I love this interview so much. Paul never gets asked about Wings enough and to hear him not only talk about the tour but also the band members, Jimmy and Joe in particular is so great to hear. And to hear him state his love for Call Me Back Again, for me his finest vocal performance ever in my opinion, is wonderful to see. I just wish Wings had toured longer with that great line-up, throughout the rest of the 70's.
I'm so glad Paul gave props to that lineup of Wings which was undoubtedly the best line up they had during their most successful run. The band chemistry was off the charts and like Paul said, Jimmy and Joe's playing was fantastic! They brought something to the band the other lineups didn't. The only shame is that they didn't last longer.
The Wings over America tour of 1976 was definitely the band's highlight. Unfortunately, things went downhill after that with weaker albums and a not so good line-up. I also didn't think the song selection was that good on the last Wings tour (there is a bootleg from the London concert). Too bad I missed Wings when they came to Munich in September 1976. That would have been the show to see!
Still talking fondly of Jimmy to this day : )
Joe and Jimmy. Two of the best. They made Wings rock those live shows and will play on In infamy on record. R.I.P. Jimmy.

I was at the seattle kingdome concert and loved the energy and excitement of the show. It was the Best!

Now if only the 4 remaining Wings LPs will be remastered.
You have some classic clips.
sad he didn't mention Denny at all...seriously he was a huge part of it.....certainly more than linda.....
Yeah, the great horn section was used during the 1975, 1976, and 1979 shows. Wish Paul would bring back a horn section in his shows.
Your wish came true
Paul is so clever, age hasn’t slowed the man down one bit.
