Love the soundcheck photo from 2014, Nancy. Simply gorgeous. The slate colored shirt he's wearing is a good color for him! Glad you were able to get a 3rd row seat, was a perfect spot for taking pics Also enjoyed seeing the Memphis photo!
The photos you took in Chicago are really great, Oobu! Have always loved his silver burns! lol That's a really good look for him, and wouldn't mind if he chose to go all silver, or gray

Standing in his backyard at 20 Forthlin. There is now a toilet behind that door and I got to use it during our tour of the house!

Thanks! In 2013, Memphis, I had 4th row. In 2014, Atlanta, was 3rd row. In 2017, Duluth, GA, was 4th row. All were in center. I couldn’t believe I got that one in-focus shot at SC in 2014 from about 25 rows back. In Memphis we were put further back, by the soundboard and I couldn’t get a good shot. Just using a small Canon point-and-shoot.

According to this video at
, this photo and several others were taken at the Asher home in London, after Paul began living there (1964-65). -

That's quite the face Paul is making.

Leslie, that YouTube of all the Paul pics says 1965, but my understanding was that those photos were taken April 14, 1966. Can’t remember where I got that info, though. I love ️ those pics!! The first one I had made into a cover for my cellphone!
This is the front of the house in 2011. The back is a garage, so I don’t know where the pics of him by the door were taken.
Needless to say, none of the family still lives there.

Now here is a forearm for you! Lol!

This is my cellphone cover!

Thanks for the info! I wondered about the dates too... Did he move to his own home in London in 1965? or was it later... he could always have gone back to the Asher home and had photos taken anytime of course, he didn't need to live there for that.
It's interesting to see in your photo that the house is so close to the street... there's no stairs or anything... doesn't seem that safe from prying fans, but most fans probably didn't know he was living there at the time.
That forearm pic... oh my goodness... *knuckles to mouth again* ... must have been around the time he filmed "Help!" when he was probably hitting the gym alot...
Edited to add: Love the pic you use for your cellphone cover! Doesn't look like it would be a comfortable pose for him for too long though, lol

Poor little guy, he was just used to being with family at the time, and probably didn't like strangers taking his picture... he'd have to get used to that later of course, lol

He bought the house on C****d*** in late 1965 and spent £40,000 renovating it (it was built in 1910) and he and Jane moved in around April 1966.
Fans knew he lived there, because he had to climb out on the roof, go across to a friendly neighbor and escape out their back!
The last forearm pic was from mid to late 1963. And he never hit the gym at all until much later in life!

Really? coulda fooled me, he looks great! But don't think there's ever been a time that he wasn't physically fit. He's always kept active and enjoyed a healthy lifestyle, and has followed a vegetarian diet for many years, so that's probably helped.

From that same photoshoot as my cellphone cover:

I thought Jane gave him that PAUL I.D. bracelet for his 21st birthday in 1963, but I could be wrong.
Yeah, he never had a weight problem, even when he was eating meat.

What a face! Circa 1950.

I remember reading somewhere about this photo, and it wasn’t the comics. It may have been the school newsletter or something to do with the school.
