The Opening:

The lights dim in the great concert hall.

A hush falls over an excited audience. 

Darkness falls.

Silence follows.

A massive screen above the stage lights up.

It displays a brilliantly animated galaxy's luminescent "sea" of quasars, meteorites, stars, planets, and suns. 

The dark sky is jaded with twinkling lights, suns, and distant stars. 

Gear-like stars circle planets, and planets revolve within solar systems. Silently but continuously, the galaxy continues to move until slowly, the shining bodies of the galaxy disperse into pinpoints of light and disappear. 

Darkness follows. 

Slowly, silently, within the darkness, shimmering evanescent feathers of light appear, spiraling slowly into one another. This continues, accelerating until a bright point of light appears at the center. 

As the waste hydrogen, asteroids, and debris of planets are pressed tightly together, the brilliant point of light suddenly explodes in a blinding flash of creation. A loud bang breaks the dark silence.

Silence follows.

Out of the whirls and swirls of glowing gases exploding into stars, nebulae, and galaxies, the universe is reborn.

Slowly, a tiny clear point of light emerges and begins moving toward the audience until it appears shimmering and jewel-like. 

As it moves closer, a giant, clear glass sphere becomes visible. As the sphere continues emerging from the depths of new space, a bird and a ship can be seen entrapped within the glass planet. 

 

 

 

Both bird and ship, the creature is both living and inanimate; a mythical ship's figurehead – its swan-like appearance symbolizing peace, love, beauty, and comfort – its ship-like nature portrays its peculiar and mysterious journey through the universe, treacherous seas of the past and the eerie, but intriguing seas of new space.

Light reflects from the planets of the galaxy onto the sail, on which a newly created sun can be seen rising in the sea of the new space.

On Stage: The band enters under the darkness of the hall. 

As the ship drifts entrapped in the glass sphere, a shower of meteorites and asteroids swish by hitting the glass sphere. With a loud noise, the glass shatters,  the sphere cracks open, and the band starts to play.

Music Over: the band plays. 

The band begins to play the opening song, to the audience's surprise and jubilation. 

On the screen:

The creature struggles out of the broken sphere into the newly created space. As the bird escapes, so does the audience.

The song continues while the bird majestically flies into the darkened space, passing the newly created universe's stars, planets, heavens, mythical gardens, and lakes.  

When the song begins to end, the bird pulls up its wings higher and higher until its body forms and freezes on the screen as a "W."  

As the spotlights shine on the stage for the first time, a narrator announces:

Voice Over: the narrator

"Ladies and gentlemen:

Paul McCartney and Wings over the universe at the speed of light!

The hall goes wild with roars and applause!

Note: This animation is only a conceptual storyboard version and not the actual concert tour animation.

Unlike today, when this proposed project was created, the use of CAD, digital, intricate modern computer programming, oversized LED video screen technology,
and other visual special effects were not yet available to be incorporated into live concerts.
Producing and incorporating this concert-opening Sci-fi animation and its special effects would have been an arduous and ground-breaking task.
