Anyway, “Band On The Run” came up, and when Paul was singing the line “all I need is a pint a day”, I actually mimed taking a sip of a keg of beer.Ī couple of days later, the second gig of the tour was in Gothenburg, Sweden.
So we could shout to them whenever a silent break opened, and we could mime to them when they were playing. Anyway, the position so close to the stage was, as I found, a great place to be, because you could see how the band interacted with each other, and you could also interact with the band. There was no footage of me included, but friends of mine made the final cut. The concert was filmed, and I can identify scenes and people from the front line at Drammenshallen in the “ Get Back ” film from the tour, as well as in some live promos from the time. After a quick dash I found myself right in front of the stage, as the tickets weren’t numbered seats. I was very eager to see him and when the doors opened at Drammenshallen, I stormed in to get a good position in the hall. I was too young to go and see Wings when they were doing their 1979 tour in the UK, but when McCartney finally toured again after a ten year break, he chose to open the tour in my country, Norway. I thought I’d share with you a great moment for me. They must have had more copies of the “Rockestra” film though, because they were able to edit together a very good promo for the “Rockestra Theme” for the Wingspan DVD. Which is why the soundtrack is vastly superior to the images we see. What I’m getting at here, is that perhaps the one and only print of the film was stolen, and the version you’re watching on the officially released DVD is simply copied from a DVD bootleg? And even though the film itself was unavailable, they still had the sound tapes, of course there’d be copies of it in the Abbey Road Studio vault. Perhaps the original owner didn’t want to share a quality version and copied the film a few times over himself, in order to have something unique.
If you could get a copy from the original owner of the smuggled out film, it would of course be quite brilliant. And both picture and sound quality would suffer for each generation of the video you would get. The problem with trading VHS tapes was of course that, depending on your source, you would get a degraded copy, a dub of a dub of a dub. Qualitywise, they were in pretty bad shape, but still they were something new to watch, and having these unreleased films was a bit exciting.
Some time in the late eighties or thereabout, two leaked films started to appear on the lists I got from fellow Beatles video collectors around the world, one was “One Hand Clapping”, the other was the “Rockestra” footage. I’m an avid video collector and have been since the first VCR was brought into the family in 1981.

Has the original movie footage been stolen?

So I was thinking, this film was professionally filmed in Abbey Road studios and filed away in McCartney’s vast archive of unrealised movie and film projects, it should have been in pristine quality. Perhaps an indication of what we will find on upcoming bonus DVD’s from the “McCartney” and “Red Rose Speedway” albums? What surprised me was that the footage shown from the “One Hand Clapping” film was of bootleg quality, picturewise.

But yesterday I had the opportunity to watch the ITV “Making of Band on the Run” TV special, and they were using archive footage both from the bonus DVD, as well as some home movie footage of a bearded Paul with Linda and the kids and also a couple of scenes from the 1973 “James Paul McCartney” TV special. So I haven’t been able to purchase “Band On The Run” yet.

So far, Universal (who is distributing Paul McCartney’s Archive Series here in Norway) hasn’t managed to get their new product into the shops.
