Back from Montreal:
The DJ set and preshow film were fresh. "Happy With You" was featured in the preshow with Egypt Station graphics.
The horn section (the guys were great) and the three ES songs along with "From Me To You" freshened things up a bit.
"My Valentine" was done on piano (saw someone asked on a previous post) amd yes I'm glad Queenie Eye was still in the set as well (someone mentioned this too)
BTW-the new songs rocked in the arena setting; pity more weren't played. I believe NEW had four live songs to start out when it was released
I thought the merchandise was weak as I didnt see anything related to ES.
Rememeber these shows are fresh for our Canadian friends. The States will get the minty fresh rejigged Freshned Up tour next summer.

Since Caesar Rock being released as the new single, do you guys think we'll hear that live any time soon? Or any time at all? lol
I saw little Egypt Station merch in Quebec City as well. There was an all black t shirt with the pyramid/train station logo in white, coffee mug with a few Egypt Station prints on it, and a pin set with ONE Egypt Station pin in it with the same design on the coffee mug.
I posted some pictures from the merch stand which are on my instagram.
(They are in the set with the concert chairs album showing the booster seat I randomly saw lol)

I haven't seen any posts yet regarding that obtrusive small rising stage. Is it still there?

After seeing the set list for the first two shows, I'm thinking of contacting trading standards about this tour name
You might want to look up the definition of 'Freshen Up' in the dictionary before contacting Trading Standards!

Despite my disappointment with the current tour's lack of changes, I've still gotta ask...
Any word on when the next batch of dates might be announced?
I've heard rumors of Green Bay, LA, San Diego and Chicago.... anywhere else? And when?
Mr. Gannon, what have you got for us?

I saw those hints that you speak as a way to move more codes. However, those cities may NOT be getting shows IMHO. They have targeted some larger markets just to make fans "panic" and purchase more codes. All those clues stated was more dates were being announced, it never specifically said those areas are getting shows. I could be wrong, but he is already doing a show in MAdison and Moline. Not sure if Chicago and Greenbay make sense at this point.

First you have to register on pm.com:
https://www.paulmccartney.com/newsletter-signup
Then you’ll get all the emails about tour dates and whether you need a code or if it is a Verified Fan sale. It’s insanely complicated to explain and both methods have screwed up. The pre-sale prices are the same as general sale to the public. You just get first dibs. If you have an AMEX card you will always be able to get pre-sale tickets.
Read this to see how Verified Fan is done:

Unfortunately nothing at this time. The pace and space between the announcements has made things very tough. Can only bother folks so many times

Chicago seems very unlikely with Paul playing two shows here last summer and him playing Moline, Madison and Fort Wayne. I won't complain if he does end up playing Chicago though. Why not Allstate Arena (smaller 15,000 seat arnea), Sears Centre Arena (10,000 seats) or White Sox ball park!

Maybe they can give a pack of gum with every ticket purchase.

Then why have those targeted ads for those cities in particular? Would seem kinda weird to place ads mentioning those cities, and then end up not doing shows there.

Large populations. The ad went something like "Chicago-more Paul Mccartney dates being revealed soon, purchase presale codes etc". It never specifically stated that Chicago,Boston,La,etc were getting shows, just "keep your eyes open" for new dates in general The Chicagio area has gotten quite a few shows over the last few years including Lolla. Not sure if another gig their specifically makes sense. Who knows, we'll have to wait and see.

It feels like its been forever already with no new tour dates posted yet. Guess maybe they won't be posted until later at the end of the year?

The only reason to get those US dates out so early, was for the CD bundle with the ticket, then grab that #1 in the charts and stuff.
No need for them to hurry right now.

You have a point there. Ah well at least it gives me time to put money away for a good seat and attend his sound check front row seats would be nice but very pricy!
