For our purposes, let's say John and Yoko have a normal relationship where he leaves her daily in order to go to work. John still has the same outspoken interests, though. It's known the members did have a problem with her. We'll remove her from the studio.

Paul is less into himself.

George is still interested in Eastern stuff, but less into drugs.

Ringo plays the drums.

Paul was itching to play live again. He wanted them to play a concert for TV and possibly tour. The others were dead set against it. The roof top was all we got. It was a semi-concert & recording session.

George was fed up but John and Paul recognized the goods with 'Something'. He may have gotten an additional song on an album.

The latter years were essentially 'solo' songs that they brought to the table - more so than in years past when John and Paul might colaborate more on a song.

Billy Preston was brought in by George because he knew that there wouldn't be as much arguing in front of a guest. I think they would've had to do solo work to stretch their wings, then maybe do more Beatles albums. The management situation didn't help matters either with Allen Klein. I think Paul was right not to want Klein cuz he's a sleazy fricker (he screwed the Stones out of all their recorded work and songs from '62-'70) but having his father-in-law Eastman be manager was not the right choice either.

I think the right thing would've been to wait a couple years and make another Beatles album.
