Why is it that some recorded live concerts sound so good and some sound weak I love “Joe Cocker Live.” It just sounds so good.

This whole show is one of the greatest concert videos of all time!!!

I was at the 76 show in Los Angeles and this by far is the best concert I've ever seen. The energy from beginning to end was just nonstop. When he started Venus and Mars and they went into rock show and then from Rock show went straight into jet the crowd went nuts. Excellent concert.

ABOLUTELY!!! I was at the '76 show in Detroit! It had been 10 years since I saw Paul with the Beatles on Aug. 14, 1966 in Cleveland (saw them first, also in Cleveland , my home town, on Sept. 15, 1964, I was 17 that year).

Wings was at the top of it's game at this point. The addition of Jimmy McCullogh put them over the edge. More Wings please.

The four guys in the back are the horn section. Everytime they showed them playing, you had your eyes closed. Great, great show. I was so lucky to have been able to see it live in 76.

And Medicine Jar is great...

John Bonham recommended Joe English as a drummer to Paul and I know he attended at least five of these shows

Linda played a big part in Wings' sound, both on keys and vocally.

I saw him in Toronto back in 1976. Couldn't get tickets as the show was sold out. I told my girl that we are getting scalper tickets, cheap ones. I negotiated with a scalper two floor seats 8 rows back. The pair cost me $130. Back in 1976 that was a weeks pay for my nurse girlfriend. Sale price on the tix was $9.50 each. I told her I paid 40 bucks lol. But the show was unforgettable and Paul was in fine voice. When he sat with the others to do his acoustic part people were very emotional. Bluebird, Blackbird, I've Just Seen A Face and then made everyone emotional singing Yesterday. I will never forget it...

You have to see “Soily”from this concert!! Amazing Paul vocal performance… and it rocks hard!! The end of the show closer!!

Paul still plays a great 3-hour Rockshow, I saw him in 2019 along with Ringo and Ringo's brother-in-law Joe Walsh.

What a BADASS! The Beatle... The Wing... The Solo Artist... Paul McCartney! Wings was a SOLID band...

"Magneto and Titanium Man" is a great gem from McCartney and Wings where Paul indulges in song his love for superhero comic book heroes/villains. Thanks, it's always fun to listen to any song from this album. Short story - I was concessions manager at several CNE concert events in the early nineties and while walking down a corridor to get from one end of the stadium to the other I see this golf cart coming towards me. To my amazement I saw Paul and Linda + the driver riding by just mere inches from me. In true typical Canadian fashion I put on my best smile and a nod as they drove by, and they kindly returned the gesture and then they were gone.

I love Wings!!!!

Soily, last song of the concert. Fasten your seat belt for this one. Paul comes out swinging. The bass line, lead guitar drums amazing. You'll be speechless.

You definitely SHOULD watch this one! But, if you're going to watch more songs from this show, save it for last.

The girl I took to this show (an old friend from High School and avid Beatles fan) had a firm grip on my right bicep when Paul started performing and tightened her grip at various points in the show. I had bruises on that arm the next day. In 1976, this was before Internet when you could get concert tickets. When this tour was announced I was visiting near Houston when I saw a list of tour dates in a magazine and the first show was Ft. Worth. I cut my visit short and drove to Ft Worth and after many attempts of contacting FM Rock stations, I got no info on when tickets would go on sale. I drove back to Tulsa University sad and walked in the back of the frat house and was immediately approached by a grad resident who offered me two Wings tickets for the Denver show he couldn't go to. I paid him the $10 each he was out. It always seemed to work out for me when I wanted to go to one of the Beatles solo shows. It was pure Fate.

The reason you got the credits at the beginning is that this is actually the opening to the 1980 theatrical release, ROCK SHOW, which presented an edited concert from the 1976 WINGS OVER AMERICA tour.

Yes Paul McCartney is the GOAT! He is the best composer of beautiful and catchy melodies and riffs! The best! Yes you have to listen to Magneto and Titanium Man! It’s awesome!

There's nothing like a McCartney concert. His joy in performing just radiates off the stage. Years ago--even before VHS--I had a video DISC of this concert, and I absolutely wore it out.

Paul McCartney is the Greatest Songwriter & Singer & Performer of the 20th Century. That's not my opinion....that's Just The Way It Is. Prince comes a close 2nd. As a lifelong Beatles fan, when I first saw Paul 1990 (at the age of 26), I cried tears of joy throughout the entire 3-hour concert. I've seen him seven times since. His voice is complete SHOT now, but......PAUL McCARTNEY FOREVER 😃

