On 23 November 1979, Paul McCartney's band Wings began a 19-date concert tour of the United Kingdom to promote their recent album, Back to the Egg.
It was originally to have been the first leg of a planned world tour, with further stops scheduled in Japan, Europe and America. However, it became Wings' final concert tour, after McCartney's marijuana arrest in Tokyo the following January.
Following the 1979 tour, Wings teamed up with an all-star cast of musicians to perform a series of Concerts for the People of Kampuchea at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.
Wings' lineup for the tour was Paul and Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Laurence Juber and Steve Holley.
A recording of "Coming Up" from a Glasgow date on this tour was a number one hit in the United States.
