Paul McCartney closed out his three shows at the Tokyo Dome April 27 with a couple of minor set changes as he had two days earlier for the second show at the venue. He returned to his original Tokyo opener, “Magical Mystery Tour,” and dropped “Eight Days a Week.” But he also brought in “Listen to What the Man Said,” removing “Jet.” And in the first encore, he brought back “I Saw Her Standing There,” dropping “Can't Buy Me Love.”
