Important announcement? Monday June 25th, Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia are going to be on Larry King Live. CNN?

Why, I wonder? And isn't it a shame they have to be guests of the most overpaid, overrated 'chat' show host on the planet.

No Heather Mills then?  

This, from Ringo's site. Unfortunately, I'm going to be in France...something tells me that it will be quite sad, though.


THE BEATLES LOVE BY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CELEBRATES FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison to join Guy Laliberté in dedication to John Lennon & George Harrison

Larry King to broadcast his show LIVE from The Beatles REVOLUTION Lounge at The Mirage

On June 26, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté will all take part in a special dedication ceremony in honor of John Lennon and George Harrison.

In May 2006 during rehearsals for LOVE, Paul McCartney and Guy Laliberté discussed how best to recognize John Lennon's and George Harrison's contributions to the show. Subsequently, Cirque du Soleil designers created two plaques that will be unveiled on June 26 and then permanently displayed in the LOVE Theatre lobby at The Mirage.

This event celebrates the one-year anniversary of LOVE and coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Following the ceremony, Larry King will interview Paul, Ringo, Yoko, Olivia and Guy for his one hour broadcast from The Beatles REVOLUTION Lounge at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Larry King Live airs on CNN at 9pm ET, 6pm PT. The distinguished guests will then attend a special one year anniversary performance of LOVE.

In the past year, LOVE has played to sold-out audiences, some of whom have discovered The Beatles music and their message of love for the first time. Celebrity guests such as George Clooney, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban, Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson have all seen LOVE and raved about their experience.

LOVE celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles and is presented exclusively at The Mirage in Las Vegas. The project was born out of a personal friendship and mutual admiration between George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté.

I'm definitely going to watch this,  thanks for posting!

Yes, I have heard about this interview. All of them in one show, it is going to be a sight!

I have to see that show... if it is the last thing i do.
  I wonder how much it cost to fly to vegas?

I'll start saving with you.......  

Damn, I wonder how impossible it would be to book a room at the Mirage on that date.

I'll look out for it on CNN. We won't get it live here, but maybe the next day. Shame it's it's that half wit Larry King that's doing it.

I want to see how Paul & Yoko interact together more than anything else because of the personal & professional tension between them.  

Anyone know when CNN International are showing this?

i think it's on in the morning in england. i think they have larry king on around ten o clock.

Actually it's on Tuesday night not Monday! can't wait!

i think it's on in the morning in england. i think they have larry king on around ten o clock.

That'll be Wednesday morning then. II:00 am here. Cheers.

Update:

Just seen a trailer on CNN for Larry King. In Europe the programme will be on at:

11 am CET wednesday
9 am GMT wednesday (that's 10 am British time)

It doesn't look like it's repeated as LK is on every day.

Just finished watching the show. If you missed it you didn't miss much. I know I'm a Larry King basher, but he really gets nothing out of his guests. His research seems to consist of reading the morning papers.

Ringo and Paul both wearing trainers with their suits was kind of amusing, as was the look of surprise on Olivia's face when Yoko 'revealed' that it was John that pushed to have Something released as a single. Apart from that Larry called Ringo George, couldn't pronounce Cirque du Soleil the same way twice, and shamelessly kept plugging his show with Paris Hilton at the end. He only asked questions that we already new the answers to, and read almost entirely from a script which never left his hands. A real pro!

Sorry Larry, but you should have been put out to grass years ago.

Sounds disappointing. I'm sure it will be on youtube soon.

It was very. But then I wasn't really expecting much from old Larry. Paul was quite subdued (for him), so Ringo got to talk quite a bit. They talk about George very fondly, but Paul still has trouble talking about John. Yoko was Yoko, Olivia was nice (as usual), and Larry was crap. That's about it.

Is this it?  (The rest will show up as soon as you're there)

Yeah, that's it

the interview was great...except the fact that Larry King interuppted Paul 5 times...

    The clips before and after the comercial breaks were amazing... and emotional...

The monumental plaques were beautiful!

Larry: So George....
Paul: This is Ringo!

Hehehe  

It was nice, Yoko was on her best behavior.   You can tell John's death is still hard on Paul, though. I enjoyed it.

i've to agree with bluemeanie... i wasn't impressed either of the interview. ... and so many commercials, i'm not used to that.

the clips were great of course   paul was lovely, he's a great entertainer. anyone else realised pauls shaking head when larry said that tomorrow there will be paris hilton in the show? ^^

Yes, haha  

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I missed the show, so I just played the YouTube clips. The moments you mention weren't on the snippets I've seen. Still, it's great to see the four of them together and hear the affection in their voices for one another.

BlueMeanie, I appreciate your comments about Larry King. Even in just the bits I saw, I saw Paul, veteran of a billion interviews, save him by clarifying the question, or Ringo jumping in with some anecdote that was actually interesting. So, good on our lads. They're still top quality.

Will do - ta!

^ Thanks, Swine. I'll keep looking for the whole show as well.

Raxo, thanks for the pics! Very nice. Is it just me, or is Sir Paul looking a little misty?

Yoko is the only person who could make Olivia look tall.

anyone else realised pauls shaking head when larry said that tomorrow there will be paris hilton in the show? ^^

... I was shaking my head too... I didn't think it was the best of ideas for him to say that  

Quoted from Flaming Pie in the Sky

I enjoyed it.

Yeah, me too! Paul and Ringo were great!   I liked Ringo's comment about the "three brothers" and all that... so sweet.
And as Blue Meanie said, Olivia was very nice (I don't think I ever saw her in an interview before).

Thanks for the pictures raxo! I actually missed this part because the phone rang! ... but I recorded it for K_E so I'll be able to see it when I watch it with her  

Yea Larry was a bit bleah. It wasn't very informative but what can you expect eh?

It was nice to see them all. And those clips- damn, what contrast! Amazing how time passes by...

A pleasure, harihead and Octie   ... have you already seen that part, Octie?

Marcelmassa has now posted the entire program on YouTube. The first segment is here:

A pleasure, harihead and Octie   ... have you already seen that part, Octie?

Yeah, I saw it yesterday... very touching... and now I understand where Flaming Pie's singnature quote comes from (I liked him saying that too... "wherever he is, he's smiling right now"...  ...)
