Another great vid! I wore out my vinyl of this back in the day. It was also my first Wings album. And in many ways, it was the only one necessary at that time. It's still one of my favorite live albums.

I'll tell you my story with this album. Goes back to the tour itself. The tickets for the concert went on sale on a school day, so my mom stood in line all day at the stadium for me and my friends. But, before she got to the front, they sold out. I was such a huge Beatles fan that I was crushed when I came home expecting tickets and my mom told me the news. Flash forward a few weeks before the concert and my mom surprises me. She's won two tickets to the show in a radio call-in contest. They are mailed to the house and I take a friend. The concert is only my second, and it sets the bar for the rest of my life. The only other performers I see play with the same energy and captivate an audience for an entire show are The Eagles Hotel California tour, The Who, Warren Zevon, War tour U2, Dylan when he's on fire, and Paul two more times in later years. Naturally, I relive the concert in this album for decades to come. I study audio engineering, train my ears and start to notice the overdubs put down on top of the live recordings. Glad you mentioned there were overdubs. Some people just can't believe it. That being said, the concert itself was incredible. Basically hit after hit with the cool rockers dropped in. The concert also had some rear-screen images for atmosphere (not yet standard), theater style lights on the stage risers, and those green concert lasers shooting out over the stage which were still relatively new and unusual. Perhaps my strongest memory of the concert was that the ending just left you stunned. After two hours of songs you knew, the band comes out on a darkened stage shrouded in fog with the green lasers flickering on and off and a strange rhythm you'd never heard before. Soily kicks in and your adrenalin shoots up another level because you have no idea what this all-out rocker is, those lasers you had never seen before are shooting all over the place, and you'r brain has nothing familiar to grasp on to at all. Your mind is truly blown. When the houselights come up, you hadn't just seen a concert. You'd had an experience. P.S. The radio station seats were on the right side of the stage, second row, about ten feet from Linda🤩
