IF the Beatles were still with us...

[2 of 3]

..and they decided to do a tour....how do you think they would handle it?

1. Would they not even consider it without new material/album to promote?

2. Would they go out there alone, just the 4 of them? Or would there be back up singers and players...Billy Preston, etc etc?

3. Would they do solo material?

4. Would they divide the songs equally?

  My guess is:

No tour, but 4 consecutive nights in New York, London, L.A., Sydney, Rome and Tokyo - all available for live HBO/Theater broadcast - special purchase

3 George songs for every 1 Ringo and 5  John and 5 Paul songs.

Totally tied to a favorite charity or cause that would be backed by a double-sided single by - The Beatles.

The concert would feature 1/2 Beatles, the rest solo songs of their choice.

Back-up musicians? yes.  Back-up singers?  NO WAY!

42 songs! Paul/Beatles= 15, John/Beatles=15, George/Beatles=9 and Ringo/Beatles=3

All concerts contain at least 50% different songs, night to night.   All available in download, then CD, DVD.

All tour seperately later in the year.

World Peace breaks out.

Nice thoughts.

World Peace breaks out.

Wouldn't that be nice for a change. ....though, they could break out the old song every evening of the tour couldn't they?

1. Would they not even consider it without new material/album to promote?  I don't think they would do new material, they have too much material as it is and too many fights would break out over it.

2. Would they go out there alone, just the 4 of them? Or would there be back up singers and players...Billy Preston, etc etc?  Paul would definitely not want anyone else and would get his way, I think, I doubt they would have additional people.

3. Would they do solo material?  I don't think so, again, they would have too much material already.

4. Would they divide the songs equally?  Harrison would not have agreed unless he got the same amount of songs that Paul and John got.  Of this, I'm pretty sure- we saw the demands he made with Anthology- I can't imagine him agreeing to any type of touring and getting less than the other two- this was always a stickler for him.  Ringo on the other hand would not care and he probably would only want to sing a few songs, anyway.
