Welcome to Cottage Views' Wings Re-union Photo Page!
On Sunday, March 23, 1997, three former members of Paul McCartney and Wings re-united for a one-off concert at Beatlefest which was held at the Meadowlands Hilton Hotel in E. Rutherford, NJ.
The event was spontaneous, as Laurence Juber was to perform in the afternoon and Denny Laine in the evening. A jam session was rumored, but when drummer Steve Holley showed up it was a full blown concert.
Rock journalist Michael A. Cimino was there to interview Denny Laine and took several rolls of film that day. Following is a selection from his private archives.
