Wings live: Wembley Arena, London

Wings performed at Wembley Arena in London, England, on 7 December 1979.

It was the 11th night of the 19-date Wings UK Tour 1979, and the first of four consecutive nights at Wembley.

Wings were Paul McCartney on vocals, guitar, bass guitar, and keyboards; Linda McCartney on vocals and keyboards; Denny Laine on vocals, guitar, and bass guitar; Laurence Juber on guitar; and Steve Holley on drums, plus a horns and brass section consisting of Howie Casey, Tony Dorsey, Steve Howard, and Thaddeus Richard.

Everything about this performance seemed designed to take the spotlight off Paul McCartney and spread it among the rest of Wings… The impression given was not that of a deity with a boxful of thunderbolts, but a band on-stage for the hell of it.
