Thanks a lot Nancy for posting the set list. Great stuff of course but I was hoping for American Tune and Bernadette. Kodachrome is a lovely tune on the original album. I´ve heard Kodachrome several times live, but it never was so vivid as om the album. I would prefer an other song. But what am I talking about. Once in the theatre I know I will Love it. Looking forward to the Paris concert.

I agree with Bodo. Don´t expect many changes in the setlist. But I´m sure he will add Mother and Child and maybe some other songs later on. But just some minor changes.
For me he should skip Slip sliding, FAD, Here comes the sun and only living boy. I´d rather prefer him singing his own songs and SSA, FAD and TOLBINY were on the list in 20808 already.
Would Love to hear some Songs From The Capeman, YTO, Surprise instead or even older songs from the seventies. Just some stuff he never played before. Just my wishes ;-)

I´m aware that in the past Paul has tended to not really vary the set list much show to show, but...
I´m actually a bit hopeful that we´ll see some rotations in & out, at least on the two night stands in the same town.
Paul McCartney used to stick to the same set list for every show & in the last year or two he began changing out 5 songs for 5 other songs in his 36 song, just under three hour long shows.
My bet is that you´ll see Paul working around something similar...and maybe even some surprises & one off performances as the tour progresses. As I said, at the very least, my bet is that you´ll see some variations in the set list from night 1 to night 2 when he´s doing a two night stand in certain cities.

I think there´ll have to be some flexibility in the set list, because the festivals will probably require more of a greatest hits set.

Vietnam/Mother And Child Reunion I would expect to reappear at some point, since the band have obviously rehearsed it.

That´s a great setlist! I really want to know how "The Obvious Child" sounded!

For the person that wanted to know about the encores, there were two. The first was Sounds Of Silence (Paul playing solo), Kodachrome and Gone at Last (full band), and the second was Here Comes The Sun (Paul and Mark Stewart alone) and Late In The Evening (full band).

I´m Sorry for YTO (album ), that don´t have representation on this tour. The Teacher was a song that i Love it in live.

He did not include Graceland, Boy in the Bubble, or Al for the first time in decades.

Disappointed because "obscure" songs like Gumboots, Only Living Boy, and Mother have already been played a lot in recent years.

According to-

-theater-seattle-wa-3d3a13f.html
There was one more song on the setlist...according to the above report, Paul did "Mystery Train" at the end of "Hearts And Bones" along with "Wheels", made famous by Chet Atkins ("(song by Chet Atkins both â?¦ moreMystery Train and Wheels were sung at the end of Hearts and Bones as one")

Six new songs - I think only four have ever been played from Surprise.

Thanks Nancy for the setlist!

Looks like a great show and great that he did so many songs from the new album. I agree with Bodo that the setlist probably will not change much.

I DO think Father And Daughter is a Surprise song; it´s on the album. That´s the same to say that Love And Hard Times is not a SBOSW song, which it is.

I also like the fact that he does not play many S&G songs; save those for S&G concerts. I think he could have played two more of his songs instead of cover songs.

I also miss Train In The Distance which is one of my favorites.....:(

All in all, a great set and looking forward very much to next Saturday.

Love the selection though would have liked something from the capeman, maybe fans would get to the front could shout a few suggestions to him:)

Would have preferred still crazy over kodchrome or 50 ways (without Steve Gadd??) but thats just a personal preference.

the Irish audience in Cork won´t be pleased with the omission of The Boxer - they usually are shouting for it from the onset - but the lack of S&G songs may point to an S&G tour in the near future
