@JimDeYoung1 You know... they wouldn't even need 64 tracks or today's computer recording equipment.. just a decent mixing board and a 16 track recorder and some good vocal mics and mics for the amps and drums.. decent sound reinforcement equipment and this show could have been released as an album.. and of course a few more Rubber Soul and Revolver tracks.. imagine them tackling "And Your Bird Can Sing"
@curzonator There was good equipment then..it's just that the practice of a rock band owning and trucking around tons of musical quality P.A., onstage monitor speakers, fully mic'ed up instruments and Front-Of-House mixing boards OR sports stadiums maintaining theater quality speakers instead of the general public address systems for announcing sports scores had not developed yet. Ten years later McCartney had 6 tractor trailers of equipment for the WOA tour..
Just the most amazing players - fearless and making it up as they go. Their only model was Elvis. This song shows the very beginnings of their (and our) journey away from 3 minute songs about "the girl"....
@162Aceman It's unbelievable that the practice of good sound reinforcement and live concert setup was at the level it was when the Beatles were touring. It was usually them and Mal and one or two other people handling their bags and their equipment.. maybe a tech from Vox and that's it. It wouldn't be until the Kinks, involving theatrical people, and bands like the Who, Pink Floyd or Grateful Dead began to assemble better sound systems otherwise they were at the mercy of the hall or stadium
@mattbatben10 considering how seriously McCartney takes these things you can imagine what he was thinking. And the Budokan shows are considered among the best presented shows of the Beatles career.. though I think the Palais De Sports show in 1965 is amazing and the German shows from June 1966 are good performances under more primitive conditions.
@zorgen123 it's unbelievable... considering how unmotivated they were by this point in their career to give live performance under these circumstances.. they are actually pretty good! you have to shake your head to think that by 1966 Japan's electronics companies were poised to begin their dominance of this field yet SOMEONE couldn't tighten the hinge on the mic stand??? What might have been if JVC or Panasonic/Ramsa had provided proper sound reinforcement for the hall!
@zorgen123 Also.. lack of rehearsal, interest, and enthusiasm on the Beatles part. The past three years had exhausted them and made them really sour on the whole touring experience. The 1966 began with death threats in Japan from Japanese upset about the sacred Budokan being defiled by pop music and a firestorm over John's Jesus comments stirred up in America. THEN the Phillipines..later they'd stop in Bombay on their way home.. wish they'd played a show or two there!
They loved playing in Japan, as the fans were quiet while they played. So they could hear themselves.
Part of the Japanese (super polite) culture. They consider it disrespectful to make noise while someone is performing for you. They think you should, out of respect, be quiet.
They only scream at concerts, at the end of the songs
what the beatles have on stage to play to thousands is what most bar bands have today,but we have the use of moniters now to hear what you are playing it is unbelievable that they were that tight with no moniters.
the equipment they have on stage in front of thousands is about what the average bar band now has now except now days we have moniters to hear ourselves, with no moniters they were great.
Wow, The Beatles must have been pissed after that performance, especially Paul. Notice the way Paul yanked the mic earlier in the song. Then at the end, it seemed like he said, "To hell with it", and bowed before the song ended. I am a Beatles fan, but I must admit, that wasn't their best at that moment. However, they tried to kick ass with that song.
The Beatles Live, 60 to 65, were fantastic, the energy has never been equaled, anywhere. In 1966, the songs were getting more complicated, overdubbing, effects, etc. Remember, there were NO monitor speakers back then!! Could you imagine not hearing the drums, much less knowing if you were in key, playing in front of thousands? The very fact that Paperback writer and later on, Nowhere man, where in tune, is still amazing to me. Thats PRO.
Don't be too hard on The Beatles for the live shows that sounded like crud. One must keep in mind several facts: 1, The sound equipment of the 60's vs the screaming they were facing. 2. They had next to zero time for practicing. The time they had off stage was spent recording and writing new songs. 3. Towards the end of their live performance days, they pretty much no longer cared.
"They used us as an excuse to go mad and then blamed it on us. " George Harrison.
Terrible sound, but it's still The Beatles! That 45rpm just may be my favorite, "Rain" & "Paperback Writer", but I also played the hell out of my "Help! / I'm Down" 45rpm...
@Zangoose69 what's unbelievable is that Paul is fighting a poorly set up microphone in JAPAN of all places. Mind you.. the ONLY country to record and maintain several color recordings of the Beatles live in concert at the peak of their success.. and home of JVC, Panasonic, and SONY of all places!!!
Who the fuck cares about how they performed their more and more complex songs to some japanese at this stage where local people even protested them being there. This was only months before confining themselves completely in studio and changing the history of music even more.
This video is proof that they sucked when playing live by that point. I think their decision to stop touring was a good one. I mostly blame the audience though. They couldn't hear themselves playing anymore.
@ChocolateHoneycomb You do realize they couldn't hear themselves, plug yours ears so you can't hear and record yourself singing. See how it sounds after.
This wasn't too hard for them to do live. They'd have pissed over this in '63 or '64. They just couldn't give a toss about playing live at this point. You can't even say they were knackered because they'd had the first quarter of '66 off which was a luxury for them.They were a fabulous live band (Check out Sweden in 1963 or the NME 1964 concerts for prove...and the roof gig of course!)
@Zimnyific The reason why they might not have sounded great in concert is because they did not have the audio equipment of today .Amplifiers Mixing boards etc. They often used the P.A. system for whatever building they were in. That and the fact that they themselves have said they could barely hear themselves play due to all the screaming.

