Set List critique
-
I agree with the majority of the people posting here. I am also disappointed that there aren't more changes in the setlist, but at this point, it's just not going to happen. At 80, it's not that Paul can't do it, but I have learned that he won't do it. This is his pattern, it's not changing now. Where I seem to differ with a lot of people is on the newer albums. I own the CD's and I have listened to them. They are good, but they aren't the music that Paul will be remembered for by most people. I don't really care to hear them live in concert. I would love to hear more from the 80's and 90's though. I am a long-time, die-hard fan. I will be seeing Paul for the 30th time this tour. I fear it may be the last. I selfishly want him to end on a high note, while he's still thrilling the fans! I don't want to see him falter.

I really enjoyed your post.I'm a die hard fan who has seen him many many times and I couldn't agree with you more. whatever he plays there will be complaints, we all have our ideas and favorites.

Good thoughts. I, too, am a long time fan, having bought every album when it came out, starting with McCartney in 1970 when I was in my early teens. Course I remember the The Beatles what with older brothers in the house. First saw him live in 1989 and didn't mind him leading off with Figure of Eight and working in five more songs from Flowers. I had fully expected at least four new numbers from McCartney III. On this site, he talked about having nightmares that the audience would be upset if not presented with old favorites and walk out! Hence, we are down to the playing of Women and Wives but not for every concert. I think the isolation of the pandemic has affected his self-confidence just as it as many people. That said, it is his concert, his music and his decision and after I couldn't see him in 2019 due to a serious illness, I can't really complain. Glad he is alive and well enough to tour and wants to do so. Thanful that's I am as well and hope to be there a week from tonight for the Knoxville show.
PS..Have quit following set list reports in last week so maybe I will be surprised. Also avoiding all YouTube concert videos till after Knoxville. Enjoy!

"While hard core Paul fans like you and me get tired of McCartney's same songs and stories, I totally understand that for first timers and casual fans, they eat up the stories told from an actual Beatle himself. "
Yes, if you are hearing it for the 1rst or even 2nd time, the stories are pretty cool. Paul is not that naive to think everybody at the show has not heard these stories before especially in the youtube world we live in today. Is it that hard for Paul to put a different "spin" on a story he tells about a song?
I have come to grips with him playing most of the same Beatle songs because I get it that these are a big thrill for the majority of the audience. I just get tired of him playing 2nd tier type Beatle songs like "Benefit Of Mr. Kite" or "In Spite Of All Danger" for multiple tours instead of a Beatle song he has never played live.

Totally agree! With all the time off he's had since the 2019 tour ended, you'd think he could have re-learned "I Want To Hold Your Hand" as the opener and dropped the 2 you mentioned for any other John song and maybe blow everyone's minds by doing Rocky Raccoon!

Hey John Mackintosh...Glad you are feeling better from your 2019 Illness and that you are going to see the Knoxville show. I also think it is a good plan for you to avoid whenever possible seeing youtube clips from these current "Got Back" shows as well as the setlist discussions in preparation for your Knoxville show. That way you will be surprised when you do attend.
You also bring up a good point that the reason for the lack of McCartney 3 songs just might be a lack of self-confidence due to the isolation ot not being on tour for so long. You don't think that Paul would ever have a lack of self-confidence due to his tremendous talent but he is human and it happens to everybody. We don't know if anyone from his " Band" brings up setlist choices to their "boss" but it probably might be a touchy/sensitive subject for them to press their leader.
Yankeefan and others from this board have brought up his "nightmare" scenario before. I agree with others that Paul should never think those kinds of thoughts. I remember attending a Neil Young concert in Philadelphia years ago and the entire first half of the Show Neil Young just played new songs from his latest album. You could tell that fans were getting frustrated that Mr. Young wasn't playhing his hits/signature songs but they were patient and went nuts when the big/known songs finally came out. Paul should never think that fans would walk out. They have far too much respect for a Beatle who has given them such a catalog of music for many years. Besides most of us here don't think that Paul's shows shouldn't be Beatle heavy. We just want more variety of the Post Beatle songs he does play.
Anyway, good points John and I'll be thinking of you when reviews come out for the Knoxville show.

George_e_girl - great post. While I'm sometimes frustrated with his song "choices" (especially on the real good songs on McCartney 3 and Egypt Station) I also want him to have a great tour nevertheless. I am thrilled that so far he is selling out the venues and getting good reviews.

