Why was it so short gig? 30 songs instead of 40
I think it's because of a few reasons: 1) The Budokan closes earlier than other venues, and 2) I believe a judo tournament was taking place the very next day, so they had to break down the stage as soon as possible, and 3) The soundcheck ran a little long, so the start time was pushed back a bit.
Not because it's just 20,000 seats, right?
Why would the audience capacity matter in terms of long a show is?
It doesn't need to, I just wanted to be sure that the concert in Amsterdam will not be short because it has only seats 17,000.

A lot of his special shows or surprise gigs in smaller venue were done with shorter set list than his usual stadium/arena shows. Nothing new.

Look at the reaction even just one new song can muster. It can be done!!! Another Girl wasn't soundchecked either, so the "oomph" factor is there! More of it please Paul!!!
Looks like "Another Girl" was soundchecked in Budokan. Not too sure about "Penny Lane" being played twice?? 1.Matchbox 2.Honey Don?t 3.Flaming Pie 4.Penny Lane 5.Got To Get You Into My Life 6.Another Girl 7.Penny Lane 8.C Moon 9.Celebration 10.It?s So Easy 11.San Francisco Bay Blues 12.Midnight Special 13.Dance Tonight 14.Bluebird 15.Lady Madonna

Penny Lane was sound-checked third times. I have no idea why he had to drop it. Koichi

Penny Lane is one of the songs that gets soundchecked every now and then, even though it is not often done at the actual concerts. I'm assuming it will be performed in Liverpool.
-
I thought the wristband lights in The End look pretty cool. The place is really rocking out and the lights adds another dimension of excitment. Is this an exclusive thing they did for this concert? (haven't seen this anywhere else, however I only watch McCartney videos).
Are they twinkling in snyc and how is it they all shut off at once at the break? -

They let it light up during slower songs, and as we've seen in pictures sometimes formed the Union Jack and the Japanese flag.

I was commenting on the fact that Penny Lane was listed twice at the Budokan soundcheck...I wonder if they actually played it twice or was the list incorrect.

Budokan has great acoustics. Hoping a bootleg of this concert will pop up!

Very likely. He soundchecked it at Manchester in 2011, for playing at Liverpool. Likewise Mull.

Cool photo! BTW, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick posted on FB that Cheap Trick played their legendary concert at Budokan on April 28, 1978 and Paul played there April 28, 2015! Fab!

Thank you my friend, where did you get the soundcheck set list, Jorie's? a friend of mine have told me there was no VIP (Hot Sound) available just for Budokan, is this correct? So, it was a private soundcheck ?

NME has an exclusive footage from the show, which shows the big man in action, with live clips of Macca's renditions of 'Can't Buy Me Love' and his solo song 'Save Us' from 2013's 'New' album. It also features emotive interviews with his dedicated Japanese fanbase, including a giddy chat with a woman who attended the Budokan Beatles gig in the 1960s after bunking off school. Watch the clip below. http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/paul-mccartney-returned-to-japan-this-week-to-make-beatles-history-watch-what-happened

No doubt after it goes to Abbey Road for sweetening? That would explain the long gap between taping and broadcast.

They broadcasted the Tokyo 2013 show complete so since this is a shorter show Id imagine this would be complete
