The Beatles Reunion

It was just a matter of time. It would have happened. If John hadn't been killed. If George hadn't died. Maybe at Live Aid. Maybe at Live 8. Maybe for something like the Anthology series. But it would have happened. The Beatles would have gotten back together.

I have spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about what it would have been like. I have reached some conclusions. They would have gotten haircuts. They would have played mostly songs from their later albums. They would have been brilliant.

Here's the setlist they would have performed if it was up to me:

1. Got to Get You Into My Life
