Set List critique

SusyLuvsPaul:
We All Stand Together" perhaps he hopes that one stimulates a sense of unity in the audience--"BEing for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"--that song might especially remind him of John Lennon, for some reason, bring back extra-fond memories. These might be fun for him to sing. Something like that?
How about Hey Jude?
-
Gems like: Celebration Hot As Sun Valentines Day Kreen Akore Rockestra Theme Heather The Broadcast Fluid Front Parlour In Private Loup (first indian on the moon) Singalong Junk He could still nail these.

I just don't understand why "Benefit of Mr. Kite" remains. The reaction in the audience is pretty lame. "All Together Now" goes over great; just a fun little tune. I could use more Wings tunes; the crowds last year went bonkers over Listen To What The Man Said and 1985 and Another Day and Let Me Roll It, etc.

He has ignored his solo catalog a lot more than Wings so I would prefer them to Wings songs with few exceptions. If he would rock the house with "Soily" for example that would be ok.

I think "Here Today" reminds him of Mr. Lennon.

"Rockestra Theme" could be real fun for this band plus it give his voice a little break.

... Seriously, who's going to make that 'Alligator', or more safe, 'Big Barn Bed'-banner for the Amsterdam gigs? Do it two nights in a row and it's going to be a staple for the coming 5 years for the rest of the world to enjoy as well as "spontaneous" bit in the set, hehe...
Here's the signs I used at a show I attended...with no luck.
Super! Didn't knew you did this. The perfect choices as well. A shame it didn't work.

Interesting... over in the Budokan thread, nobodytoldme posted a clip of Paul playing the intro to "Martha My Dear" during soundcheck:
-
My wild left field guess is that maybe he's soundchecking and trying these new songs to prepare for a new tour starting in the fall. Remember, Out There had a 3 month rehearsal period, this new show may just drop in the fall, so he's possibly secretly rehearsing these new songs and testing bits and pieces to get a feel from the audience.
-
McCartney tends to focus on one thing at a time. As thrilling as it was to hear that "Martha My Dear" snippet, I think it was just a random noodling.

True, but the fact he learned this again says something. As said in the other thread, I can't be too surprised. A Beatles song not played before, of course they are playing around with it. He will add all the other obvious Beatles songs gradually in the coming years, just like he did in the last 15 years. Now, that the sequenced bit for 'Temporary Secretary' is "with them" on tour and comes out during soundchecks, which means the mention by McCartney is more than a quick PR blurb - "I met this guy on the street [..] I might add it to my shows" - that IS surprising.
-
I think I would faint if he did "Temporary Secretary" live in the upcoming UK/EU tour. But only after the song was over, of course!

Make sure that someone gets a video of that.

I would get sick to my stomach. I am getting tired of him doing songs like "All Together Now" or in this case "Temporary Secretary" when he has so many other better songs he has never done.
-
I don't think "Temporary Secretary" live is a smart move either, but I'd welcome the boldness.
-
If...IF he had a stab at TS, i hope it would go no further than the soundcheck stage. That is where dreck, even interesting dreck should stay. Juniors, Letting Go and Bluebird are too good for soundchecks and should be rotating through the set.
-
We'll never get Temporary Secretary...and if we do, I'll join all the other American concert-goers at the concessions I also have serious doubts about Martha My Dear...I think it's a bit high for his voice these days, and we know he's picky about which songs get key changes. As far as a new tour? 2016...a new fall tour wouldn't really make any sense considering he's already hitting the markets it would appeal to this year.

I think it was only a brief snippet, though. Not the full song.

The problem with a song like Martha My Dear is, like Another Girl, it wasn't a hit, so even if Paul does it live, it will last one or two shows then disappear.
