I had some Alligator signs that we'd run off...really cute with an Alligator & all. haha..I should find those pics. I'd love to hear Appreciate too!
nice! I never liked "Appreciate"...just not my style. Glad it never panned out. The truly missed opportunity of the past decade with new music live on stage, was not promoting "I Want To Come Home" more when it came out. To this day I love that song so dearly. It really hit me hard at a meaningful time and he only played it for a few months and barely at all in the US.
YES! I Want To Come Home is easily one of his best ballads, and best solo songs. Wish he'd bring it back

At the time I thought it was a 'Chaos' throwaway and his voice sounded shot. Nowadays I know it's better than 80% on 'New', a true gem, and it was the last era his vocals were still in great shape! It worked very well live as well, the gig I saw being in December, a depressing time anyway, dark and cold, perfectly suited and greatly placed in between 'The Long and Winding Road' and 'My Love'.

I adore this song!! Really speaks to me as well.. touching ballad up there with the Long and Winding Road IMO!

Typical McCartney move, play a new solo song while it is current and then discard it like so many others - oh well.

I just find it strange that all of sudden we are getting multiple stories on the Internet about "Four Five Seconds" and Kanye West/Rihanna. Isn't this OLD NEWS? The song was released in January of 2015. In the meantime Paul came out with the Reissue of Flowers in the Dirt just this past March. Yet, FITD is now history. I guess I shouldn't find it strange when I think more about it. It just shows how the "Suits" (Paul's Marketing Executives and Tour Team) are continuing to hit hard this "Career Spanning" and "Relevant" theme. I understand that this is Marketing and how you sell tickets, but as I (and Yankeefan) have pointed out...Paul's current setlist is hardly "career spanning". If you start from later period Wings (from 1977 on) over 40 years that have gone by. Paul's setlist (except for Here Today which he only plays because it is such a great tribute song for John) totally ignores the 80's, 90's and the first decade of the 2000's. O'h yes I forgot Temporary Secretary which is Paul's token gift to the "deep fans" as he recently called us. The Setlist is hardly what I would call "Career Spanning". He's basically ignoring like 30 years...from London Town/Back to the Egg through Choas and Memory Almost Full. As far as the relevance narrative (and I can only speak for the US audience) playing 4-5 Seconds hardly makes Paul relevant specifically to the "audience" that pack his US Shows. As Yankeefan has pointed out, 99% of the US Beatle frenzy crowds could hardly name a Kanye West or Rihanna song. I know that this is the way you sell tickets in today's Internet World. And bringing back the same stories of Paul writing with Kanye West is an way to attract the younger demographic and at the same time it gets publicity out to the "boomers" about Paul's upcoming shows. As Paul has recently said multiple times, doing tours is a big thing and involves many people. Just looking at the upcoming Australia leg, Marketing is a very big part of it. Just looking at the Internet relative to Paul, it is obvious to me that we won't get much "refreshment" to the One on One Tour. I will be shocked if we get any FITD songs (or any other great Solo songs for that matter). I guess Elvis Costello is not as "relevant" as Kanye West as far as the "suits" are concerned.

What I find amusing is the "Suits' don't know that most of his audience probably find Kanye obnoxious and don't think he is a brilliant artist. The younger people in the audience are there to see a Beatle legend and him doing a Kanye song is not why they came - lol. Really are the "Suits" that stupid to think young people are going to spend over $100 a ticket to see McCartney do one Kanye song - lol. As for Elvis Costello, the "Suits" should not care if he is considered relevant. He wrote a few excellent songs with McCartney and if he ever did show up it would generate publicity (especially in NY) and I am sure would get a bunch of youtube hits. Plus, those two performing live would promote the current FITD re-issue which is what most artists do in concert. Thanks for letting me know I am a "deep fan" - ha ha. It is sad that he thinks somebody who enjoys his music from his entire career especially since 1980 is a "deep fan". Really, does he think a song like "Take It Away" or "My Brave Face" are deep cuts.

I know plenty of people who have never heard In Spite of All The Danger, Letting Go, Birthday, or any other obscure oldie he pulls, who love Take It Away, Getting Closer, My Brave Face, Figure of Eight, This One, Hope of Deliverance, etc etc

Wish we could convince Mr. McCartney of that but the time has passed for him to do any of these songs IMO. He is 75 and happy to continue playing what he does raking in the cash.

________________________________________________ Thanks Yankeefan. I hadn't seen it in a long time so it was great to see it again. Loved the piccolo player. I'm not hopeful that we will get any new Solo Songs in Miami but I do think there's a good chance that Paul will do Penny Lane. It's been a long time since he played this true "signature" song and Penny Lane was recorded in the Sgt. Pepper era. It's far more of a true classic than some of the Beatle songs he is playing.

The fact they postponed the miami show for production reasons gives me some hope
I still don't buy the 'production reasons' line for the Miami postponement. I seriously doubt that there will be any new production changes whatsoever. I think the original plan was to perform 2 shows in Miami and 2 shows in Tampa, but initial ticket sales were not briskly paced enough for them to add the extra shows. So they left it with 1 Miami and 1 Tampa. But then they had several extra days off, with just 1 Miami and 1 Tampa show, so they just pushed Miami a couple days to tighten up the schedule. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

I think you are correct, don't buy the production reasons line. His team has done hundreds of concerts and I don't see get what they could possibly do which would cause a delay.

If I was a betting man (and I could probably get pretty good odds) I would bet money we will still get: *Temporary Secretary *4-5 Seconds *I want to be Your Man *Let Me Roll It to You *Mr. Kite At the same time, I would bet that Paul doesn't add any "new" Solo Songs from the last 2 tours (like the last 4-5 years) If I have my days correct, we will know in about 10 days.

The odds on this happening.would be like voting for a huge favorite at the Kentucky Derby - lol. I would says the odds are 4/5 that he does these songs and no new solo songs.

Excerpt from this week's Rolling Stone: Will you be doing anything different on this leg of the One on One tour? Basically, we're doing the One on One show, and we've just jigged it around a little bit. It's a refreshed version of it. And most of the places we're going to, we haven't actually played [on previous legs], so they haven't seen One on One.

So they "jigged it" enough for the 1st show to be delayed?

As I've stated in other threads, I seriously doubt the Miami 2-day delay was due to any "production enhancements" like they claimed. I think the plan was for Miami and Tampa to both get 2nd shows, so they left a gap open in the schedule for those tentative additions. But then the initial shows didn't sell out fast enough to justify 2nd shows, so they didn't bother. But then they were stuck with all these vacant days off between Miami and Tampa. So they pushed Miami down a few days, to tighten up the work schedule.
