Tom, David and Special Guest Kit O'Toole continue talking more talk on Paul McCartney's "Press To Play" album.

https://2legspodcast.podbean.com/e/flaming-pie/ "Flaming Pie" May 30, 2017 2Legs is back! 20 years ago (yes 20!) and fresh off the heels of The Beatles Anthology Paul McCartney released one of his best albums to date. Join Tom Hunyady and David Gargalino as they discuss 1997's "Flaming Pie!" With no album needed for two years Paul was able to take his time and write and record at his own leisure. While doing so he had the help of Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne and Steve Miller, as well as Linda and son James. The result ended up being one of his most fun and critically acclaimed albums!

http://2legspodcast.podbean.com/e/two-magpies/ "Two Magpies" October 27, 2017 2Legs is back! Tom Hunyady and David Gargalino have 2 topics in this (extra long) episode. First David gives his review for Paul's One On One shows in the new "Little Caesars Arena" in Detroit, Michigan. David went to both shows and had a great time! In the 2nd segment David and Tom discuss eight songs that Paul recorded under a differant name or helped out with on someone elses (or one of his own) projects. As Tom discussed at the end of this episode, he was working the event in Vegas where the shooting took place and he wants to give a special shout out to Don Maley, Edward Crawford, Kit O'Toole and of course David for reaching out and checking up on him from time to time. It was much appreciated! As always we would love to hear from you. Email us at 2legspodcast@gmail.com, write on our Facebook page at 2Legs A Paul McCartney podcast or follow us on Twitter at @2Legspodcast Next up, another author! ===================== Post-show disclaimer: Listeners - please do not confuse my analysis on certain things as being judgy or over-critical. I presented my subjective experience of both shows while interjecting some objectiveness on certain aspects of the show. This is my 7th show in 15 years - I adore Paul and his band. He is the best in the business and gives you 3 hrs of songs and storytelling - giving other bands a run for their money at 75! I hit on certain points that have been touched up by others; fans & other podcasts. My concert audio was for reference and was played via another computer speaker into the vocal mic I was using for the show. This was purely to illustrate examples: be it great, good and/or average. He did fantantic with a 4/5 day break and did well for the follow up on the following night. I would never challenge one's own experience or opinion - Tom just interviewed me for my overall experience of both nights. I hope to see Paul one day again as I've always have - just hope it won't be too long from now.
