The penultimate show on the Got Back tour saw Paul McCartney play his usual set of hit songs from his time in The Beatles and Wings.
Canadian audiences were treated to rarities Michelle and Mull of Kintyre, but both were omitted from McCartney’s show at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The veteran songwriter has been performing a similar show from venue to venue, adding Help! and Coming Up to the main set, The Beatles track for the first time in over thirty years. Hits like Drive My Car, Letting Go, and My Valentine are also featured in the set, with the show last night (November 24) marking the penultimate performance on the Got Back tour schedule. McCartney will perform one more show tonight (November 25), with no further dates announced.
It is not yet known whether McCartney will return to the stage, though the legendary performer is rumoured to be working on a new album for 2026. A full setlist for McCartney’s United Center show can be found below.

It comes as McCartney previously shared how he unwinds while touring, saying he watches films on his iPad and reads music biographies to pass the time on the road. In his You Gave Me the Answer Q&A post on his website, McCartney confirmed it was film and television which helped him pass the time best of all while travelling. He said: “I don’t knit, I imagine that would be quite cool, actually. Tom Daley knits and so does Michelle Obama, and I get why they do it; it must be a great release of tension.
“But I watch movies. So when I travel from London to New York, its normally a seven-hour journey so I end up watching about three movies, and in the middle of it all I try and have a meal. I just go to ‘New Releeases’ and unfortunately they’re not new – I’ve seen most of them!
“They don’t update them quick enough for me. I scan through and think ‘ah, I’ve been meaning to see that’.” When it came to being on a car journey, it was an iPad filled with films and television which kept McCartney occupied.
He continued: “On car journeys, I watch stuff on my iPad which can be films or series. I’m currently on Better Call Saul and it’s a good one. I don’t read on journeys so much, I read at home instead before going to bed.
“I get ready for bed and the last thing I do is read. Nancy will often look at a series at that time, but I think it’s not conducive to sleep because some of the things she’ll watch are a little too exciting, and the plot will keep you up all night! So I try to read biographies, which can be a little bit dry. After a few pages you start you yawn, the page goes fuzzy, so it’s light off and straight to sleep. I like that!”
