Paul McCartney's 1985 Concert History

Paul McCartney (born James Paul McCartney, June 18, 1942, in Liverpool England) rose to fame in the 1950s and '60s as a member of The Beatles, with whom he played bass and acted as a co-lead vocalist and songwriter alongside John Lennon. After the Beatles broke up in 1970, McCartney released his first solo album, "McCartney." The following year, he released "Rams" with his wife. That year, he also formed the band Paul McCartney and Wings, performing as bassist and vocalist with Linda on keyboards, Denny Seiwell on drums, and Denny Leine on guitar. While Wings disbanded in 1981, McCartney continued on as a solo artist, releasing his 18th album "McCartney III" in 2020. Including his work with Wings, it was his eighth album to reach the top spot on the UK Official Albums Chart.
