PAUL AT CONSOL ENERGY CENTER, PITTSBURGH / SETLIST / PHOTOS

 
Paul arrives in Pittsburgh at Consol Energy Center:

Paul returned Monday night for only his fourth visit, at the sold-out Consol Energy Center, two shows into a U.S. leg of the Out There tour.

On his last trip here, opening the venue in 2010, he eased in with Wings. Paul hit the stage after 8:30 and played “Eight Days a Week,”and his second song "Save Us".
Paul wore the standard blue blazer, white shirt and black pants, Hofner bass and a smile fronting the great band: Rusty Anderson, Brian Ray, Paul “Wix” Wickens and Abe Laboriel Jr.
He went to piano to caress a tender “My Valentine,” dedicated to Nancy, pound out the Wings rocker “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five” from 1974, and memorialize late wife Linda with a “Maybe I’m Amazed”. Brave move to tackle that one mid-set, and the likes of “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” “Another Day” and “And I Love Her”.

“Blackbird,” which sent him up on a riser with his acoustic, was typically lovely. He went off the standard set list to send a happy birthday to his dad and Ringo not with “Birthday” but a jaunty “Yellow Submarine.” “Here Today,” to John Lennon, was fragile and conflicted, and to beloved George Harrison he delivered a scratchy ukelele-led “Something” with audience sing-along.



 Paul sang a portion of "Yellow Submarine"(replaced "On My Way To Work") and "We Can Work it Out":

Mixed into the hit parade were a few offbeat goodies in “All Together Now” “Lovely Rita” (with divine harmonies) and a magical laser-filled “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.”
The explosive “Band on the Run,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Let It Be,” “Live and Let Die”, “Hey Jude.”,“Day Tripper,” “Hi, Hi, Hi” and “Get Back,” and built up to a guitar- and throat-shredding “Helter Skelter” and a stunning slice of the “Abbey Road” medley.
