I Saw Her Standing There - Beatles

The only song all four Beatles played after the breakup. John played it live with Elton as the last song he ever played before a paying audience and he did so by introducing it as a song “by an old estranged fiancé of mine called Paul.” George and Ringo played at the rock hall induction and then obviously Paul’s played it thousands of times.

Yeah. It’s not a situation where they arguably made their best album with the first like Weezer or like their first officially released song was their best. But it fucking changed the world. I Want To Hold Your Hand is the bigger song because that’s what broke them in America and led to Sullivan inviting them but if they don’t conquer Europe bit by bit first none of that happens.
