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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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).
@@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.
@@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.
@@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'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.
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.
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
Amen. I had SUCH THE CRUSH on Jimmy McCulloch and went into mourning when he died in '79. I know, as a 13 yr old girl, I was half his age, but you know how girls are...:(

@@morbidmanmusic Of course, because that's all Paul ever plays, right? He's never done anything worthwhile on bass. I suspect you don't know squat about him.
What's so very cool about this, is the fact that when Paul left the beatles after they split and he married Linda... it's almost another Ronald Reagon and Nancy Romance love story. But he talked her into learning the keys (keyboards) She was just scared the fact she knew nothing about them. He taught her and even though he was already a millionaire he took this soon to be Wings on tour with her playing keys. It's really a cool deal and true story.
@Joy Stinson Lennon could make music at will whenever he wanted, George was the last Beatle to have a no. 1 hit solo and ringo packs in crowds regularly with his all star band. Ur just a macca fan with limited musical knowledge.
Listen to the powerful bass lines throughout. Marvel at the vocals. Realize it’s Paul doing _both of those things at the same time_ . I can’t even comprehend how he can manage two different rhythms and tones in synchronization like that.
I remember only too well when The Floyd was Pink, The Purple was Deep and Paul McCartney had Wings. Where are the bands that will inspire and create memories for the youth of today?Sigh i think the world's gone Ga Ga.
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

@todd long they were a band that didn't release singles, they considered themselves an album group. If they had released stairway to heaven and others they would've had many no. 1s.
This was the BEST configuration of Wings. Paul Mccartney at the height of his musical and vocal talents. He and the band was clearly having a great time and like Sock Socky said below me, THAT is how you start a concert :)
Joe is from my home town of Rochester NY. I really liked his contributions to this live album. He didn’t get much credit and it’s to bad. He was a great drummer and person.
Wings - the most underrated band in the world.
100 Millionen Platten verkauft 😂😂😂😂
So are UFO
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
Paul was at his absolute peak in the mid 70s
TheSpock23
I'm in my college days.
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

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

@todd long they were a band that didn't release singles, they considered themselves an album group. If they had released stairway to heaven and others they would've had many no. 1s.
This Paul is a musical god
I wish I could have seen them live back in the day.
I saw them in 1976 at the Forum in LA . Yes , fantastic show . I was 15 Now im old and can’t be doing all that walking and climbing stairs dang
For me "Venus and Mars / Rock Show" is one of the best show openers ever. The other one is "Telegram" by Nazareth.
This was the BEST configuration of Wings. Paul Mccartney at the height of his musical and vocal talents. He and the band was clearly having a great time and like Sock Socky said below me, THAT is how you start a concert :)
joe english bad ass on drums.paul at his best.
Joe is from my home town of Rochester NY. I really liked his contributions to this live album. He didn’t get much credit and it’s to bad. He was a great drummer and person.
He makes it look so easy
Listen in in 2019! He is a true legend. One of the only artists still relevant. A pillar of rock!
Paul McCartney is so wonderful. I have loved him since 1964. I still love him so much .
Wings and Paul McCartney is underrated as hell.
wish he would do venus n mars in concert again my fav mccartney song
Allison Hughes When I saw his concert he played "Venus and Mars".
Felipones081095 go check live in Rio
this is the perfect concert opening of Paul McCartney's concerts, even better than Hello Goodbye or Magical Mistery Tour.
I love this song, in grade school my older brother of 6 years had this album and tough me a lot about music,
It's in my top 1000 songs of All-time. Wings and Paul got some in my top 1000 songs
Saw them in London in 1976 and they were incredible - Paul's voice was at its magisterial best in this era.
