The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years: 7 songs that would have been incredible live. The later songs from the Fab Four that would've been most effective on stage
Documentary Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years may not offer much new information for seasoned Beatles fans but it hammers home how - despite their seemingly never-ending touring schedule - they somehow kept up such a high standard when it came to songwriting.
Of course, this hectic period eventually took its toll on the quartet with John, Paul, George and Ringo later deciding to stay in the studio with producer George Martin. This meant the albums that followed - including Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road - all featured tracks that were never performed live.
Below are the seven songs we believe have worked extremely well live (N.B. - we haven't included those that have been performed live by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison or Starr at any stage of their solo careers).
