TOUR REHEARSALS: QUESTIONS
-
I recall reading a similar quote from either Brian or Rusty about "No More Lonely Nights" for the 2005 tour and that it was scrapped because Paul wasn't "comfortable" with his vocals (it's too high!)
-
Very much appreciated. Interesting reading, especially in the context of the 2005! Incidentally I think Lovely Rita sounded great live! They must have refined it. "Backseat" is a constant theme through the years! I'd love to be a fly on the wall at those rehearsals. I'm wondering now what other songs they have tried out since 2002 through to now.
-
I also remember it coming up in 2009 when it was added, that Brian and Rusty had been pushing for "Day Tripper" for years!

If it was too high back in 2005, fair to say that boat has sailed.

Sounds like rehearsals aren't overly long. Quite surprised Brian mentioned 4 days until Paul joins in.

With regards to Lovely Rita, I think it was because him doing the bass line might've been too hard for him to play & sing at the same time. It's also down a half step so maybe getting him to change the key & playing the 12-String guitar is what it took for him to do it live. Never say never for a him doing No More Lonely Nights just yet. Since how it's the band that pick some songs, I'd thought Wix might've wanted to do songs from Flowers in the Dirt as he was part of those recording sessions. Who knows what they pick? I never expected Temporary Secretary live though so maybe?
-
I hope rehearsals are taking place soon! Since Paul only played in Paris a yr ago he wouldnt bring exactly the same show back there again would he?
-
Very interesting thread. Thanks to you All!

Paul soundchecked the Intro to Martha My Dear last year... I could also maybe see Why Don't We Do It in the Road... Guessing that Good Day Sunshine will see a return to the set as well. Too Many People would be too difficult At this point Maybe Backseat as well. Could see that Happening. Fool on the Hill?

I heard him rehease that one back in 2010 the night before a concert, so it wouldn't be surprising for it to finally return this year, along with some of the songs mentioned in previous posts. Silly Love Songs would be likely too.

Exactly what I was thinking about earlier today. I'd say that with the 'FITD' re-issue coming next, it wouldn't be crazy to bet a few cents on 'My Brave Face' (being the main single off the album). Figure Of 8, This One or Put It There could be the other choices too, as opposite to We Got Married and Rough Ride, which also made it to the set list at the time but have no chances these days IMHO. But I could be wrong: remember non-singles like Looking For Changes, Cosmically Conscious, Calico Skies?

Yeah, when he did those songs it was to a lot of people so a bunch of the audience will still remember them & be like 'Oh yeah I remember this song'. Sadly the reissues haven't had an affect on his setlist's. This One should be done as it recently hit 1 million views & it's one of my favourite songs he's ever done. But his stuff from the 80s onwards (excluding the new album) rarely get palyed sadly.

Wasn't Temporary Secretary added because Paul (or Paul's people) heard that a DJ had been playing it at a club?

yeah that apparently, and Nancy liked it.

I believe I heard she also likes Let Me Roll It.

What I find interesting is all the songs Brian said they ran through for the 05 tour. Mentioned many titles that would see light of day YEARS later, and yet Paul opted for 3 very early period Beatles songs: Til There Was You, Please, Please Me and I'll Get You! 1 a cover, 1 an obscure b-side, 1 a pre-Beatlemania UK hit. Each of them though pretty much same time-frame Beatles.

If LMRI gets trotted out AGAIN, my head will explode!

Silly Love Songs is a glaring omission. Surely it gets a go this year. If it does It'll probably be in a much shortened version.

Silly Love Songs is one of his most successful songs so I don't get why it's not done live. Also along with Goodnight Tonight as well. Of course there are countless songs I want him to do but I shouldn't be having most of the nods to the Wings/Solo fans played during the pre-show bit. But the pre-show is awesome though

I don't think we'll ever have a chance of "Silly Love Songs" in a touring band without Linda. "Goodnight Tonight" is surely do-able. I wouldn't count on anything from Flowers in the Dirt to re-appear at this point either. and "Let Me Roll it"?...that ain't rollin' away anywhere anytime soon
