Paul McCartney & Wings Over Detroit 1976(MCCD144-147)


his super high quality sound is the first appearance, and it is recorded completely for two performances, including "LET 'EM IN"! ... Perhaps Paul's microphone or lighting was not good at first, but the crowd did not get very excited when "VENUS AND MARS" started, and suddenly the cheers got louder at a strange place in the middle of the song. What happened? Unfortunately, the master was missing "Let 'em In" that was supposed to have been played at the time of the tape change, and the next "Time To Hide" was missing, but the main feature here is that it is completely recorded by complementing it with another source on the day. As it is the early days of the tour, MCs are inserted in detail everywhere, the chatter between songs is long, and Paul may be too nervous and talkative. The number one hit in the United States at that time, "Silly Love Songs", made a mistake in the composition of the second half of the song, and it became a mess and was forcibly brought to the ending, becoming an unexpected short version (laughs). Discs 3 and 4 contain the second day of two consecutive performances, and this is also surprising with higher sound quality than the first day. It is strange how they could record with such high sound quality in an era without digital equipment such as DAT and MD. This is also a tense stage unique to the early days of the tour. During "Let Me Roll It," the audience got so excited that they started to go wild, and Paul shouted angrily on the mic, "Sit down! Sit down!", even though the song had already started. The stage progression was also not solidified, and there was a slight mistake where the intro to "Silly Love Songs" started in the middle of the MC, which made it very interesting.


This is Wings' first appearance sound source in 1976 and their first live performance. In addition to the content, the biggest feature of this work is the sound quality. No matter how exaggerated the words used, the sound quality is so amazing that it applies, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most representative titles of the Wings Over America tour, along with Boston and Toronto. I can't believe that such a high-quality tape has been sleeping until now. I hope you will experience the amazing sound quality full of realism and think back on the Japanese performance that never came to fruition. It is a 4-disc set with a beautiful picture disc specification of a sturdy press board for permanent storage. Comes with a Japanese obi.
