Great story.
I've been extracting clips for a "Cape Thing" collection. Not only when it began, but what brought it about. Tonight I found the first time the band played the Al Kooper classic. It was an unplanned performance, inspired by what guest Richard Dreyfuss had said minutes earlier.pic.twitter.com/Sd4isyFK5j

"Cape thing"? Gawd I hope you mean when someone (Biff?) comes out & puts a cape on Paul in the style of James Brown! Thos were GOLD.

Yeah. There were 69 of them. Folks will either fall in love or revile hearing portions of Kooper’s song so many times. There’ll be a bonus video at the end, plus, maybe, JB’s 1964 performance at T.A.M.I.

In the small world department, I was the editor on Mr. Dreyfuss Goes To Washington.

Dave is having a suit custom-made. "Paul?" Dave asks, in the middle of his banter with the tailor during the fitting. "Why are you playing 'House Of The Rising Sun'?" Paul stops and quotes a verse: "'My father was a tailor, he sewed my new bluejeans'." GENIUS.

A week during the 1988 writers strike. Then there was this: https://youtu.be/D7mHqmn5dfs

You must have hundreds of stories about when Paul played the exact right song for a situation.
