The Beatles in the Philippines - Live in Manila Concert (1966)

[JMLReyesful]

kahit inayawan ng pilipinas ang grupo. THE BEATLES parin yan hanggang ngayon kahit wala na ang 2 legendary parin yang mga yan. at wala ng papantay sa galing at husay ng THE BEATLES...

[StevenTalks1]

At least Imelda was a Beatles fan!

[August8th1969]

@StevenTalks1 That's true. Contrast this with the Johnson Whitehouse. One of LBJ's aides suggested inviting the Beatles to the Whitehouse, and he is reported to have said something along the lines of "those long-haired faggots" aren't coming to the White House. Of course those were different times. In 1974, Jack Ford invited George to the Whitehouse. George accepted the invitation along with his father, Billy Preston, and other members of his entourage (Ravi Shankar might have been there).

Awh poor things xxx

[misscarly12]

I'm pretty sure they're being nice to them filipinos. They're trying to be nice to all the people and their fans. Poor Beatles. Even if you say this was 30 years ago, theywere THE BEATLES. once in a lifetime opportunity and they wasted it.

[TCfoxs]

In an interview, Ringo said he hated the Philippines.

[misscarly12]

@TCfoxs Who wouldn't? They went to that place to give some entertainment and ffilipinos didn't give a fuck about that instead they pushed them away like some kind of an animal.. If I were them I'd be thankful they have picked my place. tsk.

[1216mredchie]

A FAMILY OF MONKEYS MADE US ALL LOOK LIKE MONKEYS !

[Baker13Dozen]

yeah fuck Imelda she destroyed my nation .

Bitch

[juanpablo6toon]

FUCKING IMELDA NAMIERDA

[mihas101]

quite simple really.....fuck imelda

[Suksbonmarow]

They actually did not show up on purpose because Imelda the bitchy first lady wanted them for a gang bang after the meal, but the Beatles really didn't feel like copulating with monkeys. So she set up a mob to kick the Beatles out of the country. Sorry guys, we're good people, but a slut wanted to save face and thereby disgraced the entire country in the process.This incident was forewarned by George to Clapton, who went anyway. Eric felt the same way coz again, the crowd were rowdy idiots. lol

[kva1978]

This wont be forgotten..it left a bad mark to the Philippines which continues to linger up to this day.

[BrynneRed]

Whos to blame? our leader BACK THEN and his bitchy wife.

[orgelnam08]

NOW...all we are saying is

FORGIVE,FORGIVE!

[orgelnam08]

Who's to blame?

It was purely due to: miscommunications,misconceptio­ns,misunderstandings, misrepresentations and some other misses...lol

[orgelnam08]

PEACE,PEACE!

All we are saying...is give PEACE a chance.

That's what they"the BEATLES" were saying....

PEACE thru their music sharings.

They would have given the chance!

[sirHamilton100]

hope what you said is true

[towncarguy04]

THIS HAPPENED 45 YRS. AGO,GET OVER IT.TWO OF THE BEATLES ARE DEAD AND I AM SURE THE TWO OTHERS THAT ARE ALIVE,COULD NOT CARE LESS.

[mongrelhead1]

@towncarguy04 The most sensible thing T've read on ths video.

[mrstevehartman]

@towncarguy04 NOW, that makes sense ??

[xXOneHotLennonXx]

Scary stuff

John's cute

[anonymousmessenger23]

omg im heart broken..

[glidodgers]

"monkees" LOL

[johnnybabes2003]

my wife is filipino and if you call her a monkey in front of me i would put you in a coma

[glidodgers]

@johnnybabes2003 They should've played "Too Much Monkey Business."

[effinecko]

fuck you Imelda Marcos! I hate john lennon for calling filipino monkeys. But I love the beatles. This is case of miscommunication

[TheAcer925]

this is so iconic..only Imelda Marcos can do that to the Beatles who are legend,while Imelda is a world famous icon ..they are just even..haha..

[Mimereader2]

Check out the Pioneer Little Europe prospectus; the Beatles are an important part of White music history. Give respect, receive respect.

[downtowneddie1]

Beatles' music is timeless and universal, that's a fact! I'm 53 and can recall the time and place where I heard every song they have recorded. I don't remember a day not listening to their music. Imelda Marcos and her cronies thinking that they belong to "aristocracy" is bullshit. I'd say to the Philippine leaders...Fix your god damn toilets and add running water while your're at it and maybe you'll get respect!

