[loverofthebigt9]

GOD BLESS YOU WE MISS AND LOVE YOU !

[onlyjoetee]

this guy was so dumb to leave the band,his life went straight down after that...

[MrYodeal]

Not Spam! Damn Ham!

[shauntaylor23]

amazing

[bearkt]

1 guy kept his hand in the medicine jar!

[steele917]

One of the best songs on any Wings album.

[pasrex1]

Buuuueno!!.....gracias!

[12stringsforme]

Geez, all these years I thought DL was singing this.

[xxxMrSuspendedxxx]

To be honest I would've guessed that Jimmy was on heroin from the looks of his eyes, even if it hadn't said on-line he croaked from the junk.

[missnancyable]

One word GENIUS.

[edsroraphael]

grande paul!!!!!!!1

[gentaro0222]

oh,JImmy McCullough! He was too young death!!

[duncansby96]

@gentaro0222 tellme about it

[Calaitafan]

@gentaro0222 he called Jimmy McCulloch

[QueenBeatlesWings]

JImmy McCullough wrote this as an anti drug song and he was a great band member but sadly he died at age 26 only 6 years later than he began playing for Wings of a drug overdose.

[JimmyMcCullochFan]

@QueenBeatlesWings Jimmy didn't write the lyrics to Medicine Jar or Wino Junko. Colin Allen did & Jimmy then put the words to music. Medicine Jar was inspired by Jeanette Jacobs of The Cake.

[iskanderr]

I didn't know wings had other singers, I thought Paul was the only one.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@iskanderr no, on every Wings album pretty much there's a song by at least one other band member (especially Denny Laine) who co-wrote with Paul M. alot Jimmy McCulloch wrote 2 Wings songs with Wings member Colin Allen

[aerowayne1]

I was one of 80,000 at this show is Seattle,Wa. I remember this song very well and I love these kind of stuff.

[hernanbeatle4ever]

wings! what a hell of a band !!!!

[wellisaythat]

Fkn sucks they cut the guitar solo like that.

How lame.

[TheBobohj]

@wellisaythat why isnt paul singing i mean hes the only singer next 2 linda who does the background singing

[JimmyMcCullochFan]

@TheBobohj um this is Jimmy's song so he sings lead vocals. Paul wasn't the ONLY singer in the group.

[liam6177]

I Once Read That As Soon As Paul Hear This Song He Liked It Sraitaway (U Can See It On Pauls Face In This Footage, He Smiles At Jimmy, Pauls Loving It And Linda Too, (Best Song Jimmy Ever Done, Guitar Sounds Great) Ill Never Get Tired Of This Song (CLASSIC)

[xpj67]

Where do you see Paul smiling at Jimmy n this footage? they don't show Paul once in it at all, the entire time the camera is on Jimmy except for a few seconds of showing the drummer near the end. But they never show Paul, or Linda during this song.

[liam6177]

hi just got ur message, i typed my comment before the song finished, but i have the very same concert at home and Paul does smile at Jimmy, but this footage i replyed 2 is shoot by a differant camara and yes it does'nt leave Jimmy, so im sorry about that, but ive also read in a number of McCartney books and he says he liked the song strait away and the footage ive got he does keep smiling at Jimmy (same concert, Seatle Dome 1976 u can buy it on dvd its called Rockshow)

[pachacutti]

the footage you speak of is a mix of different concerts that were filmed. This King Dome footage is shot on video and the real deal. The film Rockshow is an edited film from various locations. I also have the film

[maccalover1]

@liam6177 where did you buy rockshow? Thanks!

[ingwerammar]

@liam6177 hummm ... Wino Junko is a Great song too !!!

[DoughnutRing]

I think that the member at this time was the best.

[pokerist69]

love you Jimmy . RIP wherever you are.

[kellamy]

Back then, I was totally in love with this guy! I once read that Paul kept warning him to get off the drugs- too bad he didn't listen! RIP Jimmy! :-(

[rogcuadra]

they rocked this song Cow Palace in 1976 I got high then!!! Not anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bandcouver]

A Vancouver band called Maria In The Shower performed a version of this song at the recent Crab Park Festival.

[Rubintubin]

pretty ironic or something lol

wrote an anti-drug song. then died of heroin overdose

[larrystarstruck]

That is what makes this all a tragedy. Doesn't get proper credit for his talent. Those who know agree. Sadly, I wish he kept his hand out of the medicine jar myself.

[fulls787]

wow, great guitarist, good voice and energy. i wish Jimmy left more music behind, Paul did us all a favor adding him to his band.

[sewingbuttons]

He died from a heroin overdose in 1979 - three years after writing this song. He was 26

[beeb1421]

jimmy was very talented.

[JimmyMcCullochFan]

Great version of Medicine Jar but I am pissed that it gets cut. I hope there's a video with the full version somewhere.

[ZenDriveSeven]

Jimmy was the main reason I picked up the guitar in the first place. After seeing the "Wings Over America" tour on TV in the 70's, I was hooked. Such a tasty, raw, and melodic player. He made a Gibson SG sound like it should.

[beatmastert]

Venus and Mars was a great album!

[Creativ1]

Talent and good looks wasted on drugs..really a shame.

[stagpole]

he's simply a dumb ass - for touching drugs

[adoggperson]

True I guess but we should not speak ill of the dead. No matter how mixed up he was for delving into that life style he was a brilliant Musician.

[rogcuadra]

and your'e pefect too ! Ass

[jm1072]

SG's are nasty.

[LesPaulGoldTop21]

This song is so cool!

[DeeDonner]

what a tour!! Saw Wings 1976 with a buddy, 16 at the time and his date she was a 32 yr old English teacher..we drank wine out of a sack and smoked weed..what a wonderful time it was in May of 76. Jordan where are you now??

[4FabBEATLES]

@DeeDonner gorss- why share- drugs and alcohol are bad, and smoking is worse- as proved by George Harrison's death from lung cancer from smoking

[willwak]

@4FabBEATLES

I think being stabbed by a nut case contributed to the early death of George too. Smoking is bad but really your genes are what determines when you die under normal conditions. We all go one day. I smoke and I drink and when I die, I won't complain or wish I had done anything differently. That's life.....and that's death too.

[freemoneybizman]

great song,his guitar style reminds me alot of tommy shaw from styx. Love this song

[ckc1958]

I almost for got this song. Great to hear it again!!

[martybeatlefan]

one of my favourite songs by wings .... great live too

[kagakuhakubutsukan]

jimmy mcculloch. this song alone was better than half of this concert series repertoire.

[rogcuadra]

I saw this tour i totally disagree!!!! Oh! My!

[erinm03038]

Yeah, I put this on my favorites, and although the Beatles are my favorite band, this is my absolute favorite Wings song ever. Jim rocks. I love Medicine Jar!

[GeorgePQuittlesack]

Jimmy lived too fast and died too young.

[WinoJunko76]

My hero!
