Wings Over the World is a 1979 television documentary film featuring the rock band Wings.[1] It consists of concert performances from their acclaimed 1975–76 world tour,[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 March 16, 1979 in the United States (on CBS) and April 8, 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]
In 2013, the film was released on DVD as part of the deluxe edition of the Wings over America live album.[8]
