Something new I worked on with AdamBound!

"Recently a new Wings 8mm surfaced on the site Lola Clips along with films of a bunch of other bands, and I have taken the liberty of syncing the footage to an audience tape of this same show. Special thanks to Kitsu Beatles for his great restoration of this footage! Enjoy :)" - from Adam's description

the person selling it from Shortstack Records I have been their shop in Toronto so I know its real

FOR SALE: Rare Super 8 film: Paul McCartney & Wings - Toronto 1976
https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details ... onto-1976/

Hi, I'm gauging interest in a recently unearthed film of Paul McCartney & Wings playing Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on the Wings Over America Tour.

The entire concert was captured and has been preserved over 2000ft of Super 8 film. Recorded from the 5th row, the footage offers a close-up view of McCartney's first solo performance in Canada.

The audio is terrific. Previously, a single-LP containing a portion of the show was in circulation, as well as a later 2xCD. This original analogue source presents the complete audio of the concert, save for quick changes in reels.

In the clip below, the film is being projected onto a fold-up screen and I'm filming that on my iPhone, making it slightly shaky! Still, it gives a glimpse of the what the footage offers and what could be sourced from it with a better set-up. The rickety sound is the home projector playing the film and not a part of the film audio itself.

If you have any questions, please contact me! I'm posting this on behalf of the original filmmaker and will do my best to provide information to any collectors with serious interest.

I've done my own audio/video sync of "Soily" from this home movie before figuring out Adam and Kitsu had produced their version. Great job, btw!
My version is a bit different in terms of audio, so I decided to upload it as well.
