the debut of "Alligator" (which sounded great).
Ohhh I love this song! Lucky you to have heard it live!!
He should quit teasing us & just do the whole album!
___________________________________________________ I got really excited. At first I thought Alligator and On My Way to Work were done in the actual show. While it might be unrealistic to even dream about Paul doing the whole NEW album, I am just hoping that he adds 3 or 4 additional NEW songs to the SETList in 2014. I will go practically anywhere in the US if he did this. Alligator, On My Way To Work, I Can Bet and Early Days would be fantastic.
As long as it's not at the expense of other solo songs. Who am I kidding.

Japan's not a great place to do VIP packages for a couple of reasons. A lot of people go (275 this time) so the logistics take time - we ended up waiting 2 hours in a corridor, and an additional hour on the stadium floor - the earlier you checked in, the longer you waited.
also not really specific to Japan. There is always waiting around prior to soundcheck, and I've spent 2 hours standing in a corridor at US and Canadian gigs with less than 200 soundcheckers. I must say THANKS! to everyone for your reports and reviews, please keep them coming! Glad you all are having such a great time with Paul.
That's unfortunate. I've participated in a number of these sound check packages over the years, and this was the first time this has happened to me. I felt that a 1:30 check in and standing for three hours for the sound check was a bit grueling. I think they should try to make it a bit easier on people (some of whom seemed quite old). In Austin earlier this year, for example, there were places to sit in an air conditioned room and people who were interested were taken in groups to the merchandise stand where they could purchase tour goods. In Rotterdam last year, they had set up space in one of the bars at the Ahoy where participants could sit and had access to food and drink. Of course, those were much smaller groups than today, so I thought that it was the number of people that made it impossible to provide some seating, but it sounds like it is not uncommon now to have to line up for a few hours. I'm a pretty loyal fan and don't have many complaints, but I think that artist management should try to ensure that 275 fans buying a VIP package (and bringing in an aggregate of $2.5 - $3.0 million in revenue) are comfortable during their experience. It will certainly help to create repeat customers.
REALLY!

Just so no one makes a mistake - the tickets on sale at the box office tomorrow for the last show in Tokyo are "obstructed view" seats - the information provided by the venue is that seeing the stage will be difficult, so you will enjoy the concert on the big screens. 10,000 Yen ($100)

I believe the final concert began 25 minutes ago. Hopefully there will be surprises!

'I've Just Seen A Face' instead of 'And I Love Her' ?

Just returned from the show (November 21st). Setlist reverted to previous shows, with "Listen to What the Man Said", "And I Love Her" and "Get Back". As usual, the crowd was great, and Paul was hard at work engaging the audience and overcoming the woeful acoustics and vast expanse of the Tokyo Dome. I think this was the best of the Tokyo shows, primarily because his vocal performance was much better than on the two earlier shows - his voice sounded well-rested, and he was visibly concentrating on staying in tune while hitting the difficult notes - which he seemed to do with relative ease on this night. It was an impressive performance and a reminder that even at 71, he remains a remarkable vocalist.

Apparently, "Big Barn Bed" was done at soundcheck!

I sometimes wonder if McCartney should have the sound checks be a separate show, like an alternate performance you could go to, but skip the main concert!!

"Miss Ann" is an old Little Richard song that the Beatles did during the Let It Be sessions.
