To me, All Together Now sounds like a children's song. A good one. But still, nothing I need to travel hundreds of miles and pay hundreds of dollars to hear live. When do I go home and say, " I really want to hear All Together Now!" Never. That's when.
Maybe so. But to me, it's one of the highlights of the current tour. I enjoyed it much more than a Hey Jude or Let it Be, simply because they are starting to go stale.
That's cool. I've never heard Mull of Kintyre live, so that is one I would prefer. But I believe you when you say All Together Now is a crowd pleaser.
Yes, Mull of Kintyre is on my Paul live bucket list. Next time he swings into Canada, I'm going. No excuses.
Seeing him perform "Mull of Kintyre" was exactly why I went to Vancouver a couple of years ago.
I think he should play it all the time.
It was a huge world wide hit.

With the At The Speed Of Sound remaster hitting in September wonder if by some miracle Paul might shock everyone in the 2nd leg of the tour by getting out the Rickenbacker for just one song - Silly Love Songs. If he did that (even with no other changes in the setlist), it would be truly mindblowing
I don't think he realizes how incredible that would be as surprise in the set list. We can only dare to wish and dream on that one!!
If history is of any use, it tells us that Paul has completely ignored the remasters in regards to tailoring his show in anyway whatsoever around them.
Well, Wings Over America did help the 2013 version of "Out There".
How so?
Hi Hi Hi, Man Said...
Plus, he brought back "Mrs. Vandebilt" and "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty-Five" around the "Band On The Run" reissue.

They were already part of the show in 2010, weren't they?

Sure, but that must have been because he had been approving and helping to prepare the upcoming re-release in November that year.

I've been away for several days, trying to catch up with this active thread! I do agree that "Silly Love Songs" and "Ebony And Ivory" damaged his reputation in the rock world, which is one reason he doesn't do them, but I also think he wouldn't possibly ever do "Silly Love Songs" without Linda. It would sound... silly.

Wasn't "Mrs. Vanderbilt" put in the set list originally because it was voted for by fans in Kiev and after great response he left in in for awhile?

Yep. The reason why "Mrs. Vandebilt" was added to the set list was because of the fan vote in Kiev.

And I have loved the Ukrainians ever since.

That song has my vote too. Wish it was still in the setlist.

Paul McCartney is definitely not the only who tells the same stories on stage over and over and over. As some of you might've heard, Dolly Parton pretty much stole the show at this year's Glastonbury Festival. I watched it -- great show. In addition to new songs, she did her signature tunes -- including "Jolene." After the song, she said that 'Jolene' was a woman who'd caught her husband's eye early in their marriage. Then Dolly joked that whenever she looks at her husband today -- old, balding, grey hair -- she wants to find Jolene so she can come and take her husband off her hands. Funny lil' story. Anyway, I just got a copy of Dolly's 2008 Live In London DVD -- from 2008 -- six years ago. And she told that exact same story. Oy.

I'd like to know why the heck he dropped A Day in the Life. Hearing him play that was so spectacular.

Still does not excuse McCartney just because Dolly and some other artists do it. I can't imagine they don't know that there are people who try and see them every time they tour and have heard the same story. Really, is it that hard for McCartney to say something different about George Harrison in his tribute.This is his old friend and he can't just say something about him every night without it be scripted - lol.

Now I am curious about what song a US crowd would pick if they had a vote.
