Until the 1990s, Paul performed few Beatles songs. John never toured during his solo career, he did a show here and there. I think the last time he went on stage was at an Elton John concert where he sang Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. So yeah, John probably would perform Beatles songs, maybe not the entire show though. John didn't have many Top 10 solo hits in the 1970s, I think Ringo has more or around the same. George rarely toured, once in the early 1970s (where he strained his voice and was horse) and then in Japan in the 1990s. He also performed a few Beatles songs. As a hitmaker, Paul had the most successful career.

Of course John would be singing old Beatles tunes. He co-wrote them, so why would he not be singing them? Seems like some people just want to dog Paul because he's alive and well and still putting on great shows. neutral

Well, neither Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel perform Genesis songs during solo tours, but Steve Hackett does. So although I think John would perform Beatles songs, just because someone writes songs for a group, doesn't necessarily mean they will do them on a solo concert.

I remember fantasizing a 3-hour John Lennon set list, around the time I saw McCartney in 2009, a mix of Beatles and solo songs. As wonderful as the Paul show was, it did make me terar up realizing the opportunity that had been lost.

I have seen Yoko live, and she doesn;t do any Beatles songs.
