More Beatles, Less Wings


From the July 21, 2013, Chicago Tribune.

"Paul McCartney played to a packed crowd Tuesday night at Miller Park in Milwaukee. The set list continued a recent trend of McCartney playing more Beatle songs than his solo or Wings material."

SONGS PLAYED AT CONCERTS     (Beatles 1st, Wings/Solo Songs 2nd and Covers 3rd)

1976 "WINGS OVER AMERICA": 17%, 77%, 7%

1990 "TRIPPING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC": 47%, 41%, 12%

2002 "BACK IN THE U.S.": 58%, 42%

2013 MILLER PARK: 67%, 33%.

Not only that, but McCartney played a lot of different instruments during the concert: Bass on 12 songs, Acoustic guitar on 11 1/2 songs, Ukulele on 1/2 song, Electric guitar on 2 1/2 songs and Piano on 9 1/2 songs.
