Paul McCartney,Wings/WA,USA 1976 Upgrade

The now defunct Kingdome in Seattle. When the stadium opened in March 1976, it was a large venue boasting state-of-the-art equipment, and along with Pontiac’s Silver Dome, the supergroups of the time all held concerts there. Led Zeppelin is the best example, and the release of the definitive soundboard album “SEATTLE 1977” based on live footage from 1977 is still fresh in my memory. As you can see from the professional shot video that is the source of their sound, Kingdome can draw in more than 60,000 people during a concert, so they have installed a state-of-the-art video system that projects the concert on a screen inside the venue. It was equipped with the following. Wings was the first rock group to benefit from Kingdome’s state-of-the-art facilities and ability to attract large audiences. In fact, the first rock concert at Kingdome (June 10th) was with Wings, and by starting with them, the image is created that it is a large venue used when big names hold concerts in Seattle. Furthermore, speaking of Kingdome and Wings, the movie “ROCKSHOW” from the 1976 Over America tour comes to mind. The movie was recorded at the Kingdome because the opening was exactly the performance of “Venus And Mars / Rock Show” at the Kingdome, and it was also rumored that it would be recorded at the same venue for a while after its release. That’s just what I thought it was. However, research conducted by maniacs over the past 20 years has revealed that there were actually only four takes of Kingdome, and most of them were recorded at the LA Forum during the Senshu Raku tour. I did. However, at Kingdome, there is a different video of Wings’ stage than “ROCKSHOW” for the reason mentioned above. That was the video for the screen that day. This video was leaked in the 1990s, but at the time, people thought it was “ROCKSHOW” and “Kingdom”, so it was simply taken as an outtake of the “ROCKSHOW” video. Ta. However, while “ROCKSHOW” was actually recorded on movie film, the screen footage was recorded on videotape. Therefore, the shooting route and image quality are completely different. And above all, it contained the great value of being able to see an abundance of Real Kingdom performances, which were rare in “ROCKSHOW”. However, unlike “ROCKSHOW”, this video was not intended to be released to the public, but was merely a screen shot recorded for archival purposes. As a result, there was a big cut in Jimmy McCulloch’s “Medicine Jar” just as he started playing his guitar solo, and unfortunately, due to an unfortunate videotape change, “Yesterday” was not recorded in its entirety. will be greatly missed. And the second half of the live performance is not recorded. Due to this recording condition and the fact that most of the footage was initially misunderstood as being dubbed “ROCKSHOW,” it did not receive much attention, even though it was an extremely valuable video. The value of this video is not only that it records the genuine Kingdome stage, but also that it is highly valuable as a document that allows you to see the relaxing scenes between songs, which were mostly cut out in “ROCKSHOW”. For example, Paul’s playful appearance after finishing “Lady Madonna.” Or, after finishing “Yesterday,” Paul and Denny Laine laugh aloud about something (Trevor Jones is setting up the microphone behind him). And how he sat and relaxed between songs in an acoustic set. It is said that most of these relaxing scenes that are unique to live performances were cut from the movie. Also, “ROCKSHOW”, which was shot on film, had a dark overall impression, but this one gives you a better sense of the brightness of the actual stage, which is unique to video. Regarding the audio, it is a video feed sound board like ZEP’s Kingdome, but it is famous that “ROCKSHOW” had completely replaced Linda and Denny’s backing chorus, and even overdubbed the cheers. Therefore, this one is more valuable in that it also conveys the vividness of an actual live performance that cannot be replaced. And although it has been familiar since the video era as a professional shot video, as the distribution branched out, it resulted in a flood of pale copies. In fact, this situation seems to be more common now. However, this time, we have exclusively obtained a copy with bright colors that has been dubbed only a few times, and made it into DVD. As I said earlier, the video was not originally intended for public release, and there is some graininess of the 1970s video image, but the quality is definitely lower than the versions that were circulating in the past. It’s improving. In addition, for this release, rather than simply recording footage for the screen, we have added the scene before the start of the Kingdome concert, which was seen in the tour document “WINGS OVER THE WORLD”, to create a sense of realism at the concert. Furthermore, as a video adjustment that will make enthusiasts groan, King Dome’s performance scene that was broadcast on the American news program “GOODNIGHT AMERICA” is additionally included. Of particular note is “Yesterday.” The performance scene of the same song, which unfortunately was not recorded on video, is completely recorded here. This is a film shoot, but the angle is completely different from “ROCKSHOW”, and it is a stylish production that slightly overlaps the Beatles’ “A HARD DAY’S NIGHT” live scene. The two songs at the end of the live show were also played during “GOODNIGHT AMERICA”, but these are fragments like a news program. However, this careful editing has resulted in the longest version of the Kingdome video. In other words, it is a video item that not only conveys the upper feeling of the screen image itself, but also conveys the enthusiasm of the real Kingdom Show even more than “ROCKSHOW”. I think there are many enthusiasts who don’t even know that news footage existed in Kingdome in the first place. Therefore, the longest and best version is finally here, which will definitely satisfy even the enthusiasts who have been accustomed to watching it since the video era! ・Leaked pro shot with a different camera angle from the movie “Rockshow” ・Upgraded source with more vivid colors than previously released ・Missing “Yesterday”, “Silly Love Songs” and “Band On The Run” are from the broadcast source of Monday Night Special Complementary footage from “Wings Over The World” before the performance The Kingdome, Seattle, Washington, USA 10th June 1976 PRO-SHOT(UPGRADE) 1.
