How Many Beatles Songs Does Paul McCartney Do Live? Expect These On The Australian Tour

For those who haven’t been to a Paul McCartney show before and wondering how many Beatles songs he does, based on his most recent setlist from Glastonbury in 2022, the answer is 23.

To place that into perspective, when The Beatles performed in Australia in 1964, they performed 10 songs. Sir Paul has more than twice the number of Beatles songs in his solo set than The Beatles had.

Even at the last concert appearance by The Beatles in the 1966 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, The Beatles performed 11 songs, still less than half the current McCartney setlist.

The Beatles songs from the 2022 show were:

In Spite of All the Danger (1958 The Quarrymen song released on The Beatles Anthology, 1995)
Love Me Do (from Please Please Me, 1963)
I Saw Her Standing There (from Please Please Me, 1963)
I Wanna Be Your Man (from With The Beatles, 1963)
Can’t Buy Me Love (from The Beatles, A Hard Day’s Night, 1964)
I’ve Just Seen A Face (from Help, 1965)
