Wings concert chronology

During the spring and early summer of 1973, Paul McCartney's band Wings performed on a concert tour of the United Kingdom.

Promotion

The tour was for the purpose of promoting the band's latest album, Red Rose Speedway, as well as the single "Live and Let Die" from the James Bond film of the same name. Prior to the tour, Wings performed unannounced at the London Hard Rock Cafe on 18 March in support of the charity organisation Release.

Wings' line-up for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Henry McCullough, and Denny Seiwell.

The support group for the entire tour was pub rock band Brinsley Schwarz who Paul and Linda asked to be on the tour after seeing them perform at the London Hard Rock Cafe's opening night a few weeks previously.
