Thanks!
Thanx so much Mark! IMHO, You Rock!❤❤❤🏆🏆🏆
McCartney was at a peak in the mid-70s.
Often wondered if this was what Let It Be was supposed to be. Nice to see it finally see daylight.
Some have concluded this was Paul trying to do exactly that Norman! Good point! ❤❤❤
I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this album
What's the story about 'Nineteen Hundred & Eighty Five' not being entirely 'live'?
Paul McCartney is a legend to be honest Michael have a wonderful day ❤😊
Cool to finally get an official release of this (tho the cover is junk), but the McCartney estate needs to get back to the Archive releases (at least finish out the Wings catalog). What I really want is a Back to the Egg super-box set with a dvd that includes the BTTE TV special, the Rockestra documentary (c’mon, seeing McCartney, Gilmour, and Bonham together in the same room is beyond epic) and the full Kampuchea Wings set. Get on it, Paul!
Agreed Bruce! Say it loud, and say it proud brother! ❤❤❤
The harder attack on these live in the studio versions is amazing. Makes all the songs Hot as Hell! Too bad drummer Geoff Britton didn’t work out. He rocks the shit here!
Great point User! ❤
"WINGS OVER AMERICA " BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER!!!
Seeing the setlist, One Hand Clapping looks like a nice link between Wings Over Europe released 6 years ago and Wings Over America.
Great point Baron! Thanx for bring that up!❤
I like the artwork, and Yes it is essential, IT ROCKS!
So glad these recordings with Geoff Britton are now officially released. I really enjoyed his contribution to this phase of Wings lineage.
Britton’s drumming really pops here. It’s also up front on the Junior’s Farm single. Jimmy is always pure class. His solos and fills are nice on OHC … but he never really gets to cut loose. You know who really surprised me? Linda on keyboards. Quite prominent and well done. Denny’s sort of in the background, but he excels on his one solo song.
I'm glad it's finally release officially. I've had the bootleg on VHS for decades. I love the intimate setting with just Paul at the piano, playing songs that he had written and never recorded.
Paul McCartney & Wings is one helluva great band. They ruled the 70s. You couldn't listen to the radio without hearing a Wings song being played. I really enjoyed the songs that never got the air play. 1970s, great time to be a young teenager with all the great music to go with it.
Michael, this is an essential addition to the Wings catalogue!! Some fantastic alternate versions of earlier material. One song that is a first here - but would later appear on Wings Over America - is "Soily". I LOVE this first version!!
Yeah, good point Tiger! And this version sounds almost roadhouse to me! ❤
You can watch the video footage for that song on Paul's RUclips channel. Hopefully they'll post some more.
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine The Muppet Man is back for some more. I wish he would complain more about bands performing past their prime. He just doesn't do enough of that.
I think this is a great live in the studio album. There's a few things I could do without. Some of the shorter versions of past and then new songs. But, I'd much rather they gave us more songs from the sessions than fewer. Then the fans can decide which tracks they want to listen to the most. After having some of "One Hand Clapping" on bootleg for years, I'm glad its finally gotten an official release. My only gripe, is not putting "The Backyard" segment at the end of CD 2. There was certainly room for it. Instead, they made it a website exclusive on a vinyl single (E.P.), with the 2 LP vinyl set.
Got the album on Friday Michael, absolutely love it.
this a a great release, sounds great and the versions are awesome..drums are up front and driving with lots of thump..
Thanks Michael.
It’s a great Wings album. Just as an afterthought off cause. But it nicely covers what was going on between “Band on the Run” and “Venus & Mars”.
Like the fact that the artwork is kind of discreet, not pretending to be a “major lost Wings album”.
Mostly for fans but I love it😊❤️👍
Loved the album! It is not for sale in my country, and Amazon never finds my address, so I am restricted to streaming it nonstop for the time being.
Great video as always, Michael!
