Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

McCartney: Up and Coming Set Lists

The first leg of Paul McCartney's "Up and Coming" tour has now been and gone, and we are able to compare set lists. The first gig at the Jobing.com arena in Phoenix, Arizona on the 28th of March featured 36 songs (medleys are counted as one song in our summary). There were two world premieres: "Nineteen hundred and Eighty Five" from the Wings album "Band On The Run" (1973) and "I'm Looking Through You" from the Beatles album "Rubber Soul (1965). After the first gig, "Every Night" (from the McCartney album, 1970) was dropped, and the set list reduced to 35 songs. At Hollywood Bowl on the first night (30th of March), apart from the missing song, "Letting Go" (from the Wings album Venus and Mars, 1975) changed places in the set list, and was placed much earlier in the concert. So much for adjustments in the set list. The second concert at the Hollywood Bowl (31st of March) was so different that we can label it as an alternative set list. "Got to Get You Into My Life" was substituted by "Drive My Car."  "(I Want To) Come Home" was substituted by "Let 'Em In." "Two of Us" was substituted by "And I Love Her."  "I'm Looking Through You" was substituted by "I've Just Seen a Face." On the next concert, on the 3rd of April at the Sun Life Stadium Miami, they reverted back to the usual set list, and on the final concert at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico on April 5th, the alternative set list was used.
