is nearly in.

So he left the band, and we were looking around for someone who would fit.

'And it turned out to be Joe English, a very interesting drummer.

'He was fun. He seemed to fit with the band.'

And now with Jimmy and Joe we were ready to get bigger.

Do you have anything to say to the people of New Orleans?

- Yes, indeed. Mardi Gras. - Keep smiling, we love you.

- When is your album coming out? - In about two months.

- Any idea what the title will be? - Not yet.

But stick around and we'll let you know.

- But Venus and Mars are all right tonight. - Just a little hint.

# Love is blind

# Well, l don't know But l say love is kind... #

'We were getting around in those days.'

We went to Lagos because of African music.

We went to Nashville because it was America.

And the New Orleans scene, the R&B thing there is great.

'Even though you didn't use the style of the town you were in too much,

'it still influenced the way you felt.'

So Joe would probably drum a bit funkier than if he was in Lancashire.

- 'We took days off and had Mardi Gras.' - 'Got dressed up?'

'Dressed up as clowns, thinking no one would recognise us at all.'

And people on the street, ''Hi, Paul!'' l said, ''No, l'm a clown.''

# lt's my carnival

# lt's a lovely day

# Well, it's my carnival

# lt's a lovely day... #

lt was fantastic. We'd come from very small beginnings.

After the hugeness of the Beatles, we put together this new band,

'actually making records that people liked. Number one records.

'We'd wanted to start something up just to continue playing music.

'Then we'd wanted it to be something cool that was us,

'that allowed us to be free and experiment.

'Then we wanted to practice it and get a really good group.'

So we finally had done all of those things.

And now here we were like poised to actually take it out and show off a bit.

So on September the ninth, we kicked off the world tour,

at the Gaumont Theatre, Southampton, England.

- Pyjama! - Pyjama, pyjama!

You took us all across the other side of the world, to Australia.

- Was that a difficult decision? - lt was only an issue to newspaper people.

''Oh, look at those dreadful rock'n'roll people, doing that!''

lt was not like you were hanging around all night and everyone was totally out of it.

There were parties, but they were more like family parties.

We always had to go to bed.

l remember wanting to stay up

and being ushered into the bedroom and having to sleep.

- We wanted to stay up. - That's kids, though!

Kids always want to stay up and they have to go to bed.

'We managed to combine being in a rock'n'roll band and bringing up a family.'

Any problems with security, with the children, with your wife?

No. We don't worry too much about it.

But we've got a fellow working with us called Billy.

- 'Billy's about 10 foot tall. He's got a... ' - '...heart of gold. '

(# ''Warm And Beautiful'' plays in background)

Morning, all.

- Let's see the horses. Want to tag along? - This is the Wings carrots.

- Everybody tag along! - 'Mother and wife is it for me.

'And riding my horse and my animals is it to me. Photography is part of that. '

It's called a Prickly Pear cacti. You find those in Arizona as well.

'I wasn't very good at school... in school, see that?'

Notice the wildflowers at this beautiful place where we're staying.

'But I think that getting experience in life and understanding people

'is more important than school. '

This one's going to have a baby.

'Heather is very worldly just having come with us everywhere we've gone. '

# Love will never die #

A little rock'n'roll song for you here.

(Man) 'McCartney has just been told that a planned tour of Japan

'has been cancelled because of a conviction for possessing cannabis. '

How do you feel about being kept out of Japan?

It's a bit tough. It's a pity because we were ready to go.

Hello, people of Japan.

This is Paul McCartney of Wings,

saying that we're very sorry that we can't come to play our music to you this time.

But if the Minister of Justice says we can't come in, then we can't come in.

So we'll see you next time, when we come back to your beautiful country.

Sayonara...

and rock on.

(# ''Bluebird'')

(# ''Let 'Em ln'')

'We'd come a long way and it was a great tour.'

All the news people go, ''McCartney's back in town with Wings.''

