    Concerts for the People of Kampuchea was a series of concerts featuring Wings, Queen, the Clash, the Pretenders, the Who, Elvis Costello, and many more artists which took place at the Hammersmith Odeon in London during December 1979 to raise money for the victims of war-torn Cambodia. This was the last time Wings performed together.

    Always enjoyed this chapter in Paul’s life … reminds me of a simpler time just about to become a teenager with floor to ceiling posters of Wings and The Beatles in my bedroom growing up in Southern California.

    Thanks Jon for another great video. Looking forward to you covering Wings from 1971-1979, from the album "Wild Life" through "Back to the Egg".

    I never did see Wings but did see Paul McCartney (wingless) at the SkyDome in Toronto in 1989. WINGS OVER AMERICA is one of my favourite live albums. Thanks for posting this.

    Thanks for sharing this better quality version mate. One day (I hope), Paul will release this & the other clips he did in this period in HQ as maybe part of his 'Back to the egg" Deluxe set. All the best. GAZ (Melbourne/Australia_

    Great video. Thanks for posting. But did I see a mis-match in the vocals at 9:55. He says "nearly" before the chorus, but his lips don't move. Overdubbed in the studio, possibly, or he did sing the word "nearly" without moving his mouth.

    Jon, you are a an experienced and knowledgeable music journalist. I wanted to ask you what your thoughts are about George Michael who passed away a few years ago. Here in the UK over Christmas he was back at number 1 in the music charts with Last Christmas. How does he honestly compare with the other big music artists that you often write about? Was he somewhat over-rated? What is your assessment?

    Too bad this tour did not make it to U.S. It is a good lineup, and Paul's voice is in top form. Just read "The McCartney Legacy Vol. 2, 1974-1980," which puts this part of his life in context.

    Just a bit of trivia…do you know what Paul was referring to when he wrote this song? It wasn’t about getting a girl into his life… he was talking about marijuana! Funny, but true! 😊

    This is definitely Kampuchea show. Paul's answer to George's Concert for Bengala Desha show. And another failed attempt for a Beatles Reunion.

    When McCartney was still at his very peak. That’s the benefit of hindsight.
    He is a very talented man, but still - let’s be honest.
