Anyone here know what was played at the sound check on Dec. 3? I heard it started an hour late. Thank you!

...or, maybe the sound check material Paul mentioned recently.

For the same reason that the Beatles never re-united, Paul would never re-unite Wings.

I was reading in the new Revolver book about the "Yesterday...and Today" LP. Someone in the Beatles camp mentioned that instead of putting three new Revolver songs (I'm Only Sleeping, Dr. Robert and And Your Bird Can Sing) on "Yesterday and Today" the should have used the B-side of Help ("I'm Down") along with their new single...Paperback Writer and Rain.
What are your thoughts?

Mine arrived yesterday (5 cd package)...$108 from Amazon. Amazing stuff!!

Thank you, Phil...that was so nice!! I hope all is well!

@5th-beatle ...it could be the European cities he had scheduled for May and June, 2020...before they were cancelled.

@kㅤ We went to one sound check on the 2022 Got Back Tour...it was the last show of the tour in E. Rutherford, New Jersey. I would say it was one of the more memorable sound checks because Paul (and the band) played my request. As the tour progressed it looked like we would not be hearing any new material from his latest LP McCartney III during the concert since he was alternating "Women and Wives" with "Let 'Em In" quite often. I brought a sign to the sound check that said..."Paul, Please Play "Women and Wives"...and he did!!!
Of course my two favorite sound checks were when Paul called up my son and me in Philadelphia in 2010 to sign our shirts on stage, and the other was in 2016 at MetLife Stadium when he called us up on stage to join him and the band for a song..."Get Back"...AMAZING experiences!!

@dmorin6 ...I'm sure they will be the next two archive releases...hopefully soon.

I have finally added my own book ("Welcome To Sound Check...") to the McCartney / Beatles library I own. It's a personal look back at ten sound checks my son and I have attended from the Up and Coming Tour in 2010 through the Got Back Tour in 2022. Many photos never seen before!

@kㅤ thank you!!

@njr ...thanks, Nancy! Yes, it took a couple of tries to "re-register".

Signed in to new MACCA Forum...hello everyone!

He saw the sign and played it!!!

He played it during the soundcheck or regular concert?

Played it during sound check.

"Can't Buy Me Love"....opener!

How many people here are going to Paul's Spokane show this Thursday?

I've got a feeling that Get Back will be performed in the set given the tour title and the film release.

Mrs. Vandebilt would be a solid.

Now that I think about it, Hope of Deliverance would not only be a gem to hear live, but could also be a nod to Ukraine, given its vintage, when Eastern Europe had an optimistic outlook.

In addition, Sir Paul's great Bass playing on the highly underrated Good Night Tonight, now that would be thrilling to hear as well. It would fit nicely right before an encore/ The End etc. I wonder when was the last time he has played Good Night Tonight live in concert?

The last time he played "Goddnight Tonight" in concert was in 1979 with Wings. However he played it recently in London as a "guest performer" with another band.

Less than 2 weeks until the first night of the tour in Spokane...and 2 months until MetLife rocks again!!

My wild guess is he'll open the concerts with I Want To Hold Your Hand.

What a great opening song!
