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.
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.
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.
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 ….
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!

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.
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!
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.
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.
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!

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 ...

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.💖💖
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.
It is INSANE how good they are n so cute how Paul is bopping to jimmy like a proud papa. Rip jimmy denny n linda Wish you all were still here to repeat this performance 💗🙏🏻
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.
this is the real deal of the band called: Wings. This song strikes close to home of many of my friends. McCulloch had a good start in music , only if He lived longer. Shame at 26 yrs old
What a great song!!! Both Jimmy and Denny brought so much to this band. They were billed on albums or singles I believe, as PAUL MCCARTNEY AND WINGS because the record company wanted a BEATLE name stamped on it , but I've heard Paul just wanted to be called WINGS, and I agree, 'cause there was so much talent in this band than just McCartney. RIP Denny, Jimmy and Linda.

RIP Linda, Jimmy and Denny
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.

@@hieronymusbosch6255 Yes. David Bowie always looked cool.

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.

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!
Paul's a virtuoso bassist and one the genre's pioneers and greats.
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.💖💖
Fav bass , Fav lead & Fav drums... what a 3 piece ++++++ fukn brilliant.Wings Rule!!!!!!
Great song!! Never heard of this song until this DVD came out. I guess, there are always gems to find!! \m/
Hearing this song and understanding the lyrics really makes you think....damn....sadly ironic,Jimmy. Oh,just how sadly ironic it is...Rest in Peace...
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.
Great story thx
Thank you for sharing this story with us. Спасибо from Russia.
This brings back so many memories! My boyfriend had this album in his parents' house and tape in his customized van!!
Love your name and vibe...makes me smile! 🌞
It is INSANE how good they are n so cute how Paul is bopping to jimmy like a proud papa. Rip jimmy denny n linda Wish you all were still here to repeat this performance 💗🙏🏻
The great Joe English on drums, Iconic playing by Jimmy M,,
Paul had a really good bunch of musical blokes playing with him in Wings!! Almost makes one forget his other little combo from Liverpool lol
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.
tru scotsman
olympia stadium 1976 w.o.a tour...i was there...w/my mum! :)
About every seven years I suddenly have to hear THIS again! - Love you too, Jimmy McCulloch.
Oh boy this bass sound and that guitar are really perfect, those were the days ...
it's so sad:( so much talent
+Peter Colello Yes,I agree. He should have listened to the lyrics he sang...
this is the real deal of the band called: Wings. This song strikes close to home of many of my friends. McCulloch had a good start in music , only if He lived longer. Shame at 26 yrs old
Grrrrreeeeeaaaaaaattttttttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!! Jimmy and Joe, simply FANTASTIC!!!!
This song is so badass
the baddest
Brill bought the Triple LP the day it became available. 🤩🤩
Saw wings twice awesome sounds great band of all times. Still love you sir Paul!!
Saw them on a hot June day in Seattle at the Kingdome.. great days.
Вещь ОБАЛДЕННАЯ, а соло ДЖИММИ душу выворачивает..
What a great song!!! Both Jimmy and Denny brought so much to this band. They were billed on albums or singles I believe, as PAUL MCCARTNEY AND WINGS because the record company wanted a BEATLE name stamped on it , but I've heard Paul just wanted to be called WINGS, and I agree, 'cause there was so much talent in this band than just McCartney. RIP Denny, Jimmy and Linda.
