For those who don't know the story behind this recording, it was recorded on the last night of the band's last tour. The Kampuchea concert would take place later in the month on the 29th at the Hammersmith, making this Glasgow performance their penultimate live show. Supposedly destined to be an official live album release, it was shelved in light of Macca's arrest in Japan for marijuana possession the following month. With the Wings' Japanese tour cancelled, the decision had been made after being jailed for nine days (of a possible seven year sentence) to break up the band. 

This show finds everyone in good spirits. The McCartneys owned a farm on the Kintyre peninsula in western Scotland, and Paul penned "Mull of Kintyre" there, bringing in the local Campbeltown Pipe Band to play on the recording. At this show, the pipe major Tony Wilson is introduced onstage after the song's performances, and it seems quite possible from a listen to the track that the rest of the pipe band play on bagpipes and percussion.

More transfers on Friday? Possibly.

    I started drafting this a few weeks ago but things keep changing. Feel free to disregard, if anything this is more of a diary / journal entry. I was hoping to have a lot more transfers but there is so much stuff on my February list that wasn't posted in years past that I really wanted to listen to. When the choice is the Itchy Pissholes in Vegas and The Who I will usually choose The Who. And I really have to listen to it as a few had inherent and correctible flaws such as CD skips and were thus trashed. And attempts at upgrades get me the exact same thing. Just merely being a conduit for recordings I have no intention of listening to just doesn't work which is why other than the odd untracked master I am not sending anything out I haven't heard. I always intend to post full comments and review but never do. Maybe next Friday I will have more as I recorded a few things and Vegas Anonymous keeps sending me stuff. Also found a treasure trove of untracked master recordings ...

My DVD Collection (Pictures)

 Getting some containers off Amazon but will probably be purging a lot. Not even watching anything right now and barely watch any of these. The format is terrible and those slimline drives are just foul. Dual layers? Even if I can get one to successfully burn now it will be unwatchable in a few years. Too bad, love video but can't make a career out of it. Or if I can, lemme know how.
