Notes: Wings performed at the Martinihal in Groningen, Netherlands, on 19 August 1972.

It was the 21st night of the Wings Over Europe Tour, which opened in Ollioules, France, on 9 July. They were Paul McCartney`s first European concerts since 1966.

Towards the end of Wings 1972 European tour Paul decided to film some of the concerts for a potential TV special.
It seems that all the filming was done during the day at the venue of the actual concert that would take place that night
and a "fake" audience was specially filmed for later inclusion to give the impression it was an actual live concert.

Production on the special took forever and was finally completed in 1977.The special was eventually remastered in beautiful
colour in 2018 and released on the DVD/Bluray portion of Paul`s archive release of "Red Rose Speedway".Previous to its official
release only two songs from the special were ever commercially released. Both performances came from The Hague filming.
The songs were: "Wild Life" & "Hi, Hi, Hi". Both were shown in 1986 TV Special "The Paul McCartney Special" that was also issued on home video in 1987.
