Currently, the legendary Bob Dylan is on tour and will continue to be through the summer, but it's unknown if the equally iconic Paul McCartney will catch a show.During an interview with The Rest is Entertainment, McCartney was asked if there were songs he feels obligated to play in concert that he may not like to. You might think he's tired of “Hey Jude” or “Let It Be,” but it doesn't appear he is. The former Beatle is very self-aware of his audience, and he doesn't want to alienate them by not playing his biggest hits or drastically changing their arrangements.“If you’re going out to do a show, I know who’s in my audience most of the time,” he said. “It’s kind of families. So it can be granddads [around] my age, or it can be their kids, and then it could be their kids. So, it’s quite a spread. So, I think, Well, we could do songs they don’t know. I have a lot of black holes. But they’ve paid a lot of money.”McCartney then explained that he had seen Dylan in concert. Dylan is notorious for changing the arrangements of his classics, if he even plays them. It makes for a guessing game in real-time while he's performing. This isn't McCartney's preferred way of putting on a show.“I’ve been to see a couple of shows of Bob’s, and I couldn’t tell what the song was [that] he was doing,” McCartney claimed. “Now that’s a bit much, because I know his stuff. I get it if he doesn’t want to do ‘Mr. Tambourine Man.’ Maybe he’s fed up with that, but I would like to hear it. And I’ve paid.”McCartney and Dylan perform very different concerts. When you see the former Beatle, he plays songs from his Fab Four, Wings, and solo career. Meanwhile, Dylan plays a lot of lesser-known songs. Even when he plays his biggest hits, they rarely sound like they did on the original record.Currently, the legendary Bob Dylan is on tour and will continue to be through the summer, but it's unknown if the equally iconic Paul McCartney will catch a show.
