So what songs should Paul and Ringo add to their sets this year?
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are both touring this year.
So Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are both touring this year. If you had to pick a song for them to include in their setlists, either for the first time or back again, what would it be?
(Above: Paul McCartney singing “My Brave Face” live on UK TV.)
For Paul, there are many choices. We’ve always had wished he’d do “Mull of Kintyre” in the U.S., but barring that, some good Beatle choices might be “Rocky Raccoon,” “Teddy Boy,” “Clarabella” (from the BBC days), “Two of Us” or even “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road.” As for solo songs, there are many, but here are a few: “Off the Ground,” “Spies Like Us,” “My Brave Face,” “I’ve Had Enough” and “With a Little Luck.” (We especially like the last two.)
As for Ringo, here are some suggestions: “Matchbox,” “Goodnight, Vienna,” “Wrack My Brain”, “Back Off Boogaloo”, “Don’t Go Where the Road Don’t Go” (still one of Ringo’s best solo songs ever) or “King of Broken Hearts” (which originally featured George) and even “Goodnight.”
Sure, none of these songs may show up in the sets. But who says we can’t throw out an idea or two.
Feel free to put your ideas in the comment section.