(Reporters) 'Six years after the Beatles broke up, Paul McCartney came back

'as one of the few sixties superstars still alive, still making music and money.

'Still a superstar. '

'McCartney is the most successful former Beatle.

'He's had six gold records, and this tour will take in over five million dollars. '

By the time we got to Seattle, we'd got the world attendance record.

(Reporters) 'Flying high, McCartney is a superstar the second time around. '

'It's sold out for three nights, bringing in over half a million dollars,

'on the strength of Paul McCartney and Wings. It is his show and his money. '

# Ooh, yeah, yeah Let 'em in now... #

lt's exciting. You've had a lot of parties in little places,

and now you're going to have a party in a whacking great place.

(Linda) 'The more people see the show the better. '

'I like stadiums. I find them intimate, but most people don't.

'I don't want to go back to the little ones. '

(Reporters) 'The concert began in the dark. Smoke machines filled the stage with fog.

'At 8.:25 the lights came up, and there he was. '

'Ten years after his last tour of these shores,

'McCartney insists, ''The Beatles are dead. Long live Wings. '''

'So far no Beatle bulletin.

- 'Will it happen tomorrow?' - 'Probably no. '

'I'm bound to ask about the multimillion dollar offer to reform the Beatles. '

'We don't know, but we'll be there to find out. '

'Perhaps all four Beatles may show up on the stage here. '

The Beatles split in '69 And since then they've been doing fine

And if that question doesn't cease Ain't no one going to get no peace

And if you ask it just once more l think l'm going to break your jaw!

This was a little ditty that l made up, Muhammad Ali style,

in order to answer the inevitable question l was getting asked at that time, which was

''When are the Beatles going to get back together?''

'There were one or two little hiccups because Jimmy was his own man.'

There was one incident when he didn't want to come back on for the encore.

l was like, ''What?'' l've never had anyone decide that before.

So l just off and grabbed him. l said, ''You're coming back on!''

And he responded well to that bit of direction.

He came on, he played a blinder.

The word spread that this was a good show. Never mind the Beatles.

This was just a good show to see. Something completely different.

# Then it occurred to me You couldn't be bad

# Magneto was mad Titanium, too... #

And how did it feel to see Mum by your side?

lt was great. Really great. Beautiful.

# You were the law #

lt was the payoff.

That was the crazy idea we'd started in the beginning.

''What if you're up on stage with me?''

And even though it seemed totally impossible, there it was happening.

This tour has been so much fun. Especially on stage.

- Right? - Right.

'She was enjoying being in the band.

'Doing the keyboards. She was confident.

'And we were having a good time.'

She had answered all the critics.

That's all gone. People now are saying, ''Wow, this is a good band.''

lt's the point we'd wanted to get to.

(Reporter) 'I'm speaking to you after a sell out performance

'that had 20,000 and plus McCartney fans on their feet.

'No John Lennon, no George Harrison, and no Ringo Starr.

'Just Paul McCartney and Wings.

'For everyone here tonight, that seemed to be plenty. '

(# ''London Town'')

(Linda) 'A typical day is pretty ordinary for me.

'Because I like ordinary. It's what I'm about. '

(Paul) 'One thing people say a lot is, ''How did you stay so normal?'''

And l say, ''l've always been around normal people.''

Family, you guys.

We'd be like, ''Dad, can you stop playing guitar, l'm trying to watch TV.''

l'm a famous composer, darling.

This is important. ''Dad, shut up!''

# Silver rain was falling down

# Upon the dirty ground Of London Town... #

'You'd think with a song called ''London Town'', you'd make the album in London.

'No, much too easy. We've got to go to the Virgin lslands on boats.'

One boat was a recording studio, and we had a couple of boats for living on.

(Both laugh)

'Jimmy McCulloch liked partying too much.'

l was rung up one morning by Steve Marriot, a good singer.

He said, ''Me and Jimmy have been up all night.

''He's decided he wants to join me and leave the group.''

And so l was a little bit put out.

But l said to them, ''Good luck, guys!

