Candid and lovely pictures of Paul McCartney and Mal Evans, a gentle giant. I believe Mal was so important to the Beatles and very loyal to them. And he especially loved Paul.

I would love to read Mal's book if I ibelieved that it had not in fact been tampered with and retouched. After all, Mal was murdered days before his book was delivered for publication and it was published only decades later when Mal was no longer with us.

In March 1974, John began producing Harry Nilsson's "Pussy Cats" album in Los Angeles. Considering the poor drinking habits of both Lennon and Nilsson, Lennon thought it would be a good idea for the musicians to live under one roof to ensure they would get to the studio on time, so May Pang (John's girlfriend at the time) rented a beach house in Santa Monica for her, Lennon, Nilsson, Ringo Starr and Keith Moon to live. Mal Evans, the roadie of The Beatles in the 60s, was appointed assistant producer🌼🎍🌼

After the first night of recording, on March 28, special guests showed up at the Record Plant Studios: Paul and Linda McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Bootleg recordings from the session were later released as the album A Toot and a Snore in '74. It is the only known instance of Lennon and McCartney recording together since the break-up of the Beatles🍀

Photo 4, taken on April 11974 at 625 Palisades Beach Road, Santa Monica by Peter 'Dougal' Butler; featuring Keith Moon in between John and Paul, is believed to be the last ever photo of the two together🍁

'True to his nature, and in one of the many bizarre happenstances that visited his short life, Keith Moon, also a house-guest at 625, happened to be in the middle while Linda, on the left, looks like she's about to bash him over the head with a pool cue🪴

Using his Polaroid camera, Peter 'Dougal' Butler, Moon's long-suffering PA, was believed to have taken the photo later than the other shots from the same day. It first appeared in his book Moon The Loon, published by Star books in March 1981, but the caption beneath it did not draw attention to its importance which suggests that neither the publishers nor Dougal had any idea of its significance at the time nor, indeed, for many years afterwards!💐

This was not however the last meeting between John and Paul, which happened on April 25th 1976, but no photos were taken🍃

Hold up ,,, Mal called Paul his love in his diaries?

Yes. In his autobiography. He also analyzed their relationship in his diaries. For some context, here's a longer passage from Ken Womack's book, Living the Beatles Legend (Chapter 31).

As January 1970 came to close, Mal began drifting into an emotional slide that had been developing over the past several years. "Seem to be losing Paul," he wrote on January 27. "Really got a stick from him today. He let me down," and ominously added "Fixing a hole," "Pepper," and "directorship" to a growing list of disappointments. Apparently, the conversation had turned yet again to the issue of Mal's servile role in Paul's life, with the roadie believing that the association was bounded by friendship and love. "A servant serves," Mal wrote, "but he who serves is not always a servant," he added, echoing John's philosophy from December 1968. "Love is as sharp and piercing as a sword, "Mal reasoned, "but as the sword edge dulls — you sharpen it. So love's keenness needs honing — needs honesty." *

[...]

On February 11, Mal joined John and Yoko for a lip-synched performance of "Instant Karma!" on Top of the Pops, with the roadie, clad in beige suit and a light-green tie, playing the tambourine. By this juncture, Mal's long-standing relationship with Paul was in freefall. A few days earlier, he have been awakened by a 1 p.m. telephone call from the Beatle. It went "something like this," he wrote in his diary:

Mal: yeah? Paul: I've got time at EMI over the weekend. Would like you to pick up some gear from the house. Mal: Great, man. That's lovely. Session at EMI?! Paul: Yes, but I don't want anyone there to make me tea. I have the family – wife and kids there. Mal: [thinking to himself] Goes my poor head, "Why????" **

By the next week, Mal found himself behind the wheel of the Apple van, moving Paul's gear from EMI Studios to Morgan Studios, another Northwest London facility where Paul could work incognito. At one point, Neil cornered Mal about Paul's surreptitious recording sessions, demanding to know more. "Where's Paul?" he asked, to which Mal tersely replied, "Not telling you."

In other instances, Mal ordered a Mellotron for Paul, while keeping him fully stocked with plectrums and other gear. In late February, Paul asked Mal to move everything back to EMI, where he was set to record "Maybe I'm Amazed" in Studio 2. For Mal, everything came to a head at 7 Cavendish Ave., when "my long love, Paul, to whom I have devoted so many years of loyalty, turned around to me and said, I don't need you anymore, Mal." *** *, ** : Evans, "Diaries."

The Beatles behind the bar at the Wimbledon Palais, London, to shake hands with fans before a special performance for members of their Southern Area fan club. 14 December 1963.

'The strangest of these occasions was the Southern Area Fan Club Convention on Saturday, December 14. In a never-to-be-repeated marathon flesh-pumping experience The Beatles shook the overheated hands of almost 3,000 Beatle People in the space of a few hours. We took over Wimbledon Palais - probably the best-known ballroom in London in its heyday - for the event, and filled the place with invited club members chosen at random. The Beatles stood for several hours behind the ballroom’s long wooden bar, leaning across to be kissed by their fans or to sign autograph books. Considering the high excitement of the situation, the fans were well-behaved. Neil and Mal acted as security guards, keeping the seemingly endless queue moving along and occasionally untangling a Beatle who had become hopelessly enmeshed with an over-excited fan.'

- Tony Barrow, John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me (2005)

After these close encounters with the Fab Four, the fans were treated to a special stage show in the main ballroom area where an overprotective Palais management had constructed a high-walled metal cage inside which the group were to perform on an extended makeshift stage beneath a huge banner that screamed: WIMBLEDON PALAIS WELCOMES THE BEATLES. Welcomes? The cage didn’t make it look like that! In my lengthy preparatory discussions with the Palais people they had seriously understated their plans to surround The Beatles’ stage with metal barriers for the protection of both the boys and their fans. When we saw the reality of the monstrous structure we were furious. The Beatles threatened at first to walk out unless the whole intimidating barricade was demolished and there were mutterings about “prison conditions” and “more like a zoo than a dance hall”. Eventually, for the sake of their fan club members, they went on and gave an enthusiastic mini-concert. During this, as the crowd surged forward pinning those with a place in the front row against the cage, John remarked in a loud stage whisper: “If they press any harder they’ll come through as chips.”
