Wings performed two shows at L’Olympia in Paris, France, on 16 July 1972.
It was the fourth night of the Wings Over Europe Tour, which opened in Ollioules, France, on 9 July. They were Paul McCartney’s first European concerts since 1966.
A show on 14 July in Lyon had been cancelled. Wings played an afternoon show followed by an evening performance in Paris. The Beatles had performed a number of shows at the Olympia in January and February 1964).
They told us – ‘Watch out for Paris, the audience will be tough’ – but it was great. We are very happy with the response and the way the band is getting together.
