McCa Set List/Win Tix From Me This Week 

Previous Posts

By Kaedy Kiely

Back from Boston and my trip couldn't have been any better!  I got to see lots of family and McCartney at Fenway Park!! 

McCa was fantastic -- he always is, but it's the first time I've seen him playing outdoors in a stadium.  The sound was terrific and, since chances are you may not actually be able to see him onstage from your vantage point at Piedmont, there are huge screens on either side of the stage you'll find yourself staring at even if you can see a miniature Paul.  In Boston the doors opened at 5 and the opening act started at 6:30 -- Paul started just a couple of minutes before 8.  Since doors open here at 4, I imagine you can back up the times an hour for the show here at Piedmont Saturday.  Here's the set list -- it hasn't varied so far:

  • Drive My Car
  • Jet
  • Only Mama Knows
  • Flaming Pie
  • Got To Get You Into My Life
  • Let Me Roll It/Foxy Lady (yes, Hendrix's F L)
  • Highway
  • The Long And Winding Road
  • My Love (dedicated to Linda -- one of my favorites of the night)
  • Blackbird
  • Here Today (for John)
  • Dance Tonight
  • Calico Skies
  • Mrs. Vanderbilt
  • Eleanor Rigby
  • Sing The Changes
  • Band On The Run
  • Back In The USSR
  • I'm Down
  • Something (ukulele version for George)
  • I've Got A Feeling (LOVED hearing this live!)
  • Paperback Writer
  • A Day In The Life/Give Peace A Chance
  • Let It Be
  • Live And Let Die (with fireworks!)
  • Hey Jude
  • (first encore) Day Tripper
  • Lady Madonna
  • I Saw Her Standing There
  • (second encore) Yesterday
  • Helter Skelter (rocked out!!)
  • Get Back
  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/The End

They played for just over 2 and 1/2 hours.  Don't plan on sitting down -- it was a dance or sway fest the whole time.  The crowd was awesome -- aged 2 to 92!  Though tickets are still available, you might win your free ones from me -- I've got them every morning through Friday at 7:10.  Good luck!
