As did SHOUT!
And BestBeat ...
And Hard Day's Night ...
It's like the single guitar method is the way to go for tribute bands!
... ... Or even just for jammin' in the park!!! Sheesh!
.
And there's no lack of "How To" videos for Your Bird to Sing!!! Lawd, have mercy!
The Beatles with Jimmy Nicol on drums

I don't think it looks much like him, myself, but it's claimed they de-aged Sir Paul for this!
Personally, I think they just digitally re-worked the face of a much better dancer to make it somewhat resemble a young Macca. It could be his frugality skrimped on CGI costs! What do you think?
At any rate, it's not nearly as good a de-aging job as Disney did recently on Mark Hamill to make a young Luke Skywalker in the last season finale of The Mandalorian on Disney+.
Nor as good as Lucasfilm did with Princess Leia in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, though they started with a different, younger actress.

I though that was Beck made to look like Paul. Maybe I need to look again
A little Beatles inspired tune I've been working on.

But this reminds me of the biggest reveal that was news, to me at least, when Paul said he had wanted to be the lead guitarist, but he blew his big chance when he just froze onstage! I don't remember ever reading that before! Mr. Cool, sleepy-eyed Beatle got stage fright?!? Granted, they were very young and hadn't become famous yet, but he was (at least then) just human after all!!

That’s a Hamburg story I’ve read a couple of times, including a few days ago in “The last days of John Lennon”

I just found this blog by Paul's brother, Mike, about their early life together. I found it very interesting. YMMV

I just began watching...the morning after I watched the 1st episode is when it dawned on me...it's in B&W.
"And Your Bird Could Sing"
I recall a Joe Walsh interview in an old Guitar Player. When he was a young player, Walsh talked about learning the guitar part(s) on "Your Bird". Hours & hours before he was satisfied he got it. It was a ball buster. When he gets to the point in his life when he meets George Harrison...he shows Harrison how he does it & asks if it's correct. George basically sez it was double tracked. Walsh was not happy.

I befriended the guys in RAIN back in the mid-80's when Joe Bithorne was playing the George role (which he did for several decades.) Watching & listening to him play both guitar parts simultaneously was a treat, and likely turned a LOT of people onto the brilliance of AYBCS, including me.

I went to amazon to pre-order the new 50th anniversary All Things Must Pass. The deluxe 3CD package is lacking, there are a total of 18 songs, six on each CD, the third disc is outtakes. I go over to iTunes and for a couple of dollars LESS, the super deluxe digital package includes 70 songs.
There are a number of packages but there’s something odd with their grouping and pricing.

Yeah, I see what you mean, beanie.
There appears to be several different packages, just on Amazon, depending on if you search in the CDs & Vinyl department or the Digital Music department. And the prices between vinyl sets seem dependent on which department, too! There appear to be various "regular", Deluxe and Super Deluxe packages. Some MP3 packages cost almost as much as the CD version while some are a lot less!"My momma told me, ... it pays to shop around!"

I've since found a few references to Paul flubbing the lead guitar job on a song in his debut with The Quarryman at a meeting of The Conservative Club in Liverpool, a kind of high profile appearance at the time! To quote "The Last Days of John Lennon" :
John invites Paul to play a gig with the Quarry Men at New Clubmoor Hall in Norris Green, the northern part of Liverpool—a good distance by bus from where they all live. They open with “Guitar Boogie” by Arthur Smith and His Cracker-Jacks. The guitar solo is easy to play, a simple twelve-bar. But not only is this Paul’s first time playing with the band, it’s also his first guitar solo ever. Onstage, John and Paul take turns singing. When one leads, the other harmonizes. John’s strength is holding the lower key; Paul’s voice is more suited for the higher range. Paul starts his guitar solo. His fingers won’t move. It’s like they’re stuck to the fret board. Paul fights his way through it until his round face is flushed. Wet. After the show, everyone is looking at him, and he’s frightened. Yet he’s resolute on one point. “It wiped me out as a lead guitar player, that night,” Paul says. “I never played lead again onstage.”
A very humanizing story!
