This version is better than Tripping the Live Fantastic, why didn't he use this sound recording for this song on album?!?! Would love to get a sound board recording of this show.
Hard to believe this is almost 20 years ago. I saw the Cincinnati show on this tour. I'm a grown man, and I tell you honestly, that night, in the audience, I succumbed to Beatlemania.
please can anybody out there tell me what kind of bass guitar paul mccartney is playing here i must have googled his name a million different times i couldnt find one photo of him playing this bass beautiful looking 5 string please someone save my mind thanks
Agreed. I was lucky enough to have a mom cool enough to take me to this tour. Incredible show. Easily one of the best shows Ive ever witnessed. Chris's groove is just solid and sick. Love his work with the waterboys and julian cope as well.
I gotta agree with you on this statement. Joe English was an amazing drummer. His drumming brought so much energy to Wings songs. Joe English was probably the only drummer who did his own thing instead of trying to imitate the album version.
i first heard chris when i saw him on this tour. Really just thought he played the right part then i saw him on the last dire straights tour and i was amazed. He just did what was right for both acts
Maria, to answer your question, McCartney was jailed for pot in the late 1970's in Japan. Either 1978 or 1979. Im surprised he went back there and played another concert tour
The only thing that would make this song better would be if he was still a member of Wings on this tour. Denny Laine, Joe English, Paul and Linda McCartney... playing this live... best you can get. Don't believe me, listen to "Trippin the Live Fantastic" and Compare it to "Wings Over America."
to those "fans" who say he should just stick to the Beatles stuff, then you're not a fan. for one, "Figure of Eight" is a killer tune and Jet was even more successful than some Beatles songs. it's his music - let him play what he wants and you sit at home and quit thinking the world revolves around what YOU want.

Paul should know by now that people give shit about some of his solos. Like the first one he sang, not a peep out of the audience. He should just focus on beatle songs and only his really big solo hits..
Fantastic! I was there all these years ago - can't quite remember which date it was I went to see the gig. I remember how excited I was and I still am to watch this. Thank you for posting this!
Best song by Paul love it

chriss whitten is one of the most underrated and unknown drummers. His groove here makes for a much tighter band than Macca's had since. What a gig
