The Liverpool setlist was appropriate because it was a very special occasion. Even though I think something like Juniors Farm or Only Mama Knows would of been a better opener! McCartneys regular tours have been predictable for the last twenty plus years! It's time for him to totally reinvent the setlist for the future! I don't care what anyone says, performing the same basic set of songs for twenty plus years is just far too long! It's always going to be someones first time seeing McCartney, does that mean the man has to play the same show over and over and over for the rest of his life! This man has #1 songs that he's never even performed live, how do you choose to play a song like C moon and never play a top ten hit like Juniors Farm? There's just no way that can be justified. If you're a true McCartney fan, you would want to hear as much of his music as was humanly possible! If he is regarded as an oldies act, it's his own fault because he hasn't presented the public with a live show that's representative of the variety within his amazing career! His setlist is old, tired, repetitive, predictable, and becoming redundant and boring! It doesn't have to be that way, McCartney needs to dig deep into his Wings and solo material and put together a totally different show that we have never ever seen before. He and we are very blessed that he has the fantastic songs to do it!
Exactly. There are other hit singles like "Take It Away" that he never performed live. I also think he selects the wrong songs from latest record to perform live. Fox example, "About You" would have been great for the "Driving Rain" tour. "Promise to You Girl" would have been excellent for the "CHAOS" tour. If he tours this year and does not do "Only Mama Knows" and "House of Wax", he is crazy. As for Wings stuff, why not do acoustic song like "Bluebird" from BOR. He could give his voice a break during the show and do something like "Rockesstra", bet the band would love it. Heck, I would even love to hear "Silly Love Songs" again. I love the Beatles as much as anybodybut some of these numbers have been played to death. (Hey Jude, Longand Winding Road, Let It Be, Yesterday etc). Why not perform things like "I Feel Fine", "You Are Gonna Lose That Girl", "Rocky Racoon", "Oh Darling", "And I Love Her" etc?
