Set List critique

Dunno. Some b.s. about maintaining dignity, or something.
Dignity. Hmmmmmph!

"I Can Bet" is the shizzle!
One of my faves from "New".
-
Except for what he still has in there, I suspect he is done with NEW and will cast it into the trash heap of solo LPs like he has all the others.

Not a doubt in my mind!

Can anyone explain me why does Paul play 'Mull Of Kintyre' just in the UK and Canada?

Apparently he plays it just for Scottish people in those lands. I guess if you aren't Scottish, you aren't supposed to like the song. I'm Mexican American and love the song.
-
I want "Pipes of Peace" hmm.. "Tell Me What You See" would be great. Brian May is playing it on his One Voice Tour. it was amazing to hear it I am Polish and I like "Mull of Kintyre" and don't like "In Spite of..". Maybe he will change setlist for me in Prague, haha!

"Mull Of Kintyre" and "Midnight Special" are the two most predictable songs of his concert repertoire ... that are rarely played -- except when McCartney's tours stop at a Scottish-culture territory or in Houston, TX, respectively.

If it were just the case of a lot of Scottish-descended folks, he would play it in the US as well (especially the northeast, where there are tons of Scottish). I did read years ago the reason he never plays it in the US is that it flopped here whereas it was a smash everywhere else in the English-speaking world. (Canada, UK, and Oz if he ever plays there again! )

It didn't flop here. It was never marketed here. Girls School was. And I heard THAT on the radio. That's what I call the McCartney Dilemma. He puts out a rocker like Girls School, but the flip side, Mull of Kintyre, a Scottish acoustic folk song, is a hit, and THAT is what McCartney gets known for, not the rock tune.

Just some thoughts after being in attendance the last two nights in Vancouver.. Save Us needs to drop out of the second spot, most of the crowd doesn't know the song. Temporary Secretary - Same thing as Save Us, most people have no reaction to it. Here today - A bit rough with the voice last night more than the first, I get its his time to salute John but another song that doesn't have those high notes might be better.

After the news of Prince, complaining about Paul's setlist just seems useless. Grateful we still have him.

Yeah, very sad. I saw Prince twice in concert in New Mexico. He was amazing. Paul, play whatever you want in concert.
-
RIP PRINCE was lucky to see him at MSG about five years ago. Yes-Paul play what you want!
-
Horrible news. But Macca still needs to shake up that setlist.
