Monday evening cruise with McCartney; it sounded great segueing from the album version of “Nights In White Satin” and gong at the end. Guess ya had to be there. Take the word from a former radio station program director’s standpoint - it was good.

Such a great album. Not many songs that don’t suck. Unless, of course, you’re not a McCartney fan.

The bit that you skip #182: Wings – Band on the run
A person that used to write for Sloucher once mentioned that Electric Light Orchestra was an alternate universe “what if The Beatles didn’t break up?”
At first I thought it was the power of Tetley’s Bitter talking through this person, but the more I listened to E.L.O., the more I realised there was quite a bit of truth on that wild statement.
I’ll concede. ELO are not the full Beatles, but at least Macca. Last train to London could’ve been a Wings hit. Same for Evil Woman. Telephone line is a “granny music” as pure as Lennon predicted McCartney would always write. Overture 10538 would be a duet with George Harrison and his tactical guitar work.
Band on the run is Wings’ 3rd album and Paul’s 5th post-Beatles release. McCartney was trying his best but never quite achieved the recognition he wanted until Band on the run. Perhaps being the amiable Beatle was countered by being the one who broke the band. Fans can hold a grudge.
Choosing Band on the run is both a statement and a wild bet. Its structure is as far as possible from a pop hit. Then again, people do love songs with weird structures, as Boston, Queen, and Journey have proven. You get a slight proggy feel on the track’s opening, then a dreamy middle, and after that dramatic sting leftover from the Live and Let Die sessions, you get that Creedence Clearwater Revival chord dancing.
Many people who know me might be raising and eyebrow. I don’t usually listen to The Beatles, and much less so Paul McCartney. I hold a dear place for the fella in my heart, though. The very first record I bought with my savings was Paul McCartney and Rupert the bear’s We all stand together. Hum the song to any Mexican Gen-Xer and they’ll join you right away. I also was a fan of All the best! and there’s a copy in my house knocking about.
Band on the run might not be the one song people think of when you talk about Paul McCartney’s extensive, diverse discography, but it’s easily my fave, elbow to elbow with Uncle Albert. I like McCartney when he pushes himself to do his best. I don’t mind his mushy stuff, but it’s multifaceted songs like Band on the run that demonstrate why he is held in such high regard.
I’m not going to write The Beatles, though.

"The album was interlaced with relief, happiness, and a vilified hope that he could now move forwards a free family man, vindicated in his beliefs, and genuinely look forward to a brighter future".

It’s 47 degrees, carved out a spot on deck, poured some hot tea and put on some McCartney. I can think of worse ways to spend a Thursday evening. Jagger would sure love this late season snow.

It’s a cool way to forget the bullshit in the world if for just a couple hours. They’ve done damn near the entire “Band On The Run” album and a chunk of “Ram.” It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to sing Iong with almost every song.

"Jet" is a song by #PaulMcCartneyAndWings from their third studio album #BandOnTheRun (1973). It was the first British and American single to be released from the album. The song peaked at No. 7 on the British and American charts on 30 March 1974, also charting in multiple countries in Europe. It has since been released on numerous compilation albums.

I found this treasure while going through my CDs recently brought out of storage.
The second disc is interviews and outtakes
The booklet is several pages of notes and photos plus the fold out of more of Linda’s photos!

Birthday Six Zero around the corner and I’m reminded here on deck of birthday one zero; I received as a present from my folks a copy of “Band On The Run” by Paul McCartney and Wings (which I still have in my 600 album collection). Aside from the title track and other tunes like “Helen Wheels” and “Jet,” I was personally drawn immediately to the final song on the album. Think it was the piano opening that got me right away.

Wait, what? These are fighting words (see screenshot below). 😉
My. Myers’ oop-ed [sic] might pass as a random YouTube comment but one boggles at the notion the WSJ deemed it worthy of publication. “Picasso’s Last Words (Drink To Me)” is an absolutely exquisite, *brilliant* song from beginning to end. I’ve always considered it one of the peak moments of whole album! Wow does mileage vary.
Mr. Myers has an awful lot of explaining to do.

Gotta admit, I'm psyched to hear the 50th anniversary Band on the Run stuff in February, (remastered at half speed?!?) and then the 'underdubbed' mixes. Wild

Celebrating the first night of September, 2023, here on deck with one of the better tunes (IMHO) off of McCartney’s “Band On The Run” album. But, that’s just me.
