Paul McCartney & Wings 'Band on the Run' (Lyric Video) drums backing track
Built for players who want to hear the groove more clearly and get to practice without detours.
About this version
Some drum parts make sense on paper and still feel odd under your hands. This version is for closing that gap a bit faster.
Useful for
working on groove and feel
Useful for
cleaning up fills and transitions
Useful for
repeating the section before the section that usually goes wrong
A simple way in
A version for hearing the groove, fills, and transitions more clearly while keeping the shape of the original song intact.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
http://www.PaulMcCartney.com Directed and produced by visual artist Ben Ib. April 2014 marks the 'Band on the Run' U.S. single's anniversary, released as a 7" on 8th April, 1974 (28th June 1974 in the UK, fact fans!). The 'Band on the Run' album was recorded in EMI Studios, Lagos and AIR Studios, London between August and October of 1973. Wings were without a drummer at the time so Paul stepped in and recorded all the drum tracks. It was during the Lagos sessions that Paul and Linda were mugged losing their money, camera and the original album demos to the thieves! This unfortunate event didn't stop 'Band on the Run' from becoming Wings' most successful album. It was the top selling album in the UK in 1974 and reached no.1 in the US on 3 separate occasions. It has gone on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide. The 'band on the run' on the iconic front cover features broadcasters Michael Parkinson and Clement Freud, singer / actor Kenny Lynch, actor James Coburn, actor Christopher Lee, boxer John Conteh as well as Paul, Linda and Denny Laine The album was re-mastered and reissued in 2010 as the first release in the on-going Paul McCartney Archive Collection, featuring previously unreleased performances and rare documentary footage.
