Wings Over the World is a 1979 television music documentary film featuring the rock band Wings.[1] It consists of concert performances from their acclaimed Wings Over the World tour of 1975-1976,[2] together with behind-the-scenes footage.[3] Also included is a short excerpt of Wings rehearsing at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts before their 1972 UK university tour.[4] Problems with the audio from the 1976 live performances delayed the film's release until 16 March 1979 in the United States (on CBS) and 8 April 1979 in the United Kingdom (on BBC2),[2][5][6] by which time, band members Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English had left the group and been replaced.[7]
