Munich

This link finally gives us an image of Wings onstage at the Zirkus Krone. I had been looking for this for years.

Thanks a lot Josh !!!

I sent the image of the concert review printed in the July 20, 1972 edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung to your Twitter account. Here's my translation. I tried to stick as close to the original as possible.

A Beatles Family Idyll

When the Beatles appeared in Munich for the first and last time about five or six years ago - it was at the time they released the "Paperback Writer" - the Circus Krone venue was sold out twice until the very last seat, and also a third concert could have easily been sold. The Beatles stood in a row, Ringo at the back on drums, they played, three steps back, two forward, one back, and again two forward, the most beautiful practiced songs. Beat music, as it was called back then, stood before its climaxes. Today, the Beatles have long parted. Paul McCartney returned. With his new group, Wings, in a wonderfully beautiful colorful double decker bus, with his wife Linda, the rich heiress from Rochester. The promoter probably thought this would be the big comeback with screaming teenagers in a full Circus stacked to the rafters. The reviewers were assigned a seat in the gallery, so as not to take any seat away from a paying fan, the ushers were as strict as they hadn't been in a long time, but anyway: the venue wasn't even sold out. The very young audience simply hadn't turned up. In their place came the old fans that had already been in attendance five, six years ago and as always, Americans en masse.

Paul McCartney, who always came up with the most gentle beautiful melodies for the Beatles, still has the old show steps in his legs, but the others can't do them anymore (or not yet), and cool, well presented blonde Linda plays the organ, sings and moves as if she was still at Sunday school in Rochester. This ambivalence runs through the whole concert. The rock-'n'-roll numbers blast off the stage just as in the old times, but the soft numbers have become so soft they wouldn't be out of place in the ZDF Hitparade. Some would even have a chance at the Grand Prix d'Eurovision. The folksy numbers, such as "Mary Had A Little Lamb" would fit at every children's birthday party, and the hopes to turn "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" into a fight song for Ireland, has led to a radio boycott in England and in Germany to new regional scuffles, because someone had the idea to turn it into "Give Bavaria Back To The Bavarians". However, the original couldn't really establish itself as a great political fight song.

A new feature for pop concerts surely was the simultaneous presentation of short films with beautiful, long, colorful scenes of Scottish mountains and Camargue horses, of the landing on the moon, and flying sea gulls, of clip jumpers and sun protuberances. Culture film fragments, which are supposed to underline the universal and elementary intentions of this music, which is mainly the result of an Anglo-Saxon family idyll and as such proves that one regressive element of today's pop music. Paul McCartney never did a different kind of music. It's just that in the past he came up with such beautiful songs as "Wild Life" or "Maybe I'm Amazed". Give the Beatles back to the Beatles!
