Set List critique

So he DID do "Long Tall Sally" after all!
-
Can't wait to hear that one!

and here it is

Cool! I think I like this version better than the Seattle one.
-
He really rocks that falsetto and the screams!
-
The last leg of the US tour is coming up. There's still hope for Early Days (or another song), as he will have time to rehearse any possible changes.

Long Tall Sally was OK. The screams and falsetto were easy for him, but the verses sounded rough to my ears on that clip. Band sounded great as always. I think it's safe to say that not a damn thing will change for the fall shows....and why should it?

All the concert reviews seem to be written by the same person, and say the same things. You know, "It was a Magical Mystery Tour thorough Yesterday and Today!"

You forgot "Beatle Paul McCartney..."

Yup!

Why can't Paul just add a song without subtracting a song. In KC, it was great to hear 'Kansas City' BUT he cut Hi Hi Hi. And he cut Helter Skelter in SF to play Long Tall Sally. Sorry SF fans, but HS is a highlight of this tour as is Hi Hi Hi.

He added "On My Way To Work" in Albany, and "San Francisco Bay Blues" in S.F. (without taking anything else out).

I think in SF that neighborhood has/had a curfew and it was already extended so he could play until midnight since he started an hour late waiting for all those stuck in traffic to try and get there. I think adding in songs VS. taking songs out wouldn't have worked here. I could be very wrong but I did hear rumblings around me from those familiar with the park and area saying they were surprised they let him play past curfew. I will say though I'm really glad I got to hear Long Tall Sally live!

"Long Tall Sally" is a special rarity, for sure. I consider myself lucky that I got to see him perform "I'm Down." Good compromise.

I respectfully disagree. I would much rather have "Long Tall Sally" in SF than "Helter Skelter". He's done HS at every concert for many years, so it is not a highlight to this tour. To see Paul do LTS at age 72 is a phenomenon.

Well in the 3 shows I attended this summer, Helter Skelter was a huge highlight. The response during and after the song was overwhelming; in Fargo, Lincoln, and KC ! Give me HS over Long Tall Sally every time.

Helter Skelter was just played in San Francisco last year. It has been on every tour since 2004 for whatever reason, I'm not sure. Paul McCartney also made first time appearances in Fargo and Lincoln. He could've played "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and it would've been a highlight.
-
At the risk of TOTALLY contradicting some of my previous posts: To me, "Helter Skelter" is an ABSOLUTE MUST for Macca's concerts. I was blown away when he added it to the set in 2003, and I still check out the latest performances today.

... in Fargo and Lincoln. He could've played "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and it would've been a highlight.
Now that's a bit of a stretch.

Well, at least it would be a new song in the set list!!
