First off, hi. I’m glad to join the most popular forum of the greatest band of all time.
I am autistic, and imagining fanmade tours of my favorite musicians is an obsession of mine. And the next one I want to make is for the Beatles. Imagining what a big reunion tour would have looked like. I would want it to be like Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, playing the most popular songs from each album. But I have a hard time narrowing them down, since the Beatles have so many popular and acclaimed songs to choose from, which also includes their individual solo records.
So I want to ask other fans for their help. I have picked the eras, and to help out, I’ll link this Reddit post that puts each of the non-album singles into an album (https://www.reddit.com/r/beatl…..?rdt=46901)
Here are the eras I want to include:
With the Beatles
A Hard Day’s Night
Help !
Sgt. Pepper ’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
The White Album
Solo
*I consider any of the original songs from Yellow Submarine to fit into the Magical Mystery Tour era.
So what are the most popular and impactful songs from each era that should go into a concert tour like this?

Offline Well, if we would pick about 3 songs for each album, plus some iconic singles and early recordings, I think the setlist should go like this (it’s quite big, filled in with 60 songs, but I guess it’s a nice one; if you think it’s far too big, you could at least think about it as the essencial Beatles list). I’m not really considering if the song is performable on stage or not (also because with today’s technology we can reproduce almost everything on stage). Sgt. Pepper got 4 songs instead of 3 because…well, it’s Sgt Pepper . Magical Mystery Tour has also got more songs since it’s mixed with the Yellow Submarine soundtrack. And the White Album has also got more songs because it’s a double-disc-album. I really liked your idea of a Beatles’ Eras Tour, and it would surely be far more better than Taylor Swift’s one. I think it could possibly be the best tour in history. So here’s the list:
1. In Spite Of All The Danger *
2. Hello Little Girl *
3. Some Other Guy*
4. Love Me Do
10. She Loves You **
11. This Boy **
12. I Want To Hold Your Hand **
13. Hard Day’s Night
14. And I Love Her
15. You Can’t do That
16. I’m A Loser
19. I Feel Fine **
20. Help !
21. Ticket To Ride
22. Yesterday
23. Day Tripper **
24. Drive My Car
25. Nowhere Man
26. In My Life
27. Paperback Writer **
28. Rain **
29. Here, There And Everywhere
30. Yellow Submarine
32. Strawberry Fields Forever **
33. Penny Lane **
34. Sgt. Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band
35. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
40. I Am The Walrus
41. Hey Bulldog
44. Revolution **
45. Lady Madonna **
46. Back in the U.S.S.R.
48. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
49. Blackbird
50. Birthday
51. Helter Skelter
52. Come Together
53. Something
55. Let it Be
57. Get Back
58. The Ballad Of John And Yoko **
59. Don’t Let Me Down **
60. Now And Then **
*Early recordings, being “In Spite Of All The Danger ” the first Quarrymen (Beatles precursor) recording and “Hello Little Girl ” being the first Beatles recording (made the for Decca audition). “Some Other Guy” goes in here because it was a song that they used to play a lot in their early days at the Cavern Club and it was performed during the Beatles’s first video recording by Granada TV (even though it is a cover version of Richie Barrett’s song).
**Beatles singles, which can include both A and B sides. “Now And Then ” finishes the list being the last Beatles song/single ever released.
Anyway, if you have any new ideas for it, feel free to share!

Offline I guess this a bit of a lazy answer but I think the work has already largely been done for the red and blue albums. A live performance of all those tracks would be quite the concert.

Well, looking through your perspective, I surely agree with you! The only thing that lacks in the blue and red albums to be a full eras-tour-setlist is the early pre-beatles stuff, you know. Also, I wrote down the list because I just couldn’t resist to write it!
