Something I'd never specifically thought about before, which is a fun little thought, is ... supposing the Beatles had reunited in, say, 1974, or 76, or 78, for a big one-off show, or tour, what would you want them to have played?
Assuming ...
there's no expense spared, but there are still technological limitations
it's a really good music venue, I don't know what the best venue of that era was ... but, you know, everyone can hear. It's in the UK.
they play for about two hours.
they can all still play and sing as well as ever.
I think this is different from Greatest Hits - i think i wouldn't want them to play all my favourites... i'm wondering what would be the ultimate crowd-pleasing Beatles set, drawn from their whole career (I'm going to assume they don't play any solo tracks, though, if they did, let's say we'd get Instant Karma, Live and Let Die, What is Life as a sneaky 10 minute secret set at the end ...)
