» Coachella ‘09: Paul McCartney’s 35-song set list (OC Register Soundcheck)
No maybe about it – looking at this set, I’m amazed. Finding it hard to make a case for any other show I’ve seen rivaling this for my all time #1.
One small clarification for the usually reliable soundcheck.freedomblogging.com – it was Hendrix alright – but “Foxy Lady” that Macca & Co. jammed out on.
I definitely remember it being Foxy Lady. There must be a youtube of it somewhere. It was amazing how many people were still buzzing about the set on Sunday.
Your “source” bailed early with everyone else and missed the third encore! Maybe I’m Amazed and then Michael Jackson joined for Say Say Say. Still can’t believe it!!!
I was there. He did “I Saw Her Standing There” after “Lady Madonna.”
OMG. You guys do not understand. Paul was pretty boring and not fun to watch up through Long and Winding Road. First of all, he was late, and his bass wasn’t turned up enough. Then, he played way too many Wings songs. Me and my friends took off during Long and Winding Road. I understand that after that he played a bunch of Beatles songs, and I’m disappointed I missed it, but dammit Paul I needed to get my sleep to survive all three days and watching you until 1 was not going to cut it!
i am still recovering from that night. best musical experience ever!
well in response to zacks comment about paul being boring..you left during the long and winding road so you stayed 7 songs into it…did you honestly think that he wouldnt play any beatles song? everyone knew he second hour is nothing but beatles songs!and as far needing sleep to survie i’d lose a few hours of sleep to see a LEGEND! to bad the next time you wanna see him youll have to spend what it cost you for a three day to coachella…u missed out on one the best sets ever at coachella! this is my fourth year in a row i was there for prince and roger waters and also madonna’s set a couple year back this is the one of the best…
@Zack… you left and said it was boring? The end of Long and Winding Road is right when my wife and I got over to him. There was not a single moment after that where we weren’t absolutely enthralled. His show on Friday night is easily in my top 2-3 of all time, probably #1. We still made it through the end of the Cure on Sunday night too. You missed out on a life changing show.
PAUL WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zack: sorry, but you’re an idiot…paul started 24 minutes after he was scheduled to. BIG DEAL. plus it takes a bit of time to dial in when switching bands. DUH. it’s sad that some people give up like that. OMG ZACK.
anyway…to the real fans: lets hope he plays again soon!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!! if you walked out on Paul good luck in Life!!! you should even be allowed to listen to any kind of music!! but hey its your life!!! Paul is out of this world amazing!!! if you are a fan of creativity, genius, art, music, and the Beatles its a must see! trust me paul doest need any fair weather friends at his shows and neither do his TRUE fans who would love some space to enjoy the magic that is HIM!!!
I LOVE PAUL!!! Right on DANA you are the SHIT!!!
[...] He played for almost three hours, I think. For a full set list, see this. [...]
Boring? Sleep? WTF!! I only slept 8hrs the whole weekend. When you have the chance to see the best concert of your life you can´t sleep. For me was a sexual experience, was way too much of what I expected. At the end of the concert I was speechless and crying.
The best!!!
[...] un par de veces más, dos horas y media, más clásicos, fuimos parte de la historia, vivimos el legado, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club”, [...]
How ANYONE could have left that show early is beyond me! I was there and it was the most amazing show I have ever seen (and I have seen a LOT). It was a life changing experience.
Zack you’re insane. Paul was AMAZING!! Its just so unfortunate that I was so extremely thirsty, and my back was killing me. Between DRIVE MY CAR and MY LOVE I was in a lull and in pain, and felt like I was going to pass out, but Paul’s magic got me through it and after BAND ON THE RUN I was completely lost into the music.
FREAKIN’ AWSOME MAN. LONG LIVE PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walked out,HUH!!???? Now,just suppossed Paul had walked out on us years ago,then we wouldn’t have his music or the memories we gained from it.I think the word people have for you is COP OUT,but, hey, your life,your loss. Paul is great,fantastic,ect…ect….That’s all folks!!!
Thanks life for Macca…
whoever this A hole Zach is needs to be thrown in an insane asylum and brutely beaten until the brown cheese in his brain falls out. PAUL IS AMAZING !!! a LIVING LEGEND and we all dont realize how fortunate we are that we have a chance to see him live. So Zack I hope your spine cracks !! PAUL RULES !!!
Did Michael Jackson really join Paul for “say, say, say”? If so it must be his last public performance, so why haven’t clips of this been played non-stop since MJ’s passing?
Say, Say, Say and The Girl is Mine to be exact
I’ve seen Paul a few times, the last time I went up for one of the United Center shows since he wasn’t hitting St. Louis. On the 93 tour once in StL and then the KC show…The 02 show was MUCH heavier than 93, I’m a fan of heavy, don’t get me wrong but, the 93 tour was just the most amazing band he’s ever amassed…I recorded the KC show and the tape is out there, despite a tween sitting next to me pretending it was 64 and she was required to scream in THE most shrill voice, the show is a real gem…I have one of the 89 shows from the Rosemont and that’s good too, but the 93 band…just can’t be out done…
