"Out There" 2013 Setlist Critique and Suggestions

moptops:
If he could fit in Jet, Letting Go and Please Please Me... WOW!!!
Jet could replace Junior's Farm Letting Go could replace Paperback Writer Please, Please me could replace Day Tripper ...sounds good to me!!!
-
Not me! Jet has been performed almost since the 70s, keep Junior's Farm it's still fresh in the set and it rocks harder! I like Letting Go, but if you're going to replace Paperback Writer, you have to replace it with a song that rocks like it does. Same with Day Tripper, Please Please Me isn't an equal trade off. Birthday would be a good replacement.

'Jet' really does rock, but can understand why its been rested. I was surprised that 'The Night Before' was dropped, and its only been in the show a short while.

that paul removed jet from the current setlist and added a song like hi hi hi was a very big surprise. Jet is undoubtedly a great live song and I like it too. But I'm not sad that it was dropped because a song like 1985 remained. The decision is in my opinion a chance for further setlist surprises. Letting Go was really to short performed and Two many people par exemple too. My wife and me are also "tired" of Paperback Writer and others songs like Get Back, Blackbird, Here today, Somethink, Eleanor Rigby and Helter Skelter. This songs could easy replaced by other adequately songs like I saw her standing there, Another Girl, Sergeant Pepper lonely ..., Wanderlust, Put it there, So glad to see u here, Here comes the sun and so on. *Dream on*: Or this 6 slots could use to promote the new album *dream of*

Yes...Helter Skelter has long over-stayed its welcome in my book.

Actually, I would love to see "Beware My Love" as a replacement to anything - lol.

HI HI HI WILL BE ON THE SETLIST--IT'S GREAT LIVE!

Here's my thoughts on the setlist after having seen the show...it's probably the happiest setlist yet.
All the songs are very BRIGHT! I loved it and appreciate how deep and diverse it really is, but I think a little more contrast would be appreciated by the bigger fans. Eight Days a Week was a really cool opener and it was a very interesting choice...certainly a curveball on opening night. But, I can still think of a lot of songs that deserve the spot more. I'm also ready for Junior's Farm to leave...not hearing Jet really was a bit of a downer. Listen To What The Man Said was an excellent addition, hopefully that sticks around for years to come! I'm done with Paperback Writer...I've heard it at every show and yeah, I don't HAVE to see him every year, but I don't understand why it is such a mainstay. He should probably drop My Valentine after this tour too, it's gonna lose what little touch it has. We Can Work it Out and Another Day were both EXCELLENT additions to the first acoustic set. Your Mother Should Know was delightful as well, I'd really like to hear that again...same goes for Lovely Rita. However Mrs. Vandebilt and Eleanor Rigby are over-staying their welcome with me...All Together and Now and Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite were A LOT of fun. I have a lot more respect for Paul and especially Wix for tackling "Mr. Kite". Back in the USSR can go...along with Day Tripper and Helter Skelter...they kind of slow things down for "repeat offenders"
And Hi, Hi, Hi was AWESOME!!! That should stay in the encore a few years. Just my thoughts....
-
Kind of agree with you Wixrocks, Paperback Writer and Helter Skelter have def outstayed their welcome! Felt all the new additions were excellent esp Another Day, Lovely Rita and We can work it out. If Paul tours with the new album hope he looks to drop the older tunes that have been there since the year dot!

That's my thought. If these rumored Japanese dates come through in November, I'd like to think the album would be out before them and he could debut about five new tracks (kicking out some OLD ones!)

I also find it interesting to note what OTHER people want to have added to the setlist, so when I meet people I usually try to ask them about it somehow or after the show, what songs were their favorites. My grandmother has been to every show I have except for Fedex Field and Scottrade Center. Her favorite songs were Eight Days a Week, Let Me Roll It, 1985, Your Mother Should Know, Mrs. Vandebilt, Something, and the abbey road medley. A decent mix of new songs and mainstays (with a heavy dosage of BOTR tracks!) She really wants to hear SILLY LOVE SONGS! Some friends from high school went for their first (hopefully not last!) macca concert and their favorites were 1985, Blackbird, Lovely Rita, Ob La Di Ob La Da, and Hi Hi Hi. So Paul is DEFINITELY doing right by the new Wings songs if first time fans are digging them. Lastly, I met a young couple on the metro back. They came in from New Jersey and this was the 4th macca concert since the 80's. They've seen him in every decade...the songs they mentioned were 1985, Lovely Rita, and Hi Hi Hi. We also talked about the LACK of songs from the 80's...specifically No More Lonely Nights and Take it Away.
-
Take It Away is a personal favorite and I'd LOVE to hear that live, but I don't think he's ever done it before...no time like now to start, Paul?
