Paul McCartney & Wings
Wings Over America & Rock Show
1976

Paul は、アルバム『スピード・オブ・サウンド』を発表後、ウイングス初のアメリカ公演を、合計31回、26都市で行い、
観客動員数 60万人を記録、ウイングスは、グループの黄金期を迎え、ロック・グループとしての頂点を極めた。
この模様はアルバム 『ウイングス・U.S.A.ライヴ !!! 1976』 で聴ける。さらに、ライヴ映画「ロック・ショウ 1981」で見られる。
1976年のアメリカ・ツアーから始まる、Wings 全盛期の熱狂のロック・ショーを伝えるライヴアルバム 「WINGS OVER AMERICA」 は、
アナログ盤では3枚組というヴォリュームにもかかわらず全米1位に輝いた。
(注:George の All Things Must Pass も、3枚組で全米1位)
この時期、Paul は、Live の中盤で、必ずアコーステイック・セットを用意していたが、
これは、当時、人気実力共に、世界最高のバンドだった、Led Zeppelin のLive 構成を意識した結果でもある。
(実は、Paul は、Rock Group としては、Led Zeppelin を、Acoustic Group として、S&G を意識している。
このWings の Richard Cory は、まぎれもない S&G-Paul Simon を意識した結果であろう。)
さらに、このアコーステイック・セットの、目玉曲、Bluebird のサウンドは、この 12-Fret Joint Ovation の 12弦でしか出せないサウンドでもある。
以上
つまり、Paul McCartney & Wings の楽曲を演奏しようと思えば、やはり、このギターが重宝されるわけです。
さらに、Tribute Band は、見た目も重要!!! この12-Flet Joint 、 Natural Color の Custom Legend、 12弦は、本当に、カッコヨイし、
Paul McCartney Fan には、なくてはならないギターなのれ〜〜〜す!!! やっぱりね! ね!!

Paul McCartney liked Ovation guitars a lot.



So his wife Linda decided to give Paul a special Ovation for a Christmas present.
She wanted the Legend model but asked if we could "dress it up" for Paul. We did.
The back of the peghead had this engraving: "Love from Linda."
