For me this was the best time for Paul. The band was tight and loose all at the same time. And they rocked. Jimmy McCulloch was such a great guitarist and really gave Wings their edge. He plys so good on the live stuff. I think Paul was having a lot fun with that band and did a lot to influence his song writing. It was just a great period for Paul.

Jimmy was my school classmate, when Thunderclap Newman fizzled out he joined a band called Stone the Crows with blues singer Maggie Bell. He replaced the guitarist who sadly died on stage electrocuted by wiring & a rain soaked stage. You will see him playing Blues in a concert, it's here on KZread. Wings then grabbed him & it killed him. It opened doors that he wasn't ready for & Paul's wisdom was ignored. He'd be here still. Wings done him no favours & the 2 songs on 2 albums would have made a tidy sum. No other Beatle, not Ringo! would have had a band member having songs on their albums. Paul was very kind to allow that then & in concerts too. Jimmy wasn't the greatest singer but he gets away with it quite well.

Funny with Wings, a mother & daughter would go to his concerts, mother a Beatles fan & her daughter a Wings fan, McCartney being the link.

Admire the way Paul went back to basics and built it all up again with Wings and his own solo recordings by 1976 he had an impressive back catalogue and body of work and he could put on a concert that was made up of mostly his post Beatles songs he was very much of the time. Saw him during this period and you went home with a big fat smile on your fave and songs like Live and Let Die, Let Em In, and Silly Love Songs still playing in your head. He was knocked during this period by the critics especially in his own country but look back now and see how great he was and how strong his songs were. Not all were classics but on every album there were nuggets of McCartney gold that matches anything he did before or after. Love him!

Got to see Paul for the first time. In 2002, it was amazing. When he came back “PHX” a few years later we brought all three of our boys. They were all in their early twenties and loved it. Now our oldest wants to bring his wife to see him ”again in PHX”. So he’s taking his wife along with his “us” mom and dad. Thing is last time we saw him I thought, well, that’s gotta be about his last world tour and yet here we are AGAIN. I love it. BTW, He said at the last concert when asked how long he’d keep going, he said they’ll be rolling me out in a wheelchair.

PM is the text book example of how to be a successful rock star. When everyone told him he was past it or his latest album wasn't any good or in interviews he always said the right thing with a sense of humour he just carried on regardless. He never let anyone's criticism stop him. He literally said if you can do better go ahead......and of course no one could. I admire the man for that. A lesson to learn.

As someone else suggested, the 70s really were an amazing time for music... just enough technology to realize the ideas of great artists, and before tech took over music and became the focus vs. writing. Pre-autotune and quantizing drum tracks etc. And as this person also mentioned, the prices were attainable for regular fans. These days, if you actually want to SEE the artists, the MINIMUM you'll spend for a seat is $150 (for a national artist). But the thing I perhaps enjoyed the MOST from this era was the cross-pollination between genres. There were myriad "radio stations" that crossed over into multiple genres and it was refreshing and eye-opening. Such a great time.

Finally free to lead his own band, ironically starting without one on his first solo album + Ram, then Wings: Wild Life, Red Rose Speedway, Band on the Run, Venus and Mars.

@@claudiodiaz8659 He means playing a guitar and singing isn't too hard for a pro however playing Bass is a whole different skill level. You are singing a melody but the bass lines are often moving around and providing another function. Its like being pulled two ways at the same time. I find it ridiculously difficult and distracting. Its easier to play piano than bass whilst singing and to add to that Paul's bass lines are very busy and very sophisticated all the time. With bass its like playing two instruments at the same time and they are doing two very different functions, not like chordal and singing as a guitar or piano would be because they support each other in an hierarchy but bass is wandering and often not playing the root but changing all the time.

So awesome. I love seeing Linda on those Moogs! Pure gold man.

MarkBarna1 Saw him a few months ago at Dodgers Stadium....best concert of my life!...4th McCartney concert.....at 77 I think he’s at his apex....Most youth LOVE him..attracts all age groups...of course he has an older voice, but better than 8 years ago!....helps that he has the best sound equipment at stadiums! I paid for 6th row center...no regrets...sheer happiness for rest of my life as well as my daughter 35💯 There’s no full 3 hour concert on KZread,😢 My daughter and I have taped Beatle Reunion that night (with Ringo on his own drums, Sgt Pepper and Helter Skelter) but not possible to tape 3 hours and enjoy the moment

His first album, McCartney,is a favourite of mine.