Thanks for the background on this album 😊
Great video! I've been on the fence about picking this up, but you might have swayed me to give Paul yet more of my $$ haha. I initially was all-in when I saw that "Soily" was included, but then I remembered this OHC version of that track was already released on the 2-disc edition of "Venus & Mars" back in 2014. However, I know most (if not all) of the cuts on OHC have been remixed and there are some tracks that I've never heard before as well. Really good review / discussion, sir - thanks!
Thank You Mike. I didn't know that this album was released. Without all that you said on this podcast I wouldn't have known that this was a worthwhile album to purchase. Now, suddenly this album is going to be #1 on my hit parade.

My thought…if you’re a dedicated Beatles, Wings, and/or Paul fan…this release is essential. Although I will say if you’re not, NON ESSENTIAL. For me 14 out of the 26 tracks kick ass! The other 12 are kind of ‘meh’, just okay. So it’s up to each individual. Some have stated they LOVE this big time! Others think it’s a waste. 🤔 Great commentary Michael! Cheers, Matt 😊🙏😎👍❤️
Yeah, a lot of people are less than ethisoatic for the release, but I have always loved these sessions Mathew.
What I’m less thrilled with is Mind Games by Lennon, yet it seems everyone is just mad about it!
As George Martin once said, “horses for course” brother! 😉❤
I don't know why Paul doesn't put out a press release saying that he's looking for bootleg live recordings of any of his solo work of the 70s or Beatles work. He could pay people for those recordings as per their quality, and then he could use the "Get Back" computer technology to clean them up and enhance them enough that they could be compiled into live albums! That would be something I'd be interested in.
I suspect Apple has people wandering around markets looking for bootlegs. I would also think all of his concerts were professionally recorded and filed in his personal archive for review and potential release. A live anthology through the years would be interesting.
Anything Paul does, I'm in. My favorite Rock singers includes Paul, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Layne Staley, or Chris Cornell. The later are kinda modern, but still great, for this 80's / 90's kid
I absolutely love the album! It truly captures 70's soft rock at its best! Wings were brilliant and deserve a place in the rock hall of fame!
Excellent Michael 😊
I am a HUGE Beatles and Wings fan as well as Paul's solo work. There's just one song out of Paul's entire catalogue, which is ridiculously extensive, which I cannot stand! There's several songs I could give or take, but very few considering the vast number of songs Paul has written. So, it's just this one song that I just cannot take, to where I'll skip it if it happens to be on a particular CD I'm playing, but if I'm relaxing with a fine vintage of bubbly "Muddy Panther Piss" listening to albums, most times I'll be too lazy to get up, lift the arm and set it back down on the next track, BUT I ALWAYS WANT TO!! ")
I wonder whether other fans feel the same about "C Moon"!! YUK!
Jack ~'()'~
Ha I thought you were referring to Hey Jude. Love the Beatles recording but damn, he's played that song to death live. C moon is a bit meh I agree.
@@andydixon2980 I've performed Hey Jude live multiple times and it gets the same reaction each and every time, people go bat shit berzerk when they hear it.
It's one of the most fun to perform because of that kind of reaction, otherwise, I cannot argue, it has been played to abusive levels by Paul.
It's always sketchy publicly stating how you cannot take ANY Beatles/Wings/Paul's solo songs due to the ravenous nature of us fans, so I am relieved to know there's at least ONE other highly intelligent, ladys man who agrees!! ")
Take care brother

Thanks.Well worth getting ,pleased to have official release at last.What a shame about Jimmy,so talented.
Hi
Yes it is.
Yes it is briliant - always was, but now official the production is spot on and it remians a great musical adventure including Baby Face! It has such a raw sense of fun and groovy vibe. Like a party for the ears.
Nice video. I’ve noticed though that when you do a video on a Beatle, it’s ALWAYS Paul. It would be cool for you to do dedicated videos once in a while on a Beatle not named Paul McCartney. The others, especially John and George, have an equally rich catalogue and story. As I’m already sure that you are aware. Cheers!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes
Hey, Michael, did your copy not i clude the 7 inch single?
