This was the peak of Wings. They were a fantastic band with many more hits than most people realize. This song brings me back to a happy time! Absolutely love it!
I BASICALLY DESPISE THE BEATLES EXCEPT FOR ABOUT AN LP'S WORTH OF TUNES.

I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH GOOD STUFF RINGO PUT OUT BUT NOT SURPRISED AT WHAT GH WAS CAPABLE OF DOING (CRACKERBOX PALACE, ET AL).
@@davedillon1372 I kinds get what you mean, early Beatles didn't make awful music. I just think it sounded a little boring and most of their songs have the same sound.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know what McCartney really thought about each of his respective Wings incarnations and the individual players, including Jimmy? The guy isn't for a moment in time candid....it's all very rehearsed and noncommittal ….
He is a great bass player. I don’t have great ears for music so sometimes I have a hard time hearing bass in the mix. The mix for this tour was perfect. I saw the Toronto, Ontario concert in 1976. Greatest rock show I’ve ever seen. They were tight, having fun, just spectacular. Man it was a lifetime ago.
Yes, that's a good observation. He knew when to go static on the lines, and then when to go melodic on the lines. His rhythm on the bass also pushes the song along, like an engine. As you astutely observed, Matt, Mac did a good job on that bass line. That was perfect for the song. Honestly, Jimmy could have farted over the top of that rhythm section, during the solo, and it would have worked.
Jim, Joe, Paul and Linda really hit on something special didn't they? Such a great combo. A shame Jim couldn't get past his addiction. At least we have a snippet of what Jim could have been.
God love Linda for clawing her hand in the medicine jar. RIP it iup Lady! You were mistreated by many. All you did is keep your husband happy. And Jimmy eas always brilliant. Both are missed.
The pleasure and de-lite on Paul and Lindas faces show the proud moment in the Wings evolution with Jimmy. I heard they were devastted when Jimmy quit Wings. Another great talent that couldnt get off the Horse.
The classic Wings lineup - Paul, Linda, Denny, Jimmy, and Joe. What a fantastic band. A shame it didn't last longer. Thanks for this great quality upload.
I agree. But , I think they went as long as they could. Paul's writing became so pop that Jimmy lost interest and was left out of playing lead. Still, a great , super talented band ( Yes, even Linda contributed).
I saw this concert. Years later, I am struck by how much they seem like a family. It was a wonderful show. I was with my husband and just 20, and 8 months pregnant! We were huge McCartney fans...I still am.
I saw this concert in 1976 Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens . I was also 20 . I just had my daughter in late April and the concert was early May. My fav song from a great band I just couldn't miss it. My top was soaking wet 15 minutes into the concert lol.I hadn't heard of "Pumping" at the time . I can relate to you lol . Glad you got a chance to go :)
That was their best line up ever, not many people come from the biggest band on the planet…..and then go on and do it Again !! …but this terrific track by Jimmy for me showed that Wings were a complete Band in their own right…I can’t help but get a lump in my throat though when I see Linda back there on the keyboards.
For my money this is the best cut on the whole album. Brilliant! 1:53, Paul shoots a wink at Linda before letting Jimmy have the front line to himself. 2:38 Linda diggin' the solo too!
Beautiful Young Man:❤ Sad Tragic:!! Wish It Hadn't Happened:!! Sweet Guy ❤ Jimmy McCulloch So Tallented:!! Love You Young Man:!!❤ R.I.P..Never Forgotten:❤🥀❤
Linda was a sexy firecracker. It's a shame she had to leave us, and Sir Paul in particular. He was truly in love with her and I think in some instances he still is.
Jimmy McCullough as the young gun in this band was such a cool part of the dynamic. He could really play and was an authentic rocker so he helped keep the bar raised high!
@@guruuDev How is this a coincidence? McCullough was Irish and Jimmy was a haggis man. Their names weren’t even spelled the same. Where’s the coincidence?

Presented ... In my opinion he would have become one of the greatest guitarists on the list! But the thing is unfortunately that some people, that would be the greatest one talent in life, is not enough! They apparently need to turn to different stimulants. There are good words in the song: Time heals, but very slowly .. Jimmy unfortunately just did not have enough time ...
I assume you're speaking of Buddy Holly--yes, he was also a colossal talent. I have often wondered, though...if he had lived, would the Beatles ever have come into existence?

