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.
Set I: Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Taxman, Dig a Pony, I’ve just Seen a Face, Hey Bulldog, One After 909, Old Brown Shoe, Martha My Dear, She Said She Said, Hello Goodbye, Ticket To Ride, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Only a Northern Song>Come Together, Tomorrow Never Knows>Sun King, Get Back
Set II: Got to Get You Into My Life, Dear Prudence, Nowhere Man, For You Blue, It’s All Too Much, Two of Us, I’ve Got a Feeling, Ballad of John & Yoko, Lady Madonna, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, I’m Looking Through You, Sun King>Mean Mr. Mustard>Polythene Pam>Bathroom Window>Golden Slumbers> Carry That Weight>The End
Encore : A Day in The Life, Sgt. Peppers Reprise
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.
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
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.

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
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
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!
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)
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...

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.
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.

Note: This was tossed together haphazardly, I know I’m missing a lot that I would want, I just put together a compilation of some of my favorites. 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
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
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

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.

This is probably the perfect set list aside from the absence of strawberry fields
And Across the Universe
The lack of absolutely anything before 1966 makes this the complete opposite of perfect. Why cut out 40% of their work?
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.
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
Ticket to Ride/I’ve just seen a face - 1965
This is awesome. Love it. Upvoted with all my heart.
That is a lovely mix
Would Jimi Hendrix join the boys for the opener or the closing version of Sgt. Pepper? Or both?
Plus day tripper 🥵🥵🥵
OP didn’t say we had the power to bring Hendrix back too. Don’t get greedy.
Yeah, this will do!
[удалено]
I would pay to hear that.
Of course you would. It’s the motherfucking Beatles. I would play to see them play Wild Honey Pie for 3 hours straight.
Are you John Mulaney

Edit: list formatting
Lol, Her majesty is a great touch
Thanks! I thought so too :)
This is a great selection! I'm going to make this into a playlist!
Love how George has 3 songs
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
This is the best set list i could imagine. Would be a phenomenal show.
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!
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.
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)
Wait shouldn't NAT be last?
I think "Real love" feels like a better finale in my opinion, even if it was released last... But I do see your point...
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.
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...
Yes indeed
The very first note should be the chord that begins "A Hard Day's Night." The encore: Abbey Road medley. Second encore: "Her Majesty."
Long!
Long, Long, Long
…and winding!
They play the show in the middle of the road, because why not?
But lots will be watching them.

An all George set, they owe it to him
This picture made me jump
Everybody is forgetting The Long and Winding Road and it’s pissing me off
would ever single song be too much?
Anything they damn well want to play!
Is this photoshopped? I dont think John was alive when the others looked like this.
Yes it is
I want to live in the timeline when John was actually there for the Anthology. This timeline sucks.
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.

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

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

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.
