LOL. Remember when we all discussed Elvis Costello's show? He uses a spinning wheel with song choices. Someone said that Paul's would have maybe 4 Beatles tunes on it. haha...sad but true.

Don’t you mean it would only have 4 NON-Beatles songs on it?
Yep, the other 4 would be Wings songs that he does regularly - lol
“And here’s one for the Wings fans!”

I'm making no excuses for McCartney, he should change his setlist!
The man has the quality material, he has the band they can rehearse any song, so there's no excuse! If he can play a song like Temporary Secretary, he most certainly can play songs that are way better!
No one expects him not to play some hits, but how about the rest of the show, he could easily swap out some songs, and he could even play Wings/solo songs that he has before, especially the ones that he hasn't done since the 70s like...
Getting Closer, The Mess, Smile Away, Big Barn Bed, Best Friend , I've Had Enough and how many does he have to choose from the rest of his career? Something that blows my mind is how he doesn't perform a fantastic song like I Can Bet?! That song would be absolutely awesome and is just screaming to be performed live! Did he ever play House Of Wax, That Was Me for American audiences? In fact did he ever perform any of those songs I listed above for American Audiences?
It's just my opinion, but McCartney's lack of performing more of his Wings/solo material since the 70s, is the one strike against his live performance legacy! Changing one or two songs just doesn't cut it, his setlist became predictable years ago! It's really sad because it doesn't have to be!

Ditto that. Doing a bunch of Left Hand Man's and Yankeefan's lists would have been so great
I remember the 2002 Show in Philadelphia being so special. I had gone to the 1990 and 1993 Shows and they were great too but the 2002 tour was the first time for me seeing Macca indoors. Seeing Paul come out alone and acoustically doing songs like Blackbird, Here Today, We Can Work it out, Mother Nature's Son (and maybe another one) was so magical. He seemed so close where we were sitting and his voice was perfect. Also his big Beatle songs (plus he added some that he had never done live before) were still fresh. At that time I thought he was the best "live" act on the planet as Howard Stern famously said.
He was still very exciting to see in 2005 and 2010 because he was still performing Beatle and Wings songs that I hadn't seen live in the previous shows. But something changed after those shows (last 7 years or so). He stopped doing new "live" songs (except for the perfunctory 4 new songs from the new album). It was like he decided to stay with his famous songs that got the thunderous applause. He didn't challenge himself to do his more relatively unknown songs that were still, in my opinion, very good songs. Not sure why but I think Yankeefan said it best, it became too easy for him.
It's a shame because I think it hurts his Solo legacy so much. When most people think of Paul these days they think of him as the famous very talented ex-Beatle who also had some big hits with Wings. They also might think of his famous duets with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson (big hits but too Pop oriented for my taste) but they don't think of his more meaningful and mature Solo songs that are wonderful in my opinioin. HIs days of getting radio airplay unfortunately were over by the mid 80's so people in general today are unfamiliar with all his "later" gems. Sadly, Paul has contributed to that kind of thinking himself. It's fine to have his Beatle legacy (few artists have had that kind of success) but his career musically to me is far more than his Beatle years and a few of his Wings' hits.

It is very sad that his legacy in the eyes of the masses ended in 1981 which is 37 years ago. Imagine being a creative artist and the last almost 40 years of your career is basically unknown.That would annoy the heck out of me but it is obvious it does not upset McCartney. We have both stated many times all he had to do was play some of these songs in concert and my goodness even tell the audience something about the songs. In interviews all he had to do is tell interviewer he has talked about the Beatles for 50 years and wants to move on and talk about his solo recordings. Obviously he still thrives on being a Beatle and at his age it is too late for him to change.

I believe you are the one who created the thread regarding his setlist and the need for Wings/Solo songs. Myself and a few others agree with you 100%. Take a look at the youtube clips of "That Was Me" and "House Of Wax" from Paris shows and they are a treat !! It is too bad he never regularly played these songs on a tour. You also nailed it by mentioning "I Can Bet", it would be a killer song in setlist but no he has to play the other "New" songs to death. McCartney is a great performer live and like you said the only strike against him is that he basically does not do any songs past 1981.

Part of the reason Paul may not be taking fans’ requests into account may be that the signal/noise ratio is too low. If you look through the threads in which fans have stated songs they’d like to see him do, it probably includes his entire back catalog so the “requests” become moot. He might as well look through his entire catalog himself, which he might do, but he’s also got other stuff on his plate we’re eager for him to get done. Even when he does pick a deep cut he wants to play, some fans aren’t satisfied if it happens to be one they don’t like. I imagine that would still be the case if he adds a handful more.
I think it would help if we stuck to a small set of songs that seem to have a large backing among the fans. In pretty much every discussion, Take It Away seems to come up, probably because we recognize that not only was it a big hit that never got played, but it would go over very well with the crowd, even those who don’t know it. It even has the low-hanging fruit “In the audience, watching the show” line! No More Lonely Nights similarly comes up often as a big, widely known hit that was never played live, and which he could probably do decently now. Lesser known songs have to be much more compelling to draw in the crowd, but I Can Bet has come up a lot and does feel like it could work well.
He has also explicitly answered these questions about frequent attendees and setlist diversity -- he’s aware we’re there and thoughtful about how to appeal to us along with everyone else, but a lot comes down to the performance itself. He has rehearsed a bunch of other songs with the band, including some frequent requests like Uncle Albert, and just didn’t think they were working. Many of the most vocal setlist critics here are among the most vocal critics of aspects of his performance like his singing. When it comes to deeper cuts, wouldn’t you rather he selectively focus on ones he enjoys playing and feels he can do a strong job on?
He clearly appreciates the fans and goes above and beyond to show it -- always waving arriving and leaving, acknowledging individual fans, bringing fans on stage and into special rehearsals, jamming with them, reading their signs, and constantly interacting while playing.
It’s reasonable to hope he’ll add some new songs each tour from the full range of his career. I’m sure he would love for us to feel maximally included without losing everyone else, but these tour and setlist threads become unwieldy with the deluge of complaints and suggestions, so it makes sense if he and his staff tune them out. If we could prioritize what we most agree on, we’d probably have a better chance of being heard.

