eyes in the center of the storm. paul mccartney traveled with his now famous hofner bass and his 35mm pentax camera. the images now on display are from his personal collection. curator sally martin katz describes what sir paul captured. he had no way of knowing what the journey would be like and what these photos would later mean, 60 years on. >> absolutely. these photographs throughout the exhibition were taken during the height of beatlemania, but there we're experiencing it as they're discovering their superstardom. so we, as visitors get to come along for the ride. and that's really exciting. >> and mccartney turns his lens to both the journalists that followed the band everywhere and his fellow beatles. i had the chance to see the exhibition myself in london a couple of years ago, and to experience the unfiltered joy and unrelenting pressure from their perspective that they must have felt with their sn fame. all of the pictures you see taken by paul mccartney are
6:48 pm
the same here at the deyoung museum, but they've been arranged a little bit differently to tell the story in a unique way. sally worked with mccartney's team directly to form this exhibit, from the iconic appearance on the ed sullivan show to soaking up the sun in tropical miami. >> some of these pictures actually resemble, you know, holiday snapshots or show, you know. vacation photos. vacation photos. he's a tourist. i mean, this this was his first time coming to the us. and you have to think they're also 21 years old. these are for, you know, best friends who are 21. so the pictures are playful. they're whimsical. >> sir paul's true achievement may be to have captured all of the chaos and energy of beatlemania, and frozen the feeling in place for a new generation of fans six decades later. >> yeah. >> it's just great. yeah. the paul mccartney photo exhibit opens to the general public on saturday. it's expected to generate a lot of excitement.
6:49 pm
the deyoung is advising visitors to book tickets on the museum's website to make sure that you can share in the fun. it is really well worth your time. >> yeah, and you may want to be indoors in a couple of days because the weather's changing. >> sandy is back with a forecast. >> that's right. ama and dan let's take a look at live doppler seven. right now it is all quiet, but we will be seeing some rain on here come this weekend. let's check out the temperatures for tomorrow. once again, a warmer than average. you're going to see a lot of low to upper 70s. enjoy the warmth because friday those temperatures start to trend lower. you'll still see some 70s, but then look what happens on saturday. it's a reality check. 5060 sunday. even cooler weather as rain gets in here. a look at the projected rainfall. early estimates about a third of an inch to about three quarters of an inch. and here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. warmth continues tomorrow. still mild on friday, but cooler weekend. oscar sunday. it's a level one. we have a one for monday and again on wednesday. dan and ama.

50, 55, 60 million a year. the negotiations were confirmed today by 40 niners general manager john lynch. he is in indianapolis for the nfl combine, which begins tomorrow. now, lynch also said the 40 niners will honor deebo samuel trade request. deebo numbers were way down last year. just 51 catches and 15 games, three receiving touchdowns, one rushing. i mean the niners. ideally they'd love to keep deebo. but the money just doesn't work out, especially with what you're paying brandon aiyuk deebo is owed a $15 million bonus on march 22nd. so this has to be resolved before then. and the niners may be forced to just release him if they can't come up with a trade partner. lynch said letting go of deebo will be hard. >> there's a lot of love there. there's a lot of respect there. there's a lot of shared experiences. so to let that go,
6:54 pm
that's difficult. but like i said, time happens and, you know, if it makes sense for both sides, you you at least you at least give it a chance. and so that's where we're at. we want brock to be our quarterback as long as we're here and beyond. and we'll leave it at that. i think the final thing, there's no guarantees that we get something done. but my experience has been when both sides are motivated, there's ample opportunity to do so. and we've we've been able to do that. >> the nfl players union released their team report cards, and the 40 niners dropped from sixth last year to eighth overall this past season. but the worst rankings for the niners 21st in training room and 25th in training staff, which is not good for a team that was plagued by injuries. and, you know, maybe that's part of the reason why players mentioned the sauna frequently breaks. got to get that fixed. the warriors flirted with the idea of bringing kevin durant back to the bay, but k.d. wanted to stay
6:55 pm
in phoenix and the dubs are six and one since acquiring jimmy butler. so everything worked out for everyone in this situation. durant is most likely going to be traded in the summer because the suns have this huge payroll. they may not even make the playoffs. they're just in a swoon. kd appeared on the draymond green podcast and explained his reasons for wanting to stay with the suns, at least for now. >> i get why y'all want to trade me. and you know, y'all looking at it just from simple fact that's just business. but from me looking at it i'm just like it just don't make sense for either side right now to go go through that. you know what i'm saying. when we just play the season out and if that's the decision you want to make, you know, in the off season, then, you know, you figure it out. >> so be it. >> it's just such a big change to make. and i've been through it before. i was like, damn, this. not really. >> it be interesting to see where he ends up this saturday. we know where the warriors are going to be. they take on the philadelphia 76 ers that game in philly. our coverage starts at 5 p.m. tip off at 530 followed by after the game. let's get you some
6:56 pm
baseball highlights here. cactus league action giants and the cubs. they combined for 24 strikeouts. jordan hicks on the mound here with three of them in an inning of the third second inning. here it comes. and there it goes. uh- the cameraman. this is like me shooting a baseball game right there. that was a two run homer by casey schmidt. take my word for it. and in the fifth, yara encarnacion with a double off the. where's the ball? where's the ball? oh, i found the ball. where's the ball? this game would end in a44 tie. it's actually really hard shooting baseball with a single camera. it's not. it's, you know, not that easy. but you would hope you find the ball somewhere. and on the purdy situation, he doesn't strike me as the type of guy who's going to say i want to be the highest paid quarterback in the nfl. but you get the agents involved, and the agents don't want him to take a below market deal, because then it's a bad reflection on them. so it may it may be, you know, 60 million. well, it's you know, it's. >> going to be good. whatever. >> it's i mean, to go from 1 million to 50 or 60 generational wealth either way.
