Wings

In December 1979, Wings was on the verge of releasing their album 'Back to the Egg,' which came out just a few months later in June 1980. This live performance at the Hammersmith Odeon during the 'Rock for Kampuchea' series showcased Paul McCartney and his band at a pivotal moment in their career, as they were exploring a fresh sound and experimenting with new musical ideas. It’s fascinating because, while they were no longer the dominant force they had been in the early '70s, this performance revitalized their image, highlighting McCartney's enduring appeal as a live performer. The concert was a benefit for humanitarian causes, adding another layer of significance to the event beyond mere entertainment.
