Are you kidding? Wings songs were done best when they were live. Have you ever seen a Wings concert? Its pretty awesome. I think it would hold up very well.
No, I wasn't kidding. I think the Beatles material is, with the exception of a handful of songs, far superior to Paul in his solo/Wings career. And believe me, I am a huge Wings supporter. I said in my post that I actually would prefer Paul to do less Beatles and more Wings, did you miss that? I agree with you that those songs would completely rock live. I would give my right arm for Paul to bring back Junior's Farm.
I prefer Wings live as opposed to The Beatles live...Wings of '75-76 had much more energy, presence and a harder rock edge on stage than the lads.
"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."
"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."
"I'm Joe English and I'm from Glasgow, Scotland." xD

i agree but i also think that they had an advantage over The Beatles in the same way The Beatles would have had in advantage over bands of the 50s.
The equipment available to The Wings Would not have been the same as what was available to The Beatles, There would have been monitors so they could hear themselves play better, there mic's wouldn't have been constantly moving about during gigs, there was so much more in the way of distortion and effects for the guitars instead of the fuzzy distortion of the early 60's, they would have had bigger sound systems for the audience to hear them better.
also with having monitors they would have been able to hear themselves over the fans and also the output of the speakers would maybe help drown out the fans a good bit, and as for energy and presence that might have developed as when they stopped playing live they were still in the sharp suited mop-top bow to the crowd and play nice stage ? .

Just going to throw my lot in with the fendertele camp. You just cannot compare the two. They are light years apart in terms of stage equipment, they could hear themselves play, and the crowd actually wanted to hear them, as opposed to screaming at them.
The live recordings of Wings are also far superior to those of The Beatles, even so the shear energy of those early gigs shines through, for me.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
Wings were very good live , i think the Beatles when they got on the roof still showed they could cut the mustard ?and im sure if they had got back together in the 70's they would have wanted to put on a really goodshow , Paul was already match fit ?
Thanks Wordno, I'd already seen it but it was nice to watch again. Now I REEEEALLY want Paul to revive it! It's such a great rocker, and I think Paul is perfectly capable of doing it well today. One can hope.
