Keeping track of the Paul McCartney set list changes? It's an interesting sport. He likes to keep us guessing on what he'll play each night.
There were eight songs he played at London's 02 Arena that he didn't play in Phoenix. And there have been a bunch of other changes in the last two shows.
Here's the changes we found. For the most part, we didn't include the all the placing of the songs, mostly just the songs added and taken away.
Played in London, but not in Phoenix: "Magical Mystery Tour," "Drive My Car," "Only Mama Knows," "Flaming Pie," "Wonderful Christmastime," "Mull of Kintyre," "Helter Skelter."
Added to March 28 Phoenix set: ""Venus and Mars" and "Rock Show", "All My Loving," "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five," "Every Night," "Two of Us," "Letting Go."
Changes to March 30st Hollywood Bowl set: "Helter Sketer" was added in. That was an awkward choice considering much of the Manson Family story happened in Los Angeles. Plus "Letting Go" was moved to the fourth spot from 20th in Phoenix, causing the rest of the set to be shifted.
Changes to the March 31st Hollywood Bowl set: Taken out: "Got To Get You Into My Life," "(I Want To) Come Home," "I'm Looking Through You," "Two of Us." Added in: "Drive My Car," "Let 'Em In," "I've Just Seen a Face" and "And I Love Her" (a nice surprise).
Here's the full set list for the March 31st Hollywood Bowl show: Venus And Mars / Rock Show
, Jet, All My Loving, Letting Go, Drive My Car, Highway, Let Me Roll It / Foxey Lady, The Long And Winding Road, Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five, Let ‘Em In, My Love, I’ve Just Seen A Face, And I Love Her, Blackbird, Here Today, Dance Tonight, Mrs Vandebilt, Eleanor Rigby, Something, Sing The Changes, Band On The Run, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Back In The USSR, I’ve Got A Feeling, Paperback Writer, A Day In The Life / Give Peace A Chance, Let It Be, Live And Let Die, Hey Jude, Encore 1: Day Tripper, Lady Madonna, Get Back, Encore 2: Yesterday, Helter Skelter, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band/The End.

No speculation here. We'll just let McCartney sing the changes.
He actually DID play Helter Skelter and Highway in Phoenix.
Nope. Just as long as he keeps touring and adding dates in the US this year and making changes, I'll be a happy camper..glad to see him finally start to change up and offer surprises..
I'm so glad he took Flaming Pie out! It didn't belong in there with the previous set lists, there are better songs (and he found them) to give him a breather between the fast numbers.
I'm glad to see a little more variety in the Wings category, but please Paul, take out Let Em In...you have done it for years and it's a dirge. Give it a rest! You have soo many more songs in your arsenal to give you a breather than that one. That one is my run to the loo and buy a drink song!
Paul McCartney is the BEST!!!! WOW!!! What a show and he's such a gracious person too! Let 'Em In sounded fantastic and everybody in my section was singing along too.
I really can´t understand why he NEVER, adds GIRL´S SCHOOL to the set. Isn´t that one fantastic ???
Hey shouldn't "I'm Looking Through You" be added to the list of songs added to March 28th...it was a biggie, a live premiere & a highlight of the brilliant "Rubber Soul" album!!
We need some Monkberry Moon Delight
