Beatles Songs that have never been performed live together or solo | Page 3 | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

I seem to find the idea of this forum so interesting because it’s always so incredible to see members from this historic band bring out a song from their dusty shelves and onto a live stage.  Following Paul’s addition of ‘Another Girl ‘ sparks interest to see him do a few more new ones.   Paul, if you ever read this, please consider…

Several songs that I would really like to see McCartney perform with his great band would be:

-‘And Your Bird Can Sing ‘

-‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer ‘

-‘Rocky Racoon’

-‘Sun King ‘/’Mean Mr. Mustard/”Polytheme Pam’…

-‘Why Don’t We Do It in the Road’

-‘When I’m Sixty Four’

Ringo Starr would likely give a nice orchestrated rendition of “Goodnight” and could really take his show in a different direction by giving a psychadelic title-penned performance of “Tomorrow Never Knows .”

I have a lot of respect for Harrison for including his lesser known but historic songs like “Piggies “, “I Want To Tell You ,” and “Old Brown Shoe ” in his Japan tour.  His more acclaimed songs like ‘Here Comes The Sun ,’ ‘Something ‘, and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps ‘ provided many of his solo performances with a lot of excitement.  John Lennon rarely performed Beatles songs, or at all for that matter, but I find his infamous live performance of ‘Come Together ‘ and those several group renditions of the hard rock/blues number ‘Yer Blues ‘ to be great footage of rock and roll history.  Although I would have liked to seen some footage of John Lennon rocking a crowd with numbers like “I want you (She’s So Heavy),” “Happiness Is A Warm Gun ,” and “I Am The Walrus ,” I had always admired his protest rock stages and willingness to give himself a different reputation without manifesting in his past success.
