The best songs are the ones that make you jump out of your seat.

Those are usually the ones he's never done live since the Beatle break-up - or the ones you've never heard live before.

The Flowers in the Dirt tour was the most amazing in that respect.

That was his first tour since Wings Over America and the first time he really let loose with the Beatle songs.

A particular thrill are the songs he's NEVER EVER done live. I'll never forget the crowd going wild when he did "Sgt Pepper" and the Abbey Road finale on that tour. The place went nuts.

But ...

Hey Jude when everyone is singing along to the coda - the joy and togetherness between everyone at that moment is something special. Hey Jude is a fantastic example of how music can bring people together for a brief moment in time and let everything go.

Even people who hate the beatles music with a passion get caught up in the chorus and start singing along.

If you're talking about recorded "live" versions than it's gotta be Coming Up or it could be The Mess or Soily since we only get "live" versions of those great tracks. But, seeing him live...Let Me Roll It just brings it home, baby. 1985 was pretty kick ass as well with everyone stomping and clapping with the piano intro to every verse. Letting Go worked really well live also but Live and Let Die is that point in the show where everything explodes (pyro, lights, collective ...

"I'm Down." But if you're talking non-Beatles, I think "Band on the Run" is pretty dang fun.

17! The universe agrees with me!

Live and Let Die was amazing in concert! I wasn't expecting the pyrotechnics at all. Something was really amazing with the photo montage, a lot of the pictures I had never seen before. Also one that really stuck with me was the one he sang in tribute to John Lennon Here Today, had me bawling my eyes out in the first verse!

I have dreams about seeing Live and Let Die performed live. I bet that would be epic.

It is epic, especially with the fireworks going off throughout the song and the massive display at the end. Unbelievable

When I saw Paul in Miami last April, the individual songs that really jumped out unexpectedly were "Something", "Ob La Di, Ob La Da", and "Blackbird". But the section that was just overwhelming was the regular set closeout with "A Day in the Life/Give Peace a Chance", "Let it Be", "Live and Let Die", and "Hey Jude."

I don't think there was a dry eye in the house during "Let it Be." I know I could barely sing along, I was so choked up.

Interestingly, you wouldn't think a James Bond shoot-em-up score like "Live and Let Die" would be a ...

Honestly, that song only improves when performed live.
