Sorry, this movie sucks

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Paul McCartney's first post-Beatles band, Wings, embarked on a massive world tour (Wings Over The World) in 1975/6 - probably the first of its kind. It ended up at Wembley Arena (aka the Empire Pool) in late 1976, and made its way onto record as Wings Over America that Christmas.Rock Show is the theatrical movie edited from the footage of the Seattle concert from that tour, dropping about 10 songs from the 30 or so in the full show. It should not be confused with the hour-long TV documentary called Wings Over The World.This show, well filmed and brilliantly performed and recorded, features the classic Wings of Venus And Mars and Speed Of Sound, and is probably the best filmed record of Paul McCartney at the height of his performing abilities.Edited to add:15 May 2013Having just watched the 2013 restoration edition, this is the first time I have seen Rockshow at the cinema. Restored and remastered, the missing songs have been restored and they are just as good as the rest. My videotape copy was 4:3 aspect ratio, so it was pleasing to see it for the first time in 1.85:1. The sound was excellent - crystal clear, even if sometimes the mix lost parts of the sound (it was a little too toppy for my taste).Two criticisms: one, some of the camera-work was out of focus (not much you can do about that!) and, two, only the audience was in stereo at my showing: the music was a single sound source from the screen. I don't know what they will have done for the Blu-ray.

I've had this movie on a VHS tape that I burned from a laser disk in the early 1980s. This is the closest you are going to get to seeing the Wings Over America Tour in 1976 - The sound surpasses almost all 1970s concert films. I have the digitally remastered WOA CD and it sounds like it was recorded yesterday - please release this film in a digitally remastered DVD! The direction is sadly...lacking (which is true of many 70s concert films).This is what Paul McCartney wanted to do with the Beatles at the end - become a touring performing band.This movie shows that dream realized nicely.

I saw this in 1987 on MTV I think it was. You know back when they used to play good stuff. It was wonderful. Why it isn't on DVD is beyond me. If someone decides to release it on DVD please use the same footage without any remixes as I never like remixes. I mean one should never mess with a masterpiece. I have a cassette tape of the original soundtrack that I listen to on my home stereo that a friend made me. I love this music. I think this was a great period for rock music. Please release this without any remixes and in it's entirety on DVD! Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch, they're all here. And they're all good. This is from the golden age of rock. You know back when people had to be good before they got a recording contract.

...at a theatre--but not a movie theatre. For some reason this played at a huge concert hall in Boston for one week only. I was a little disappointed by it.I mostly loved it. Paul McCartney and Wings were a great group and (I heard) always put a good show on. McCartney is always full of energy and charisma and it shows in this movie. Also the sound, where I saw it, was fantastic. They had TWENTY speakers set up so it was VERY loud but clear. Still, I can only give the movie a 7. Why? It was horribly directed. Half the time it was filmed too far away and during "Live and Let Die" (with strobe lights) I couldn't tell what was going on. There's also no directoral credits which should tell you something. Also the film was very grainy--they seem to have spent most of the money on the sound recording.So, it is worth seeing if you're a Wings fan. Otherwise you might not like it.
