In a retrospective review , AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine explained the wild success of the triple album : " The Beatles mystique was still very much attached to record and artist alike — at the time , John Lennon had seemingly burnt out a major chunk of his talent , George Harrison was losing his popular edge and had done a disastrous 1974 American tour , and no one was expecting great things from Ringo Starr — and it seemed like McCartney represented the part of the group 's legacy that came closest to living up to fans ' expectations . Thus the album ended up selling in numbers , rivaling the likes of '' Frampton Comes Alive ! '' and other mega-hits of the period . " Two related releases followed the album : the TV documentary '' Wings Over the World '' and a film titled '' Rockshow '' , purporting to contain a complete show from Seattle . Although publicity material presented '' Rockshow '' as a document of this Seattle concert , it contains only five songs that were filmed at Seattle 's Kingdome ; the remainder of the film 's 30 songs come from the band 's New York and Los Angeles shows . Limiting their relevance , however , these additional releases appeared three and four years , respectively , after the 1976 live album
