McCartney (hypothetical) "last concert" song picks
-
One of the favorite topics on here seems to be which songs you want to hear McCartney play. I thought it might be fun to crowd source a playlist, so here's my question: Suppose you could choose 5 songs that would be played at the *LAST* time you got to see Paul live. For the purposes of the hypothetical, assume his voice is where it's at now, and that you're hearing the songs live at a stadium or arena concert. *The reason for the "last" qualifier is I'm curious about your absolute top 5. For example, I love ***** (one of his most famous songs - hopefully that's not taboo on here!). If I were just voting for 5 songs for a concert, I probably wouldn't include ***** because he'd likely play it anyway and/or enough other people would vote for it. For the purpose of this exercise, you SHOULD vote for your *****(s). Another way to think about it is imagine this is not only the last time you get to see him live, but also that the show will only be 5 songs. I created a form on Google to collect the responses. I have no idea if enough people will fill it out (my guess is "no"), but if they do, I'll post some aggregate setlists. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RYj79gQ9z2ddfkhDjljhCRu9psYoa2yM863TRcfjTVI/viewform Feel free to post your top 5 below too, but try not to let other peoples' votes influence yours - the goal is to vote for your absolute favorites!

Is this a poll? Are you keeping track? Just listing songs seems a waste of time to me!
-
^Agreed. And I highly doubt his last concert will be planned as such. It'll most likely be the final concert of a tour or some planned appearance, and then he'll decide to stop touring some time after and it will just end up being the final gig he ever played.

After 9 concerts over 24 years, I've heard him play 108 different songs. The trick is finding the best that I've never heard. Uncle Albert Mull of Kintyre She's a Woman Come and Get It and in 2016 When I'm (Seventy)Four

Well, my apologies for not following the rules. I tossed all those song picks up on there without going back and studying the thread. With five as the number I should have gone by, I am taking one from each decade of his career, excluding the current one... 1960s--Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End 1970s--Maybe I'm Amazed 1980s--No More Lonely Nights 1990s--Beautiful Nights 2000s--Sing the Changes
