The Beatles later work is orchastra orientated so live shows would be theatre rather then live gigs. I mean, they couldn't perform songs from pepper at the Marquee and get everyone up for the gig. That is why people prefer live stones.
The stones did he acid phase but returned to rock quickly.
Bands that do good live gigs always keep going but bands that do studio work tend to either stop touring or tour their other work that is better live. The Beatles wouldn't tour with "love me do" anymore so they just quit.
The stones were a live band like oasis who emulate them now.
Bull****. The Beatles stopped touring because they got jaded with the thousands of screaming teenagers outside their hotel every night, and decided they wanted to make music for themselves. They started out as a Rock n' Roll band, and only changed when Brian Epstein started managing them. To everyone who calls the Beatles simply 'pop' or whatever, listen to Helter Skelter, A Day In The Life etc.