Wow....I just took a trip BACK to the seventies.....and it was mostly AWESOME!!!!!

Whoever uploaded this gem ... Thank YOU !!! I had not seen this since it's 1979 ( one time) tv showing. A truely remarkable documentary of one of Rock's GREATEST tours in history - Wings Over America 1976. Some INCREDIBLE behind the scenes footage 😎 Cheers to you, Sir Paul, Denny, Jimmy, Joe and RIP Linda. 🙋 Horn Section - Spot on ! 😏

Paul rocked it then and still now!! God Speed.

So many things have been and undoubtedly will be said about McCartney, I think one thing gets lost amongst the brilliance -- namely how much he clearly enjoys performing.

'Jet' and 'Im Amazed' - 2 of my favourite Wings songs. Also 'Band On The Run' is a good song.

Just before Silly Love Songs, l found myself wondering what John Lennon was thinking about the success of this tour???? Hopefully very happy for his mate. Would have been a nice change after all the s-t he had put on Paul in previous years. A question that l would love May Pang to be asked in one of her interviews.

What are the chances Paul McCartney would fall in love with a female photographer who would end up having the perfect backing vocals for their band?

Did Linda McCartney ever meet Cynthia Lennon?

Paul is a very amiable guy and I have never seen him act pretentious. He is secure enough in himself and his craft. I always enjoy his interviews. Great sense of humor and always sharp. My all time favorite musician. This film is really a must for any McCartney/ Wings fan. Love that Linda played with him. She was really underrated and really added substance to Wings music. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers

I was lucky enough to see the Wings Over America Tour at Madison Square Garden and I must say I think it was the best concert I ever been to . I have no idea why Wings aren't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame . McCartney should be the second person along side Eric Clapton to be inducted 3 times . Once with the Beatles , once with Wings , and once as a solo artist .

@@ShmuelWeintraub That`s a good point, but i think its outrages that they took Elvis to Las Vegas and had him do two shows a night for a whole month twice a year instead of doing stadium tours all over the world. They worked him to death in a relatively small venue in Vegas cause his manager liked to gamble. The Beatles were doing stadium tours in the mid 60`s.. Elvis was just as big as them, so why didn`t he do them in the 70`s? He might have lived longer and stayed more healthy if he had played fewer shows at bigger venues. And it would have been better financially too.

@DanFarrellmusic he's not playing!!! that's a soundtrack! Have you heard of Millie Vanilli?? you look at the songs "Get back" and also "Silly Love songs," for example... I can explain how he couldn't POSSIBLY be playing the bass line, the way he does this little light strumming/ stroking thing with his thumb...all other bass players either play with alternating index and middle finger, or (and a lot of guitar players do this) with a pick... this guy, "Paul" never plays with a pick.... I'm talking about TIGHTLY, FIRMLY grasping the pick....I've seen him reach up at breaks in the song and run his fingers through his hair....so he's NOT playing with a pick....so tired of people fawning over this phony!

Que alegria assistir novamente esse documentário. Assisti pela primeira vez na televisão, deve ter sido mais ou menos em 1983. Eu era criança, tinha 11 anos. Meu tio, que era um Beatlemaníaco, assistiu junto comigo. Ele me apresentou a música maravilhosa dos Beatles e das carreiras solo de Paul, George, Ringo e John.

Magnífico y breve documental de la historia musical de ésa fantástica gira mundial. Nunca había tenido la oportunidad verla en forma completa. Sólo la conocía a través de unas cuantas escenas en el video de "Silly Love Songs". 👍🏻

Paul es uno de los mejores músicos o mejor dicho el mejor de todos en su género, en toda la historia de la música pop desde los primeros años de los 60s hasta la fecha con su música tan versátil y ligera a dok con casi todas las personalidades y gustos , larga vida para.Paul

love guitarist Jimmy Mac!
