Since this is the first show on the proper "Egypt Station/Freshen Up" Tour, here's what I'm hoping to see:
*I Don't Know - during one of the piano sets...I love the song and would like to see how well he can do it live. Maybe his vocal could even surpass the studio version
*Come On To Me - as someone else said, this is a "given" in the set. Relatively speaking (we're in 2018!) it has done quite well on the Adult Contemporary Chart...up to #6.
*Happy With You - during one of the acoustic sets...Another one I love and it sounds like a song that could have been on Paul's first Solo album "McCartney". Vocally, Paul does it real well on the album in my opinion.
*Who Cares - this is a must and probably my favorite song on ES. It rocks and Paul and Band have plenty of room to do a slightly longer version live.
*People Want Peace - I love the album version and I think it would go down really well "live". A song that Paul could get the crowd singing a la "Give Peace a Chance"
*Dominoes - Another one of my top favorites on ES and again, one that is just begging for a live performance from Paul and his band
*Do It Now - Another new "piano" song that Paul can add to the "Freshen Up" tour. Like "People Want Peace" Paul can get the crowd singing with him.
That's 7 songs and notice I didn't include "Fuh You" which I'm pretty sure he will do so that would be a total of 8 songs.
Hopefully he will do at least 8 ES songs!
While I like your optimism, and I enjoy most of the songs you mention, I dont think people will be singng "People Want Peace" like they would Give Peace a Chance. Sadly, I think more people will have blank stares, orwilll be headed to the bathroom. I always fnd it funny that "fans" of performers like Paul and his contemporaries will pay $150-$2,000 for a ticket, but wont invest $12 on a CD to hear their new music.
