Paul just did Oh Darling with Chrissie Hynde at the Tribute Concert for Taylor Hawkins on 9-3-22.
Definitely a live rarity, I think the one and only live time fr that one.
Yes, 1st time ever. I think he said 1st time in a hundred years! lol
Ooh! And I missed that!!

@rondos said in Paul McCartney 2023 Rumors:
this is probably fake (spelling mistakes !) but hopefully a grain of truth in there somewhere (rumours been going around all week about an upcoming tour !)
I hope it isn't true. I hate the thought that Paul might be doing his last ever tour, even if I know he's getting to the age where he'll have to retire.
I doubt anyone who watched or heard Paul at Glastonbury last June thought "now there's a man who needs to retire!" I heard an 80 year old man burn through a 3 hour set with energy to spare! To me it was just inspiring!
Speaking of the Archive Collection; when are we gonna see the last two Wings albums London Town and Back to the Egg reissued?!
@njr Streaming has taken over as the predominant music listening format. The Vinyl comeback continues to grow. But even with all the beautiful Deluxe Box Sets, like McCartney's Archive Collection, CD sales are disappearing. There are fewer and fewer CD outlets, and even Target has gotten rid of most new CD releases. Sadly but true, the shiny silver disc which all but destroyed the Vinyl business, is nearly at its end.
For me it was "I'll Get You" and "Please Please Me" on the 2005 US Tour. That whole show was full of surprises!
Some other rarities that come to mind were "Another Day" and "Good Rockin' Tonight" at the New World Tour concert in '93, and "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" at the Hollywood Bowl in 2010.
But i guess by your "criteria" the only real rarity was Venus and Mars/Rock Show in 2010.
They were still touring at this stage also. Hopefully there will be some live recordings as part of the "Bonus Features"! 
Driving to L.A. soon for tonight's show! Anyone else on the board going to Sofi Stadium to see Paul tonight? Whoooo!
I'll be in Sec. 124! Can't wait!

Was there, not sure if my brother took any video. I’ll have to check with him. It was a great show, wasn’t it. Supposedly no one is further than 400 ft to the stage at the JOINT! I have some great still photos from that trip.
I was there too. It was a fantastic show, and Paul was in top form! I only have some photos and a few video clips I took on my cell phone. I have not seen a full video of this show, but I do have the complete bootleg of the concert on CD. Same cover as somebody posted. Excellent recording!
The Joint is now called The Theater at Virgin Hotels, after Virgin bought the Hard Rock. And now the Hard Rock Hotels just bought The Mirage on the Strip and they are going to build a new hotel there. It's where The Beatles LOVE theater is, so I wonder what is going to happen with their show?

I know it’s not the most reliable source, but I just saw on facebook a post with a quote from Paul, announcing the release of an album with tracks from the soundchecks from the past years! That is the best idea ever! Realllllly looking forward to that, especially since attending a soundcheck is such a rare happening and you always miss out on some tracks you also really want to hear!
Actually, a lot of the songs on "the Russian album" Choba B CCCP he plays during soundchecks. That was just reissued. Maybe that's what he was referring to?
Thanks for starting this thread. Greatly looking forward to the 50 Anniversary of Abbey Road...and the treasures The Beatles will release for the occasion!

Last year the November/December concerts were announced in July, so maybe an announcement can still happen anytime between now and the next couple of months?
There are several European countries that have not seen the "Freshen Up" tour yet, for example.
The post on his Instagram said the show at Dodger Stadium was the end of the tour. So at least for this year, I don't think any more shows will happen.
Paul seems to have slowed down a bit: his pattern used to be more than 30 shows in the year, but he did 18 shows in 2018 and 21 shows in 2019; similar amount in both years, so perhaps it's his new pattern. He has already toured Canada, USA, Japan, South America and 6 countries in Europe. I think Australia is too far way for him to return, since he was there not so long ago.
It's time for the man get some rest and really "freshen up" things for next year.
I compared Paul's setlist from the 2014 Out There concert at Petco Park and the 2019 Freshen Up concert at the same...the only repeats were Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five, Maybe I'm Amazed, I've Just Seen A Face, Blackbird, Here Today, Queenie Eye, Lady Madonna, Eleanor Rigby, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Something, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and the finish of set one -
For the encore both shows had Helter Skelter, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End.
Out of 38 songs, there were 20 repeats. And a total of 6 numbers I have never seen him do before. Given that the energy level, the performance, and the production were much better than 5 years ago, it felt pretty "fresh" to me!

Anyone selling a ticket or tickets for this?
There's a lot of tickets on the reseller site Stubhub. Wait 'til the day before, or the day of the concert and you will get a ticket for face value or less. (It's just a tip, I've done it before)
Ah! Fantastic!! Thanks for the tip!
Also, just noticing your sig. Were Paul and Ringo at the LA Convention Center in 2014??!?! How did I miss this!? Lol
Yes, Paul and Ringo played together that night. They also bowed together at the end, just like The Beatles did at the end of every show. It was just amazing to be there!

Out of those, I only have the solo Beatles ones and The Moody Blues “Octave.”
I disagree about Mind Games and RRS.
Me too! I also think Octave is quite good.

Paul McCartney: 16 Things You Might Not (Read No.
We’ve heard #8 a million times. And some of the others are partially incorrect. #7 - never heard that. The story was that he flubbed the guitar solo and John probably laughed. #11 - he was made an honorary fireman and they gave him a NYFD t-shirt. #12 - debatable. Wikipedia says 2,200 but it could be more like 3,000 covers of Yesterday. #14 - Paul dropped to #2 last year Andrew Lloyd Webber is #1.
I thought the Guinness Book of Records said Yesterday was the most covered song, with more than 3,000 versions.

Loved watching this so much, it's really going viral, everyone is talking about how much they loved seeing it. Very well done!
When he was a young lad, I can imagine him going into the bathroom to play his guitar, just for the acoustics, lol. He probably loved that, lol. He later recorded sounds from the bathroom for a Wings album... needed to have just the right sound he was wanting
I agree with everyone. It's like a mini bio-documentary! VERY COOL!!!
I agree; first thing I thought after watching was that it was almost like a documentary. Very well done with funny conversations, Beatles history, and, of course, singing! Really a great piece and I'd say a must-see for any true classic rock fan.

An amazing show to watch, especially after I had visited Liverpool a few weeks after the show was on. I waited to watch it until after my trip. It was so cool!
