Kids today dont know, Paul did this tour in 1976 for Americas Bicentennial. And if you werent alive then, you missed a hell of a good time. I was lucky and Graduated in 1976. What a Summer.
Graduated in '79. The first music I bought was at a Zody's in Canoga Park, CA, and it was The Beatles White Album. I was 9. Venus and Mars are alright tonight. Cheers from Korea
Paul has a million talents, but one that never fails to blow my mind is how well he can sing and play bass at the same time. That ain't easy, and he always does it flawlessly.
Exactly. And honestly, I love all the cameras and flash bulbs too....it just adds to the excitement and response. Yet another sign of times gone by that we won't see again...it's just the not the same "feeling" today with cell phone cameras as it was back then. I don't know, today it's so different. Tough to explain.
I saw this show at Madison Sq. Garden in 76, 3rd row. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how hypnotizing and fantastic it was. It was the first time I saw Paul sing in person and I was truly in awe. I danced, I sang, I cried. Brilliant. He is truly the most talented singer, songwriter, whatever ever.
Michael H yesh coz the world had two massively talented left handed singer songwriters who played bass, piano, guitsr, drums, etc etc etc and was able to play a right handed guitar left handed note and pitch perfect whenever the mood took him. Sure. And of course NONE of his many relatives had anything to say about this guy who looked enough like paul from a balcony to fool screaming half hysterical female fans but wouldnt be mistaken for him by anyone who knew him...no they all went along without a word of disagreement to the press. Of course. Of course the unconscious mannerisms both on stage and in interviews, and the voice and so on which didnt change at all (even when he was off his face in a live interview) except allowing for the march of time mean zip too. Go on mate.. Watch every interview on tv you can find on youtube and watch them IN ORDER from about 1962 onwards...its the same bloke. Get a life.
I was at the Seattle concert too! I totally agree with HeartinThe60s. Unforgettable night. I still remember the explosions and green light lasers during Live and Let Die, and how the entire crowd burst in to song as we all left the stadium. It was one happy loving crowd!
The drumming is considerably better than I remember from the first listen. And he's having so much fun. Guess Paul was never going to settle for anything less than a good drummer who could support the song, and flow with all the dynamics he wrote.
Yes indeed swerdna12069 -- Jimmy McCullough was only 23 when he died in 1979 -- I wonder if he died of a drug overdose? ;-( Furthermore, this past April marks 20 years since Linda McCartney died of breast cancer (I think she died on April 17).
Insane. Only 5 Beatlessongs. The rest of the songs were all written between 1970 and 1976. Genius. Wings over America is McCartney's greatest achievement,.
Yeah I remember the first time I heard it I was in 8th grade.I think my friend Richard rall had the 8 track,but somehow I ended somehow up with it lol😅
Imagine the Beatles simple concert set ups in 1966 - just 10 years prior to this. Concert production came a long, long way in a relatively short period of time. And this tour in particular upped the game for the entire industry. It was on a whole new level with the use of a plexiglass stage, marquee lights, lasers, pyrotechnics, changing backdrops, movie playing above the band and a killer sound system - all in one show with the likes of an already legendary former Beatle. This took the cover of Newsweek, Time, every music magazine of the day, every newspaper and every local news broadcast. You had to live it to understand just how big of a deal it was and the epic proportion of it all. I was 14 and it absolutely captivated me to this day.
Paul actually created the 2hr rock show that everyone has done since, yes Led Zep, the Stones done 2 hours but it was just a long gig that could have been in a pub. The Stones took note & as they done in the 60s just copied it.
@@seltaeb3302great points. Oddly he wasn't able to replicate it 3 years later for the 79 UK tour that was very low key. Maybe he had bigger things in store for the Japanese tour but we'll never know....
I wasn’t quite alive in 1976, as 1978 would be my year (still 30 years overdue. I should either be old and crippled right now. Or dead). What I do re,e,her was when U2 hit the road with ZOO TV and their new record, Achtung Baby in… I think it was 1992. And it… was a BIG HUGE DEAL… every time I would turn on MTV or VH1, it was U2 everywhere, as they were always playing videos and doing these “live satellite transmissions” from each of their shows. It’s like how Van Halen dominated MTV during the 80. In the 90s it was U2 and ZOO TV ZOO TV was a major game changer, as it would be the first ever tour featuring those large LED video panels. Since U2 being the first band to use those, their success with them set a new standard. Sensory overload was also a key element to the ZOO TV experience. you had what looked like television sets suspended way above and even towering over the top of stadiums like Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh I saw this with my own eyes while with my step father at the time who worked for a fur delivery service. I went with him on a run to Pittsburgh and back the day that U2 happened to be playing at Three Rivers Stadium. That rig and its LED video panels towered well above the top of the stadium. I wasn’t at the show, by the way
Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I saw the Beatles in concert at Shea Stadium back in 1965! I have saved my concert ticket stub all these years - and every now and then I have to stare at it and think to myself: "Damn I'm Lucky."
Susie196921 never went to their concerts, i was born in this era, missed out on a bunch of cool stuffs. At least i have yt. But thats not even close to the real thing...
Yes you are, yes, you truly are...and btw, peace to everyone as we begin the new decade. Help everyone and everything, hurt no one or anything. Peace, hope and happiness to all the creatures floating through infinite space on this speck of dust.
Wings had the most top 40 singles 27 top 40 hits 7seven7 #1s, second was Elton John with 25 to 40 hits two number one hits, As Danny Laine said Paul's solo career HOF is for Wings 🪽 he wrote every song 🎵, I wish he received another HOF award for Wings 🪽 which he deserves more he is Badass OMG!!!
Super grateful to see and hear this awesome film! It just hit me that Paul and Joe (Drummer here) are the only ones still around here. What an amazing legacy!
@@catherinewilson3880 LOL....name one bass player that is technically better than McCartney in the genre of rock and pop music? Technically better? In what musical sense is the metric "technically better" based on? Paul and George Martin were responsible for bringing the bass guitar into the front of the recording production mix because of how his bass lines accented the melody, hooks, chord changes, and how distinctive they were, etc. His bass style is and was unique and he inspired most of the rock bass players that followed. His Rick bass lines and sound were classic. And don't tell me Entwhistle was better technically. The Ox played horns and used his finger style of his earlier instrument in how he manhandled the bass guitar....it was unique; he could play fast; and he had some incredibly fast and distinctive bass lines in a number of The Who tracks, but the Townshend musical compositions were basically simple tunes with few sophisticated chords, arrangements, etc. McCartney covered the waterfront in terms of variety of musical styles in The Beatles and in Wings. Can't compare the two....different players, different types of music.
I'll probably get a lot of hate for saying this, but I like the Wings even more than Beatles. A more hard rocking band. So many good tunes and a lot of underrated gems. I wish Paul sang more of his Wings material in concert.
You're not alone Ben. I've heard others say that Wings was the best stuff that Paul ever did. Not sure I would go that far myself, but we should always remember that Paul McCartney was in two of the greatest bands in rock/pop history.
Often dismissed as an also ran Denny was a critical member of the Wings Core Trio and a songwriting partner and muse for Paul. In many countries around the world Mcartney-Laine had a bigger selling hit than Lennon-McCartney ever had - USA just played the wrong side of the songl!
This is Paul McCartney at his very best 🎉🎉. Linda encouraged him to form Paul McCartney and the Wings 🎉🎉. It showed the true creativity that Paul McCartney had and she brought that out in him.They are the ultimate power couple 🎉🎉
Can you imagine the pressure on her as a novice to go out on stage with freakin’ Paul McCartney? She grew into a pro, and from what everyone who ever met her said, a very wonderful person.
Wings at their best!! Drummers take note... Joe English gives one of the best rock drumming performances ever. He has been overlooked in the world of drumming. He really brings these songs to another level. Thanks Joe, I learned and still use a lot of
@@paulshank1057 I believe you mean Fats Domino. For years, McCartney also covered Domino's Ain't that a Shame in concert. I don't think Domino covered it out of retaliation, but out of respect.
I was up front in Tucson, Arizona on June 18, 1976. It was Paul's 34th birthday. I will never forget the moment, from out of the dark arena, the spotlight suddenly bathed Paul in light as he began singing Venus and Mars. All of us gasped and yelled. I mean, WOW... that was Paul McCartney! At the end of the concert, as the band exited the stage, me and some others were lucky to get a smile and wave from Paul. I didn't know what a bucket list was back then, but I guess that got crossed off!
I was there, at THIS show. Seattle Kingdome, July 1976, still have the ticket stub. The best part of this vid is now I get to hear the beginning of the song, because almost 70 thousand screaming fans nearly drowned out the sound system.
@@holzmanj9 every clip I've seen of George live hasn't stood up to McCartney's performance here. He just didn't have the voice, I'm afraid, nor the wealth of material to draw from. George wrote some great songs, dont get me wrong, just not as many as Macca. I saw Paul live on his back in the world tour and he was bloody fantastic then too.
I don't know what to add to all the wonderful comments already made. I'll just add that at this moment, right now, for me, I feel like I just watched a moment from when my life had meaning and beauty and love. And that I have shared that moment with all you wonderful friends who have just enjoyed moments that are just as special to you. Thank you for being here for this my friends! Love to you all. Tim
When we were in a record store one day, my daughter picked up a copy of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album and said, "Look, Daddy. Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings." Rolling Stone Magazine, 1979.

