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

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
Thats true off course, although we do have live versions of That was me. The soundcheck recordings are one of the few possibilities to hear songs being performed live that weâve never heard live before. I recall Paul saying that he was going to put out an album with these soundcheck songs, but that has yet to come.

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
Thank you for your response! I agree with you in terms of setlist choices⊠I also think he can play some different songs without messing with the âBeatles coreâ of the setlist. I was also convinced he would play more of Mc3, but unfortunately that was not the case. And so when Glastonbury came and they announced that the setlist would be changed up, again I was excited and thought this time he would really give us something new. Off course it still didnât happen. Too bad, even though it didnt stop me from really enjoying the concert His show is made for the majority of the people that attend his shows and I donât think he will change that any time soon. Maybe someday, when the soundcheck songs are released, we can enjoy the songs that we hardcore fans really enjoy

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
I donât think a new album is rushed necessarily. Paul has said that he writes a song a week. So over the course of more than two years, there should be enough really good material for him to record. And in addition to that, at the beginning of the year he already said he was recording in the studio and was looking forward to doing even more so. Therefore I think it is very well possible for him to release a new album this year. I am also convinced that with all his experience and craftmanship he can put out an excellent album that will not be a let down after the previous albums. And the voice is a given and I think one should judge a new album based on the fact that it is a 80 year old man and try not to compare it with his voice of 30 years ago. Personally Iâm not bothered by his voice. I still love it and what he can do with it. This is based on Who cares and Slidinâ for example on which I think he sounds really good. I am really looking forward to anything he puts out, just to hear a fresh Macca song in 2023 (or whenever) and see where his creativity leads him and us. Itâs actually unbelievable to me that we can still expect new music this far in his life and career. And off course I would also like all his unknown gems to be generaly known hits, so that everyone appreciates him like we do!

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
Thanks for your post! I hope youre right, especially for the december 2023 part I am really looking forward to a new album! Not to say desperate :p. I also think it is really quiet regarding Paul in 2023. I hope he used/uses this time to finish the new album! Maybe itâs a double album haha!

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
@yankeefan2 Cool! Iâd settle for 4-5 rockers on an album any day

RE: Paul McCartney- New Album for 2023
Hello everyone,
I am curious what kind of music style you would like to hear when Paul releases a new album of originals? What would you prefer? I would like a âbass heavyâ album. Preferably with another bass than the Hofner. Or at least some tracks with other basses. I would also really like another piano rocker. And last of all I would be very curious how a song would sound when Paul throws in a little 80s. But on the other hand, that is going on so much right now that I hope he is not going in that direction. In the end I just want a real Paul sound and I canât wait to hear what his latest sound is. Slidin and Long tailed winterbird sounded so fresh.
I would like to hear your thoughts!

RE: Forum acting up again???
@wandy yeah, I think all we can do now is be patient I check the forum very regularly now, because I think something might be announced very soon, so itâs a pitty you canât access it now :S

RE: Forum acting up again???
@oobu24 yeah, Iâm also encountering problems. For example when I open the âNot such a bad boy threadâ, I receive the message that an internal error has occurred and that the connection was lost. This happened throughout the entire day and was not solved by logging out and in again. Is this a known issue? Thanks in advance!

RE: Cheese & Grain, Frome - June 24, 2022
Wow, this is a cool suprise! And so is the announcement that the setlist won't be the usual setlist! I guess this is what we've been wanting to see! I hope someone makes some cool video's! Enjoy, for the people that are actually going!

RE: Set List critique
Hello everyone,
Having seen the setlists of the tour so far, we can say that this is probably it. Not much changes from concert to concert. I do think that Glastonbury is likely to have a different setlist; it is a festival with a special occasion after all... Paul has said that he doesn't know what they will do exactly, but they have some tricks up their sleeve. In the past we also saw him perform some alternative setlist on special occasions. What do you think? Is it likely that we will get the much desired changes in the setlist for Glasto?
Thanks!

