RE: Rehearsals !!
"Decisions, decisions… ️
Three days to go before the first #PaulMcCartneyGotBack show! What would you like to see on the setlist?"
Paul, since you've asked, I would choose my 2 favorite tracks from McCartney III: Pretty Boys and Women And Wives.
I would also enjoy I Want To Hold Your Hand as the opening song.
Silly Love Songs (with the horn section), Big Barn Bed, Helen Wheels, Goodnight Tonight and Getting Closer would be nice as well.
That's all for the moment

RE: Set List critique
Perhaps he'll sing "Mrs. Vandebilt" and say it's his way of showing support for Ukraine.

Following the start of the new American tour next week, we can't expect any UK/EU announcment before the end of it. Which means no Europe shows until at least September
Perhaps a few shows in November/December as he's done in previous EU/UK tours?

RE: Set List critique
My wild guess is he'll open the concerts with I Want To Hold Your Hand.

RE: The Rarest Paul Song You Seen/Heard Him Perform Live
- "Back In Brazil" at two concerts
- A bit of "All You Need Is Love" on the piano at the concert in Ecuador
- A bit of "Yellow Submarine" with a cartoon of it on the big screen at a couple of concerts
- The "ooh ooh ooh" part of "Back In The USSR" on the piano for a minute or so after that song ended, before he started the next one
- "Hope Of Deliverance" and "Ram On" at a few concerts
- Soundchecks: "Oh, Susannah" (playing a small harmonica, not singing), "Sun Is Shining", "Ebony And Ivory", "Every Night", "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying", "(I Want To) Come Home", "Petrushka", "Leaning On A Lamp-Post", "Calico Skies", "Blue Suede Shoes", "I'll Follow The Sun", etc
- Improvisations at concerts lasting a minute or so each mentioning the name of a Brazilian city, such as this one:

RE: The Rarest Paul Song You Seen/Heard Him Perform Live
I saw him sing "Back In Brazil" twice, both times in Brazil. The only other live performance of that song was in Chile, before he arrived in Brazil.

RE: 2022 "Got Back" European/UK tour
Paul was supposed to play Glastonbury (and Euro concerts) in 2020, so perhaps he'll do it this year?
The last US show is scheduled to happen the week before Glastonbury, so the US tour could be seen as a warm-up for it plus European shows, followed by the rumored July concerts in the US.

It would be great! Where did you see this rumor?
Someone told me about it and did not ask for secrecy, so I guess there's no problem sharing the info.
Do you trust him/her? Because anyone could say that kind of thing
Yes, I believe it's possible.

RE: Paul Mccartney 2022 - rumours
If the marketing director of the stadium says 3 shows might happen there this year and considering that the rumor from Argentina is that Paul's team is in negotiations with the venue, I guess anything is possible. It's his decision, after all.
Regarding reducing the number of people at Morumbi Stadium, the rumor from Argentina (link posted above by our friend Andrew) made it clear that Paul's staff is looking for big stadiums so that social distancing can be enforced. Here's the actual quote:
"Teniendo en cuenta la situación sanitaria por la pandemia de coronavirus, el staff de Paul busca grandes estadios para cumplir con distanciamiento social".
That should not be a problem with the seats around the field (they can block some of them so that people are kept apart, just like they have been doing with movie theaters in Brazil), but they would also have to put reserved seats in the field, a couple of meters apart from one another, if they are serious about enforcing social distancing. That would reduce the number of available tickets and increase the prices.
Time will tell. If he does return, it will certainly be a different experience from his previous tours. I've been vaccinated 3 times already anyway, so if I have the time and the money I'll try to attend at least one concert.

RE: Paul Mccartney 2022 - rumours
How odd that Morumbi Stadium is being considered, instead of the stadium in which he played back in 2014, 2017 and 2019... if there's any truth behind those rumors, of course.
How safe would it be for a nearly 80-year-old man to do the kind of concerts he's gotten used to (thousands of people together) during this pandemic?
I suppose he could put a limit to the number of people in a stadium (let's say, 50% capacity), but tickets would be twice as expensive. He's not going to cut his fee by 50%, after all.
I don't know... I would like to see him one more time, but at the same time I have a feeling it would be a big risk for him to tour in the next few months, no matter the time.

There are rumors about shows in South America (Brazil) in March 2022. Not so sure about that, but when there is smoke...
Yeah, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo... but I seriously doubt he will return here in just 3 months' time.

We reached a large sitting room, and, as he plopped down on the couch, a hearing aid sprang out of his right ear. He rolled his eyes and, with a complicit smile, used his index finger to push the wormy apparatus back in place.
McCartney also wants to go back on the road, a life that he finds invigorating. “I’ve been doing this for a long time,” he said. “So another me takes over: Professional Performing Paul—the triple ‘P’!” If the question is “Why do you keep at it?,” the answer is plain: “I plan to continue living. That’s the central idea.”

RE: Paul Mccartney 2022 - rumours
It makes sense for Paul's team to be negotiating with a few European cities for a Spring/Summer 2022 tour and for that info to have been forwarded to a DJ from that region.
After all, there are musicians who have announced European tours for that timeframe already, such as Eric Clapton in May/June 2022.