What he/she said!
Here’s my short list:
Take It Away, I Can Bet, Silly Love Songs
And if he must do another Beatles song, please make it What You’re Doing (he would have to lower the key though)
Get rid of Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! Do In My Life instead and the end of the song in falsetto.

Thanks for your post, AcresofFun! Agree with everything you said, and think you brought up some positive suggestions. Setlist changes aren't an issue with me, I'd enjoy hearing anything he'd like to sing for us, but feel if people post 2-3 favorite songs they'd like to hear, perhaps the powers that be will look at that, see which songs are requested the most, and take those into consideration.
I feel he does appreciate his fans, and their support no doubt means a great deal to him. I'm sure he's tried to rehearse many songs, but some just don't work the same live, as they did in the recording studio with special effects and instruments, etc., but I think he's tried to do his best in pulling together a group of songs that would appeal to everyone, which isn't easy.

If you have read the threads, myself and others have wanted him to do more of his solo work since he started touring with this band for the "Driving Rain" tour. As I have stated before, this was the perfect time for him to play more of his post Beatle/Wings songs in concert. He had not toured in almost a decade and he had a brand new touring band so it should have given him the freedom to experiment with the setlist after doing the "required " 20-25 hit songs. I have listed songs I would have loved to hear him play but they are just suggestions. Look at them again and tell me they are not quality songs and he could probably still handle most of them vocally. I understand the man is 75 so changes are not going to happen now. My posts have been just wishful thinking and touched with a bit of regret that the world will never truly know how good his music has been the last 20-30 years.
-
Again, McCartney gets no excuses from me, and my post are not just wishful thinking!
Over all these decades, McCartney has had plenty of time to change his setlist! This isn't something that just started recently, people have been asking for changes since the 90's, I know because I'm one of them! I saw his setlist becoming predictable and staying Beatle heavy back then, and it has remained that way! The people seeing him for the first time thing is tired and old now, they've had all these decades to see McCartney's Beatle heavy setlist!
More people know his more current music than you think, just look at Youtube and all the different musicians and people doing versions of his more current music! How many of his more current albums were in the top ten? His standards album was #1 on the billboard jazz chart! There's just no excuse for it anymore, the man has the material, he should be reaching much deeper than he does!
Yes he's 75, but he's still performing live and if he can still sing the songs he does, he can still add new ones! He's probably going to add songs from his new album, so he could add songs from thru out his career! As I posted earlier, he could do songs he hasn't done since the 70s, if they were good enough then, believe me they are probably even better now!
No one can tell me, crowds wouldn't be thrilled to hear Big Barn Bed, The Mess, Smile Away, Getting Closer, I've Had Enough, I Can Bet, That Was Me, House Of Wax, Take It Away, No More Lonely Nights, One Of These Days, Cafe On The Left Bank, Beware My Love, Best Friend, With A Little Luck, etc.
He plays some fantastic songs during his soundchecks, why not add them to the actual show? The song Alligator is one of them, another is Friends To Go, two great songs, why not do them in the show?! I just don't get it?
When it comes to live performance, Paul McCartney is leaving so much fantastic music just lying on the table?!
-
Unless someone who is really close to Paul, like his wife, or possibly bandmates, say that to him over and over again, it is fruitless to waste our breath. I will always love Paul and his music, but I seriously doubt I will bother to go see him live again. I have seen him enough over the years. Spent lots of money on 3 soundcheck Hot Sound packages. (I really have no idea how some people can go as many times as they do, but that’s their prerogative. No judgment here.)
-
As long as McCartney performs live, I will want him to perform more of his fantastic music!

Your are right Nancy and I know myself and BJ have beaten this subject to death. I gave up on seeing him live for a bunch of years, think the last time was in 2010. I was not even going to go then but my daughters had never seen him so my wife and I wanted to go with them to see him. As I have stated way too many times, I have heard him do all the hits many times and in a better voice so what is the point to go again. If he really mixed up setlist with 5 -10 different songs he has never played live than I would go see him again. I can't even imagine paying the money for his sound check package once, too expensive for my blood - lol. I don't think his family really cares what he plays, as long as he is happy and the money continues to roll in - ha ha. The bandmates have a better chance of getting him to play something different but I could not imagine it would be more than 1-2 songs at most.

1 or 2 songs that he has never done (apart from the new ones, of course).

Some lazy movement, bringing back 2 o 3 songs from previous tours (candidates: Another Girl, The Night Before, Your Mother Should, Lovely Rita, Listen To What The Man Said, Paperback Writer)
1 or 2 songs that he has never done (apart from the new ones, of course).
He needs to take out Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite! and replace it with another John song!!

Agree! But I have the feeling that he is totally in love with the lasers, and stuff that they put on Mr Kite. And to show off that fantastic bass line, makes you realise what kind of performer you're watching
But yes, it's been on the setlist since 2013, it's time to replace it now
