Set List critique

SusyLuvsPaul:
Maybe Macca will play some of the lesser known jewels from "Pure McCartney" at his upcoming concerts
Considering there has been ZERO mention of any the remasters from Paul onstage during shows, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there isn't any promotion of "Pure McCartney" during the tour.

RMartinez:
My Valentine is OK. It is not in the same category as Maybe I'm Amazed or My Love. It's a tribute to songs of that era. So were You Gave Me The Answer and Baby's Request, songs I prefer.
My Valentine is light-years past My Love. It's lovely, bittersweet, Gershwinesque. My Love is just blah, and one of Paul's most overrated tracks. Maybe I'm Amazed, however, is in a league all by itself.

Agreed, agreed, and agreed!

I love the song. My ONLY beef is he plays it for his missus at every damn show.
True.
I mean...you know, can't he sing it to Nance over breakfast or something?
-
I would love to see him playing Here There and Everywhere

Ha ha! VERY true! Besides, it's not like she is at every show. I can see doing it the night she is attending.
How do you know she is not at every show? I doubt she sits in the hotel room while he is performing. And until he either writes her a new love ballad or stops doing Maybe I'm Amazed "for Linda," I think My Valentine is going to stay in the set.
-
A perfect tribute for Linda should be "Warm and Beautiful"!

Paul's favourite song (and mine) from ATSOS. He couldn't sing it now though; he could barely sing it then! Those high notes...

Do you really think she is at every show he does? If you say so.

Oh, I don't know for sure that she is, either, but I think it's plausible, because she has been spotted at many shows, in the audience or in the car when he arrives. She does seem to be with him all the time.

If she wants to follow him to Sioux Falls or Lubbock, more power to her. I have no problem believing she is at the NY, London, Tokyo etc shows. But Missoula and Fargo? Hey, anything is possible. He does insist his wife be at his side all the time.

Usually Paul will mention when she is at a show, or as said, she's seen before/during/after the performance. She's been at more shows than not of the nine I've attended...the only shows I don't recall her being at were Fedex Field & John Paul Jones Arena.

I could see that!

That trip to Japan when he fell ill. No Nance on that trip.

Any thoughts about the new set list including a nod or two from the upcoming "Pure McCartney", especially tunes we haven't heard live (or in a while)? My picks would be Back Seat Uncle Albert Silly Love Songs What would yours be? Excited to see Sir Paul for number 19 and the first time seeing him on the tour's opening night. Fresno, her we come!

Mine: 1.Pipes of peace 2.Warm and beautiful 3.Uncle Albert

Is there an echo in here?......

Been discussing this on another thread. I've heard he's rehearsed "a bunch of new songs". I was given 5 or 6 song titles that were purported to have been heard first hand by the person who leaked. Each of those 5 or 6 songs were Wings and solo!
