I doubt it.
It seems as if John was really set in his ways and wanted to just continue with his solo career and being a family man

I remember Lorne Michaels on Saturday Night Live offering each member a check for a certain amount of money if they all came to NBC Studios in New York to reunite. Of course it didn't happen, but John and Paul were watching the night Lorne made the offer and were tempted to stop by.

Probably for some benefit/charity concert.

Probably for some benefit/charity concert. I think at least two or maybe even three of them did before Lennon died. Hmmm... That is an interesting thought for all four. |

Ringo played on John's Plastic Ono Band and Paul's Tug of War, Pipes of Peace, Flaming Pie; George's All things must pass, Living in the material world, Dark Horse, Somewhere in England, Cloud Nine
George played on John's Imagine; Ringo's 'Ringo', Stop and smell the roses, Vertical Man
Paul played on Ringo's 'Ringo', Stop and smell the roses, Y Not, Vertical Man, Give more love
John played on Ringo's Goodnight Vienna, Ringo's Rotogravure
John, George and Ringo were on decent terms during the 70's, while Ringo was the only one to get along with Paul ...I think things might have thawed around the beginning of the 90's for all four and they might have done something..Three of them did get together for the Anthology stuff in 1995..

John and Paul had made up years before he died. |

They never wanted to let the genie back out of the bottle, I think. Starr and McCartney would have in an instant. But I think Lennon and Harrison realized that it would never end with just one concert. They would play the gig, it would be great and everyone would want another. And another. Then a live album. Then throw sever kajillion bucks for "just one album of new stuff". Next thing you know, the Beatles boots are back on.
I'm glad they never got back together. All four produced great stuff. And the band never had the decline phase. I'm the biggest Stones fan but, face it, they haven't put out anything really good in forever. Many bands fade away (see, Neil Young was right!), the Who are another example.

I couldn't agree more. Some people want these bands to keep going forever because they don't want to accept that the good times will end. The Beatles were great in their time, but after several years have passed, times change. It's rare that a band can recapture the magic that was once felt. Then we see the decline phase you mentioned. I'd rather remember them when they were at the top of their game.
I think the Beatles knew their time as a band was over. They had a very good run and they wanted to explore new horizons.

Love is Strong and Anybody Seen My Baby come to mind. |
