Still mad keen on Wings by now and Paul & Linda especially and bought 'Wings over America' when it came out and it was probably amongst the last albums I bought by Paul when it came it out . . . . . .. but boy we loved this! And remember even Paulie had a mullet!

Of course we bought everythinsince!


On this day in music history: November 26, 1980 - The live concert film “Rockshow” is released theatrically in the US. Making its world premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City, the film featuring Paul McCartney & Wings is filmed during the “Wings Over America” tour in the Spring and Summer of 1976. It is compiled from performances at Madison Square Garden in New York City (May 25, 1976), the Seattle Kingdome in Seattle, WA (June 10, 1976) and The Forum in Los Angeles, CA (June 22 - 23, 1976). The concert is first released in abridged form in October of 1981 on the Betamax video format, then in its entirety on VHS, Laserdisc and CED Videodisc in 1982. In 2007, a seven song excerpt from the film is released on DVD, when McCartney includes it on the video anthology “The McCartney Years”. The complete theatrically released version of the film is finally released on DVD and Blu-Ray disc in June of 2013, a month after the reissue of the “Wings Over America” album.