From what I understand, early on in Japan the Beatles mistook the lack of screaming for disapproval.I love the way Paul had to keep fiddling with the microphone.I know the Budokan concerts were actually professionally recorded, with the intent to release as an album...it's just that the actual performances didn't really sound that great, were a bit off-key, so they decided not to release them...except as an unofficial bootleg. I have a CD of the show, "Five Days in a Judo Arena".Good stuff.
I'm not sure but I think this was Budokan. The Beatles were used to playing to screaming crowds that basically made it impossible to hear what they were playing most of the time, especially since the feedback speakers that would have allowed them to didn't exist back then...consequently they weren't used to having to play very well live, because it didn't make much difference...in Japan, audiences were relatively quiet and actually paid attention to the music--must have been shocking.
If you notice, they listen most intently but not noisely in Japan as they did in other countries, I bet the Beatles were surprised that they could actually hear themselves perform.
To learn how to hear the hidden message in Beatles songs, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles. This could change the world. Thumbs up this comment, copy and paste it on other songs.

@rriverstone1 That's about right. If the Beatles had played the auditorium of the sorry little rural middle school I attended, this is what it would have sounded like. Two "Mr. Microphones" hooked up to a Burger King drive-thru speaker.
@rriverstone1 Even better: not audio engineered at all. The Beatles arrived on stage, tuned their instruments, plugged them directly into the amps, and played, haha!
@Canaveral305 You know that saying about a person representing themselves in court having a fool for a lawyer? Well, a Beatle micing himself in a concert has a fool for a sound engineer.
@rriverstone1 Pretty much, yeah, but that's how things were in the 60's. The Beatles were pretty much the first band that needed to play for such great audience, so it's a problem they didn't know existed.
@Canaveral305 I've heard the noise of the crowds is a major factor in why the Beatles stopped performing: nobody could hear the music, including the Beatles, who, no matter how much they jacked the gain on their own monitors, couldn't hear each OTHER to perform! That's frickin rude, dude. Did you come to scream, or listen?
@rriverstone1 I know, that's a problem The Beatles had. As good as (in my opinion) their music is, their early success was still hugely based on their image. And a success based on the image leads to people going to concerts to see you, and not to hear you. I guess they got tired of that, also.
Anyway, when I hear what they recorded after they stopped touring, I'm not really complaining about the decision, haha!
@Canaveral305 If you search for "Paul Ingles" you will find some radio documentaries about Beatles' albums and history. Also, Paul has a radio show called "Peace Talks." He's done several shows on Lennon & Ono. In fact, he got a rare, cuz she doesn't give them, interview with Ono recently. He goes through albums song-by-song, with interview subjects explaining lyrics, musical influences, biographical influences and historical stories of that song's production. I transcribed most of these docus.
@rriverstone1 No thanks, i'll pass. Also, the "FAIL!" comes when you critique technology from...wait, let me spell it out for you...F-O-R-T-Y-F-I-V-E years ago, and think it makes you sound clever. Who cares what it sounds like? It's old rare footage. It's not going have the same good quality sound as your Nickelback cd's do..

