A studio version of Coming Up was recorded for the McCartney II album. The live version (performed by Wings before the breakup) was on the B side of the studio 45 record, and most radio stations decided they liked that one better. And the live version, often referred to as a McCartney single but actually credited to McCartney & Wings, hit No. 1 in the U.S.
@dzeiger Well, "Coming Up [live at Glasgow]" was the hit here in the U.S. but throughout Europe, the studio version from McCartney II was the hit. The studio version hit #2 in the U.K. while the live hit #1 here/
@ccbgable There are actually very few "complete" musicians..Chuck berry,Hendrix,Prince,MCartney,Van morrison,Stevie wonder,Bob marley,Steve Winwood,a few guys in the blues..
I didn't know Wings ever played this. I thought Paul wrote this as a solo act at the time wings split up, Either way, I use to listen to this song 10 times a day when I was 9. He sang this great live.
The live version was definitely better. It's more upbeat and fast paced, reminds me of Got To Get You Into My Life.

This is the song John Lennon couldn't get out of his head! It inspired him to get back to recording.