How sad Jimmy McCullough is no longer with us. An excellent guitarist. He would have been the perfect replacement for Mick Taylor when Taylor left the Stones. Great tone, vibrato, taste level. This "kid" could play!
Time for a new comment-- The year was 1975/76 and I was a young rebel who thought that he knew everything... so i left New York city and headed down to Hallandale Florida for some sun, women, and gambling. Of course i brought my guitar, had a Strat, which i still play today, but along with some other ones. Jimmy was one of my idles. Alright so we all were 'dopes' back then, but who cared? Went to work at Dania Jai Jali punching tickets for the '' Telebet '' girls (30 of them and just me punching tickets, thank you Lord) at the Fronton. Joined a band and did some local clubs and different gigs here and there. I tried to play like Jimmy, but you can't do better than the best...Best time of my life! Women, money, music, mood changers, beaches, had it all... and lost it all gambling... But Jimmy was my inspiration so i finally realized you can't win at horses and other various gambling types of things i did. But my life is based on Jimmy McCulloch. He was about my age, and could play the sand off the beach! Then one day, i heard Jimmy died of a drug over dose,,, i couldn't believe, some (expletive deleted) probably gave him bad dope. So i will end it here, but just wanted you younger people to know that life was much better then than now. So any young rebels out there, you are not as smart as you think,,, i know you will have to find out the hard way like i did,,, but if you can, sell your bike and invest it in an education so you don't end up old and broke like me.
@@chrome50 Thanks, and like you said, "time moves on". So you are probably my age plus or minus... and a person does learn as 'old mother time' keeps moving (Probably on a Harley), we keep learning new things. But I certainly like the 'good old days' a lot more than the 'now days', since I have too many ailments to even start listing them. I guess we pay a price for having fun when we were young, but I wish it wasn't so expensive. (But then (and not to be prejudice) most of the women I have been with want nice things, and it is not in the dictionary, but nice means expensive!
It's funny and you can't get away from it , Paul was concerned about getting a guitar player for wings that wasn't a junkie, but here comes jimmy mac, it goes with the territory the best ones sometimes are he was handling it fairly well.
haven't watched this since I was a young bedroom guitarist, adoring the great PMC and not really paying much attention to how great Jimmy was. This cut really rocks. And more so I enjoy seeing PMC as a "Back up musician" on a cut. Playing some serious bass on this cut. What a killer band that was. I wish in some ways PMC would have chosen the route of sharing the lime light position, instead of just being the boss of a band. He seems to really shine when some one else is the center of attention. Almost as if he can kick back a bit and just have some fun.... Can't say it enough, this really kicks.
When the camera first locked in on Jimmy and Paul on the chorus, I picked up a John and Paul vibe... could have used a lot more of these two playing together- they clicked....
@@landonschertz2325 Whilst one could argue that, as you seem to imply with your comment, someone could accidentally O.D. and die first time dabbling with heroin/morphine and not be a junkie, Jimmy McCulloch was no stranger to heroin. As unfortunate as his death was, it came as no surprise to those who knew him.
I saw Paul on this tour. There were a lot of pieces in the band with keyboards for the McCartney's, and a horn section. However, when Jimmy McCulloch played, Wings had a real metal sound.
Saw the Wings over America tour at the Atlanta Omni, what a great show. Probably my favorite cut from the album. My buddy who had the tickets unfortunately succumbed to the same end as Jimmy. RIP guys.
a rather powerful performance by the late Jimmy McC. I used to listen to this on vinyl and always thought Paul sang lead on it. this was my fave from that album.
That concert film is still my favorite by far, the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense comes in a distant second....Jimmy was a treasure...and people forget how good Paul was on bass! He was almost as good as John McVie!
Great video, incredible. I saw him do this in Detroit. He was a small man, that I remember and he sang this with gusto - real emotion. Sorry he's gone on to the the great gig in the sky. May he be blessed by a Power greater than himself.
Jimmy was my classmate in school at Cumbernauld, Bonnie Scotland & didnt have a farm or sheep! He was a nice quiet kid with hair & gear that made me jealous. I joined army & in 1969 on TOTP was Jimmy with Thunderclap Newman. One hit wonder but a great one. Ok Jimmy and Macca. He composed 2 songs with Wings that Paul incredulously, for him, allowed to be on Wings albums. Not composed with Paul, just stand alone by Jimmy & also in concert at their best period (Paul really enjoys playing this as its a funky little number). Jimmy is the only person as a band member to have ever done this whether The Beatles or John Paul George. And Paul is the most controlling so its surprising he allowed it. Denny Laine never had this tho he co-composed with Paul. Well done Jimmy, you would have been a multi millionaire mate. Still family gets it. His first group, One in a Million, was with his brother & he snuck of school to go to Decca, London to cut a single which sank without trace tho he did meet the Stones. Jealous again. Miss you mate.
Venus and Mars is a pretty good album, but Medicine Jar just blows most of it out of the water. And I say this as a lifetime Paul lover, who's favorite song has been Band on the Run since I was like, 5 years old.
Except for a couple of notable differences: height (Paul being close to 6', Jimmy not a lot over 5') and chin/jawline (Paul's has always been firm, even verging on jutting; Jimmy's tended to recede). But I agree that they did look at least as though they could be related.
Didn’t appreciate Wings then but enjoying the hell out of them these days‼. Poor little Jimmy stuck his hand in that medicine jar too often. Miss him.💖💖
While watching this I was crying of happiness wishing I was there because all of the music Bèatlès and wings are my most favorite musical of All and always will be to me forever!
I was very fortunate to see this tour in 1976 and to this day it is still my favorite concert! Jimmie McCulloch was a great guitar player at such a young age . Such a loss funny he wrote medicine jar .... I live in Arizona so I saw it on Paul's birthday in Tucson June 18th
Just like BIRISHPM comment below, Jimmy McColluch lost his life 3 yrs later fighting his own medicine jar. He actually composed the music score for MEDICINE JAR. Autopsy: heart failure due to morphine and alcohol poisoning. Rest in Peace Jimmy!
I like how Paul backs off the main stage to give Jimmy the whole spotlight for his solo.
Surprisingly he gave Jimmy a spot to sing this song & even allowed it on his album & it's a good one by Jimmy but says everything about where he's at.
@@seltaeb3302 He couldn't even abide by his own lesson taught by the lyrics ...... keep your hand out of the medicine jar. Unfortunately, most of the rock artists back a generation and more ago, couldn't keep their hands, nose, or anything else out of the medicine jar and paid the ultimate price.
Deserves it!! Great song & true.
yep!
Yes Thomas Engle I also like how Paul backs off to give Jimmy the spotlight. It only shows how secure Paul is in himself.
This was the peak of Wings. They were a fantastic band with many more hits than most people realize. This song brings me back to a happy time! Absolutely love it!

