Reel To Reel: Man on the Run at the Grammy Museum

On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live hosts Reel To Reel: Man on the Run, an evening built around the story of Wings, the band Paul McCartney led through the 1970s. The names attached are Laurence Juber, the guitarist who played in Wings, and Morgan Neville, the filmmaker behind Man on the Run. For anyone who likes their music with context, this is one of the more interesting LA concerts on the early November calendar.

When: Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Grammy Museum LA Live, 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Through the Universe listing linked below. The source did not publish a price, so check it before you go.

What to expect

The ticket listing files the night under music and rock. The billing pairs a player who was in the band with the director who told its story, which points to an evening about how the music got made as much as about the songs themselves. The exact running order is not spelled out in the listing, so treat the details as something to confirm with the museum closer to the date.

Wings is a band people tend to know by its hits and not by its story. It was McCartney's post-Beatles project, and it went through lineup changes, a lot of touring and a long run of radio staples. Hearing from someone who stood on stage with the group, next to the person who assembled the film, is a different way in than a record or a streaming playlist.

The venue

The Grammy Museum sits inside L.A. Live, the entertainment district across from Crypto.com Arena. It is a compact venue, so a program here feels closer and more conversational than an arena show. If you have been looking for live music in Los Angeles that rewards paying attention, a museum room is often a better bet than a loud club.

Getting there

The museum is on Olympic Boulevard, and the Pico Metro A and E Line station is a short walk away, which beats the cost of parking in the district on a busy night. If you drive, the garages around L.A. Live fill up on game and concert nights, so give yourself extra time. Plan to arrive early enough to find your seat before the 7:00 PM start.

Make a night of it

L.A. Live has plenty of places to eat before or after. If you are sorting out your week, this is easy to pair with other things to do in Los Angeles downtown, and you can browse more of the same kind of show in our concerts section or see what else is on in Downtown.

The listing is the only place to buy, and the Grammy Museum's own calendar is the place to check for updates. Because the program is built around a film and a conversation more than a full band set, go in expecting stories rather than a loud show.
