Paul McCartney at Prudential Center: A night-to-night comparison

by JAY LUSTIG

Paul McCartney will perform at the Prudential Center in Newark on Sept. 11.

At the second show of his two-night stand at the Prudential Center in Newark, Paul McCartney played six songs that he did not play on Night 1, including “Listen to What the Man Said,” which made it into one of his shows for the first time since 2015.

I reviewed Night 1 of Paul McCartney’s two-night stand at the Prudential Center in Newark for The Bergen Record/NorthJersey.com. You can read the review here. I did not attend on Night 2 but got the setlist information from setlist.fm.

These songs were played the first night (Sept. 11) but not the second:

“Save Us”
“Temporary Secretary”
“Letting Go”

These songs were played the second night (Sept. 12) but not the first:

“Junior’s Farm”
“Jet”
“Listen to What the Man Said”
“I’ve Just Seen a Face”
“Helter Skelter”
“I Saw Her Standing There”

These songs were played on both nights:

“A Hard Day’s Night”
“Can’t Buy Me Love”
“Let Me Roll It”
“I’ve Got a Feeling”