@@hieronymusbosch6255 Yes. David Bowie always looked cool.

Fan. Tastic in deed bro
You mean he didn't even make it into the "27 Club"? Man, that stinks! :-(
Great singer too.
Check his resume...he was a borderline prodigy.
Listen to Paul's bass playing during Jimmy's guitar solo. It's brilliant.
Yep, absolutely brilliant counterpoint to the guitar solo. Macca was one hell of a bassist.
@@catherinewilson3880Was? He hasn't lost a beat as an instrumentist. Sadly, his voice is finally gone.

I joined army & in 1969 on TOTP was Jimmy with Thunderclap Newman. One hit wonder but a great one. Ok Jimmy and Macca. He composed 2 songs with Wings that Paul incredulously, for him, allowed to be on Wings albums. Not composed with Paul, just stand alone by Jimmy & also in concert at their best period (Paul really enjoys playing this as its a funky little number). Jimmy is the only person as a band member to have ever done this whether The Beatles or John Paul George. And Paul is the most controlling so its surprising he allowed it. Denny Laine never had this tho he co-composed with Paul. Well done Jimmy, you would have been a multi millionaire mate. Still family gets it. His first group, One in a Million, was with his brother & he snuck of school to go to Decca, London to cut a single which sank without trace tho he did meet the Stones. Jealous again. Miss you mate.
Great story thx
Thank you for sharing this story with us. Спасибо from Russia.
Died from Herion shortly after this tour, but still one of my fav's C'mon down Jimmy!
He passed away in 1979 and it wasn't from heroin.
that is how they described his death on the left coast here in America either way He died it was a sad loss
He died from heart failure due to a heroin overdose. So yeah...he did die from heroin.
Actually no, he didn't die from a heroin overdose.
JimmyMcCullochFan Well, then just fucking say why he died
Venus and Mars is a pretty good album, but Medicine Jar just blows most of it out of the water. And I say this as a lifetime Paul lover, who's favorite song has been Band on the Run since I was like, 5 years old.
im in love w this song
Jimmy was the cat's meow on guitar and I always thought he looked somewhat like Paul with a similar baby face.
Except for a couple of notable differences: height (Paul being close to 6', Jimmy not a lot over 5') and chin/jawline (Paul's has always been firm, even verging on jutting; Jimmy's tended to recede). But I agree that they did look at least as though they could be related.
This songs just hits my soul. Damn.
Fav bass , Fav lead & Fav drums... what a 3 piece ++++++ fukn brilliant.Wings Rule!!!!!!
2:08 Love that solo.
BIG LOSS YOU GONE JIMMY ., POWERFUL PLAYING , TRUE HERO ., REAL TALENTED

the baddest
Didn’t appreciate Wings then but enjoying the hell out of them these days‼. Poor little Jimmy stuck his hand in that medicine jar too often. Miss him.💖💖
it's so sad:( so much talent
+Peter Colello Yes,I agree. He should have listened to the lyrics he sang...
While watching this I was crying of happiness wishing I was there because all of the music Bèatlès and wings are my most favorite musical of All and always will be to me forever!
When music had originality, style, and class!!!
I saw the Wings Over America Tour in the Omni. Atlanta, Georgia....Greatest Arena Show I ever saw.... McCartney is Brilliant.......
I was very fortunate to see this tour in 1976 and to this day it is still my favorite concert! Jimmie McCulloch was a great guitar player at such a young age . Such a loss funny he wrote medicine jar .... I live in Arizona so I saw it on Paul's birthday in Tucson June 18th
Just like BIRISHPM comment below, Jimmy McColluch lost his life 3 yrs later fighting his own medicine jar. He actually composed the music score for MEDICINE JAR. Autopsy: heart failure due to morphine and alcohol poisoning. Rest in Peace Jimmy!
Another young talented life, cut short.
