Find My Way played at soundcheck

See it at around 1:00

Put it in the setlist Paul!!

-
No way!!! Thank you
The fact that there is a "Find my way "video playing suggests that it may stick around... -
And Women & Wives right after it.

Rather see him play "Slidin" which would be awesome with his band.
-
Sorry, guys.... I'd still far prefer Little Lamb Dragonfly!

Yeah, we all have our favorites but at least these are newer songs!

That one would never happen! Plus I doubt he could sing it.

Surprised that this wasn’t put in place of Come On To Me when Got Back started! It’s a much better song

While I'm not really a fan of McCartney III, I like Find My Way and wish he would play it and Women And Wives, my other favorite track from the album. I think he plays Come on to Me because it's his closest thing to a radio hit (cracking the top 10 on both the Triple A and Adult Contemporary airplay charts in the U.S.), though for my money it's one of the weakest tracks on Egypt Station.
But ya know what? At 81, Paul's not going to change his set lists because we whine about them. And, sadly, his voice couldn't pull off a lot of the songs I'd most love to hear him play. That's life. At this point, I'm just grateful he and Ringo are still alive and making music.

I don't think it is "whining" to wish Paul did some of his excellent songs from his solo albums in concert no matter how long we have been wishing he would do it. I would think most artists would take it as a complement that people wanted to hear their latest music instead of just songs from their famous group.
I am hoping Paul would sing songs from his latest album so he should be able to sing those songs - lol. It is not like I am asking him to sing "Back Seat Of My Car" - ha ha.
Paul couldn't care less what anybody wants to hear unless it is a song from the Beatles or Wings. He should want to tweak his setlist even at 81 to play songs from his latest album. First, it is playing something different which his band and maybe himself might enjoy. Second, he can sing these songs because he recorded them only a couple of years ago with the same quality of voice he has now. Third, "Find My Way" is a quality upbeat song and even if you don't know it, I think you could still enjoy it. Yes, it is wonderful that Paul is alive and making music but isn't the point of making music is getting people to hear it. What better way to do that than to play these newer songs to thousands of people.

@yankeefan2 Actually, he couldn’t care less.

On the contrary, his whole philosophy -- stated over and over again in multiple interviews -- is to give the audience what he thinks they want to hear. The problem is that the audience he's talking about isn't us, it's the casual/nostalgia fans who love the Beatles and Band on the Run and wouldn't know Find My Way or Friends to Go from the proverbial hole in the ground. Unfortunately, those folks outnumber us. For whatever reason, Paul seems to have given up using his tours as any sort of serious effort to market his new music.

I will agree to disagree. He gives the audience around 30 Beatles/Wings songs/hits every night. That is more songs than most artists play in an entire show. In other words, he is giving his "Beatle" audience plenty of the music they want to hear. Paul could play "Find My Way" instead of "New" or "Dance Tonight" for example. I am sure the casual/nostalgia fans don't know those songs and if they did would not be upset, he did not play them. I will even be bold enough to say he could play a song from "McCartney III" to replace "Benefit for Mr. Kite". Does anybody believe that people are coming to the concert and saying, "I hope Paul plays "Benefit for Mr. Kite tonight". My simple point is Paul can give the audience what they want to hear but on the few songs he plays that they do not know, just mix it up a bit.
I agree Paul has given up using his tours as a sort of marketing tool for his new music and find that sad. I understand he is 81 and is not in the mood to change much. That being said, if you can do "Find My Way" in soundcheck, how tough is it to play it in your set list.
