Oh Lord. Diana Ross is awful.

The crowd are loving it though!

The backing singers are great ?

Diana Ross is awful.

Oh Lord. Diana Ross is awful.

Late to the party here , recorded it as I knew I wouldn’t be able to see it to the end last night , loving it Paul is still superb George was “the one” though and I love the drummer ! Cried at Blackbird as we played it at DH’s funeral but such great times remembered .

Wasn't impressed with Diana Ross ?

I am another one who can’t find it on Catch Up .It has been suggested that because the BBC did not air the performance live ( there was a one hour delay apparently) this has caused a delay in getting it stacked on iPlayer. I don’t really understand it but that is what I have read.

The Beatles were respectful, both to the interviewers and their fans. Respect is the most important thing in the world, without it everyone becomes selfish and rude.

How I agree re The Beatles Chestnut and the were lovely to their fans, including me!

Obviously Noel is like his brother Liam who is so thick he can't put a sentence together without several f words. They and Adele are just coarse and inarticulate. In all the interviews I've seen, the Beatles were never rude, never swore, and were always charming, funny and witty. It was another world back then.

He's 80. He's allowed to be embarrassing ?

Found Macca embarrassing, enjoyed Noel Gallagher apart from his foul language in between each song. He is very talented but also so stupid. I like listening to him sing but not talk. So glad the weather is good for everyone.

We can't find it either Grandmabatty as our recording missed off the last bit. I think it may be on tomorrow.

I thought I would watch Paul McCartney today but I can't find it! BBC I player doesn't seem to have it. Surely it would be very popular?

Having watched a programme on Paul the other night I thought it would have been nice to have a couple of clips on the screen of him performing with Wings in the 1970s. They could have synched the screen to his performance. He looked great back then and Linda could have appeared too. It would have reminded everyone how good he was in his youth. I'd rather see Linda on the screen than Johnny Depp.

I suppose the guitar playing keeps fingers nimble?
He certainly looks in good shape all over, doesn't he?
Stands up straight, skin looks good, too.

I’m glad you spotted that, too, MissA! Yes, you’re right about the ‘padding’. They also looked very nimble, if that’s the right word to apply to fingers!

Yes, I did!
They looked very soft and wrinkle free.
They still have some padding on them, rather than thin and veiny like mine

Last night was amazing! Oh to have half his energy! Did anyone else notice how young his hands look?!

It could be really interesting.
I quite often see reference being made to where I live (well, a few times) and I'd love to say "I live there!"

I wonder how many people have actually met, without ever knowing it, over the years.

It's such a shame that nothing is private on the forums, because we could try and work out which people might have met, be distantly related, or had friends in common.

Six degrees of separation (or fewer)

It's amazing how often it happens

Yuk

I was at a festival and one of the crowd threw a bottle of wee - guess who got hit in the back of the neck with it, as the lid flew off and it sprayed everywhere?

MissA Yes. Nice.
