    1980 • For Paul McCartney & Wings

Rockshow“, the live concert film from the 1976 Wings era, is released on DVD / Blu-Ray in the UK, a day before its UK release.

From paulmccartney.com, April 9, 2013:

For the first time a DVD will be released by Eagle Rock of the live concert film ‘Rockshow’ which was shot in 1976 when Paul McCartney & Wings undertook the epic ‘Wings over the World’ tour which was the largest-scale tour they would ever undertake as a band.

Packed with all the classic Wings hits – plus some of The Beatles’ and Paul’s solo classics – the film is released on both DVD and Blu-ray formats. Although filmed on this tour at the enormous Kingdome in Seattle, ‘Rockshow’, originally a cut down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London.

It was originally released on Betamax (later on laserdisc) but it’s only now that the complete full length concert is being made available fully restored from the original 35mm film and with restored & remastered sound, including a 5.1 mix for the first time.