''l'll see ya, Jim.''

# l'm carrying

# Something

# l'm carrying

# Something for you... #

lt was going to be our last child. We both secretly wanted a boy.

# Carry me back To the days l knew then... #

l remember particularly when we were recording ''Mull Of Kintyre''

her being pregnant and we were doing the harmonies.

She used to love the fact that she was singing ''Mull Of Kintyre''.

Because if you believe that the babies can hear that, like l know you do,

then it's quite cute. lt was sort of on the record almost.

# Mull Of Kintyre... #

'lt was a love song to the area where we were living. Mull Of Kintyre.'

At that time, punk rock had just come in.

(lmitates clashing guitar) lt was all... ''God Save The Queen''.

The thought of releasing a Scottish waltz in the middle of that was like,

''Well, that's going to be unusual.''

They came up in full dress. And all the young lads with their drums and stuff.

# Flickering embers Grow higher and higher

So we finished it up and said, ''Right, now, break out the ale.

''And we're getting rosy cheeked tonight, and we're playing it back.

''lt's a number one! lt's a number one hit!''

- What's number one in the hit parade? - Wings and ''Mull Of Kintyre''.

Wings with their new single, their beautiful ''Mull Of Kintyre''.

Ladies and gentlemen, Wings!

'lt was a screaming hit. Just went crazy.'

lt was the biggest-selling record in the history of the gramophone.

'Those achievements and the sale of over two million copies of ''Mull Of Kintyre''

'probably have made him a permanent entry in the Guinness Book Of Records. '

A nice nurse came out and said, ''lt's a boy.''

So l grabbed her, picked her up, hugged her, and rang you kids,

''Guess what, it's a boy!'' l could hear you scream.

'That was James, little cute thing.'

l always used to say, ''l ruined your career, didn't l?

''You got married to me and became Mrs McCartney,

''whereas you were Linda Eastman, respected photographer, artist.''

'Because the danger was that it got overshadowed by my name,

'which was now her name.'

She got an offer to do a book and put an exhibition together and stuff.

So she did. lt was the start of the reawakening of her photographic career.

Why do you think it was happening then rather than before?

l think it really only occurred at that point because we'd been working on Wings.

And the danger with spending that much time as a band member and as a wife

is that an important part of your life could be forgotten.

She was too good, though. lt couldn't be kept down.

'The ever-changing line-up of Wings.'

Joe, the drummer, got very homesick for America.

l remember thinking, ''Look, the group's breaking up again.''

And you can get fed up with that.

People used to make fun of it, ''Another band change for Wings.''

# lf you had taken an arrow And run it right through me... #

'l would have liked it to stay together.

'When it didn't, we found Laurence Juber and Steve Holly,

'so we made Back To The Egg with that line-up.

'We thought it would be a big seller, and it wasn't.

'But l know some people will say, ''My favourite album is Back To The Egg.'''

# ln a village in Old Siam, sir

# Lived a lady who lost her way

# ln an effort to find a man, sir

# She found herself in the old UK... #

Paul McCartney and his wife Linda are standing by

on stage in London via satellite before a concert at the Rainbow Theatre.

I think we've seen the sign that says ''Wings is sold out tonight''.

It doesn't appear that Wings is in any trouble.

'Well, we keep trying, you know. '

How do you keep it fresh? How do you keep it current?

I think the trick is, we enjoy doing it.

We've been making records together for about a year with this band.

And so it's good fun now to go on the road, and to do the songs to people.

It's a new experience that we're enjoying.

When we don't enjoy it, we'll knock it on the head, but we're enjoying it.

lt was strange, really. We were feeling like we'd done what we'd set out to do.

And we were getting a bit fed up with another line-up.

Here we go. Another dollar, another day. lt started to wind down.

The enthusiasm had peaked.

- 'Have Wings got plans to tour?' - 'We're going to Japan in January. '

'We arrived there for this very big Japanese tour.

