Paul McCartney & Wings - 1973-05-26 - London UK (HQ Aud)

In May 1973, Paul McCartney launched a tour of the United Kingdom to promote the album Red Rose Speedway and the singe Live and Let Die, from the James Bond film of the same name.  The album would climb to #1 on the US Billboard charts, powered by the single My Love, which also claimed the top spot.  Live and Let Die, would reach #2 on the Billboard charts.  For Macca, whose earlier solo releases had mixed commercial success, this was the start of a 5 year run that would feature 3 more #1 albuns (Band on The Run, Wings Over America and Wings At The Speed of Sound) and a #2 (London Town), as well as 4 more #1 singles (Band On The Run, Listen To What The Man Said, Silly Love Songs and With A Little Luck). The UK tour ended with 3 concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon. This high quality audience recording captures Macca and Wings on the middle night on mAy 26, 1973, 46 years ago today. By the way, the opening act for Paul & Wings those 3 nights - the one and only Brinsley Schwarz who we posted earlier this month.  Note - while the sound quality on this may be a bit below our normal standards, we wanted to share it given that live tapes of shows prior to the Wings Over The Word/America tour of 1975-1976 are hard to find.
