I agree with you 100%. Wings end their American tour with a Bang!  I prefer Rockshow's version over WOA version hands down.

Agree it's a great Wings number

Rockshow's version and WOA version are the exact same, the film and the album are from the same show.

Soily is a song McCartney should be performing right now today, he needs to give the Beatle heavy setlist a break!

Though Soily may be from the same show, the album and the film were recorded at various venues.

I heard WOA's "Soily" for the first time recently.  (I am a diehard Beatles fan, but my Wings education is currently my ongoing project.)  I admit I was blown away.  

When I hear amazing performances like THAT, it makes me more pissed off to hear people make fun of Paul McCartney and Wings!  Grrr!    Paul is a great rocker!

Not all of the songs from Rockshow were filmed in Seattle.

If you need anybody to help further your Wings education (specifically the 1974-1977 edition), I'm here  

If you think the WOA version is great, listen to the Rockshow version.

They're not the exact same versions. Listen to them back to back and compare and you'll see they are both different performances. They are without a doubt from different shows. The guitar intro riffs are different aswell as Paul's vocal performance. Rockshow the film are mostly performances from the Seattle show and the Los Angeles show and probably from a few other towns. Wings over America album are from shows from the whole tour. The versions of the songs from WOA are really different than the versions from Rockshow. Rockshow is much better in my opinion. I hate WOA as a matter of fact. I think the production is too cleaned up and most of the songs are slowed down.

^ Agreed. WOA could have been A LOT better.

Is it just me, am I the only one that thinks there's nothing that special about the song?

^ Well. The lyrics made NO sense but it's such a scorching rocker that I don't mind the lyrics making no sense.

LOL, I have to agree.  I love the "sound" of the song, but the lyrics, not so much.     But great melodies are Paul's specialty, and he definitely knows how to rock out.

BTW, thank you for posting the video!   It was great to see.  

This is my first time hearing it.... FREAKIN AMAZING!  This has over taken Jet as the most rockin Wings song!!!
