2017 Setlist Speculation Thread

I don't think he will open the shows with anything except a Beatles song.

I'd LOVE for Your Mother Should Know to come back.

YES. That had way too short of a lifespan, and he sounded really great on it. I only heard it once in at Nationals Park, and it got a great response from the audience that night! It's also a favorite of my grandmother's (fitting, as John would deem it one of the granny tunes) but she still raves about how they used the film footage from MMT in the white suits on the stadium screens.

Anyway, the Japan gig are always welcome because the japananese making records of anything! After the gigs we'll have bootlegs about soundcheks and concerts!

-Rubber Soul13That'll be great, it never had enough time. It would work really well as a replacement for Lady Madonna. Love that song but Lady Madonna should be laid to rest for a while

how about replacing Fool on the Hill? As overplayed as it is, I think Lady Madonna is his favorite song to play or one of them, so would be surprised to see it go. I also think it's his best regular live song

Maybe Figure of Eight. It's a pretty easy song
It's easy but it's in a weird part of his range for the whole song. That said, he sang it horribly flat on the record, so why not live too?
____________________________________________________________ I have to disagree. Just been listening to the 2017 FITD Remaster and I think his vocals on Figure of Eight were great. Actually on the whole his vocals on the whole album were very good. Love his singing on Distractions, My Brave Face, and We Got Married. Not counting the 2 last tracks (which should have been replaced by Flying to My Home and Back on my Feet) the only downer track vocally for me was "Don't Be Careless Love". Thought his lead vocal was sung at too high of a key. "Careless" on the Demo Disc with Elvis Costello was sung in a lower, more manageable key. We'll never know, but I think someone like Nigel Godrich would have maybe told/ask him to try it in a lower key.

Talking about Pepper and the upcoming boxset, the only song from Sgt Pepper not played by Paul live is When I am 64... Like tribute he could play also Lucy in the sky instead of Mr Kite.

Unless you count when that chap proposed to his wife. He didn't sing but he and the band joined in. But I'm being nitpicky, I know. I'd much rather hear Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds than Mr Kite. Nothing against that particular song but it's never been one of my favourites.

I think that Lovely Rita should've stayed & Mr Kite got replaced. Lovely Rita was excellent live. I like Mr Kite but it's not a song I was dying to hear live

Oh, don't tell me Lovely Rita's gone? That's such a shame. This is an odd thread for me to be a part of as I don't like to know what's on the setlist until a year or two later so I can be surprised in the increasingly unlikely possibility of an Australian tour. So, the last setlist I have is from the 2013 Tokyo shows. I was saddened when I found out Listen to What the Man Said went and even more so by Lovely Rita.

Mr. Kite was downright insanely awesome the first time. I NEVER thought I'd hear any Beatle tackle it live! BUT...the allure rapidly wore off. In an arena or stadium concert, Lovely Rita is way more effective and Paul has the original lead vocal anyway. I don't think one is necessarily more well known than the other, but Lovely Rita is conventional enough that it makes a casual fan think "yeah, I know this!" whereas Mr. Kite leaves a casual fan thinking "uhh that was weird".
-
I absolutely agree. Rita was a lovely addition. Mr Kite is awesome live, but not my favorite comparatively.
-
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I certainly think All My Loving should return to the set

Prediction: 'Birthday' out, 'Get Back' in.

agreed. I think it'll continue to alternate with I Saw Her Standing There. I also believe Save Us will be swapped with either Junior's Farm, Jet, a new song, or a FITD song if we're really really lucky

In semi-related news, I saw Denny Laine (with Steve Holley) last week. Setlist included: Time To Hide No Words Again and Again and Again Deliver Your Children Picasso's Last Words Richard Cory Go Now Mull Of Kintyre Spirits Of Ancient Egypt Good show.

Haha, I'm really cynical at night ;). Honestly I think/I hope for one surprise at least at the Budokan, since last time at Japan he did the same.

I agree. By this point, it'll probably be something played before but not in a while like I'll Get You or For No One, unless he decides to pull out something like Martha My Dear, or a new Wings/Solo track
