2017 Setlist Speculation Thread

WixRocks!:
With the exception of "Follow Me" (or 'any destination') at Glastonbury, has Paul ever played a song from a new album (not a single, movie song etc.) prior to release?
The only thing I can think of was "Freedom" which nobody heard it before the 9/11 concert and it was not on DR in the beginning.
I've personally heard two songs: "Coming Up" was played on the 1979 Wings tour, of course, with the single coming from the 2nd night at Glasgow. That was prior to the song's official release on McCartney II. Paul would introduce it as "a new song that hasn't been released yet." And I don't believe "Cut Me Some Slack" had been released yet when Paul and the members of Nirvana performed it at the 12-12-12 concert. I think that was a world premiere.

Forgot about "Coming Up" and I have bootleg of that concert. As for "Cut Me Some Slack", I don't really count that as a Mr. McCartney song. It was basically a jam session that got some big publicity so it then was released on ITUNES a couple of days later.

I wonder if we'll ever get Please, Please Me again... Would be a great opener if he could sing it. If they played the US Tour version, and Abe filled in on the really high stuff, I think it could be pulled off. I'll Get You again would be really cool, or even Till There Was You.

I'd gladly take any of them!!!

The song was played on the whole tour, not just at Glasgow.

True, but it was Paul performing a world premiere song that nobody had ever heard before. So I count it.

Wow this thread grew quite a lot!! I honestly hope when the Japan shows come around we see some variation. I for some reason have been getting a feeling that A Day in the Life may actually return after being outed a Desert Trip. Maybe it's just me. I would hope Paul drops 2 of the 3 of the New songs. I think Queenie Eye is probably the one that should stay, the other two are just very bland in the live setting (at least to me). Maybe that'll open up some spots for experimentation. I hope the fact that he is playing in Japan will somehow given him some inspiration. I would love to get a song from Flowers but I highly doubt that'll happen. I don't really even think his voice could handle any of those songs. I fear there would be a lot of "growling" :

Actually, I believe he can sing Figure of Eight pretty easily
-
He could sing an of the FITD stuff if he wanted to, but it would probably come out just as hit or miss as the rest of the set. What matters is that he doesn't want to...
-
He could pull off Put it There or Figure of Eight, maybe My Brave Face or This One

For some reason what I'm hearing in my head doesn't sound too good. Even if he can't handle them it would still be neat to get one in the set, possibly in the "Temporary Secretary" is in.

What do you all think about Sgt. Pepper (or something else from the album) being in the set for the 50th anniversary? Quite honestly, I'd love to see Pepper played again like I'll it was in 1989/90.
-
I doubt he'll even make mention of it. However, I think it would be a truly kickass opener and then segue into something instead of "little help..."

Do we really doubt what the set list will be? **LOTS of Beatles **A decent handful of Wings, mostly staples like My Love and Band on the Run **If he has a new album, a handful of tunes from it **If we're lucky, maybe one or two solo or Wings rarities Zzzzzzzz...

Unfortunately, I think you're probably right Bruce.

His One on One setlist was a complete let down. Also it's not only the setlist, it's the stage patter as well. Like we all know when he met the Russian Officials, George playing the ukulele, Here Today is the conversation he never had, Hendrix learned Sgt Peppers within two days of release with Clapton in the audience, etc. They're good stories but a man like Paul will surely have a lot of other interesting stories to tell instead of recycling the same stories again

You are preaching to the choir brother!

That's even more than what's to be expected unfortunately. This is not the time for the talk about a setlist shake-up. It's just another leg, do do do do do do. It's about whether 'Jet' will come back for a Tokyo Dome gig and if he might place 'Birthday' as first or second song of the encore, and that's about it. Maybe 2 or 3 new songs later in the year.

yes absolutly. Doubtless this guess becomes true (unfortunately . I suppose only a mirrow universe could offer a real new concert experience...

Sadly this is all true.

I think this is different since he shook stuff up around Desert Trip, adding- Junior's Farm I've Just Seen A Face Got to Get You Into My Life A Day In The Life/Give Peace A Chance I Wanna Be Your Man Day Tripper Also, You Won't See Me, Temporary Secretary, Save Us, etc were dropped for the Desert Trip shows. Quite a bit to speculate about. Sure, most of these are standard songs, but still... I'd like to see Drive My Car and Things We Said Today come back, but I know he usually saves them for soundcheck
