Notes: This is the unedited tape from the BBC current affairs TV show "Tonight" that reported on Paul`s Venice concert that aired in September 1976.
The footage includes a lengthy 6 minute backstage interview (Sept 25) as well as footage of Wings Gondola ride (on Sept 24).
The report concludes with 8 minutes of footage from the concert of "Rock Show" and "Jet".
Reuters news pinched 2 minutes from this report (gondola ride and some of the concert) which was then broadcast on various TV news programs around the World including NBC news in America.
Brief snippets of "Go Now" and "Band on The Run" were broadcast on "Entertainment Tonight" 30 years later.
A 2001 promo made for the song "Band on The Run" to promote the "Wingspan" documentary features concert footage taken from the Venice concert and possibly Wembley.