My buddies and I saw them July 19 1976 in Cincy. Crazy cool laser show.Sat on front of stage and played oldies.I cried.Almost got crushed.In front when doors opened they didn't take our tickets.Still got it.
1976 Bicentennial and the first concert in the brand new Kingdome… McCartney and Wings Over America. I was there at the rail of the 300 level for $10.23. I still have the ticket stub from age 16.
Hey,I was a Huge Beatle fan and even I underestimated Paul's solo effort...the guy is proven to be the best no one noit even the stones or Beach Boys lost my thought,I love them all,Paul is the King of longevity
Who here thinks Wings should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
Yes, this video proves it!
It's a McCartney solo device. He is in as a solo artist.
They are, great group 👏👏👏
ofc was it a question?
even the bands running against wings would vote wings
Just singing Rock Show and Jet alone would shred any halfway normal person's voice for the night.

Band on the run is a monster hit during the 70's
He reinvented himself. Very few can do it
I can’t help but disagree
Paul is a Plateau
that's not an insult...no one in music history has retained the popularity than Paul...in MY history...this guy IS the TOP DOG
THAT is how you start a concert. Pay attention kids.

Not truly a mullet. That shag look was all over the 1970s for men and women.

I was there, at THIS show. Seattle Kingdome, July 1976, still have the ticket stub. The best part of this vid is now I get to hear the beginning of the song, because almost 70 thousand screaming fans nearly drowned out the sound system.
It was a solid group anyway. Good memories I was 22 and still listening to Wings LP’s
The "GOAT" of The "Musical" 20th Century!!!
Best 10 minutes in the history of live rock n roll.
The look of pure joy on Paul's face the entire performance. A blessed man.
😅Manuel Guerrero(rip?.).Compro boleto para la presentación en Los Angeles. Y no recordó donde lo guardo.
Cariños para el donde este😂😊❤
Probably my favorite live recording ever. Killer album. And I saw them live in 1990 while Linda was still with us. It was a great show.
If there was ever a doubt that McCartney was the most versatile and dedicated rocker in the Beatles, watch this video.
Steve Nease that might be a disservice to George.
@@holzmanj9 every clip I've seen of George live hasn't stood up to McCartney's performance here. He just didn't have the voice, I'm afraid, nor the wealth of material to draw from. George wrote some great songs, dont get me wrong, just not as many as Macca.
I saw Paul live on his back in the world tour and he was bloody fantastic then too.
Yes, Billy and Wings should be in the hall of fame! Denny Laine, and Jimmy McCulloch and Billy are powerful and cohesive!
you are billy
I don't know what to add to all the wonderful comments already made. I'll just add that at this moment, right now, for me, I feel like I just watched a moment from when my life had meaning and beauty and love. And that I have shared that moment with all you wonderful friends who have just enjoyed moments that are just as special to you. Thank you for being here for this my friends! Love to you all.

Imagine how awesome a real Beatles Reunion would have been cause at that point John and George were still producing gems.
I cant imagine the world of music without Paul Mc Cartney? His influence goes through ages and generation after generation...
Paul should consider this opening for his current tour. Its so iconic
The best songs, the best look, the best vibe, one of the best concerts in rock history
I was 15 in 1976….Pure frickin GOLD 🇨🇦👍
R.I.P. Denny Laine
When we were in a record store one day, my daughter picked up a copy of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album and said, "Look, Daddy. Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings."
Rolling Stone Magazine, 1979.
I love how Paul really amps up his bass when he plays live.
Saw him Beatles 65
76 90 93 2006 2008
2019. I can die now.
That’s so awesome!
Who is wondering when Paul is going to hit the road again
Who cannot forget this intro during his 1976 tours.
J étais allé à Paris en 1976 ..... McCartney était fabuleux sur scène . je ne peux pas oublier ce concert .....
In retrospect, this was a great band!
Best band of the 70's in my opinion. The list of absolute bangers that Wings produced is crazy.
@@JasonReynolds-c7n As I already stated it was the FIRST ever sold to reach billboard-200 #1 live album, Many don't know that... Paul Thanks for all the memories ❤️...
What Wings are not in the rock and roll hall of fame? Something is wrong if they are not.
Rock Show and Jet bring back wonderful memories of my childhood. Such good music.
Wow ... to be alive back then .... Wait, I was! :-)
Damn that was awesome. The bass lines : oh My
coolest guy ever on a stage Denny Laine
My buddies and I saw them July 19 1976 in Cincy. Crazy cool laser show.Sat on front of stage and played oldies.I cried.Almost got crushed.In front when doors opened they didn't take our tickets.Still got it.
Lies tour ended June 1976
1976 Bicentennial and the first concert in the brand new Kingdome… McCartney and Wings Over America. I was there at the rail of the 300 level for $10.23. I still have the ticket stub from age 16.
Best live performance ever! Wings are very underrated and this clip proves it
Hey,I was a Huge Beatle fan and even I underestimated Paul's solo effort...the guy is proven to be the best no one noit even the stones or Beach Boys lost my thought,I love them all,Paul is the King of longevity
What makes you believe they're underrated? Please explain.
@@gogoyubari366well, almost no one talks about the wings
now that I see it,I believe it was one of the greatest shows ever
A clip can't prove if somethings underrated
SAw this show at the Kingdome in Seattle. It is gone now, but this music will live forever.
