Rockshow
Rockshow is a concert film featuring Paul McCartney and Wings, filmed during the Wings Over the World tour from 1975 to 1976. The film includes 30 songs recorded from four concerts in New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles. The Seattle concert is particularly emphasized, as both the home video cover and McCartney's introduction to The McCartney Years DVD acknowledge it as a focal point. The production of Rockshow involved music produced by Chris Thomas and engineered by Phil McDonald in 1979. Some songs were edited for the film, with introductions mismatched to the performances. The film premiered on November 26, 1980, in New York, and was later edited for home video release. A digitally restored version was released in 2013, featuring a longer runtime and enhanced audio quality.
