(Wednesday, July 12, 1972; during the Wings Over Europe Tour) — Former Beatle Paul McCartney and members of his newly formed band, Wings, were filmed today in Juan-les-Pins, France, where they would perform at Le Théâtre de la Mer Jean Marais on the second stop of their tour of Continental Europe.

With 25 shows in nine countries through Aug. 24, 1972, it was McCartney’s first tour of Continental Europe since The Beatles made a three-city swing through Germany in June 1966.

Wings’ lineup for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell. The band, with the McCartney children and their road crew, loaded up in a brightly colored double-decker bus for the tour of the continent.
