PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS – ST. PAUL 1976: SUPER 8 UPGRADE (DVD-R)

Description

St. Paul Civic Center, St. Paul, MN, USA 4th June 1976
UPGRADE!!!

　St. Paul has long been well-received among enthusiasts as an amazing 8mm video from Wings’ 1976 Over America tour. Because of the stunning angle, which seems to have been shot from the front row, it was previously a huge hit with the gift “ST. PAUL 1976 SUPER 8 2019 REMASTERED EDTION.”

　This gift was highly praised among enthusiasts as it was a stunning upgrade to the 8mm footage that had been familiar since the VHS era, but now, in 2026, when technology has advanced, enthusiasts have scanned the footage in 4K.

　The result is a dramatic improvement in image quality. Even the previous version was so good that it could easily be mistaken for an outtake from the film “Rock Show,” but the stunning quality of this 4K scan makes it seem like it could actually be unused footage from the film.

　Speaking of St. Paul’s 8mm footage, there was a masterpiece scene where Paul’s eyes met while playing “Jet” because it was shot from the front row, but the close-up feeling was also outstanding. On the contrary, when it comes to the close-up of this video, which has been well-established since the VHS era, it is already a professional shot itself.

The incredible close-up of Paul’s face and his right hand gripping the neck of his Rickenbacker guitar remains intact, and thanks to the 4K scan, even the finest details can now be seen clearly.

On the contrary, it is surprising that even the sweat dripping from Paul’s forehead, who is singing “Spirits Of Ancient Egypt” sung by Denny Lane, can be clearly seen. The image quality is finally approaching the “ROCK SHOW” level.

　Also, when an acoustic song begins, scenes that were not visible in “ROCK SHOW,” such as staff carrying chairs from the wings, are captured, which is valuable. And yet, the audience recording from the same day has been meticulously dubbed, making it even easier to watch.

Furthermore, it is also valuable that the scene where Paul heads to St. Paul in a limousine is recorded longer than the previous gift version.

　The bonus feature is 8mm footage of the opening night at the Cow Palace, held 10 days after the St. Paul performance. This is a long-angle shot of less than 10 minutes, but the 4K scanned image quality is also extremely clear and worth watching.

In fact, the long-distance angle allows for a panoramic view of the entire stage, and the lighting effects in “You Gave Me The Answer,” for example, are things that were not visible in the film “Rock Show,” which mainly featured close-up shots.

In addition, the audio was recorded simultaneously with the video, but the only thing that seemed to be a problem was “Lady Madonna,” which was a bonus for the official “OVER AMERICA” deluxe edition, and the sound board from the same day was dubbed.
In this way, you can enjoy the image quality improved to the maximum by the latest 4K scanning technology, coupling the precious 8mm video of Wings in 1976!
