Paul McCartney 2013 Rumours
-
My very wishful thinking is he releases the album first and then tours a bit this summer. Do we really want to see On The Run continued? Oh please, no. New album means new (ish) show. They were supposed to be "working on a fresh show", though I think that was just an excuse to cancel the Denmark gigs. Please everyone join me in crossing our fingers for a fresher show/tour name and hopefully he if promotes the album he'll go to a few different places. Maybe SA, Bonneroo and some US dates and then maybe Europe and a homecoming gig. You'd think he'd want to promote it within 6 months or so of its release otherwise it'd be like "Yeah, Paul, we -know- you have an album out now."

yes agree, it will be very lazy if the show it not reworked in some sort of way this year especially for all that have followed Paul since day 1, I read that May is a possible release time for the new album.

Yeah. What's the point releasing it later and doing shows with virtually identical setlists... agaaaaaaiiinnnn. It would also delay Paul finishing work on it, so hopefully the logic is that his team know when the album will release and have/are planning tour dates after then. Right? I don't know. Will the album be completely finished and a 'new tour' rehearsed in time for April/May??
Also, Paul isn't getting any younger. Lets face the truth here and realise there are limited years of touring left and I don't blame people for getting frustrated that Paul hasn't toured near them for many, many years. I honestly wouldn't mind waiting a few months longer for Paul to tour, say, Asia or Australia. Then he can, by all means, go to his usual parts of the world. But really I feel some new locations should be given priority first. It would also be very upsetting for Danish fans if they are not given a reschedulled show this summer.

That is the undisputed truth, my friend.

Don't mind waiting until Nov/Dec if need be ,so he can tour the new album and get a kind of fresh show! and as you said visit the places he's not played in a while. Will be interesting to see what the Bonnaroo gig will be like, but if its the same old etc, then nothing will change in a month a sundays!

He's working on a brand new show and the 'On The Run'-flag is dead and buried. There is no way he's going to play the same market in South America again with basically the same show, for the fourth year in a row.

The optimistic crew to the rescue!

Paul McCartney is the man who dared to out-do The Beatles when he formed Wings. That's the guy that I admire, and that's the guy I'm expecting to see, going forward in 2013.
-
Then again, I doubt the new album will be out by late April/early May when Paul is rumoured to play South America, so what will he replace the "old" songs with when he can't perform new material? I'd love to be proven wrong but I don't expect any significant set list changes until late summer/autumn when he releases the new album.

Under that scenario, he still has tons of neglected albums and hit singles begging to be performed live.

This. It isn't like he can't build a new show without a new album to promote. When the album drops later this year he undoubtedly will drop the fresh additions 'Silly Love Songs' and 'Love In Song' squeezed in the first 45 minutes of the show with 2 songs from his new album

You missed that boat, young man.

audi, unfortunately, I think they're right.

Perhaps I'm in Pollyanna-mode again, but I'm sensing that we're going to get our new show. Paul's recent 12.12.12 set and SNL appearance are subtle indications. If I'm wrong, I shall post a YouTube video of me in drag lip-syncing to Tina Turner's "On Silent Wings."

In the 1970s, Paul was distancing himself from the Beatles and had something to prove, which culminated in the Wings Over America/World Tour, which drove the point home. Paul has embraced his Beatle past for the last twenty five years, it would be strange and illogical for him to all of a sudden reject that. I don't see it happening. In 2013, it would be great if he puts out a new CD and plays three to five songs off of it live. Probably mixed in with his regular set list, replacing some songs, of course. I know it's not popular to say here but another thing to get ready for is Paul cannot do three hour shows forever. Expect, at some point, for five to ten songs to be cut from the set list.

Looking forward to watching this...we all know the set will be at least 80% unchanged!

For the record: It is very possible for Paul McCartney re-construct his entire show and include plenty of Beatle-era McCartney songs that have never/rarely been performed. I'm not asking Paul to reject his pride in his Beatles compositions -- but I think it would freshen the palette if he omitted those same songs that have dominated his concerts for a very, very long time.
