Perhaps the most surprising element of the set list for Paul McCartney's opening show of his new tour in Fresno last night, was that "A Hard Day's Night" opened the ball. Primarily known as a John Lennon composition, Paul always sang the middle eight, but now he had a chance to sing the whole song. He also performed Love Me Do, which he dedicated to the late Sir George Martin. Another surprise was that The Long and Winding Road, a mainstay at McCartney's concerts was not performed.
