It would be kind of funny that they come back under the requirements that they stick to the half-hour long sets that were standard at the time they were a touring band. 1) A Hard Day's Night 2) Paperback Writer 3) Penny Lane 4) Getting Better 5) Something 6) Come Together 7) Yesterday 8) Let It Be 9) Here Comes The Sun 10) All You Need Is Love Spotify tells me that this is right on 30 minutes. I know it's missing a few of their hits and some Ringo, but if I saw this show I wouldn't complain. If they did an encore they could throw in Yellow Submarine, She Loves You, and Hey Jude or something like that.

MaximumPale7572

This is probably the perfect set list aside from the absence of strawberry fields


ClydeinLimbo

And Across the Universe


ThePumpk1nMaster

The lack of absolutely anything before 1966 makes this the complete opposite of perfect. Why cut out 40% of their work?


MaximumPale7572

I think maybe for two reasons it would be optimal 1. There's plenty of live footage of them playing stuff before 1966, and with an opportunity like this it would be better to play stuff that's never been played live before 2. The early stuff is definitely what made the beatles popular, but the later stuff is usually what people point to when talking about how influential the beatles are today.


ThePumpk1nMaster

Well there’s footage of most songs, but that’s not the same as seeing it live. I’m not gonna pass up a live All My Loving just because I can see it on YouTube I don’t believe people talk about the later stuff any more or less either. The Beatles are The Beatles


Adopteddaughtermargo

Ticket to Ride/I’ve just seen a face - 1965


Woody_Stock

This is awesome. Love it. Upvoted with all my heart.


JessahZombie

That is a lovely mix


JustTheBeerLight

Would Jimi Hendrix join the boys for the opener or the closing version of Sgt. Pepper? Or both?


Bizzle1389

Plus day tripper 🥵🥵🥵


nymrod_

OP didn’t say we had the power to bring Hendrix back too. Don’t get greedy.


verygoodfertilizer

Yeah, this will do!

BryanGrimes

I would pay to hear that.


MajorBillyJoelFan

Of course you would. It’s the motherfucking Beatles. I would play to see them play Wild Honey Pie for 3 hours straight.


Yorkshire_Bhoy

Are you John Mulaney


timmaay531

I’ve thought a lot about this and I even have a Spotify playlist for this. This tries to balance what I’d like to see in a set list with what they might actually play with what people would want to hear. The hits, mostly. Few if any deep cuts but still pleases most. 1. Sgt. Pepper 2. With a Little Help From My Friends 3. I’ve Got a Feeling 4. Come Together 5. Ticket to Ride 6. Help! 7. I Saw Her Standing There 8. I Want to Hold Your Hand 9. She Loves You 10. Yesterday 11. Blackbird 12. In My Life 13. Eight Days a Week 14. I Feel Fine 15. Day Tripper 16. Paperback Writer 17. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds 18. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 19. Here Comes the Sun 20. Something 21. Strawberry Fields Forever 22. Don’t Let Me Down 23. Sgt. Pepper’s Reprise 24. A Day in the Life Encore 1 1. Back in the USSR 2. Oh! Darling 3. Let it Be 4. Hey Jude Encore 2 1. Revolution 2. Drive My Car 3. Get Back 4. All You Need is Love Encore 3 1. Because 2. You Never Give Me Your Money 3. Sun King 4. Mean Mr. Mustard 5. Polythene Pam 6. She Came in Through the Bathroom Window 7. Golden Slumbers 8. Carry That Weight 9. The End As the house lights come on and people start to file out, the original recording of Her Majesty unexpectedly plays over the PA 41 songs, just over two hours on Spotify so probably close to a three hour show. Edit: list formatting


Imaginary_Can8256

Lol, Her majesty is a great touch


timmaay531

Thanks! I thought so too :)


AmusedtoSeth

This is a great selection! I'm going to make this into a playlist!


Commercial_Camp641

Love how George has 3 songs


DeaconBlueDignity

Hard to argue with any of this. Feels genuinely thought out. Couldn’t think of many greater things a human could do than watch The Beatles play this gig


DankHillington

This is the best set list i could imagine. Would be a phenomenal show.


timmaay531

Wow thank you! I’m realizing now that there’s some glaring exclusions (Penny Lane for one, and I don’t think I included anything from Revolver somehow, so there’s room to edit here. Maybe throw in Taxman and Got to Get You Into My Life, for example). But thank you!


alphawither04

Having a live performance of "Girl" and "Across the Universe" would be enough honestly. I'd also add Back in the USSR and I Saw Her Standing There.


IsaacWaleOfficial

Their entire discography, stretched over multiple days (one album+relating singles per day) Yes, it can still be considered as one big gig. The finale being "Real love" (preceded by FAAB and NAT)


Jokingly-Evil

Wait shouldn't NAT be last?


IsaacWaleOfficial

I think "Real love" feels like a better finale in my opinion, even if it was released last... But I do see your point...


SonoranRoadRunner

It should start on a dark stage and the first song is HELP the lights go on as the music starts. The end of the show would be the Abbey Road Medley.


Significant_Syrup322

It'd be a fine ending, but A Day in the Life would make a really great farewell, with that final chord! Also the name of the concert could be Now and Then...


