i wake up in pain.

Paul with Julie Felix  (Heaven is Here) in 1967..

Apparently Dick Parry was a dream to work with on tour: kept to himself, never conflicted with anyone, was super pleasant, showed up on time and did a great job every night. Which put him in stark contrast to the band… 

On this day in 1969, I played the TV programme ‘Tous En Scene - Antenne Culturelle du Kremlin-Bicêtre’ in Paris with Led Zeppelin. ⁣The two songs that were featured in various TV shows and TV series to promote the bands work with reference to the first album were ‘Communication Breakdown’ and 'Dazed and Confused’. With some of these TV shows at the time, it became more obvious that wanting to perform our material live and the quality of the TV recording just wasn’t working - like mixing oil and water.

My idea is that you keep working. A lot of people want to get the hell out of the factory and retire. But I’m doing my hobby, so I don’t want to give it up. I’m going off now and I’ll pick up the electric guitar and play some rock and roll. I still feel the same thrill I used to feel. I’m allowed to play this really cool guitar through a brilliant amp and turn it up as loud as I like. I still love it, and it still seems like a privilege. – Paul McCartney (2009)          HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL! (JUNE 18, 1942)
