Welcome Back 2Legs Faithful! As we close out another month, this week we are happy to share this episode with you, which we've called "Flowers In The Ground"!
We've discussed how these albums pair up against each other and if we had to make one album out of the two what would that album look like. Using the Beatles 14 songs per album approach we widdled Flowers and Off The Ground down and titled it "Flowers In The Ground"!"
We did this once with Tug of War/Pipes of Peace and we felt this would be a fun exercise to do. Many of our viewers/listeners feel strongly about this period in Paul's touring career, one that given his touring since 2002 has kind of fallen by the wayside despite having a really talented backing band with Hamish Stuart, Robbie McIntosh, Chris Witten, Blair Cunningham and of course the ever present Wix Wickens! What would your "Flowers In The Ground" look like? Let us know in the comments! This will be our final show until the Chicago FEST! See you there!
Peace! Andy & Tom

This past week Paul's Pre-Sale for the 2025 Fall North American Tour was announced and on Tuesday diehard fans like us all tried with a myriad of mixed results! Ticketmaster and their "Dynamic Pricing" was a hot bed issue. For this special episode we invited members of the 2Legs Family to join us and share their experiences.
Thank You to MVP, Joan, Beatley Tone, Boyan, James, Jeremy and Ted for sharing your ticketing saga! We also pointed out the fact that several content creators incorrectly are blaming Paul for 3rd party exorbitant pricing.

Episode 285: "One Album: One Word"
A fun one this week! For Episode 285 Andy and Tom play a fun little exercise called "One Album, One Word", where we go through Paul's discography (Main canon albums + Electric Arguments) and describe it using an adjective! We open with tour rumours (we recorded this before the announcement on Thursday) and then get to it! What word would you use to describe these same albums? Let us know in the comments below! See you "Out There!" Peace Andy & Tom

"Ding Dang" | A Tribute To Brian Wilson | Andy & Friends
Hello 2Legs Family,
We have a very special one-off non Macca episode to share with you. As most of you know Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys recently passed away in June 2025 at the age of 82. His music has had a profound effect in the development of Andy's musical education along the way. For this episode, Andy paired up with Jonathan Petrus (Ranking The Beatles) and vinylbenjy (of Instagram fame) as all three of us have a shared love and passion of Brian and The Beach Boys music. We share our Beach Boys origins, some deep cut favourites, and lastly our Top 10 Fav's! In the comments, let us know your Top 10! Thanks to Jonathan and Benjy for hopping on for this special tribute. You both brought back many memories! We are a Paul channel, and we know his love of Pet Sounds we feel this was a worthy special episode to drop here because of the significance, love, joy and creativity that Brian Wilson brought us.
Love and Mercy
Andy -

Episode 284: Interview Archive Series | 1987 German Interview
Welcome Back 2Legs Fam!
This week we present another Interview Archive Series with Macca. When we do this we try to cherry pick rare and not often seen/discussed interviews. It's late 1987. Paul is riding the wave of success of his 2nd career spanning compilation "All The Best!". He has also been making the rounds on TV shows in Europe to promote his top selling single 'Once Upon A Long Ago' (also included on the UK "All The Best!" only). In the (audio only) interview conducted by Stefan Schlabritz & Slizzy Bob we hear Paul joke about his skills in the german language, the tracks chosen for All The Best!, working with Elvis Costello and Chris Witten to start a new band, and Once Upon A Long Ago. He also discusses his Sgt. Pepper nostalgic pastiche "Return To Pepperland" and compares it with George's 'When We Was Fab'. Something not heard again much from Macca. He also outlines the vision for what will become "The Beatles Anthology" documentary was was only a few years away from happening.
We close out the episode with an alternate mimed performance of 'Once Upon A Long Ago' from the German TV Programme Wetten Das.
See you guys after the 4th of July!
Peace Andy & Tom
