trying to locate a McCartney TV special
-
On You Tube, there are a couple of videos related to Chaos and Creation In The Backyard. There is "Chaos and Creation At Abbey Road" where Paul performs before a small audience. And, there is "Creating Chaos" which was done at Abbey Road around the same time, but is more of a career retrospective. It only deals w/ Chaos tangentially. But - I clearly recall a TV special (on CBS in America perhaps) that showed Paul in the studio w/ his producer for Chaos, talking about each song on Chaos and how he approached it recording it. I don't know the name of the special and cannot find it on You Tube. I would love to watch it there or even buy the DVD if one exists. Any information about this special would be most helpful. Thanks!

"Creating Chaos" was the bonus DVD with the album when it came out and The Abbey Road Chaos was on PBS and is on the McCartney Years, there was no show on CBS , He may have done press for it around that time and they used clips..Hope that helps..
-
Good luck. I'm not aware of the last broadcast you mentioned; it sounds very interesting. I haven't even seen Creative Chaos.

www.cbsnews.com/news/now-hes-64/ maybe this?
-
I remember a video clip of "Promise to you girl" I wish someone have it or have the link to it.

Here is Creating Chaos on Paul's channel:
-
It may not have been CBS, but it was definitely a show focused on the album, with no audience. Just Paul, his producer and an interviewer, with segments of him recording portions of the songs on Chaos. They spent time on almost each song on the album. I can recall Paul explaining, for example, the English phrase "very twee" that he uses in "English Tea" because he knew most Americans would be unfamiliar with it. The mystery continues. Thanks for your help.

Paul is nothing if not educational. I used to think very twee was how a 3-year-old described their age.

I don't think that's Macca's official channel.

You are correct.

Here's the link to the Promise to your Girl video:
-
Thanks for the links, but in my original post I mentioned that I was aware of these videos, and they are not the special I am referring too. It will turn up one of these days, I am sure.
-
Actually the Promise To You Girl video cited above has very similar footage to the special I am referring to, showing the process of putting the songs together.
