Would You Rather...

...Have a shorter setlist (25-28 songs) and a longer tour, or longer setlist (now) and shorter tour? Personally, I'll go with shorter tour, longer set because we're really only going to one show. Let me know what you think!
-
I agree with you. That's assuming: I get to go to one of the fewer shows.
Less shows, means less people get to see him, and lowers all our chances. But, the setlist would be "minty fresh"...taking one for the team I suppose. -
I prefer a shorter show. More impact. Unless there are AMAZING gems being put in the set, I could do without filler.
-
i'd choose longer tour and shorter show but only if he cut the few weak moments in the show like blackbird or here today
-
And Obla Di. LOSE IT!
-
It would still be an entertaining show with a few songs cut out of it, give it a go Paul!
-
I agree that we could do without Obla-di Obla-da, but I have to say that Here Today is one of my favorite songs... Absolutely beautiful. Anyway, less shows may not necessarily mean less people. Wouldn't that mean that more people scramble for tickets at each gig because there are fewer dates to chose from? I think it may only equate to less people in a technical, "overall" sense. Sounds a bit crowded... Either way, I would love to hear Lonely Road, Silly Love Songs, We Got Married, and Beware My Love live!
That might make it worth it. Otherwise, I prefer it the way it is now (with the minor tweaks he always makes, but generally keeping the same length and base of classics). -
I like the long shows to be honest Paul has set a standard that few artists match these days time wise,no bad thing given the expense of seeing Paul nowadays
-
I think a long Tour is better, may be if he go change the set list, including new songs (means new album) and take off songs overexposed, like Lady Madonna, Paper Back Writer or Jet and Let me roll it, which I love, but there so many others. Please Paul: read our threads!
-
I hope Paul doesn't read this site, because Blackbird is NOT filler. That song represents a LOT to some of us. People in the USA died fighting for civil rights. If you think that is a weakness ask yourself what you stand for. Also "Here Today" is hardly weak. You think Paul singing to John, his best friend murdered, is a weakness? Honestly that's really disappointing.
-
Blackbird and Here Today are always highlights of the shows. Several times people have asked me about Here Today after he sings it, not knowing the song and really loving it. When Paul sang "and I am holding back the tears no more" in St. Louis he was visibly crying. Absolutely world-class performance in every way.

Same here - if you consider the price range would probably not change much (if at all), I'd be limited to one or possibly two shows regardless...to me, the 'shorter set/longer tour' would only benefit those with deep pockets or very few life responsibilities to fulfill
