I looked through my old email client to find the post a little over a
year ago in which I did just this, and I stand by my assertion that if
Paul did a set list that looked remotely like this, I'd be first in
line at the Orpheum box office:

All righty. I added three particular semi-obscure faves and two songs
by younger composers that I thought Paul would do well by, all marked
with asterisks. I'd consider the Ticketmaster charges for a set like
this:
FIRST ELECTRIC SET:
Venus and Mars/Rock Show
Getting Closer
With a Little Luck
Listen to What the Man Said
Put It There
*Old Siam Sir
*American UFOs (a song from John Southworth's MARS PENNSYLVANIA that
I've always felt was heavily indebted to circa-VENUS AND MARS Wings)
Daytime Nighttime Suffering
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (has he ever played this one live?)
Tug of War
ACOUSTIC SET:
Bip Bop
Ballroom Dancing
Goodnight Tonight
Temporary Secretary
*Single Pigeon
*San Ferry Anne
Silly Love Songs
SECOND ELECTRIC SET:
Let 'Em In (ideally, this would be started acoustically with just Paul
and the drummer, and the rest of the band would fall in)
Too Many People
Big Barn Bed
Take It Away
Press
This One
I Lie Around
I've Had Enough
*Giddy and Gay (High Llamas song from GIDEON GAYE that's always
sounded McCartneyesque to me)
1985
ENCORE:
How Do You Sleep?
Hi, Hi, Hi
