              I realise my choices are maybe not the "best of"' where the masses are concerned, but from a purely selfish point of view, that's what I'd want to hear

                              I would actually love to see Paul do a new Unplugged Concert sometime in 2018 after he gives good rest to his vocal cords throughout 2017. There are so many of his own songs that he has never or rarely performed that he could do. This would be quite a bit different than his original Unplugged where he did quite a few covers. But for the purposes of this thread, here is my "dream" 12 song set mixing his different instruments. Because this is something that I know would never happen, I have stayed almost exclusively with Post Beatles songs. Base or Electric Guitar The Mess I Can Bet Young Boy Promise to You Girl Acoustic Set Little Willow I'll Be on My Way (This was a very early Beatles song written by Macca; great song) On the Wings of a Nightingale (Criminal that Macca didn't do this one on 1st Unplugged) Early Days Piano Single Pigeon (what a great song from Red Rose Speedway) Only Love Remains (another great one from Press to Play) English Tea (love to see him revive this one) House of Wax (great closer) I know that I included a Beatles song...I'll Be on My Way but this is one that he has never done. I've seen covers of this song from other artists and they are terrific. The same is with "On the Wings of a Nightingale" never even released by Macca. If Paul doesn't want to play "Early Days" for some reason, he could throw in Hope of Deliverance or even as a very hidden gem...Mama's Little Girl. We can all dream!!

                                BJ, I'm afraid "resting his voice" is not going to make any difference. It is beyond the point of no return and will never get any better.

I do remember after he took significant time off from the road for most of the 90's after Linda's illness and subsequent death. If you remember he then released Run Devil Run in late 1999. Not only did his vocals sound fantastic on the album but his live performances promoting Run Devil Run sounded pretty good also. You, of course, remember his live show at the Tavern Club. But, I do realize that it is now many years later and he has been constantly on the road over the last few years. That being said, you are probably right that at this late age, he might not be able to even bring his "middle age" voice back. Another reason that I would like to see him eventually do another "Unplugged" show where he can pick out songs that his current voice can handle much better. One can only hope.

                                        Let's get real...a "best of" concert to appease a "best of" crowd is none of these ...it's this... Band on The Run Jet Day Tripper Can't Buy Me Love --- Blackbird Yesterday Here, There, and Everywhere Eleanor Rigby --- The Long and Winding Road Let it Be Live and Let Die Hey Jude and ya know what...that sucks.

                                          Cool selections !! I totally forgot about song "Single Pigeon". I have always loved "On The Wings OF A Nightingale" and always wished Mr. McCartney had made an official recording of this song. BTW - Have you noticed "Audi" has disappeared from this site. I hope everything is ok.

                                          Maybe I'm amazed !!
