So much for a fresh setlist lol. Other than the brand new songs and "909" not much different.
It is typical and should come as no surprise. Three to Four songs off the latest album to promote it which is good but the rest is the same old stuff which is a bit of a shame.
Couldn't agree more Yankeefan. I'm as big of a Macca fan as anyone but I'm not a fanboy/groupee in any way. I could care less if Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom was there. I was just interested in the setlist and as usual, very disappointed.
Except the 4 new songs from the Egypt Station sessions there was nothing there to get excited about. He has done almost all the songs countless times before except for "909" that Maccaroni mentions.
Just don't understand why Paul doesn't want "more" of his "very good to great" Solo songs better known. Without any research, here would be my dream "secret gig" setlist (in any order). I'm even giving "choices" from different albums. If I did some research, I could come up with plenty more that would be great to hear.
1.World Without Love - #1 song in 1964 he gave to Peter and Gordon
2. P S I Love You - similar arrangement as the Beatles' version
3. For No One - only done on one tour
4. I Will - only done one tour from my recollection
5. When I'm 64 - great sing-along for the crowd
6. Eat as Home or Smile Away from Ram
7. Getting Closer or Love Awake (from Back to the Egg)
8. Don't Let It Bring You Down or Cafe on the Left Bank (from London Town)
9. Take It Away or Somebody Who Cares (from Tug of War)
10. Footprints or Move Over Busker (from Press to Play)
11. Put It There or My Brave Face (from Flowers in the Dirt)
12. Hope of Deliverance (that's an easy one from Off the Ground as he has done it before multiple times with his band)
13. Little Willow or Beautiful Night (from Flaming Pie)
14. Promise to You Girl or Too Much Rain (off Chaos)
15. Ever Present Past or That Was Me (off Memory Almost Full)
16. Wings of a Nightingale (hit written by Paul for the Everly Brothers)
17. Early Days ( from the New Album)
Now add in the new songs from the Egypt Station sessions and this would be my "dream" type concert. There are many other songs that you could substitute that would be just as exciting to hear. But this would take time and rehearsals something that Paul obviously doesn't want to do. It's a shame in my opinion.
