Sir Paul McCartney’s third show of the 2012 leg of his On The Run tour took place at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp, Belgium.
Some minor changes were evident in the setlist. The concert opened with the ‘Venus And Mars/Rock Show’ medley, and ‘Jet’ was played as the third song. ‘Let ’Em In’ made an appearance, but ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ was dropped.
As with previous shows, a few lines of ‘Yellow Submarine’ were played before ‘Band On The Run’. ‘Drive My Car’ was played in the first encore, replacing ‘Day Tripper’ which was played in the second encore instead of ‘Helter Skelter’.
McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums).
