Any setlist anomalies?

Just got back from Barclays- what an amazing performer Paul is. This is the eight time I have seen him and he's getting better all the time. I must say I was sitting on the floor in section 5 row one and the security from Barclays was the most annoying thing you could imagine. They kept going back and forth as if there was something that was wrong (there wasn't). A little too self important if you ask me. People on the floor shouldn't have to keep asking the security guards to move!! Alas, I am seeing Paul again on Monday, but in the nosebleed section this time. Can't wait for Monday!!!! Come back again next year Paul. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just back from the show. It started much later than I thought it would. He took the stage around 8:50. Is that normal for this tour, or was he just late tonight? Highlight for me was Maybe I'm Amazed. His voice sounded so strong! I though All Together Now was great too, but I was partial to all the songs I never heard him sing before. I avoided all videos of the songs he premiered on this tour and was glad I did. Loved Your Mother Should Know and Rita, and Hi Hi Hi was a real thrill. Barclays is a great venue too. He seemed particularly chatty tonight ... same stories, but a bit more embellishment. I have two seats for Mondays show -- Section 8 Row 4. Great Seats and I can't go. If anyone is interested in them for face value let me know.

Anyone there for limo watch? Any indication where his arrival is outside the arena? We just got to the city today, and are going to Monday's show. Would love to see him arrive, but don't know where he'll be coming in! We drove across the Brooklyn Bridge tonight around 7:00 and were going to drive by the arena to scope things out, but that would have been too much of a tease seeing the crowd there. Although i am going Monday, i would have felt awful going by a Macca concert and not actually going! LOL Sounds like tonight was a great show by the way!
I managed to do "the watch" and it was great! Closest I've ever been to Paul. The SUV practically stopped in front of us and he did his wave and thumbs-up for us. He looked great in his shades! It was easy to find the spot: just walk around to the back of the arena. Police and barricades there. I think he arrived about 5:20 P.M. Good luck!

just got 2 $99 tickets from ticketmaster in section 212...
Hey! That's where I was sitting! (I really didn't like it, though. Much too steep for me; took awhile to calm myself down from what felt like an anxiety or vertigo attack starting! Small seats, not much room to walk or stand up. Wouldn't want to be in that section ever again, thanks. I got better when Paul showed up, though!)

Wow-- Just got back from Barclays. Our train wasn't until 1:06... Anyways, BRILLIANT gig. Bathroom lines out the door during My Valentine. Louder than the past, and the gig seemed to go by much faster. Enjoyed every second of it, can't believe it happened. Cue: post concert depression

The setlist I posted earlier appears to be incorrect, pulled it from an article but found I've Just Seen A Face on youtube when it says Things We Said Today in the article. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/paul-mccartney-rocks-barclays-center-article-1.1367299

Yes, it was "I've Just Seen a Face" tonight.

Yes, he was later tonight. Usually starts between 8:30 - 8:40. Probably had a lot of backstage visitors tonight from his NY friends and family!

This one matches the previous link except for Things We Said Today/I've Just Seen a Face http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/paul-mccartney/2013/barclays-center-brooklyn-ny-13d9e9d1.html What was new that he did not sing before??? (according to the Daily News article).

Who just walked in causing a stir down below???
It was Clinton. Which also is the reason there was heavy security on the floor. He was 10 rows back in the center.

Great review of the show in Newsday: http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/backstage-pass-1.811987/paul-mccartney-amazes-at-barclays-center-1.5440342 And apparently Paul told this story about the late Phil Ramone (who produced Another Day):
McCartney even dedicated ?Another Day? to producer Phil Ramone, who died in March. He added a nice story about how Ramone?s visit to the McCartney home in the English countryside had drawn the attention of the police, mainly because of Ramone?s big Stetson hat. At one point, McCartney caught himself, saying, ?I?m just going on now. I know. I don?t care.?
Too funny. Such a cute ole guy.

What a show last night at Barclay's!! First the soundcheck...Paul was wearing a jacket and tie. Songs played (15) were posted earlier. Great to hear Twenty Flight Rock after so many years...I believe '89 was the last time! He also did Bluebird which was also great to hear. As far as the show, Paul wore the "new" long dark coat which looked similar in style to the ones worn by Wings on their '79 UK Tour. I thought everyone of the "new" songs for the Out There Tour were amazing! I especially liked the opener Eight Days A Week, Lovely Rita, ...Mr. Kite, Your Mother Should Know, and Hi Hi Hi. Loved hearing We Can Work It Out with the full band treatment as well. But, the real highlight of the evening, in addition to seeing so many fans again, was Paul mentioning my son's English Bulldog, "MACCA"....see link:
A FANTASTIC SHOW...can't wait to see it again Monday!!
