The Chicago setlist was one song longer than the Fenway Park show a year earlier, with 'Save Us', 'New', 'Queenie Eye', 'Everybody Out There', and 'Get Back' added – all reflecting McCartney's 2013 album New, which had been released in October 2013. 'New', 'Queenie Eye', 'Save Us', and 'Everybody Out There' were all from that album, giving the Chicago audience a substantial preview of his most recent work alongside the Beatles and Wings classics.

'Here Today' was performed as a solo acoustic tribute to John Lennon. 'Something' was played on ukulele in tribute to George Harrison. 'Helter Skelter' provided the show's heaviest moment before the Abbey Road medley closed proceedings.
