Paul McCartney & Wings’ live album One Hand Clapping is finally out, and to celebrate the release, McCartney has shared a fully restored performance video of the track “Soily.”

One Hand Clapping was recorded in August 1974 at Abbey Road and is taken from footage recorded by director David Litchfield, when McCartney and the band hit the studio to film what was to be a video documentary and possible live studio album. That live album was never officially released until now, although portions of it have appeared on bootlegs.  Now 50 years later, the soundtrack to One Hand Clapping is finally available.

One Hand Clapping includes live recordings of such Wings hits as “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Jet” and “My Love,” as well as Paul’s solo song “Maybe I’m Amazed” and reworked versions of Beatles tracks like “Let It Be,” “Lady Madonna” and “The Long and Winding Road.”

Creed will release a 25th anniversary deluxe edition of its seminal debut album, 1999’s Human Clay. The new expanded remastered album will include the original 11 songs and rare bonus tracks including a never-before-heard complete concert from ‘99, recorded in San Antonio, TX.

The newly remastered reissue is set to arrive on August 16th on 2-LP vinyl and CD, and will include the original tracklist (including the smash hits “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open”) along with rarities, B-sides, and more. The bonus material is highlighted by an alternate version of “Higher,” an acoustic rendition of “With Arms Wide Open,” and a cover of The Doors’ classic “Roadhouse Blues” featuring Robby Krieger recorded live at Woodstock ’99. As part of Creed’s 25th anniversary celebration, the band has remastered its iconic music videos in high definition. Restored videos for “With Arms Wide Open” and “Higher” are available now with more to come.

Frontman Scott Stapp says: “Twenty-five years ago, we could have never guessed we’d be celebrating Human Clay‘s lasting impact while embarking on a whole new chapter together in 2024. Then and now, it’s the fans who’ve embraced these songs and found a deeper connection to them as they’ve progressed in their lives. Now, we’re reconnecting with these songs like it’s the first time and seeing the impact on a whole new generation.”

Neil Young and Crazy Horse are cancelling the remaining dates on their first tour in over a decade due to illness among the band members. Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s Love Earth Tour launched in April, with several other postponements along the way.

The musicians announced the cancellation of their upcoming North American shows in a post shared on Young’s official website:  “When a couple of us got sick after Detroit’s Pine Knob, we had to stop. We are still not fully recovered, so sadly our great tour will have a big unplanned break. We will try to play some of the dates we miss as time passes when we are ready to rock again! We know many of you made travel plans and we apologize for the inconvenience.  Thanks for your understanding and patience. Health is # 1. We want to stay and do more shows and more albums for you…. and for us. With love and thanks to all of you from Crazy Horse….. Neil, Micah, Ralph and Billy.”

In addition to seven dates in Canada, the following shows were listed as ‘canceled’ on Ticketmaster: July 25 in Bend, Oregon; July 26 in George, Washington; July 29 in West Valley City, Utah, and July 31 in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
