Wings – Wings Over America (1976) (@256)
22 Feb 2008
(Review from amazon)
When Paul McCartney formed Wings back in 1971, it was intended to be a touring unit as much as a recording one. After spending the latter half of his time with the Beatles confined to the studio, McCartney was itching to get back onto the road. By the time September 1975 rolled around, Wings’ tours had been on the modest side. This latest one would last over a year and take the band around the world. The triple-album “Wings Over America” was recorded during this time and despite its heft, the performances within contained no filler and werebristling with energy from start to finish.
Wings’ secret weapon was guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, an underrated musician whose playing lit up the opening medley. Along with material from a mix of Wings albums, McCartney proudly revisited his past bydusting off latter-day Beatles songs which had previously been studio-only manifestations.
Being a beautiful triple live album, Wings Over America has an excellent sound and gives a faithful atmosphere reproduction of what a Wings concert could be.

Hi my friend. Is it possible you can find this album: “Jimmy McCulloch (Little Wing) & White Line” of Jimmy McCulloch’s ? I have searched everywhere but no one seems to have it. My girlfriend would like to listen to it. Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks so much for this. When I watched Paul McCartney on the Brit awards, I was thinking about the old wings songs and how some of them were so great.

I have downloaded this but was hoping for mp3 files. What are these OGG things and is there a way to convert them?
