The theme song of the 1973 James Bond film of the same name is probably the most popular of any material McCartney released post-Beatles. Just like a Bond movie should be, the song is fast, loud and over the top. McCartney’s concert version of this Wings’ classic is the same way – times 10. Complete with explosions and fireworks, even Sir Paul himself knows it is a bit too grandiose.
