      No Words is simply the best song ever performed live by Wings and by far the best Wings song ever

          Funny, I've always thought of No Words as the proverbial "weakest link" on BOTR -- not bad, certainly, but not especially memorable. On my list of favorite Wings tunes it probably wouldn't make the top 100.

              It's a good song.... but sits a fair way back on anything resembling spine-tingling or a differential or monumental.... a good #8 track on any album.

                  The nice thing about a live version is that you get a proper ending rather than a fadeout.

                    I'd love to hear it live again they could really milk the ending

                                      Well, the Band on the Run album as a whole is the only post Beatles album that's given the same relentless live treatment typically reserved for Paul's Beatles work...so why not add 'No Words'... Other than that, I have 'No Words' (or opinion) for this topic
