Free Music Notes for Wings Over America

Free Music Review: "Fancy a bit of rock 'n' roll?"
Hit: 5 Stars

In 1976, Wings, fronted by the legendary Paul McCartney, played a tour of the U.S. It turned out to be one of the greatest tours ever and resulted in arguably the best live album ever. Wings--at this point consisting of Paul, his wife Linda on keyboards, Denny Laine and Jimmy McCulloch on guitars, and drummer Joe English--was at the top of their game as shown by the tracks on this two-disc set.

Disc 1:

"Venus and Mars"/"Rock Show"/"Jet"--Once in a lifetime medley of the VENUS AND MARS opener and the great song from BAND ON THE RUN.

"Let Me Roll It"--Another BoTR track, performed grandly.

"Spirits of Ancient Egypt"--Denny Laine's first lead vocal on this album, taken from VaM, bettering that version.

"Medicine Jar"--Jimmy McCulloch's sole lead vocal is also from VaM and it really rocks.

"Maybe I'm Amazed"--taken from McCARTNEY, this also betters that version. This version was a Top Ten single.

"Call Me Back Again"--Paul sounds bored at the start, but soon goes rockin' in another VaM track.

"Lady Madonna"--first Beatles song performed on this set is a grand version of the #1 single.

"The Long and Winding Road"--another Beatles song, taken from LET IT BE, gives us the first ever version without Phil Spector's (over)production.

"Live and Let Die"--title track to the James Bond film is given an explosive (literally!) treatment here.

"Picasso's Last Words"--an acoustic set starts with this BoTR track.

"Richard Cory"--Denny Laine's second lead vocal is a cover of a Simon and Garfunkel song.

"Bluebird"--BoTR returns in this set with another fine acoustic number.

"I've Just Seen a Face"--first ever live version of this HELP! track is a great attraction to this set.

"Blackbird"--not to be confused with two spaces above, this is another Beatles song taken from the "White Album."

"Yesterday"--last song in this set and last Beatles song, also from HELP!, is this enduring classic. Got the loudest applause of all the songs.

Disc 2:

"You Gave Me the Answer"--goofy vaudeville VaM track is performed great here but it left out the spoken words!

"Magneto and Titanium Man"--goofy comic book VaM track is given a rockin' spin for the concert.

"Go Now"--Denny Laine lead vocal on one of his hits during his stint with the Moody Blues.

"My Love"--sole track from RED ROSE SPEEDWAY is this McCartney love song with a fantastic guitar solo.

"Listen to What the Man Said"--first of three "underappreciated" songs on this album is this VaM track.

"Let 'Em In"--second of those three is the first off WINGS AT THE SPEED OF SOUND and was Wings' latest single (#3 on the charts).

"Time to Hide"--Denny Laine's fourth and final lead vocal is his vocal spotlight from WAtSoS.

"Silly Love Songs"--the last of those three is the most overbashed McCartney song, but their latest #1 and also from WAtSoS.

"Beware My Love"--last WAtSoS song is this underrated rocker and the other side of "Let 'Em In."

"Letting Go"--last of VaM tracks is this above average rocker.

"Band on the Run"--last of the BoTR tracks is this great live version that made me buy this after hearing it on the radio.

"Hi, Hi, Hi"--hit (and banned) rock single makes an appearance here.

"Soily"--McCartney concert closer is only avaliable here and is absolutely blistering.

This is an absolute great piece of live rock. Unfortunately, import only. Capitol, release this album! Well worth the price though. The title, BTW, comes from what Paul said before starting "Hi, Hi, Hi."

Paul, my answer is an unwavering "YES!"
