What's your ultimate Beatles setlist (30 songs)?

Let's say all four Beatles were alive and reunited for one show that you're attending. They are going to play 30 songs, and you get to pick the exact set and order. What would you choose?

For big fans, this can be way harder than you first expect... 30 seems like a lot until you realize how many you want to hear!

Something tells me Abby Road is your favorite! (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Actually, for me that is the greatest album of all time!

It's pretty hard for me to argue with you on that, so I won't bother!

Oooh, I dunno... No matter how good the solo songs are, I can't help but feel as though it's wasting some opportunities for Beatles tunes. Besides that you have some great choices! Love "Hey Bulldog" and "Dig a Pony."

True, but I chose some solo songs because I thought it'd be cool to see how the Beatles would've played those songs.

...since you didn't specify that they had to be Beatles songs, I actually thought of putting something random like "Stairway to Heaven" on the list.

Ha, that would actually be really funny to see them try to cover Stairway.