'Oh, hello Tokyo. Linda, please!'

lt was very shocking.

We had pot, tell you the truth. l don't know to this day what made me do it.

l had to be handcuffed all the time.

l was wandering around being taken out in the street,

where there was all these fans, screaming like it was Beatlemania.

And instead of going to a gig, l was going to a cell.

It's a strain.

I wouldn't mind if we knew he was getting out.

l'd heard that the penalty for this was seven years hard labour.

We weren't allowed to touch each other. She was on the other side of a grill.

And l wasn't allowed to see the kids at all.

l'm supposed to be a responsible father. What have l done?

l realised it was a big mistake.

(Reporter) 'Newsmen were there as the singer emerged, cheerful if bemused,

'from the police station where he spent the last nine days in cells. '

l suddenly didn't have to do the tour.

lt was almost as if l wanted to get busted.

There are times where you just think, ''OK, you're an idiot.''

And that's one of them. l was an idiot.

'The Japanese prosecutor decided not to proceed with the case,

'His reasons included McCartney's sense of regret,

'and because he'd suffered what the Japanese call ''social punishment''. '

They've been all right. It's all over. At least it's over.

l think l now have to own up.

We didn't have a conventional life.

'She used to say, every Christmas morning, she'd look out of her window

'and pray that there would be a horse on the lawn with a bow around its neck.

'Mum had lost her mum when she was about 1 9,

'l lost mine when l was about 1 4.

'So when we got married and she told me these stories, l thought,'

''l know the feeling.'' We could sympathise with each other,

and have little emotional moments about it, be able to relate.

So all those things brought us together.

(Linda) 'I've had experiences where I've been just riding around,

'let's say in a field of wildflowers or in the woods.

'And for a second I feel like I'm in heaven.

'Heaven on earth.

'That's a fleeting feeling, but I've definitely had those.

'And it's the best. I just love it!

lf you're lucky, all music is to do with freedom.

That was very much Mum's attitude.

lt's not their life, it's our life. We've just got to keep true to ourselves.

Nothing to do with critics or other bands. Nothing to do with anyone.

You do what you can do under the best conditions. lf it works out, great.

lf you make some good music, even better.

(Mary) That's what l like to hear.

So why did you let Wings end in the end?

l think it was just that Japanese tour. lt ended in a bit of a disaster.

So maybe it was time to not bother with any of that and give it all a rest.

Just sit back and see what's what. See what you want to do,

rather than what you think you must do.

# But if you don't feel it... #

(Linda) 'I have fun. I don't care about critics because I don't even know them.

'I only care about what I think and about what people I admire think. '

# We could set it free

# You and me

We had proved what we had set out to prove -

that there was life after the Beatles.

lt was amazing to be able to put the thing together a second time around.

And to succeed was virtually impossible.

But we did it. And then the hunger just subsided.

We thought, ''We've done it now.''

Go around the world ten more times and get more Wings hits.

(# Original version of ''Junk'' plays)

'lt was good to settle down for a little while, bring your kids up.'

ln those times, people were saying, ''The family unit is breaking up.''

But we didn't fancy that.

We liked the idea of having a close family.

- What was her biggest effect on you? - Biggest effect on me?

She was very kind, so l think she brought out my kindness in me.

l gave her some things that she'd been missing, too, hopefully.

We wanted to achieve some kind of freedom.

Get away from what was expected of us, and do the music we wanted to make.

And the way we wanted to make it. And live life in the way that we wanted to.

(Linda) 'Warmth and friendship, that's why I'm there.

'I'm not there because I'm the greatest keyboard player,

'I'm there because we love each other. '

We didn't really have a clear idea of exactly what we wanted to do.

But one thing we did know was that

the time had come for us to move on.

# You are my song

# Linger on

# You are my song l am your singer

# You are my one

# You are my own melody

# You are my song l am your singer

# Someday

# When we're singing

# We will fly away

# Going winging

# Cling, clinging

# Sing, singing my love song

# To you... #
