Film Notes
In 1976 Wings undertook an epic world tour that brought their music to a live audience of two million people in ten countries, an experience captured on the Wings over America triple album. The climax of that tour was their performance at the mammoth Kingdome in Seattle, Washington, where 67,000 fans listened to Paul et al perform a setlist full of classic songs, including ‘Venus And Mars’, ‘Band on the Run’, ‘Let Me Roll It’, ‘Jet’, ‘Bluebird’, ‘The Long And Winding Road’, ‘Maybe I'm Amazed’ and ‘Yesterday’. The remarkable tour was brought to life in 1980 with this memorable concert film. Famed for the precision and quality of its sound (the amplification system used was the first of its kind, capable of 15,000 watts, compared with previous systems of only 1,000 watts) and spectacular light show, Rockshow is regarded by many as one of the best live videos of all time.