Has it been remixed? Is it the original master? I like the lofi analog sound of the videos I can find on RUclips.
Almost a moot question. Of course it’s essential for McCartney fans! It may not be for general rock fans.
No AI Real music and I love the horn section. I always wish Paul had used horn sections in his later concerts i.e. Flowers up to only a few years back where Wix covered all those parts. Yep Jimmy was a wild card but what a guitarist. A pity he and Geoff didn't get along. The artwork is dull imo but maybe it is trying to look bootleg (that's some peoplke's theories). A naked chubby baby with earphones and wings (nup) - is this a Paul pic of baby Mary or Stella?
By listening carefully to Geoff Britton, we can realize that his game is quite fine and subtle. Less cushy than Joe English, less dry than Steve Holley and more "fresh" than Denny Seiwell’s. It is a pity that his singular personality is not allowed to continue his career alongside Paul, Linda & Denny ...
I would not spend the money on this since a lot of it has been put out on bootleg years ago.
Eh? Nah… one hand clapping was intended as and was made as a film - an entertainment performance documentary for TV. (But no station picked it up). Naturally the music for it needed to be good and recorded properly. All these years later those tapes have been used for this audio release. I’ve no idea why several RUclipsrs keep referring to it as an album that was never released? 🤷♂️
Joe English was the best drummer Paul ever had and one of the very few Paul ever allowed to take a lead vocal on an album and live.
The cover art is ridiculous.
I'm more of a fan of the original video of "One Hand Clapping".
That's where the magic is at.
It's live, it hasn't been "cleaned" up with AI.
I've seen a clip of the AI restored version and of the album.
Once the sound and video have been manipulated then it's not real in my opinion.
But people will eat it up no matter what because that's what people do. Eat up whatever is put in front of them.
AI is an abomination. It sucks.
And using it to "clean up" recordings and video is just wrong.
But I'm in the minority.
Paul didn't have AI when he did "Wings Over America". So he went in the studio and redid vocals and instrumentation and dubbed it in the actual live recordings and called the album live. It's a great album. But it's hardly completely live.
Interesting that it is fake, and not real. I know that Paul was even re recording Beatles live tracks in the studio for possible live album release, but that idea was abandoned years ago. Now with pro tools and other AI technology, Paul wants to put out fake performances, proving that he has always been a music industry hack. It ties in with the George Martin tape loops, strings and splicing takes to cover up for bad playing or messed up vocal lines. Hey hey, we're The Monkees!
The artwork is really bad. How did Paul agree to it
The Muppet Man is back for some more. I wish he would complain more about bands performing past their prime. He just doesn't do enough of that.
*THAT'S A UNIQUE TITLE...* 🙄However, a friend of mine, *_"Billy Ward,"_* did a similar titled album, *"Two Hands Clapping."* Which "featured" a huge cast of other professional musicians!! Of course, it was his first solo album, a body of work that achieved a perfect, "5 star rating" in *_"Modern Drummer"_* magazine, inwhich they called it, the *“Album of the Year!!"* Pretty cool.., Ehhhyy!?!?!?
🤔 *ALTHOUGH,* THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY why I reached out to you, but rather, this link is.., ruclips.net/video/Dzf8A7wQJqs/видео.htmlsi=fI6Sg5Nk97Rv4Spl
Hopefully it will be able to take you to the video, as made by *_"SWEETWATER,"_* and regarding, 🤗 *_"THE BEATLES!!!"_*
If you can't reach that video via the link, just go to *"SWEETWATER'S" "YT page,"* you'll surely find from there. 😉 P.S. I sent that link to you, as well as a couple family members who are still "ALL IN" on all things, *"THE BEATLES!!"* AND to be perfectly honest and Frank about it Michael, I am surprised, impressed even, with the huge interest, that STILL surrounds *"THE BEATLES!!"*
*ANYWAY KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER!!!!!* 😎🤘🏼