Just read a review from the Winston Salem Show that made me feel good. The writer of the article is from Charlotte and he had a 80 mile drive to get to the show.
Despite the traffic problems and heavy rainstorm before the concert, he loved the show. I didn't realize that "population wise" Winston Salem was such a small area compared to Charlotte. From what the writer said, the capacity for this smaller stadium venue was about 30,000. Paul and Band actually ended up with a crowd of about 33,000 people. They opened up "lawn seats" for only a $40.00 cost that the writer said ended up being some of the best seats in the venue.
Now if that show was within a 100 miles fom me and they had such reasonable priced lawn seats, I would attend in a heartbeat despite having heard most of the songs (from past tours) and hearing many of the same stories in the past. I would just be thrilled being in the same stadium with other fellow Beatle/Paul fans.
Thinking about it further, what "living" music artist can still sell out stadium shows (e.g. Winston Salem, Sofi stadium in Los Angeles etc.) at those kinds of prices. Just a small list that you could count on one hand. That is why I think that Paul McCartney is the greatest.

BJ, I live in Charlotte and still would not go. I don't know when they opened up those lawn seats because when I looked at tickets a couple of days before the concert, the only seats available were around $140 a ticket and they were at other end of the stage. Winston Salem is also about 90 miles from Raleigh NC which is the state capital so they can draw people from that area also. Charlotte is the home of the NFL Carolina Panthers with football stadium than can fit 70,000 people. Billy Joel has recently played there and Elton John is scheduled to play there later this year. If Paul is so popular why not play there instead of a place that is half the size and in smaller city? My simple answer is that he likes to play places he has never done before so he can do close to the same set list and tell the same between song stories. In addition, he would not have sold out show in Charlotte stadium that has larger seating capacity.

First, I think Paul is full of it with the "self confidence" story. Please forgive me but he has never not played a Beatle heavy show in 20 years and everybody is fully aware of it. Nobody would walk out because he plays a couple of new songs. In my life, I have known a couple of professional musicians and athletes and none of them come close to the greatness of Paul. That being said, not one of them has any lack of self confidence in their ability. IMO, this is just his excuse for trotting out the same basic set list for years. The band has brought up songs to him before and that is why he played "Too Many People" years ago, not sure if it was Brian or Rusty who suggested the song.

Thanks, BJ, appreciate your good wishes. Wish you and I and some other hard-core fans on here could have about 15 minutes with Paul and make the argument for Egypt Station/McCartney III. I was convinced we would hear Find My Way, Lavatory Lille, Slidin', and Seize the Day. Never thought it would be only Women and Wives and then not on a regular basis. Of course, I was shocked in 2015 when he trotted out Temporary Secretary. I remember him repeatedly saying he and Lennon never had a formula for writing songs. For awhile he had a formula for doing between four to six new songs on the tours I saw in 1989/1990, 1993, 2002, 2005, 2009 ( different in that two fromMemory Almost Full, two from Electric Arguments as both those albums were very recent) about the same in 2010,2011. Then songs from New in those mid-teen years afterwards. Well, this year he has torn up the formula so looking forward to Knoxville. Hard to believe he is just weeks away from 80. Surely, the youngest 80 ever.

Exactly Nancy. "Rocky Raccoon" is acoustic song that he would not need the band to practice it and it is easy song to sing. The crowd reaction would blow the roof off the arena -lol. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is midtempo song that is a little over 2 minutes so not that tough to learn again. The entire band could sing the song with Paul to help with vocals because John and Paul sang the entire song together. See link below from Ed Sullivan show. Imagine the reaction in the arena if he opened with it and the media attention it would have grabbed - oh well.

Why don't the Admins of this forum/website ever read what we constantly write and get the message back to Paul?!

I still like the idea of Paul doing a "special concert" full of you-never-know-what-you are going get - doing many of his solo songs, Wings songs and Beatle songs that are not performed or rarely done or was part of the sound check now being done. For the fans ( who have to promise not to go to the concession stands *joking) - hopefully captured as a movie DVD/ BluRay type of thing. Big audience, Small l audience - no audience... it would be cool to see. (Like this will ever happen) ... like many critiques - just putting it out there for the fun of it.

Probably because they know that Paul is more interested in the hundreds of thousands of satisfied,happy fans who attend his shows / tours and is less interested in the....what? 6 or 7 fans who keep moaning about the setlists on these boards !!

I kind of laugh at people who think those who want to hear a few more solo songs in his set list are moaning/bitching. First, we are actually complimenting Paul and saying he is more of an artist than being a Beatle which ended over 50 years ago. How dare we (lol) want to hear music from the CD's we bought of his solo career music. The outrage of us (ha ha) wanting him to do a couple of great Beatle songs he never did before (Rocky Raccoon, I Want To Hold Your Hand) instead of songs like "In Spite Of All Danger" and "Benefit For Mr. Kite" on a couple of tours. Finally, the 6 or 7 of us (lol) know he is not going to change. We are just expressing frustration that he ignores so much great music he has made in live performances.
