Paul McCartney & Wings Venus and Mars Extended Version

Always loved this song, so I took the liberty to combine Venus and Mars and it's reprise and made it into a extended version. (made from the 2014 remasters)

Who else is listening to this on 2024??
Sounds just as good today as it did back when I was a teenager in the 70s

[shack]

This reminds me of my beautiful late mother. She loved Paul.

I'm a big fan of McCartney....this one is one of my favorites because he kind of captures space, which is really cool.

[jtfdan]

Memories of being a teenager when this came high and listening to this without a care in the for being a part of my life and making it so damned good!

[BillDeWitt]

How I always wished it had been presented.

[PorcelainSubmarine]

paul is the dearest musician to have ever graced the earth.

[MadisonCollieUwU]

I wish the first part would be the overall sound of the entire song. It’s sad but beautiful at the same time.

[Ukraine_Rocks-OK]

Surreal. Golden age of Paul's... He, Linda and Dannie are forever in my childhood memories... Love Wings

[RonRinaldi]

At the time i expected juniors farm to be included in the venus and mars album..but what a album...rock on lovers everywhere !!

[johnnyv.]

The 'Wings Over America' concert at the Forum in L.A. was one of greatest rock shows of all time!

[ForgottenMan]

Yea..This was my favorite post Beatles song from McCartney but always felt that it was unfinished. This was a nice move to heal that.

[LucasOliveira-xgec]

Lyrics:
Sittin' in the stand of the sports arena, waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine follows the stars
Venus and Mars are alright tonight


Standing in the hall
Of the great cathedral
Waiting for the transport to come
Starship 21zna9
A good friend of mine
Studies the stars
Venus and mars
Are alright tonight

Come away on a strange vacation
Holiday hardly begun
Run into a good friend of mine
Told me her sign
Reach for the stars
Venus and mars
Are alright tonight

I can remember piling into my friends small bedroom way way back in the 70's. We were smoking some herb and I remember that this song was playing with the strobe light and I thought it was just the most beautiful thing, still do after what, 45 years or go? Glad I found this posting, thanks Peter van der Ham! Aloha!!!

[phillipsmith]

Remember those days of harmony. Lovely..even in 2022.

[davidpower]

Excellent. Such a great song - I've always felt that he rather threw it off merely as a short Intro' (both to the album and to the song 'Rock Show') - and really never made the most of it. Wonderfully atmospheric...

I loved these two songs when the album came out and I remember wishing that McCartney had made it one song. My dream has come true 42 or so years ago. Well done thanks for doing it.

[JohnSmith-ioiw]

Wow and this continued version is really good

[Zorn]

I guess I needed to shed more tears today

[eric]

indeed, it’s a complete song in its own right and a favourite to plink-a-plink on the D28 around a campfire at sunset

[leecook]
