I believe he did.
He does seem to discount much of his post-Beatles material. "Vanilla Sky,"
"Here Today," and (if memory serves) "Calico Skies were the only post-1980
save for the ones from the one he was touring behind, Driving Rain. Why
never play "Getting Closer," "Back Seat of My Car" (underappreciated
classic), "Uncle Albert," "I Had Enough," "Tug of War," and for that matter
anything off Venus and Mars or Band On the Run (besides the title track and
"Jet")? And you can add your own dozen or two. To his credit though he
does seem to pull out a fresh Beatles song or three every tour-- recently
"She's Leaving Home" and "Getting Better," among my favorite
McCartney-Lennon songs...
