If you were in a neighborhood bar in an imaginary world where no one had ever heard the Beatles, and that night's band was the Beatles playing their 12 best songs, would you look up from your beer and

12 songs from their later years that would still sound good without studio trickery:

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey
Two of Us
Here Comes the Sun
She Said She Said
You Never Give Me Your Money
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Long Long Long
Martha My Dear
Hey Bulldog
Rain
Because
Strawberry Fields Forever (lots of the early acoustic version still sound good)

"i want to hold your hand" still sounds like the world splitting open

I bet IATW would be kinda cool live if it was all loud and heavy, a West Coast psych thing. Not sure you'd come away thinking it was a devastating classic on first listen, but I think it'd fly. I think most of the later stuff would all be great though - the studio work is wild and mindblowing but the songwriting is awesome and there are probably some things that get a little too precise or clean-sounding on record.

My ears might prick up if they played Revolution 9 tbf.
