A sizebale group had wished for "Venus & Mars/Rockshow" as well, and we were all gape-jawed when Paul kicked off his 2010 tour with it.
This is very true!!! Too Many People, Hope of Deliverance, Come and Get It and Letting Go have been the biggest shocks in the last 10 years for me personally. They all came completely out of nowhere!!
I'm curious: What song(s) would totally shock you these days?
mamunia...it's off his favorite album.
Let's see what happens...

Contenders for the "2012" section, friends?

I had NO IDEA he played She's a Woman so recently!!! I've always thought that it would be one of the best (if not the best) early Beatles song for him to play in his set. Better than All My Loving in my book! BRING IT BACK!!

I stand by this 100% I'm also really hoping that his experience at African Express has reminded him how great Goodnight Tonight is! He sounded so fantastic playing it. And he sounded great on Coming Up! In my opinion, that should be a staple, not a rarity in the set!

I've been mulling the idea of adding that to this thread, but since it wasn't technically a McCartney gig...or maybe I'm just splitting hairs. Regardless, Paul seemed like a re-invigorated man that night.

My absolute favourite out of the blue addition was Letting Go. That rocked and I'll never understand why he drops amazing sounding Wings songs over tired sounding Beatls songs.

Despite an amazing concert in St. Louis last night -- not to mention Paul's amazing vocal performance... ...nothing to add to the list.

True, nothing list worthy....but "Birthday" was unexpected to me...not new, but unexpected.

Sandy Relief ConcertCouple of observations and note. First, it appears to me Europeans seem much more excited to hear Wings/Solo songs than Americans from these videos. Second, the band seems more energized when they are playing something different. I will note that I was at concert (Charlotte - 1993) when he did "Another Day".
-
Admittedly, I saw Paul perform "Another Day" on that same tour in Memphis, yankeefan7 -- and when he'd introduced that song and then went into it, I had no idea what song it was -- but I noticed a nice reaction from many in the audience. I felt very not-in-the-know. Also, in St. Louis last month, there were two couples on either side of me; all six of us (including my bf and me) were on our feet for "Mrs. Vandebilt."

I can see the first two as possibilities, but I have completely given up on "Soily." Paul just won't sing this one ever again.

Which would be a shame as his voice is rather suited for that rocker at this point.