Our troll finds high-functioning users of its own language annoying because it can't understand them and seeks to take it out on the next guy down the perceived social ladder from it. For it, there is only the dubious satisfaction of attempting totalitarian domination via YouTube posts; pointless, at best
As the years went on,'65 and '66, the songs got harder to play and sing Live. But they could still pull it off, even without monitors. I would've loved to see them live, even on a bad night.They did seem to have some sort of magical aura about them that put the people under some kind of spell.
were to come to NYC and host a huge concert over Ground Zero. Obviously, a lot of people would be very upset. Its wa the same in Japan at the Budokan.) Not everybody was against it, of course (hence, the screaming and cheering from the audience).
It wasn't because John said he was"bigger than Jesus" (really he didn't, the news tried to blow it out of context: but even still it wouldn't matter since most of the Japanese are buddhist or shintoist anyway), it was because the Budokan was a sacred place to some of the people, and it was a huge shock to the Japanese that some huge band called the Beatles wanted to play their loud western music in one of their most holy places (In comparison, it would be like if some foreign band
Well, since people want to agrue about why the performance was good or bad i think i should clear somethings up. As many of you know, this performance was held at the Budokan in Japan. What alot of people don't know is what in the hell the Budokan was/is. The Budokan was a building that housed important martial arts matches and other things in Japanese tradition. Because of this, the Japanese saw the Budokan as almost a sacred place. That's why the Japanese were shocked.
@MyDanelectro Listen to them live somewhere else dumbass, the equipment sucked in the stadium, especially since most people of Japan did not want them to come after John Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus, so why would they bother getting good equipment for them when the kkk threatened to come kill them if they showed up for the concert and most people of Japan did not want them there. Get your facts straight
@CoIeStones What does using good equipment and the KKK have to do with there sound not being as clean as usual. most likely they were tired but I doubt they intentionally got crappy amps and mics plus if the japanese didnt want them there why did all those people show up to the concert and cheer after every song?
@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep you are so right. they are using the same stuff like they always do like their vox super beatle amp, their casinos, a hoffner bass and ludwig drums. all nice stuff
@MyDanelectro agreed, but i wouldn't say the beatles sucked. but i would say that this is one of the beatles worst performances of playing paperback writer.
@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep The KKK scared most people away from the arena, and its true that they did not want them there, just because the government and religious people there did not want them to come doesnt mean that everybody would not show up, the people cheering were obviously fans or non religious or superficious people. Watch the documentary...
they werent terrible live but i dunno, if you watch bob dylan live in the same year with the electric, it amazes me, i just feel a bit meh at this, maybe its cos they didnt do their amazing songs live
@starcraft108 they didnt sound to good because that was the first time in like a year anyone actually heard them at a concert, so they didnt really prepare ya digg? they were expecting no one to b able to hear them.
"Not a great band, live": This was before monitors and all the other technical advances which came later. These guys invented live R & R as we know it today.
I bet the people who were suppose to check the mica were didn't like the Beatles and try to ruin their performance evilly as possible...or the mic threw a fit and decided to take it out on paul.!
Just when i thought Japan had a good Technology.

From what I understand, early on in Japan the Beatles mistook the lack of screaming for disapproval.I love the way Paul had to keep fiddling with the microphone.I know the Budokan concerts were actually professionally recorded, with the intent to release as an album...it's just that the actual performances didn't really sound that great, were a bit off-key, so they decided not to release them...except as an unofficial bootleg. I have a CD of the show, "Five Days in a Judo Arena".Good stuff.

