Paul McCartney rocked Boston last night and again tonight. Here are the the set lists from the soundcheck and concert.

So, in conclusion: The concert set list was unchanged since Citi Field, but the inclusion of a brand new song at the soundcheck was interesting. And hopefully, someone will have taped the soundcheck. Paul was highly energized and highly interactive with the crowd, according to Bob.
