Wings Tour 1972

1972 UK University Tour
February 1972

Wings University Tour was a UK concert tour by Paul McCartney & Wings in 1972, shortly after the band's formation and initial album release, Wild Life. Wings' lineup for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell.

McCartney had formed Wings for the purpose of having a band to go on the road with, and he wasted no time in doing just that. During the waning years of The Beatles, notably during the Get Back sessions, he had suggested they return to live performances by showing up unannounced at pubs and playing for the patrons. The idea was never seriously considered by the other Beatles.

Admission to the first show which was held at 12 noon in the Portland Building Ballroom was GBP 0.40, proceeds being split up equally among the band members. At Hull, the word circulated fast, and a full hall of about 800 welcomed Wings at 50p per head.

Wings Over Europe Tour

In the summer of 1972, Paul McCartney's newly formed band, Wings, set out on a concert tour of Europe. The band, with the McCartney children and their road crew, loaded up in a brightly coloured double decker bus for the tour of the continent. The tour proceeded largely without incident, but on 10 August in Gothenburg, Sweden, Paul and Linda McCartney were arrested for possession of marijuana and fined US$1,200. Paul joked the arrest would “make good publicity” for the tour, but this arrest would cause him much trouble trying to gain visas for future tours. Wings' lineup for the tour was the same.

Интересный был тур. А ведь как минимум 3 концерта были записаны профессионально... Услышим ли мы это когда-нибудь в достойном виде...?

Жаль что автобус постигла в конечном итоге оказался на свалке...
