TOUR REHEARSALS: QUESTIONS

I'd like to see "In My Life" come in as a replacement for the Lennon tribute...and a little homage to George Martin in the middle too!
If he's going to do a tribute to George Martin I think he should do Wanderlust as it's one of George Martins favourites

He didn't play yet these Beatles' songs: Hold Me Tight What You're Doing Tell me what you see When I'm Sixty-Four Martha My Dear Rocky Raccoon Why Don't We Do It In The Road Honey Pie Maxwell's Silver Hammer Oh! Darling
I suspect most of them will never be played..."What You're Doing" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" are the only two I could see making it in at some point.
Of these, the song I'd most like to hear would be "Why Don't We Do It In The Road". It's one of my favourite Beatles songs! I have nothing against "What You're Doing", but Paul doesn't think much of it, if what he said in "Many Years From Now" is anything to go by: "'What You're Doing' was a bit of a filler. I think it was a little more mine than John's, but I don't have a very clear recollection so to be on the safe side I'd put it as 50-50. It doesn't sound like an idea that I remember John offering, so it sounds like a way to get a song started, some of them are just that. 'Hey, what'cha doing?' You sometimes start a song and hope the best bit will arrive by the time you get to the chorus...but sometimes that's all you get, and I suspect this was one of them. Maybe it's a better recording than it is a song, some of them are. Sometimes a good recording would enhance the song."

Back seat of my car would be my favorite any song not yet performed live is a close second revival of: She came in through the bathroom window Venus and Mars Let me roll it Junior´s Farm would also be nice
-
Some ideas that could work for show; Opener: Would guess EDAW out, maybe Venus and Mars or I wanna hold your hand Jet for 2nd song instead of Save us LTWTMS appears to have been dropped- so Good Day Sunshine or One after 909 Can't buy me Love should stay in set Paperback Writer has to go- Take it away/Silly Love Songs/Letting Go could slot in easily Let me Roll it/Long and Winding rd/My Valentine will prob stay Let em in possibly replacing Maybe im amazed-hasn't been done in a while Acoustic section: plenty to choose from- I'll follow the sun/Here there & everywhere/Two of us/Things we said today/Michelle/Hope of Deliverance George/John Tributes- about time they were changed around- why not try In my Life/My guitar Gently weeps Lovely Rita/Mr Kite/All together now will prob be changed- why not bring in Penny Lane/Fixing a Hole/Ticket to Ride Live and Let Die/Let it be/Hey Jude I except will be last 3 songs in main set. Encore: Happy if Another Girl sticks around, again plenty of options- Please Please me/She loves you/Birthday. If Pauls feeling brave Uncle Albert/No more lonely nights. Helter Skelter has been there too long imo- Hi Hi Hi could move to 2nd encore Golden Slumbers to finish. Prob won't be like this at all!

Eh? Let Me Roll It??? He's been playing it at every show on every tour for more than a decade!

Longer.

Let Me Roll It needs to DIE from the setlist! Venus & Mars was done in 2010 & it was the best opening I've seen him do, so I would love it if he did it again with Rockshow being a bit longer including 'The lights go down bit' & the 'Green metal suit' bit included as well. My two favourite bits from the song

Err...more than a decade = longer

I meant that it's been on every tour since '93.

A Paul McCartney concert should feature songs written by McCartney or mostly by McCartney. Not complicated. In My Life is mainly a John song. Enough of that already. It's not like he doesn't have enough McCartney penned tunes. Never or rarely played: Back Seat Of My Car Dear Boy Too Many People Junk Tomorrow Dear Friend Little Lamb Dragonfly Helen Wheels Picasso's Last Words Every Night Letting Go Call Me Back Again Love In Song Beware My Love Silly Love Songs Let 'Em In London Town With A Little Luck Café On The Left Bank Girls School Mull Of Kintyre Goodnight Tonight Getting Closer Spin It On On The Way Take It Away No More Lonely Nights Not Such A Bad Boy My Brave Face This One Get Out Of My Way Hope Of Deliverance Flaming Pie Young Boy Fine Line Only Mama Knows Ever Present Past New His Beatle past: For No One Here There and Everywhere Michelle Martha My Dear You Won't See Me She's Leaving Home Things We Said Today Getting Better Good Day Sunshine Wait

Certainly there are rehearsals that are off the public radar, right?
-
He should definitely play something from 'Press to Play', maybe 'Only Love Remains'?
-
That voice is long gone, I'm afraid. McCartney his his vocal peak in the '80s.

Well, when I think about it, maybe 'Only Live Reamins' can be difficult for him, but I think he can handle some other songs from that album, 'However Absurd' or 'Stranglehold' for example
-
I also like 'Write Away' but it's not really a live kind of song live

Great setlist!! Actually I'd love more songs from NEW as well...
-
"However Absurd" would be cool indeed and he can get some help for the bridge but I don't think he wants to be reminded of that album too much... "Come On People" would be nice too, probably better actually in a live setting.
