Paul McCartney marries Linda Eastman MARCH 12, 1969 “We were crazy. We had a big argument the night before we got married and it was nearly called off. We were very up and down, quite funky compared to the eventual image of ‘Twenty-five years of married bliss! Aren’t they lucky for people in showbiz?’ But we are. You get this picture of us swanning along in a little rowboat managing to avoid the white water, but we were right in the middle of that white water, man, so it’s even more miraculous that we made it. But we did.” - Paul McCartney

JANUARY 30, 1969 The Beatles Rooftop Concert “I love how people view the rooftop as some big event, but it’s just that they had nowhere else to go.” — Giles Martin

JANUARY 30, 1969 “I love when Paul jumps up and down on the plank, to see if it’s going to hold his weight. He comes across being as hard as nails. They’re all complaining about the cold, but he’s wearing less clothes than anyone else. He’d like to do a two-hour set—impervious to any temperature whatsoever.”— Giles Martin

RingoStarr: Man, this beautiful day is getting better and better we were at the Stella McCartney rollerskating party. What a time we had go get them, Paul, peace, and love.

FEBRUARY 7, 1964 It is arguably the most decisive day in the history of The Beatles. At 11:00 a.m., the group and their entourage boarded Pan Am flight 101 at London’s Heathrow Airport and embarked on the trip that would change the world forever. This was their first journey to America, and they were on the way to make their groundbreaking appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Fading in the distance behind them was their native England, the country they had taken by storm throughout 1963. One must remember that this was The Beatles’ first trans-Atlantic ‘voyage’ and they were like young guys just having a grand old time…Our four-some were not particular to any choices of entrees, just saying, ‘I’ll take whatever’. Paul was the most active of the group, not only talking to others, but also photographing passengers and crew alike. John was the quietest of all while Ringo and George seemed to be enjoying themselves, moving around and talking with other passengers. (x)
