Paul McCartney & Wings Live Performance of Wonderful Christmastime

Venue: Apollo Theatre Location: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom Date: December 17, 1979

In December 1979, Wings was wrapping up a pivotal chapter of their career, having just released 'Back to the Egg' earlier that year. This album marked a shift towards a more collaborative and experimental sound, showcasing a blend of rock, pop, and new wave influences. The live performance of 'Wonderful Christmastime' at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, during their UK tour, brought a festive flair to the setlist and highlighted McCartney's knack for catchy, seasonal tunes. Interestingly, 'Wonderful Christmastime' was a fresh single at the time, and its live rendition captured the joy and energy that fans loved about Wings. This concert was significant as it represented not only a celebration of their music but also the tail end of their active touring years, as Wings would officially disband a couple of years later.
