He hasn't even been doing any of these at home concerts that many others have been doing. Neil Young did a few called Fireside Sessions. A few other artists have too. I wish Paul would do something similar.
To be fair, Paul did do Lady Madonna the other month which was quite enough for most fans !!
One song is not a concert.
Lady Madonna was so enjoyable, I was sad it was only one song. They're coming out with a new quick saliva test. Hopefully, that will slow down the runaway train in this country. Also perhaps allow for a sequestered period where the band could safely put some music together. Maybe in a country with better control on Covid19 too! Really miss hearing the band play together.

I'd settle for just Paul. He really has taken this year off.

Could someone list the last 10 or 20 concerts he's done? I can't see a list and I'm curious. I know his last UK show was London Dec 18, how many since then? Thank you!
This is under Tour Archives under Tour (up top) Of course the 2020 shows were cancelled but are still listed.
His last U.K. show was Dec. 16, 2018. He did 21 shows after that.

Thanks Nancy, I always forget that the main site does get updated.
Yes 16 Dec 18 was quite the day, if it turns out to be his last UK show I couldn't think of a better ending, I had a blast, Paul did too, ringo played, and the place was buzzing. Oh and it was my 45th birthday too ( not that I ever mention it here!!! Ahem!).
21 more gigs since then hey.. Oh I love love love Paul gigs.... It seems weird to talk as if the big full shows are over. They surely are though. And I'm not sure Paul has the appetite for scaled down things. Hopefully he will though.
thanks for the link/list

You're welcome! And you're way younger than I am - I'm old enough to be your mum!
How is your son doing? -

Well yes, acoustic would be uplifting... and then there's COVID. Still, he has always said playing is what he likes to do and then listening to the demos of Flaming Pie, I'm remembering how much fun the last concert was. I really loved going to hear the guys play. It was Peace on Earth for 3+ hours with lots of Loving Peaceful energy being generated, beaming out into the Universe. An incredible feeling and I'm missing the vibe.

Yes, his concerts are magical but big productions. I could handle some smaller appearances by him even if it would be on zoom or whatever.

In England they are having some outdoor concerts using social distancing. There are countries with much better statistics than here, which I imagine will have outdoor concerts. The 700 million people of Europe have done much much better and smarter than we have. Am seriously contemplating moving to Europe to live in a safer environment. Hoping for concerts and for museums to be open. Am making a better safety shield for the plane ride. I just got the clear vinyl yesterday for shields for myself and a couple of friends. Hope Paul gets back to playing in some form soon and doesn't let these ageists brow beat him into not playing!! Prejudice and discrimination based on age is one of the largest prejudices in the world today!! Paul is the greatest performer alive and IMHO he is deserving and worthy of the biggest and the most fireworks fitting his greatness!! And all the people who show up agree!!!

I think there's been posts about this before, but wish we could see Paul do weekly livestreams on FB or YouTube. That way he could continue to do his music and interact with fans, etc.
Deana Martin (daughter of Dean Martin) has a great "weekly show" on Friday afternoons on FB, and Paul could do a similar format every week tailored just for him and his music. Deana does a 45 minute livestream, and responds to fans' questions and comments, etc. She only uses an IPhone, and has a few staff there with her. She started out with 200,000 viewers every week, and yesterday's show had 10 million! I'm sure Paul could surpass that number. Anyway, wish there was a way we could put in a request for him to do something like this. Would be great, too, if Paul could have guests like Ringo or David Grohl on any weekly livestreams.
This is one of Deana's livestreams, from two weeks ago:

Do we feel we may have seen the last of Paul on the stage now given the covid situation?

In a word, no.

I know that this post might not be popular but I don't care. Hopefully the days of the mega world tours are over. Paul has played more than enough shows in both North and South America.... his most favorite continents where he can gross the most money and where (some of) his craziest and wealthiest fans can be found. He should return back to small clubs and theaters and play all over the UK, his home place, which he neglected so often and he could also play sometimes elsewhere in Europe.

I agree too. Unlikely I know, but I'd like him to revisit some of the places he played in the UK in 75 and 79 that he hasn't been to since. Edinburgh, Dundee, Southampton, Newcastle etc.

The future of live concerts is uncertain at the moment. Have you thought about the possibility that you might not be able to play live again?
Yes, definitely. I look back at the last gig I did, which was at Dodger Stadium in LA, and we didn't have a very good night. I must say, I was thinking "Uh-oh, what if that was the last gig?"
But it would be great, wouldn't it, to be in a crowd and be able to go crazy and listen to a live band again. I was imagining that the other day - instead of doing the songs, you'd just be standing there going "This is great, isn't it?"

Oh, it's really surprising to me Paul saying he didn't like the Dodger Stadium show, even with Ringo's special appearance.
It seems like he doesn't have a decision made about playing live again, but I think if he really wanted to back on the road again he would have given another kind of answer.
Maybe he's just being realistic and considering his age. But I'm praying there will be one last tour.

I listened to that BBC interview and Paul said he DID like the Dodger Stadium show. ("we did have a very good night.") Who else hears this?

I think you are right.
