I haven't seen a whole lot of photos from Wings 1979 tour of the U.K. (the one that ended up being their last tour) and the photos I have seen have all been professional shots. So it was neat to see that a fan posted these fan-taken photos to the Paul McCartney website of Wings in concert on Dec 14, 1979 in Newcastle.
Hi Sara, my name is Paul Newson, from Newcastle upon Tyne, England - a mega Beatles fan since the mid1970s. What a pleasant surprise I got to see these two fairly decent photos of Paul McCartney and Wings posted here!! As a 19 year old, I queued overnight outside Newcastle City Hall to get my tickets for this superb concert! As a result I managed to get awesome seats just 4 rows from the front and pretty near the centre. I'm pleased you enjoyed the photos - possibly not quite as much as myself though - as it was me who took them and posted them to the McCartney website many years ago. I took about 10 photos which I still have, but unfortunately they have faded and blurred now, and so far I have been unable to find the negatives - so it was nice to see them in their original quality 👍. I have been lucky enough to have seen Paul in concert about 9 times over the years. 😊 Keep up the good work with the site Sara! Peace and love! Paul ✌️&💗
Thank you Paul! What a great message and memory from you of seeing Paul with Wings in 1979! These are great photos! I hope you find the negatives of the others you took. I will be seeing Paul in a few weeks for the 11th time. It is always a thrill!
yeee
