Paul McCartney has long hinted he'd like to bring more deep cuts into his live sets, and fans have highlighted "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" as a prime candidate for its first-ever concert performance. The 1971 chart-topper, recorded by Paul and Linda McCartney between The Beatles and Wings, has never been played live, likely due to its unusual structure and studio-heavy production, but its enduring popularity means a debut would be a treat for long-time fans of his post-Beatles work.

In a 2013 Rolling Stone interview, McCartney described dipping into his back catalogue for "hidden gems" before tours, citing songs like "Why Don't We Do It in the Road", which he subsequently debuted live with Neil Young in 2016. He also named Wings-era material, including "Uncle Albert", as songs fans frequently request, though he noted the tricky, non-standard time signatures make them harder to learn. The article notes he has previously debuted similarly complex songs decades after release, such as "Mrs Vandebilt" in 2008, suggesting a live outing for "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" remains plausible.
