   • 2026 March 29, Matt Mitchell, “In LA, Paul McCartney is king”, in AV Club‎^[1], archived from the original on 30 March 2026:

     The setlist didn’t stray from what McCartney played at his similarly intimate Santa Barbara Bowl gig last September, though “Flaming Pie” snuck into this concert’s final act, opening the door for a rousing back-to-back-to-back of “Jet,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” and “Get Back.”
