JAY'S PERSONAL COMMENTS:

Considering all I've ever heard of McCartney's bands is what I've listened to on the 2 LP's (yes, actual vinyl!) I own of Wings, I didn't know what to expect from his live shows. I know people who have had mixed reactions to his tours... they say that the music is good, but sometimes the stage effects drew their attention away from the band. Others said it added to the show. All I know is, judging from the audio content from this recording, THE MUSIC IS GREAT!

Unfortunately, a few songs are missing (but isn't 29 songs enough for a show????). The 3 opening songs (Figure Of Eight, Got To Get You Into My Life, and Rough Ride) were not on the master. Paul's "Lennon Tribute" (Strawberry Fields / Help! / Give Peace a Chance) are also missing (known as "The Medley" on most set lists). The odd thing is, though, when listening to the master, I hear NO break anywhere where those 3 songs should have been! They show up on the unofficial set lists as being between "Let It Be" and "Live And Let Die". I've listened to the master I don't know how many times, and there is no change in the applause, an edit I can visually see/hear, nothing! So, I wonder if they WERE played or not. 2 sites show The Medley as NOT played this date. I can only wonder.

This is a excellent show, with lots of energy from Paul, who's constantly whooping it up between songs. He's in great voice, and his bass playing, although a little "down" in the mix, is still a good thing to listen to! The mix was done wonderfully, and there were only a couple of "glitches" in the effects for a few brief seconds on a couple of songs (such as too much reverb when the "quick" part of Live And Let Die happens. Oh well, engineers are only human, too! Otherwise, the mix is damn near perfect, nice channel separation where it needs to me, and none of the background vocals are too loud/soft... just right.

Stumbled upon this while looking for DC area shows. I was at this show and actually recorded the whole show (sound is pretty poor though). I can tell you for sure that "The Medley" was skipped that night. The SBD recording is also missing Jet which he played between Figure Of Eight and Got to Get You.
