Video: 'Paul McCartney and Wings - Live in Bristol (May 11th, 1973)'

(Friday, May 11, 1973, evening British Summer Time; during the Wings 1973 UK Tour) — Paul McCartney’s British-American band, Wings launched a tour of Great Britain tonight at the Bristol Hippodrome in Bristol, England.

With 21 shows in twelve cities across two legs through July 10, 1973, it was McCartney’s second tour of Great Britain since The Beatles toured the United Kingdom in December 1965.

Before their concert in Bristol Paul & Linda sat down with BBC News for an interview.

This was the largest tour yet for Wings, which included Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell.

Unlike the surprise appearances of the previous year’s Wings University Tour and the spontaneous nature of the follow-up Wings Over Europe Tour, here the tour was announced in a more normal fashion and fans could buy tickets ahead of time.
