1. A Day in the Life 2. Strawberry Fields Forever 3. Here, There and Everywhere 4. I Want To Hold Your Hand 5. I'm Only Sleeping 6. Dear Prudence 7. Here Comes the Sun 8. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 9. Don't Let Me Down 10. Nowhere Man
This is entirely based on personal preference/emotional resonance with me, sometimes based on life experiences and such, so don't @ me if some of it seems basic or wack.
1. Hey Jude (seeing Sir Paul do this live is my top concert bucket list item and I'm really worried, given his age, that the window is shrinking rapidly)
I'm curious about this - from some awareness of your posts you seem to have a healthy and substantial oeuvre from a concert attendance perspective. Did you just never get around to seeing Macca? I feel like he plays Hey Jude everytime so I'm guessing that can't be it. I'm certainly not shaming your bucket list, but just genuinely curious as he seems to be the most obvious bucket list guy and hasn't been super rare. Like a table stakes check the box for concert tourism. Feels like there's a story here.

It’s not super-interesting story, but I guess it is one. While I’ve always enjoyed live music, I didn’t get nuts about it until around 2012., 2013 - prior to that, I was heavily involved in theater in NYC (“heavily” meaning I’d often be in performance in a show while rehearsing another one, doing sound design for a third, and prepping to fight choreograph a fourth) and playing very actively in two bands. I always felt like, if I wasn’t going that hard, I was shortchanging my artistic ambitions. I did see some shows, but it was never a priority.
Then, that part of my life started to decline a bit, and I met my wife, who loved going to shows, and I started seeing a lot more live stuff…but it was still very focused on indie and smaller-scale shows. I didn’t go to my first music festival until 2014, and didn’t travel for one until 2019 (money was also usually not abundant, which was a factor).
AND THEN, it wasn’t until, like, 2018 that I saw a video of the “Hey Jude” from Bonnaroo 2013 and I realized how fucking epic that sing-along was, and that’s when the FOMO began in earnest.
I missed out in 2022 - I had already bought Bonnaroo tickets and planned my travels by the time McCartney’s show at Giants Stadium for the same weekend was announced. My wife ended up going, and she sent me videos of “Hey Jude” to rub it in that she was seeing that while I was dying of heat exhaustion and watching Andy Frasco, instead.
Anyway, that’s a really long way of saying it was a combination of the timing of my live music obsession and any opportunity to make the whole thing manifest.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

Well I certainly wish you well on your quest. That's a heavy burden to carry for any concert bucket list. It seems like he just keeps chugging along, but definitely something to prioritize.
1. In My Life - sing this to my 3 year-old as a lullaby every night 2. Something 3. Yesterday 4. Golden Slumbers Medley (cheating, whatever) 5. Hey Jude 6. A Day In The Life 7. Happiness Is A Warm Gun 8. The Fool on the Hill 9. Across the Universe 10. Don’t Let Me Down
Probably the hardest one I’ve ever done once I get past the first 4-5. All depends on how I’m feeling when I make the list. There’s probably 20 other songs that can fill the last few spots on the list on the right day.

This is yet another impossible task.
1. Across The Universe (This was the only song that would get my now-12-year-old to stop screaming in the car when she was a baby. For my now-8-year-old, this honor went to "Sedona" by Houndmouth.) 2. A Day in the Life 3. Abbey Road Medley (whatever the judges determine this to be) 4. All You Need is Love 5. In My Life 6. Revolution 7. Helter Skelter 8. Let It Be 9. And Your Bird Can Sing 10. Something

Hey Jude Here Comes the Sun Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds Twist and Shout Yesterday Come Together Eleanor Rigby While My Guitar Gently Weeps Help! Blackbird
Ima have to put in some work tomorrow and look back. There are anthems I might not include. Dear Prudence, Rocky Raccoon, Back in the USSR, Let It Be will find their ways in. Maybe some of the crazy Paul is dead shit Rev9 etc. idk. Only thing I’m sure of is that nothing before Revolver will be on my Top 10. I’m not reading anyone else’s until I come up with mine.

Beatles (an almost impossible task)
1. A Day in the Life 2. I am the Walrus 3. The Long One (a/k/a Abbey Road Medley) 4. Tomorrow Never Knows 5. Don't Let Me Down 6. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 7. Something 8. In My Life 9. I'll Follow the Sun 10. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
What is the consensus on Abbey Road, side 2? Is the Abbey Road Medley (“You Never Give Me You Money” to “The End”) a song? Is only “Golden Slumbers” to “The End” a song? Are they all separate songs?
It's "You Never Give Me Your Money" to "The End". All other answers are incorrect.
my Beatles top 3 never changes. Everything after that is dependent on day/mood.
They're all great which just shows how much shit they have even when I discount everything pre-Revolver. A Day in the Life is kind of like Hey Jude to me. I just heard it too many times as a kid and since. It's still a top song, but I have Hotel California'd, Freebird'd and Stairway to Heaven'd it.
