Wings Over America was a triple album by Paul McCartney and Wings from his North American tour in 1976. In fact Macca wanted to be part of a group again and had dropped the Paul McCartney name from the billing.
The group were promoting the Wings At The Speed Of Sound album with the hit singles Silly Love Songs and Let Em In.
After a dodgy start when he first left The Beatles, Paul McCartney was on a solid roll from Band On The Run through Venus & Mars and to this album.
The Last Waltz is the live recording of the last concert by The Band before they broke up on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976.
The main concert was recorded at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.
The Last Waltz Suite was recorded at the MGM Soundstage.
The album is also the soundtrack to a film of the concert of the same name.
Personally I find it a strange album and prefer Rock Of Ages for a more authentic experience of The Band as a live group. The problem is that so many rock superstars were keen to pay tribute to The Band, the group rather got lost in the mix.
The Last Waltz finishes up as some kind of rock variety show. Interesting but not The Band at its finest.
Live In 1976 is a live album by Wishbone Ash which catches the Laurie Wisefield version of the band promoting the New England album.
This is the version of Wishbone Ash Mark 2 before most of Live Dates 2 was recorded.
Live At The Tower Theatre Philadelphia is a live recording of the Nils Lofgren concert on September 6th, 1976 available through WolfsgangsVault.com.
Back It Up captured Lofgren promoting his first self-titled solo album, this 1976 gig is promoting Cry Tough.
Live In Albany NY 9-20-76 is a live album by the Tommy Bolin Band a couple of months before he died.
This has some bonus tracks from a concert in New Orleans in November 1976.
First Time Live is a live album by Tommy Bolin (ex James Gang and Deep Purple) recorded in April 1976 at the La Paloma Theater, in Encinitas, California.
This is Tommy Bolin after he’d left Deep Purple and returned to promoting his great album Teaser.
The two sets played were originally recorded by the KBG-FM radio station and can be bought separately as mp3 downloads from Amazon.
Live is the first live album by Status Quo, recorded at the Glasgow Apollo in October 1976 featuring the classic line up of the band.
I saw Quo in about 1977 so this captures the band very much as I remember them.
The sound is basic but the songs are endearing. I’ve got this playing in my car at the moment and I can’t stop playing CD 2 because it’s such a lot of fun.
In 2014 a boxset version of this album was released with two extra concerts, from Sydney, Australia in 1974 and Tokyo, Japan in 1974.
BTO Live Japan Tour is a live album by Bachman-Turnover Overdrive recorded in 1976 in Japan.

Live in Albuquerque is a live album by Bad Company of a concert in March 1976 which was withdrawn shortly after its release in 2006. They were promoting their third album, Run With The Pack.
This is a shame because classic rock lovers and in particular Bad Company fans need a live album of the group in their prime.
Live Nassau Coliseum ’76 is a live concert recording of David Bowie performing in 1976 issued as a bonus to Station To Station Special Edition.
This is a legal version of one of the most famous and best David Bowie bootleg live albums.
It was recorded live at the Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York on 23 March 1976. Chronologically, it fits neatly between David Live from 1974 and Stage in 1978.
It also acts as a transition of Bowie moving into from his plastic soul days to the Brian Eno inspired Berlin based albums.
