This was the second day of Paul's US tour after Fort Worth, his first in 10 years, and it was a very hot stage in a tense atmosphere.
Paul's tours usually start in the countryside and move to larger cities as the schedule progresses, and it is rare for him to suddenly perform in important cities where a large number of media are present. For this year's US tour, New York, Chicago, and the final Los Angeles were located in the latter half of the tour, and this Houston performance was more of a warm-up for those. In that sense, it would not be strange if they were trying various things on the second day of the tour, but since they had toured Europe with almost the same set in the UK and Australia the previous year, and in early 1976, there was nothing special about America, and it felt more like they were checking the reaction.
It goes without saying that the familiar opening that starts quietly, as well as the electric set from "Rock Show" that sparks all at once, was wonderful. With an acoustic set in between and an electric set to close, this well-balanced set is connected to the current stage, allowing you to enjoy Paul's diverse musicality.
The sound quality is so good that it's hard to believe it's his first appearance. It's not as clear as Boston, Toronto, or Detroit, but it has a warm, analog sound quality that is calm and calm, and there are no noisy customers around, so it can be said to be of high quality.
The content is almost perfect, with cuts in "Medicine Jar" and "Maybe I'm Amazed," but other than that there are no noticeable omissions and the stage is almost completely recorded. There are many highlights in this concert, such as "My Love," which has a long piano intro due to a missed timing, and "Silly Love Songs," where the PA balance is still poor at the beginning of the tour and Linda's keyboard sounds stand out.
Paul McCartney & Wings' Houston performance on the second day of their US tour is recorded in high quality. This is a permanently preserved, solid press edition with a beautiful picture disc specification.