I'm not sure but I think this was Budokan. The Beatles were used to playing to screaming crowds that basically made it impossible to hear what they were playing most of the time, especially since the feedback speakers that would have allowed them to didn't exist back then...consequently they weren't used to having to play very well live, because it didn't make much difference...in Japan, audiences were relatively quiet and actually paid attention to the music--must have been shocking.

If you notice, they listen most intently but not noisely in Japan as they did in other countries, I bet the Beatles were surprised that they could actually hear themselves perform.

@rriverstone1 That's about right. If the Beatles had played the auditorium of the sorry little rural middle school I attended, this is what it would have sounded like. Two "Mr. Microphones" hooked up to a Burger King drive-thru speaker.

@Canaveral305 You know that saying about a person representing themselves in court having a fool for a lawyer? Well, a Beatle micing himself in a concert has a fool for a sound engineer.
rriverstone1 6 months ago
@rriverstone1 Pretty much, yeah, but that's how things were in the 60's. The Beatles were pretty much the first band that needed to play for such great audience, so it's a problem they didn't know existed.
Canaveral305 6 months ago
@Canaveral305 I've heard the noise of the crowds is a major factor in why the Beatles stopped performing: nobody could hear the music, including the Beatles, who, no matter how much they jacked the gain on their own monitors, couldn't hear each OTHER to perform! That's frickin rude, dude. Did you come to scream, or listen?
rriverstone1 6 months ago
@rriverstone1 I know, that's a problem The Beatles had. As good as (in my opinion) their music is, their early success was still hugely based on their image. And a success based on the image leads to people going to concerts to see you, and not to hear you. I guess they got tired of that, also.
Anyway, when I hear what they recorded after they stopped touring, I'm not really complaining about the decision, haha!
Canaveral305 5 months ago
@Canaveral305 If you search for "Paul Ingles" you will find some radio documentaries about Beatles' albums and history. Also, Paul has a radio show called "Peace Talks." He's done several shows on Lennon & Ono. In fact, he got a rare, cuz she doesn't give them, interview with Ono recently. He goes through albums song-by-song, with interview subjects explaining lyrics, musical influences, biographical influences and historical stories of that song's production. I transcribed most of these docus.

Non-xenophobes may find other languages annoying because they can't understand them and want to. For them, there is this thing called Google Translate
Our troll finds high-functioning users of its own language annoying because it can't understand them and seeks to take it out on the next guy down the perceived social ladder from it.

As the years went on,'65 and '66, the songs got harder to play and sing Live. But they could still pull it off, even without monitors. I would've loved to see them live, even on a bad night.They did seem to have some sort of magical aura about them that put the people under some kind of spell.

were to come to NYC and host a huge concert over Ground Zero. Obviously, a lot of people would be very upset. Its wa the same in Japan at the Budokan.) Not everybody was against it, of course (hence, the screaming and cheering from the audience).
frechieguy 7 months ago
It wasn't because John said he was"bigger than Jesus" (really he didn't, the news tried to blow it out of context: but even still it wouldn't matter since most of the Japanese are buddhist or shintoist anyway), it was because the Budokan was a sacred place to some of the people, and it was a huge shock to the Japanese that some huge band called the Beatles wanted to play their loud western music in one of their most holy places (In comparison, it would be like if some foreign band
frechieguy 7 months ago
Well, since people want to agrue about why the performance was good or bad i think i should clear somethings up. As many of you know, this performance was held at the Budokan in Japan. What alot of people don't know is what in the hell the Budokan was/is. The Budokan was a building that housed important martial arts matches and other things in Japanese tradition. Because of this, the Japanese saw the Budokan as almost a sacred place. That's why the Japanese were shocked.

MyDanelectro 8 months ago
@MyDanelectro Listen to them live somewhere else dumbass, the equipment sucked in the stadium, especially since most people of Japan did not want them to come after John Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus, so why would they bother getting good equipment for them when the kkk threatened to come kill them if they showed up for the concert and most people of Japan did not want them there. Get your facts straight
CoIeStones 8 months ago
@CoIeStones What does using good equipment and the KKK have to do with there sound not being as clean as usual. most likely they were tired but I doubt they intentionally got crappy amps and mics plus if the japanese didnt want them there why did all those people show up to the concert and cheer after every song?