This how Paul opened each show on the Wings Over America Tour

Paul's vocals hit well on this Rockshow '80

I was 6 when the Beatles performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show. Although I'm 65 now, The Beatles, Wings, and the other boys affected my life seriously. I couldn't wait until they would perform again on some variety show, but it was not often. There was a cartoon created during that time, which I watched whenever it was on and always enjoyed singing along with the songs. I went to their movies and was just heartbroken when I heard they broke up in the summer of 1970. I wanted them to get back together, hoped that they could. When Wings began, I certainly enjoyed the music, as well as the songs of the others. They were the "Thing". I've not heard Venus and Mars in a long time and was wowed by it. Even at my age, I can appreciate a song more and more, if I continue to listen often. The musicianship is simply astounding. "Gods" of music, certainly. Thank you for the reaction. : )

No one else has answered the question so I will: The horn section on stage were Howie Casey (sax), Steve Howard (trumpet), Thaddeus Richard (sax flute clarinet), and Tony Dorsey (trombone). Casey had played with McCartney for a few years and played the sax solo on Bluebird on the album Band on the Run.

Bruce that was a real treat. There was such an explosion of musicianship and songwriting once Paul was freed from the shackles of The Beatles. Awesome video.

Venus and Mars / Rockshow were the opening tracks from the "Venus and Mars" album. And Jet was the second track from "Band on the Run" The crowds at these shows went nuts. Afterall this was the first big scale USA Paul concert since the Beatles. Paul only did five Beatles songs in this show. Most of the show covered his Band on the Run, Venus and Mars and Speed of Sound albums. Paul played his Beatles Rickenbacker Bass (minus the stripped off psychedelic paint he added in the late Beatles)

Hard to believe this line up was formed after the album Band on the Run, which was recorded with just Linda and Denny. McCartney played bass, drums, percussion and most of the lead guitar parts. Then this tour with amazing musicians inspired by playing with Paul.

Not sure if you’ve listened to Let Me Roll It yet? His shows were magic. Nothing like him today . His shows could rock and then he’d sing a ballad. So versatile. Watch the video for 1985. I think you’ll enjoy it .

One of the greatest concert tours ever! You really have to see him live to realize how good he actually is!

I love the wings part of his career. Loved this lineup. And hey I'm a Beatles baby. I was 14 when they came to Ed Sullivan so I've had a lifetime. But this is one of my favorite Paul McCartney & Linda McCartney times. Hey if you happen to read this do mull of Kintyre

I saw this tour in Atlanta in May of '76. First laser lights I ever saw and only the 2nd time to see a flown PA system. The horn section was a good addition on several songs.

That was some serious fun.

Paul can absolutely bring it whenever he wants to. Another fave banger by him/them for me is 'Junior's Farm'.

You can say this about so many musicians but where would be without Paul McCartney? What a great live performance. My favorite song of his might be "Just Another Day". Not exactly a rockin' song but all too real for so many women.

Still have my ticket stubs for both of them. They didn't come to Cleveland in 1965 because our MAYOR BANNED them after the 1964 concert!!

That band was awesome this was remastered to a bluray!!

Wings was so vital during this period, "Venus and Mars, "Red Rose Speedway", and "Band on the Run" -- all great. Seems like I remember seeing Joe English's own band at Disney Land a few years later.

I saw Wings in 1976. Fabulous. McCartney is pure genius. Backseat of My Car, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five, Let Me Roll It, Call Me Back Again, rockers....then try more ballad like songs, Calico Skies, Every Night, Jenny Wren, to name a few.

The 4 guys in the back were a horn section that played with Wings that whole tour, and several years after that.

Man, I can't help but get excited watching this performance, it represents the best moment in Paul's solo career. He is the man who created Sgt Pepper and here he is playing the beginning of his album Venus and Mars using a similar concept of introducing his band, that energy and his voice are just abnormal. Furthermore, as a fan you have to know he was the Beatle who had the hardest time getting his career off the ground after the breakup of the Fab Four, but here he shows us again why he is a genius and why he is the KING OF THE MELODY. Please react to any other moment of that show, I bet you will love whatever is in that presentation.

a flash back to my teen years in the 70s

Yes I was one o' the lucky ones to see Paul McCartney two nights in a row 1990 in Berkeley, Ca. The band included Linda McCartney-keyboards 'n vocals, Hamish Stuart-guitar, bass 'n vocals, Robbie McIntosh-guitar 'n vocals, Wix Wickens-keyboards 'n vocals, 'n Chris Whitten-drums 'n percussion. They were so fantastic they brought the crowd to tears o' joy! It was an unforgettable experience...'n two nights in a row?...WOW!

Wings Over America top drawer live album/film. Every track a good 'un.

The five Beatle songs he did in this show were I've Just Seen a Face, Blackbird, Yesterday, The Long and Winding Road, and Lady Madonna.

Also Junior's Farm Live

From the same "Rockshow" film, the encore finale, "Soily". Or the other encore, "Hi, Hi, Hi".

Fabulous. Genius, yes. And i always think with Paul, value-for-money - so much invention, strong tunes, great riffs, and a generally jaw-dropping density of memorable moments all packed into a few minutes. I could say this describes his whole career. What other act delivers as much as Paul?

