Apollo Theatre, Glasgow (UK) - December 17th, 1979

This is the complete performance of Wings played in Glasgow on 1979. These are the very tapes McCartney himself recorded for a possible live album of which only "Coming Up" has appeared.

Macca and Wings hit #1 in Billboard, 6-28-80. Love the live version better than the studio 1. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, the lovely Linda.

@Nigelxman ? Care to expound? I'd love a shot at a response, WHATEVER you mean !

[Nigelxman]

@scizotts My Dad had saved it (and a few other gems like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand / When I Saw Her Standing There) for me all these years. Guess it's time to oil-up my turntables & see which one STILL TURNS!

GUESS WHAT I FOUND TODAY? Naw, you couldn't possibly guess this one. I can hardly BELIEVE IT and I'm HERE! I found my old original copy of the "SINGLE SINGLE" (no "B" side) of this performance. 7" 45 RPM vinyl. Coming Up on one side, A black VINYL MIRROR on the other. Aaaand, still in it's iddy-biddy sleeve. Man, am I lucky or WHAT?

@texs2007 I still have that single, I was ten when my dad brought it home, and this live version continues to give me chills more than thirty years later! But I never understood the silly studio version.

@observer9670 it was one of two songs on the b-side! the other was lunch box, odd sox.
