Notes


Dom Sportova Hall

In 1976, Wings brought their "speed-of-sound" entourage to Yugoslavia for a performance in Zagreb--the first time for any Beatle behind the Iron Curtain. From the opening chords of "Rockshow," Wings thunderously take flight; energized by the incredibly enthusiastic audience. A public obviously hungry for live rock 'n' roll and grateful that Wings came to their country. Note that Paul does a little verse jumble in "Rockshow" leaving the "relic of Jimmy Page's" for later in the song. An error any musician can make in a live setting--and something Paul is no stranger to--but I'll bet the crowd played a big part in making that happen.
The exhuberant applause is not only heard throughout the up-tempo numbers but also during the acoustic songs such as Blackbird, Yesterday, Richard Cory and Long and Winding Road. McCartney told the BBC a week later that it was by far the best Wings concert they've ever had. In our opinion, this is probably the most enthusiastic audience Wings ever played for in their entire touring history.
