Wings

In May 1973, Paul McCartney and Wings performed in Oxford shortly after releasing their critically acclaimed album 'Red Rose Speedway.' This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it included the hit single 'My Love,' which would go on to become one of McCartney's signature songs. The live recording at the New Theatre captures the band in a vibrant, evolving stage, showcasing their unique blend of rock and pop. Notably, this performance features a mix of tracks from their earlier work and upcoming songs, lending an air of spontaneity and excitement to the setlist. Wings was still in the early years of establishing their identity as a band beyond McCartney's legacy with The Beatles, and the energy of this show reflects that transition beautifully, making it a fascinating glimpse into their musical journey.
