Hi Joe,
yes, I get your point, but he has been playing this song in each and every
world tour he makes. He obviously likes it, no wonder! But I find it way
overused. It's not that he hasn't got a catalogue to choose from. :-)
Most of the people attending his shows have known him for a long time, so he
should dig deeper in their catalogue. It's nice to hear Band On The Run for
the zillionth time, but I'd love to see more obscure stuff being played.
I don't want to compare, but I cannot help thinking about the thrill before
going to a Bruce Springsteen concert... what will he do tonight? Sure, Born
To Run, Thunder Road, etc... but he will also play obscure stuff, and that
is a way to thank long time fans too.
best!
Francesc

comments on "Let Me Roll It" when I play Paul tunes than any other song.
Maybe it's that the familiar stuff holds no

would like. Unscientific, sure, but there you have it...
