Someone posted another setlist for the first date -

It includes the song WHEELS, sung after Mystery train. The list seems very accurate so I believe it is true - but I have never heard of that song.

Can someone confirm it, and can someone tell me who wrote the song Wheels?

I did a google search, telling me WHEELS is a song by the FOO FIGHTERS.
I heard once Paul admires them, but that would really Surprise me.

Anyone have any idea?

Paul said in this interview he would play a cover by Chet Atkins so I guessed this was it - although he didn´t play Vietnam strangely?

Oh...I better don´t tell you, but that song by Chet Atkins reminds me a lot about traditional Austrian folk music (played on a zither!) [maybe also Swiss or even more bavarian folk music...]

I am absolute no expert on that music ..haha - but I hope this is not the next direction Paul will go

I Love Chet Atkins, I have the album he recorded with Mark Knopfler. He was a great guitarist! Can´t wait to hear Paul´s version of his song.