Recommendations: Again this is Wings over America. But I'm still pushing for live performances from 2000 onwards from DVDs "Back in the US Live (2002)". "The Space Between US" (2005) and Good Evening New York City (Citi field) (2009). This is the band he's still working with.

Venus and Mars is my fav Wings record. The outro to Rock Show is so nostalgic (now get your dress on!), deep cuts Spirits of Ancient Egypt, Call Me Back Again are some of the best Wings stuff IMO. Of course I love the lads, but there are plenty of times I'd pick Wings over them if forced to choose.

Great selection! Thanks Bruce D and Lee. :)

This was THE classic Wings line up ... Joe English was a monster on the drums. Jimmy McCullough was a hot guitarist but had a lot of trouble getting along with McCartney. Denny Laine somehow remained faithful to the Wings ideal for the longest - I guess he knew a meal ticket when he saw one. And of course, Paul and Linda made Wings what they were - the biggest band in the world at that time - 1974. This was a brilliant concert. My first major rock concert - Wings were sold out in Sydney in about 20 minutes. And that was before electronic ticket purchasing. People actually lined up at ticket outlets. My parents knew someone who worked for EMI and got a ticket to me for my 16th birthday, which was November 2, 1975. The concert from memory was November 9. And if you know your Beatles trivia, you might realise that the Beatles' final single, Now and Then ... was released - on my 64th birthday. 🙂

I'm so glad I got to see the Band On The Run tour. It was amazing and I got to see a Beatle live!

I saw this tour at The Forum in LA; we knew someone involved and had spectacular seats. It was absolutely fantastic. A few years ago, I played a benefit concert and Denny Laine was a guest - I got to play "Go Now" with Denny; thrill of a lifetime!

Give us “My Love” please, Lee. It may be a little twee but Henry Mc.Cullough pulled off one of the most perfect guitar solos ever played; up there with George Harrison’s “Something” or Dean Smith’s solo on Beefheart’s “Further Than We’ve Gone.”

I'm glad he gave the last phrase to Linda! I saw her with him in concert three times and. Heart aches from missing her. But by including her he showed his real genius. The backside of the album has "Standing in the hall of the great cathedral," live performances. Paul's bass was so loud m. Bo mm bones rattled. When you get your 300 dollar headphones. See how loud ou can get it: live is louder. 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks!!!

I saw this show at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The concert was totally sold out. I paid a scalper on the street outside the Gardens $ 50.00 for a ticket for a seat in the first row of the balcony. That was a lot of cash in those days but there was a rumor going round that the Beatles were going to reunite at the show which of course didn`t happen. But to this day it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I have never forgotten it. Their rendition of "Live & Let Die" at that show was one of all-time best live performances of a tune I have ever seen anywhere. I have never regretted the $ 50.00 I spent for the ticket that day.

Just plain badass! Great reaction once again to 2 great tunes...thanks man!

Jet is the second song on the album band on the run. The studio version is extremely well done it comes after the title track band on the run

Lee, Live & Let Die is pretty awesome on this live show. Magneto & Titanium Man is also on there. There's only five Beatles songs on there, but the whole triple album is great.

Man. I love the channel but what I really love is seeing how you react to McCartney now. In the beginning you didn't know what to expect but now whenever his name comes up you take is as a serious piece of music without hearing it first but because his name is on it you know it deserves respect. McCartney is the greatest song writer, musician, performer, front man ever. And that's before I even mention his amazing live vocal.

McCartney and his Rickenbacker bass... Its why I bought one

Paul is so unpredictable, and yes this rocks! What a joy to watch :)

The tour was called Wings Over the World ... and the album was called "Wings Over America" ... a great live triple album.

I now live in Chicago & Sir Paul was playing Wrigley Field. I still could have gotten standing room only tickets but my hubby said no. They were $300 after all. My brother lived 3 blocks away in Wrigleville. I ditched my family and sat on the sidewalk & listened. Another cool Sir Paul is Hey Jude at London Olympics.

The "Wings Over America" tour was the 1st Major Tour by an ex-Beatle in '75 . So it was a Really Big Deal . This Live album , titled "Wings Over America" is a great overview of Wings career to that point with plenty of Beatle songs . Very much worth listen to the whole album in one sitting .

I had the good fortune to attend the Wings Over America show in St. Paul, MN in 1976. It’s still my favorite concert that I’ve attended. You should check out the closing song from the show - “Soily”. It proves that Paul. Can. Rock.

I’d forgotten how incredible Joe English drums sounded - What a thumper - the toms 😮

The 4 guys were the horn section! Linda was indeed very good for being new to a band. There is a full length concert film Called Wings over America or Rockshow here on KZread as of a few months back.

I remember going to Kemper Arena in Kansas City Missouri in 1976 to see the Wings Over America concert, I was very happy to se a Beatle live in my lifetime, I was 17 at the time and I had hope that a Beatle reunion would happen one day 🙄🤔
