Wings set out on this short European tour to promote their new album "Wings at the Speed of Sound" and to prepare for their upcoming "Wings Over America" tour. Besides the two shows in Copenhagen, the tour included gigs in Berlin, Rotterdam and Paris.

Tickets went on sale on March 1st, and the concert sold out immediately. Already on March 2nd it was announced that there would be an extra concert. It also sold out quickly.

It’s uncertain whether the entire band took the same flight, but Paul and Linda arrived on SAS flight SK504 on March 19th, late in the evening. They were accommodated at the Palace Hotel.

According to the newspapers, Paul had requested privacy during their stay in Copenhagen, therefore not much is known about their stay. However, we do know that there was time for a sightseeing on March 20, where they visited The Amalienborg castle, The Little Mermaid, and the statue of Hans Christian Andersen. Furthermore, the McCartney family was spotted in an antique shop in North Zealand.

The McCartney family left Copenhagen and took a late flight bound for Berlin on March 22nd.

- Kurt Madsen (1st show)

Saturday, March 20, 1976, was another memorable day in my calendar. For the second time, I was going to a concert with my great idol, Paul McCartney. This time, a few members of his group, Wings, had been replaced compared to my first concert experience in Aarhus in 1972.

In 1976 I was called up for military service in Aalborg, but unfortunately/fortunately I just had surgery on my hand and was therefore sent home on sick leave around the time of the concert. As a conscript there was free transport with DSB, so off to Copenhagen, even though the money was small. Overnight stay with a friend in Malmö. So the only expense was the concert ticket for 80 kr.

The concert was part of the "Wings over the World" tour. The setlist featured a mix of Wings hits, new material from "Wings at the speed of Sound", and for the first time, a number of Beatles songs. The concert opened with "Venus and Mars" and ended with the encores "Hi Hi Hi" and "Soily".

Due to enormous demand for tickets, an extra concert was arranged at the same venue the following day.

In order to take good photos for the concert, I had rented a large camera from a store in Copenhagen.It had to be picked up in the afternoon before the concert and returned the next day. I got 5 minutes of instruction and then off to the Falkoner Center, so there was a little stress. It's a little easier these days with small mobile phones

- Michael Theet (2nd show)

I have been to many concerts, but this one has made a huge impact on me. I went to the second concert, since I didn't get a ticket to the first one. Expectations were high, and I learned from a friend who saw the first concert that the show was absolutely amazing. And I was not disappointed. They performed the songs with a rock-like expression that went beyond the sound on their records, and they showed great energy. Both suited the songs well. And this was a Wings concert, not a McCartney solo :-). Each member of the band had their moment in the spotlight. After the concert, many of us waited at the side entrance, hoping for autographs, but we weren't allowed to get close, so we only got a 'Hi guys!' from McCartney as he was getting into the car.