I was out all yesterday afternoon doing errands with my wife and I noticed how Maccaboard lit up after Paul's "You Gave Me the Answer" Got Back Setlist article appeared yesterday morning.
Some interesting responses from fans.  My first reaction was that some fans have to be realistic.  Someone was pushing for more Ram Songs.  I get it but you have to remember that Paul was like in his early 30's when he recorded Ram and he has been incessantly touring for like 50 years since Ram.  The  problem is that Paul couldn't sing well most of the songs from Ram with his current voice.  I keep going back to the fact that in my opinion Paul sings best on songs from his more recent albums.  It makes sense since during the recording of those songs on McCartney 3, Egypt Station, or New... Paul had his "older" voice.
I noticed that vocally Paul sounded real good on "Womens and Wives" (from McCartney 3) in Spokane the other night. He also sounded good on "My Valentine" (from the "Kisses" album) as well as "Come On To Me" from Egypt Station.  I think Paul is confused about what the hard core fans want.  We don't mind that his current Setlist is Beatle heavy but what we want are different choices of his newer songs on this "Got Back" tour than what Paul and Band did in 2018/2019.  For example, on his tour 3 years ago he did "Come On to Me" and "Fuh You".  Instead of those recent songs, give us "I Don't Know" or "Dominoes" also from Egypt Station.  He did "I Don't Know" on several Soundchecks in 2019 and looking at the Youtube video from the Soundcheck in Glasgow in 2019, he sounded real good.  Instead of "Fuh You" now give us "I Don't Know" which is, in my opinion, a way better song.  I think "I Don't Know" is one of his very best Solo songs ever.  And give us more than 1 song from his latest album McCartney 3.  I think Paul can  sing these new songs better now than some of the old songs because Paul did the McCartney 3 songs with his older voice.  The other thing is that it would so cool to hear "Seize the Day", "Slidin" and "Find My Way" with the full band including the horn players.  They would be a little different than what you got on the album.
That is all we're hoping for.  You don't have to change the whole setlist.  The last thing that would help if you change a few of the 2nd tier Beatle songs (not signature songs like Blackbird or Hey Jude) that you have done on the last few tours to different Beatle songs this time around.  Instead of Mr. Kite or In Spite of All the Danger, think about songs like Rocky Raccoon, I Want to Hold Your Hand, or Two Of Us.  Think about Beatle songs you have never done or rarely done on previous tours.  This would make "Got Back" a little better for your biggest fans and "Beatle Only" fans would love them too.
Was this basically the post you wrote in You Gave Me The Answer on paulmccartney.com that got deleted?
Repost it!
I agree! This is a great opportunity to share these views and opinions and this one really makes sense because it safisfies everybody I will also write something tonight, to express my own view on this topic. I also think he should make other choices in general (more solo stuff and don't stick to certain  songs so long). But besides that, I also wish he'd do more songs that fit with recent events, like Ukraine. I think Paul is someone who could bring people together with his music and I would really love it if he'd play a song like Hope of deliverance. With a good introduction, this kind of addition could really make the concerts even more special than they already are. I also hope he does make the Glasto concert a bit special...

Hello everyone! The release of Mccartney III Imagined is already some months ago now. However, Paul is always developing new music. We learned about a new song that he played in the 3, 2, 1 documentary for instance. He also said in one of the online conversations that accompanied the release of Imagined, that he was working on a song with a young producer (I forgot his name). So the last few weeks I was wondering when Paul will release new music? I donât think it will be in the near future, since his precious output has been relatively recent. Maybe some new music will accompany the new book in november? what do you think? Thanks!
He is writing the music for the musical "It's A Wonderful Life" and until it actually goes on stage, he will be needed for re-writes and maybe additional music. Nobody sems to have any idea when this musical may actually be done. That may not be the trype of music you are looking for but it will be new music.
True and true Good point!

Which radiostation and what was the time? Sounds promising! I had tickets for Nijmegen last year...
Yeah, me too It was NPO radio 2, de Staat van Stasse. This program is on air between 8 and 10 pm. And the show I am referring to was monday 21st of june.
