The Beatles: Rock Band near-full setlist revealed

September cover story of Game Informer magazine counts off all but one of the 45 on-disc songs for Harmonix's upcoming rhythm game.

MTV Games and Harmonix are primed to release The Beatles: Rock Band for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii on September 9, and the companies have slowly been doling out the game's 45-song set list. With 25 tracks already revealed, GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine today revealed all but one of the final 20 tracks as part of its September issue.

The new songs revealed as part of the magazine's feature span the Beatles illustrious decade-long run. Particularly noteworthy additions include "A Hard Day's Night" off the 1964 album of the same title; "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," off the band's 1967 Sgt. Peppers album; "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," from 1967's White Album; and "Come Together," off the Abbey Road record.

Harmonix intends to release additional Beatles tracks as downloadable content. Upon the game's release, Xbox 360 owners will be able to purchase "All You Need Is Love," with proceeds going to the Doctors Without Borders charity. Additionally, the classic albums Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band will be released in their entirety as downloadable content across all platforms.

    "Near-full" Heh.. better put some more songs on there. Just seems like it's missing a lot of great songs.

    @NarutoFan30: The original acoustic version of "Revolution" (known as "Revolution 1") was on the White Album, but the electric version that is included in the game was released as a separate single after the fact.

    To those doubting the sales potential of this game: You just don't get it do you? This is The Beatles! Have you taken a look at how many albums/singles they have sold? Their music is also not available for download in any other (legal) format. This will do quite well. The evolution of the Beatles actually provides a nice template for a game, with their early material being more simple and their later works becoming increasingly complex.

    The biggest problem with making a Beatles game is well reflected here in the comments. They have so many classic songs that everyone has one or two or 25 that they feel should have made the cut. Happiness Is A Warm Gun is one that would have loved to see in the game (along with the many others mentioned repeatedly by others) but Sgt. Pepper and The White Album are gonna be must owns for me anyway.

    no in my life? i could of sung the whole thing, no need for instruments.

    Joey JoeJoe Jr if you download the DLC you will get a day in the life.......and im sure after the first three dlc albums are a hit they will put up help to download, giving you Help and Yesterday. Plus as far as I can see this game has no instrumentals so Hey Jude has to be the last song! So everyone who is complaining about only 45 songs don't forget about the 3 albums you can download in their entirety.

    it has to be help!

    Who wants to bet the one song they're not mentioning is Hey Jude? That's just my guess.

    I'm so glad "And Your Bird Can Sing" is in it. Probably my favourite Beatles song and it tipped me over the edge of wanting to buy this.

    No "A Day in the Life" = NO purchase. How can you not include the Beatles best song, just cause it has a 70 man orchestra.

  • qwertybob95

    Posted Aug 21, 2009 3:11 am GMT

    Oh yeah and the other thing to everyone, they have annouced that the last song is gonna be either

    1. Hey Jude
    2. Help
    3. Yesterday
    4. Flying

    I personally would like Let It Be, but watcha gonna do....

    This game is gonna sell better than GH:M because The Beatles are one of the most famous bands out there, i bought GH:M because i love the band, but Metallica probably wouldn't be here without The Beatles, they changed music forever, this game isn't supposed to be challenging its meant to be fun. This is going to sell VERY well
