Rock Show by Paul McCartney – ****

First released: 1975

After a sweet beginning with "Venus and Mars", McCartney lets all hell break loose with one of his best rockers ever. In it he makes references to Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles. It was part of the "Venus and Mars"/"Rock Show" single A live version was performed and released on "Wings Over America" in 1976. Incidentally, "concertgebow" means concert building, if you were wondering.

And my guess is that Paul's refering to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam which is very much a going concern:
