From this tour came both the legendary "Wings over America" triple live album and the concert film "Rockshow".

This is Paul McCartney and Wings live on stage in a concert that is destined to live forever!

Steven Shorter is the ultimate British music star. His music is listened to by everyone from pre-teens to grandparents. He has no trace of public bad habits or drug involvement. Everyone in Britain loves him. His handlers begin to use his popularity for projects like increasing the consumption of apples after a bumper crop as an aid to farmers. The handlers decide that Steven should support God and Country next. This leads to, among other things, a rock version of "Onward Christian Soldiers," and the inclusion of a Nazi salute to make it clear (to the viewer) how far the British population will be taken for love of God and Country under Steven's guidance. Steven is very plastic in his direction, shifting as his handlers point him toward new projects until he meets Vanessa Ritchie, an artist who makes him look at what's happening.

Jane Richards, a young 4th grade teacher in the South, faces a challenge in the form of 11 year-old C.T. Young, a backward boy, whose pride has made him a stubborn rebel and liar. Jane believes in him, then discovers his interest in nature when he spends his time watching a caterpillar in a tree trunk as it develops a cocoon. C. T.'s devoted to his family and especially to Tanya, who adores him. When Tanya dies, despite Dr. Mitchell's efforts to save her, the embittered C.T. stays away from school; when he returns, he gets into a fight and gets sent to Coventry. But when a swarm of bees invades the classroom and panics the students, C.T. takes charge, captures the queen bee, and leads the swarm outside, earning the school principal's praise. But C.T. has urgent business: the cocoon's splitting and a butterfly's ready to emerge. He had meant it for Tanya, but he now presents it to Jane, who calls the other children to watch the unfolding miracle of nature.

Few artists marked the 20th century like David Bowie did. He was an astonishing and eclectic performer. A rock and roll revolution, that didn't belong in a box, and whose work brought a new dimension to the music scene and queer culture. Driven, fierce and always wanting to escape conformity. An outsider, a man from another planet. This show is about one of the greatest artists and rockstar of the 20th century. A visionary, an innovator, a provocateur. Extravagant, and controversial. He transcended music, fashion and art. His songs reached the top of the hits worldwide. A man who kept expending, exploring and evolving all his life inspiring and teaching generations of musicians about blending different styles of music. He was a true artist in every sense of the word. Infinitely changeable and unpredictable, he remains immortal in the people's heart. Through his ever changing reinvention, Bowie has become a symbol for fearlessness, innovation and creativity. He has become a true icon. A Phenomena that people will always remember, as he altered music forever.
