Wings tours

Wings tours

Wings, Paul and Linda McCartney's post-Beatles band, which included Ex Moody Blues Denny Laine, embarked on a number of concert tours, varying in scale from their initial "DIY" tour of British universities to the epic Wings Over the World tour.

Shortly after forming Wings, the McCartneys took the band on an impromptu tour of the United Kingdom's universities in early 1972, showing up unannounced and performing for whomever happened to be on campus. The band's intended first stop on the tour, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, refused to allow them to play, so the band moved on to the more receptive Nottingham University. Admission to the first show was £0.50, proceeds being split up equally among the band members.

The last Concert for the People of Kampuchea in December 1979 was Wings' final gig.
