@njr Thanks for the info! I didn't know George did double-headers on this tour, but apparently, it was quite the norm.

@njr said in Wings Reunion:

@wandy Found my George ticket pic - it was $8.50, not $7.50, but still a bargain! I think I only paid about $10-$12 for 1976 WOA ticket!

Is 10.30 pm the time the conccert started or the curfew?

Not going to happen as long as John Lennon remains dead, as George Harrison so aptly put it.

With Covid cases on the rise again throughout Europe, I don't really see an insurer underwriting an arena tour in the winter months, unfortunately.

Thank you

He probably did "From(e) me to you" as a nod to the location

Considering the setlist was the same old, same old, I wonder if t's really wise for an 80-year-old to do a two hour show (including voice-killing "Helter Skelter") 24 hours before his headlining, nationally televised gig at Glasto.

Didn't Paul claim to have given up smoking weed for Beatrice around ten years ago?

I would go for "(I  want to) come home", which was only performed on the "Good evening Europe" tour in December 2009. It hasn't even been released on record, although Tom Jones did a version of it on one of his albums.

I don't really see a European tour happening this summer, unfortunately. More and more acts are already postponing their planned tours to 2023 due to the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 restrictions.

It's much easier to tour just one country like the U.S. (notice how there aren't even any Canadian dates planned) than several states who each have their own regulations.

Maybe he'll do Glasto as a stand-alone gig or some UK dates, but a tour of continental Europe doesn't seem likely to me at this point.

Was it left off because it was the B-side of the 45 Get Back, so they wanted people to also buy the 45 and the album?

That would certainly make sense had the Get Back single and the Let It Be album been released at roughly the same time. As it was though the single had come out in April 1969 and the album in May 1970 so its more likely the Beatles simply just wanted to give value for money. They didn't want to release a new album with two of its twelve tracks having already been available / familiar for over a year. Such a concept is almost laughable these days when artists tend to release half an album as singles in advance of the actual album being released. 

The Beatles were always about giving value for money.... From the early days... We could come up with a pretty good album of songs they never put on their official album releases... which were just as good as the ones they included... It would be a pretty good album...

We could call it, hm, "Past Masters" or something like that
