That's not really the point. As I pointed out here some years ago
(the last time McCartney debuted a "new" set list of songs written and
recorded before I was born), Paul McCartney could do a two-hour set of
nothing but solo and Wings material that would shred most artists'
greatest hits selections, and would involve considerably less
nostalgia-massaging among the baby boomers. The problem is that he
hasn't got the balls to do it, so he sticks to the cheap and sleazy
"Gee, remember how great the Beatles were" jive, which as Jaimie
points out now involves doing songs he didn't write or sing.
It's lame.
