Paul McCartney’s Got Back US tour continued with a show in Denver, Colorado, last night (October 11).
The Wings frontman and Beatles songwriter played a staggering thirty-five-song set at his show. McCartney has changed up his setlist slightly compared to the songs he performed on his European and UK tour last year. The Got Back tour will see McCartney perform across the United States, with his dates in Las Vegas and a surprise set in Santa Monica introducing Help! to his setlist for the first time since 1990. Minor changes were made to the show in Denver, with McCartney and the band playing a snippet of Jimi Hendrix’s Foxy Lady during Let Me Roll It. The setlist beyond that was much the same as the previous nights, with Help! and Coming Up added to the show.

Whether McCartney makes any changes to his setlist later on the tour is yet to be seen, but the veteran performer will be touring across the US until late November. The massive setlist and Got Back tour comes as McCartney confirms details of a “lovingly curated time capsule” compilation album representing Wings’ decade of music. The album, WINGS, will be released in several formats, including a 1LP and 2CD set on November 7.
McCartney personally curated the song selection, which features classics from Band on the Run and deep cut hits like Arrow Through Me from Back to the Egg. A 3LP set will also be released, which features a hardback slipcase designed by McCartney and Aubrey Powell.
The three-LP set features thirty-two songs from Wings’ back catalogue, including deep cuts like Helen Wheels and Deliver Your Children. The announcement comes as a book on the band is set for release later this year.
A product description for the 3LP Wings collection reads: “WINGS is the ultimate anthology of the band that defined the sound of the 1970s. A lovingly curated time capsule of imagery and music personally overseen by Paul McCartney, WINGS includes thirty-two timeless international hits, including Band on the Run, Live and Let Die, Jet and Let ‘Em In – songs that still feature in his live shows to this day.
“Presented in a hardback slipcase, the 3LP 180g vinyl collection was designed by Paul and Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell of Hipgnosis. The expanded booklet also includes an introduction by Paul plus extensive album-by-album notes on the iconic artwork written by Po, with additional editorial by Pete Paphides and showcases original portraits of the band by Humphrey Ocean. In addition to the booklet, the 3LP set includes a poster.”
