Setlists

@yankeefan2 I don't think the create your dream setlist was ever to be used for Paul to create his own concert setlist. Think it was just something fun for people to do.
-
I understand it was for something fun to do for his fans, but it could also be used to get some feedback.

Exactly!

I couldn't figure out how to not use their selections, but I checked a list that was almost all post-Beatles and heavy with stuff he's never or rarely done live. I don't think he'll reconfigure his show based on this, but I figure every bit of feedback Paul and Co. get requesting more solo stuff can't hurt and might help a tiny bit.

"Coming Up" live in Sydney 28.10.2023!
-
Got to laugh. Paul does a different solo song but does he do something fairly recent, of course not. He replaced "Come on to Me" with "Coming Up" and the setlist added another song not written in this century.
-
@yankeefan2 What a shame it wasn't more recent.
-
What is the reason for exchanging only three songs (Drive my car, Come on to me and New)? Especially with two concerts in one city, an alternative setlist should be a welcome change for all sides. I don't understand it at all, especially because the band has rehearsed enough songs over the years...
-
I give up on him ever really changing his setlist much at all! ️
-
@njr I too.
but I would like to understand it on the psycholgical level. The contradiction of McCartney's huge musical ability and the meagre variations of the setlist (regardless of how Beatles song-heavy everything is... ) + the same old stories remains a mystery to me . What happened to songs like Night Before, Another Girl or Your Mother Should Know? Other permanent live songs could easily be replaced with this songs....
-
Exactly. Something off his latest album (McCartney III) or even different song from "Egypt Station".

Re: Setlists
I’m not perse disagreeing with what has been said before, but we havent seen changes like the recent changes in the setlist (YNGMYM, she’s a woman and coming up) in years. They all haven’t been done in over ten years. So, relatively, these are real surprises in the setlist

I know myself and others consider "surprises" as a song he never has done live before and not something that he did a bunch of years ago. If Paul suddenly did "Find My Way" from "McCartney III" that would be a nice surprise. Imagine if Paul did something like "Rocky Raccoon", that would be epic surprise.

Whether we like it or not, Paul has a long history of never swapping out more than a couple songs from show to show. He clearly likes to keep things pretty much as-is from night tonight. He ain't going to change now.

I second that emotion!

I saw today that Paul makes mention in his Australian tour book that he feels an obligation to play all the hits for the people who spend hard-earned money... And, I think rightfully so, as much as I'm part of the 2.5% in the audience that want the lesser-known tracks... but, in the program book, apparently... he says... One of these days, he is going to put on a "nerd show" to satisfy the deep fans... Let's hope so!!!!
I saw it on a You Tube "video" from a guy called Elliot Roberts, who is pretty good. Very good, actually.
I didn't have time to buy the program, or collect all the freebies that were part of my ticket, cos the place was absolutely packed!!.... It was tiny-footsteps-central, moving around from the carpark, to the entrance, to the right level, to the seats, to the right aisle, to the right seats.... It was crazy!
Don't know if anyone else saw that in the program book.

I'd take Rocky Racoon every time! And Why Don't We do it in the Road.... and my favorite Paul cover, Til There Was You.... And I will never, ever argue if he opens a set with Venus and Mars / Rockshow.
