Wings "Wildlife" ICA

[Maccawings]

Brief, but enjoyable!!

I've been thinking for years that Paul should have covered "Summertime", with the same line-up and with the same feel as "Wildlife": would've been something special.

I think "Summertime" would fit in very well here

Brilliant thanks

I was able to see the full 85 minutes of footage finally. Was a fun watch. A bit repetitive but fun!!!

Not the feedback I got. I did not see nor was I able to listen to it but I was told Paul squeezed as much as possible from the tapes.

[Maccawings]

Well, having seen and heard the whole 85 minutes, I would disagree with that. Again, gets repetitive but I enjoyed it. But everyone will have their own opinion like anything else.

Maybe if you ever hear or see it for yourself, your opinion may change. But I wouldn’t hold out, it’s been pretty much hidden for 50+ years and no sign of that changing from what I can see

Where can we see this 85 min source?
Buggered if I can find what you're referring to.

[Maccawings]

Unfortunately, you will likely remain “buggered” as the full 85 minutes is held tightly by collectors. But a sample can be found on YouTube. I think it’s around 20 minutes of the 85.
Best that I can do for you

According to "beatlesonfilm.com" site.....
Approx 85 minutes of the ICA Rehearsals were filmed but as of 2018 only approx 20 mins have been commercially released.
Excerpts Only: "Lucille" (51 secs): "Wings Over The World" (1979) & "McCartney" (1986)
Arrival Scenes & "The Mess" (black & white) (2:00 Mins): "Wingspan" (2001)
Arrival Scenes & "Wild Life" (colour) (1:30 Mins):"The McCartney Years" (2007)
All 85 mins of the filmed rehearsals (in b/w & colour) are in the tight hands of high grade collectors only who mostly paid top dollar for their copies.

so i'm guessing its never been released on bootleg, unofficial release etc etc, and Maccawings are you implying you've only seen it but don't have such a file?

[Maccawings]

Correct, as far as I know, never been on bootleg or released other than the 20 or so minutes on YouTube.

I’ve known several folks who have it but been unable to secure a copy myself. But was given the opportunity to see it

And the stuff mentioned by Hitachi

If only there’s a way to mute Linda we’d be all set….
