Early seventies:during his first concerts in Europa Paul did not play any Beatles song.
Mid-seventies:the world tour featured five Beatles songs all signed MCCartney-Lennon (sic)
Late eighties/early nineties:the Beatles songs became the main course;more,with a few exceptions ("put it there" "band on the run" " live and let die"), the non-Beatles songs became a bore:who would have hoped for a "coming up " or "rough ride" live version?
At a time when U2 was covering his "helter skelter" (check the movie "rattle and hum") ,Paul was playing safe.But it's absolutely impossible not to be overwhelmed with joy when one is treated to the delights of "Hey Jude" "Back in The USSR" or the final medley of Abbey road Golden slumbers/Carry that weight/the end.
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
