I found that rather sweet and you could state that the eyes and nose are something of a wide ranging McCartney trait.

That's fantastic Cor! I've heard of the James Paul McCartney film but I've never seen any of it. Imagine being in that crowd! When I was 12 or 13 I went with my aunt's family to visit my older cousin who was in college. She took us to Uncle Charlie's Pub, which had sing-a-longs on the weekends. That was so much fun! I noticed that one of the songs they were singing in the video, "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag", had a familiar line in it: "What's the use of worrying?" Maybe Mrs. Vanderbilt was there in the crowd!

Reminiscent of the p*** up on the coach in 'Magical Mystery Tour'!

Didn't Paul once or twice, at the height of Beatles' fame, go into pubs in the middle of nowhere and start playing the piano, or is that just an urban myth? 

Round our way, Rod Stewart was known to frequent the local pubs (I always missed him) and apparently he'd chat, sign things, and on leaving always instruct the landlord to get everyone in the pub the 'same again' on him.
So my mate says, anyway!

You can try and download it here from my Dropbox. It isn't a great version though and I'm sure there are better ones online.

Nice videos! It reminds me how much I loved Paul when I used to be a child.

I may be wrong but I'm fairly sure that clip of Paul in the Liverpool pub singalong is on one of the available DVD releases (Put It There? Wingspan? The McCartney Years? I might be wrong and I can't be bothered to dig them all out and check right now). But I know I watched it a year or two back; not on this forum and not even - I don't think - on the internet....

I do recall reading an interview with John about the '73 JPM TV Special in which he claimed to have found the pub knees-up segment rather embarrassing. But then I do think John quietly envied Paul's close-knit family ties a bit!!
