Paul McCartney & Wings - Live At The Hammersmith Odeon, Full Concert

Venue: Hammersmith Odeon Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: December 29, 1979

In December 1979, Wings was at a significant juncture in their career, having just released the album "Back to the Egg" earlier that year. This live performance at the Hammersmith Odeon marked the final concert of the band before McCartney pursued a solo career, making it a pivotal moment in Wings' history. The performance took place during a period when the group was attempting to shift their sound towards a more rock-oriented style, distinct from their earlier, more pop-driven works. An interesting aspect of this concert is its connection to the "Rock for Kampuchea" benefit, which aimed to support Cambodia after years of war and famine. This not only highlights the band's commitment to social causes but also signifies the cultural context in which they were performing—reflecting a blend of musical artistry and activism at a time when Wings was transitioning from a successful band to the solo endeavors of its members.