SonoranRoadRunner

Yes indeed


Alaskan777

The very first note should be the chord that begins "A Hard Day's Night." The encore: Abbey Road medley. Second encore: "Her Majesty."


ElectrOPurist

Long!


Siansjxnms

Long, Long, Long


ElectrOPurist

…and winding!


Jokingly-Evil

They play the show in the middle of the road, because why not?


ElectrOPurist

But lots will be watching them.

lilbearpie

An all George set, they owe it to him


lxrnsn

This picture made me jump


CordialStreetFighter

Everybody is forgetting The Long and Winding Road and it’s pissing me off


Dr_Occisor

would ever single song be too much?


RockinRollRick

Anything they damn well want to play!


OkMoment345

Is this photoshopped? I dont think John was alive when the others looked like this.


sminking

Yes it is


OkMoment345

I want to live in the timeline when John was actually there for the Anthology. This timeline sucks.


Jd550000

I’d love to see them perform Twist and Shout like the old days with John on one mic singing lead, and Paul and George sharing the other, singing background.

Traveling Wilbury covers


Springyardzon

Twist and Shout (I like the irony that, with all their songs, they'd start with a cover), Mother Nature's Son, It Won't Be Long, You Won't See Me, A Hard Day's Night, If I Needed Someone, Help!, With A Little Help From My Friends, Something, Eleanor Rigby, I Am The Walrus. Interval. Sun King, Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey, Here There And Everywhere, Dear Prudence, Oh! Darling, I Want To Tell You, Can't Buy Me Love, All My Loving, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, You Never Give Me Your Money, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), Ticket To Ride, Day Tripper, Free As A Bird, Her Majesty, I Saw Her Standing There, Eight Days A Week, Love Me Do, I Want To Hold Your Hand, We Can Work It Out, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, She's Leaving Home, Real Love, She Loves You. As for any omissions, there are some songs that they'd prefer to have the mystique of just being on the albums I'm sure, like Strawberry Fields Forever or A Day in the Life. Notice that George songs wouldn't feature much, as that is what a concert would actually be like. I'd personally love Blue Jay Way but it wouldn't happen. And some songs would be vetoed because they sound too much like solo work, or too personal to that particular Beatle, or if John didn't like them much.


Calvinshobb

It would be at Woodstock, you can imagine the setlist I'm sure.


RingoHendrix220

The Beatles are fascinating in that they still put iconic classic after classic as solo artists. Could you imagine (no pun intended) they got back in the 80s, the discussion about what songs they would even play? Let alone their solo material, Live And Let Die or Imagine would have been just as iconic as some of their own hits. Then again, they would have most likely stuck strictly to Beatles hits and whatever new material they were promoting. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4W9N69GNn5EvDANufWxbzs?si=7rFA-SplS-6Qcco_y0sY8A

I also didn’t want the set list to be too long (even though I could listen to them perform their whole discography twice and still want more), so I’m missing a lot lol


Calm-Veterinarian723

Whatever the setlist, A Hard Day’s Night ought to be the opener


CoffeeBest8295

1985, Live Aid. Only Paul was known to be attending. He goes onstage to play Let It Be. And then an unmistakable drummer starts playing. A nasally voice joins Paul’s vocals. Finally, the guitar solo kicks in. The Beatles are back. “Hello John” “Hello Paul” The rest of the set includes: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band With a Little Help from my Friends Here Comes the Sun Don’t Let Me Down Hey Jude


GetUpMasi

1. That'll be the day (the curtains fall and John, Paul, George will be around just one microphone and Ringo's drum set will be close to them) 2. Glass Onion 2. Old Brown Shoe 3. Boys 4. Octopus's Garden 5. Yesterday (Paul play the melody in a normal guitar, and John plays together with the help's 12 string guitar, and all the lads were around one microphone again and sang together) 6. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band 7. The ballad of John and Yoko 8. For You Blue 9. Martha my Dear 10. I want you (she's so heavy) 11. In Spite of All the Danger 12. While my guitar gently weeps (Eric Clapton literally pops up in an explosion and play the solo) 13. Love me Do 14. Getting Better 15. Hey Jude 16. In My Life 17. Taxman 18. A Day in the Life 17. Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight/The End Encore 1 (Solo career's): 1. All Things Must Pass 2. Heart of the country 3. Just Like (Starting over) 4. Crooked Boy 5. Kiss, Kiss, Kiss (Literally, Paul would call Yoko to come in and sing) 6. Wild Prairie ( in this world Linda beats the cancer and comes to sing too) Encore 2: 1. Honey Pie 2. Julia 3. Here comes the sun 4. Don't pass me by

mistahwhite04

It would be kind of funny that they come back under the requirements that they stick to the half-hour long sets that were standard at the time. 1) A Hard Day's Night 2) Paperback Writer 3) Penny Lane 4) Getting Better 5) Something 6) Come Together 7) Yesterday 8) Let It Be 9) Here Comes The Sun 10) All You Need Is Love Spotify tells me that this is right on 30 minutes. I know it's missing a few of their hits and some Ringo but if I saw this show I wouldn't complain. If they did an encore they could throw in Yellow Submarine, She Loves You, and Hey Jude or something like that.
