“One Hand Clapping” is a strange document a rarely seen "rockumentary" made by Paul McCartney and his then band, Wings, at Abbey Road studios in London, in August 1974. The film features the band playing live and also voice overs with each member talking about their musical experiences up to that point. Songs featured include Maybe I'm Amazed, Jet and Live and Let Die.You would have been hard pressed to have found a couple more in love and having more fun in 1974 than Paul & Linda McCartney. The unreleased ‘rockumentary’ One Hand Clapping, shot that August in Abbey Road, must surely have been one of their favourite home movies.
Lots of sequences feature just them (although lots also feature the rest of the Wings lineup) and the songs performed include four written by Paul for Linda.
When Paul, Linda and the rest of the band returned to the UK after their seven week working vacation in Nashville, Tennessee, there were many pressures on the band at this time. Having released their biggest hit with Band On The Run, McCartney was breaking in a whole new band with guitarist Jimmy McCullouch and drummer Geoff Britton. They had a strange mix of personalities to go along with the usual pressure of playing in the same band as an ex-Beatle.
The British press was running many stories about the clashes and imminent breakup of Wings along with the usual rumors about the reunion of the Fab Four. To counter all of this they produced this television documentary showing them rehearsing in Abbey Road Studio for their first true world wide tour and interviewing Paul and showing everybody generally in a positive light. The only problem is the tour never did happen when Britton was unceremoniously dumped from the band, and “One Hand Clapping” remained in the vaults, never to air.
This new release on Misterclaudel is their first foray into DVD (along with the simultaneously released “James Paul McCartney”) and is interesting without being enlightening. Despite the claim on the front cover, the master was NOT used but a copy several generations away. The picture is fuzzy and wavy at points and really shows its age. The sound quality is very good, as good as the Watchtower release from 2001. The performances are good for a rehearsal. It is interesting to note this is the only existing footage of Geoff Britton playing with the band, since he never did tour with them. He is wearing his karate uniform and even shows his moves during the drum improv.
It’s also great to have another studio version of “Soily” and the very rare song “Suicide”, one of McCartney’s first songs, and a rare version of “1985″. The interviews are also cool to listen to, hearing Paul speaking about aging and other topics. As it is here the documentary definitely needs some editing and work for a final product, but this is probably the best we’ll see of this until the master does indeed surface.
Paul McCartney and Wings Paul McCartney and Wings (also known by their original name Wings) were a British–American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney, his wife Linda on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes along with their commercial successes, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group's existence.
Created following the McCartneys' 1971 album Ram, the band's first two albums, Wild Life (1971) and Red Rose Speedway (1973) (the latter featuring guitarist Henry McCullough), were viewed as artistic disappointments beside Paul's work with the Beatles. After the release of the title track of the James Bond movie Live and Let Die, McCullough and Seiwell resigned from the band. The McCartneys and Laine then released 1973's Band on the Run, a commercial and critical success that spawned two top ten singles in "Jet" and the title track. Following that album, the band recruited guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton, only for Britton to quit shortly afterwards and be replaced by Joe English. With the new line-up, Wings released 1975's Venus and Mars, which included the US number one single "Listen to What the Man Said", and undertook a highly successful world tour over 1975–76. Intended as more of a group effort, Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976) was issued midway through the tour and featured the hit singles "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In".
In 1977, the band earned their only UK number one single, with "Mull of Kintyre", which became the then-best-selling UK single in history. Wings experienced another line-up shuffle, however, with both McCulloch and English departing before the release of the group's 1978 album London Town. The McCartneys and Laine again added new members, recruiting guitarist Laurence Juber and drummer Steve Holley. The resulting album, Back to the Egg, was a relative flop, with its singles under-performing and the critical reception negative. During the supporting tour, Paul was arrested in Japan for cannabis possession, putting the band on hold. Despite a final US number one with a live-recorded version of "Coming Up" (1979), after Laine departed from the band, Wings discontinued for good in 1981.
