No trace of songs from “McCartney” or “McCartney II” though, isn’t that a little strange? We would have expected some old chestnut live songs from those, like “Maybe I’m Amazed” or “Coming Up”. I’m hoping some rarely performed ones will sneak into his later set lists, I mean he has performed songs like “Every Night”, “Hot As Sun” and “Singalong Junk” once upon a long ago. There’s been a mix of “Temporary Secretary” in the pre-show music for ages now, how about a performance of that? I bet Wix could handle the backing to “Summer’s Day Song” and Paul could easily do “One Of These Days” on his own. Let’em In!