[makatamusika]

Fuck you beatles. A bunch of idiot pricks pretending Paul is alive. Glad that each of you are miserable now. Hahahahaha! :D

[cameron68ify]

@makatamusika no, fuck you.

[chillerized]

@makatamusika Are you fucking kidding yourself or what.

[spikesinn]

@makatamusika stupid asshole



[allthegreat17]

Filipinos are indeed Monkeys. They claim they know democracy with People Power. But after 25 years, Philippines is but a country of Garbage-eating people. And there are TRASH EVERYWHERE. On the streets, sidewalks, alleys, rivers, churches, airports. And when typhoon comes, they get flooded. And all they would do is just pray. Pray here, pray there, litter here, litter there, piss here, piss there. If I were Jeebus, it go down heaven and smack them in their heads. MONKEYS!

[spikesinn]

@allthegreat17 what a goddamn fucking racist, you speak like that cuz no one knows you, if i get my hands on you, im gonna strangle you till all of what's left of your humanity disappears. Faggot.

[pokelover95078]

@allthegreat17 What the plum is wrong with you! You never even know a filipino you don't know their true traits? Glob you're so gay don't tell filipinos are bad even if you never been to the philippines RACIST Go die in hell >:)

[spikezkid022]

@allthegreat17 Fuck u....... u ignorant fool

[spartafxrs5]

"...funny looking fellas.." =))))))

[7starjazz]

Though john called people like me a monkey, I still love him. I dont blame him i mean those people treated him badly I would have called them monkeys too!

[asc1217]

WE ARE black MOnkeys and John Lenon is a white monkey>>> How dare you john... anyway, your dead meat now... dont forget that your wife Yoko is asian women like us... " MONKEYS.."

[tebanas1]

I heard Imelda was throwing her shoes at the Beatles when they tried to board the plane out of that swamp. Must have cost the Phillipino taxpayers a fortune!!!

[jamesnoahearvin32]

imelda sucks

[MrPeacemaker61]

when i read the detail of the news, it was not the beatle who snubbed imelda but Brian Epstein for not giving a though on the invitation request. they blamed Brian later on after the fiasco.

One thing the local marketing mangr by the name Espina didn't elaborate much to Brian the importance of imelda's request.

so it certain the Beatles didn't know anything what's gonna happen to them since the turn down issue.

[hurricanefilms17]

Hi

does anyone have any information about where this originates from? we are currently working on a documentary for a museum piece on The Beatles and are looking to acquire the rights and information about this clip. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Al from Hurricane Films.

[kittenjuliet]

uy nangindian daw sila ky imelda

[kimberlyestoque13]

I'm from the Philippines and I feel so sad that my favorite band doesn't like my country :(

I still love them though.

[samusic160]

@kimberlyestoque13 well if you treat them like that then you can't really blame them for not liking your country to be fair. I'm from England so i'm probably biased towards the beatles side of these things that happen to them :).

[ferrero8]

@samusic160 i'm a filipino and i totally agree with you man!!anyone treated so bad in other place outside their territory will most probably react the same.can't blame them.what really pissed them is the person that would have give them a very high security for visiting the country,is the one kicked their asses.what a shame.totally insane power playing retard!!tsk tsk tsk...

[StevenTalks1]

@kimberlyestoque13 Your favorite band doesn't like your country? Hahahaha!

The Beatles have broken up 25 years ago, my dear.

[kimberlyestoque13]

@StevenTalks1 25 years ago? They broke up 45 years ago. Nice one.

[MrJheman]

@22erickS if you listen carefully john says "we were pushed around by some monkeys" ... now thats bullshit! john lennon is a mofo racist

[StevenTalks1]

@MrJheman You are a tang inang pilipeno, and your mother is a housemaid! I'll bet she likes foreign penis.

[southd08]

@aryowailangitoyo97 - Shame on YOU!!! F*ck YOU!! BULL SHIT!!!! Before you insult my country.. Spell it first CORRECTLY!!!! STUPID!!!!

[StevenTalks1]

@southd08 Why don't you learn to use proper punctuation you tang inang Pilipinoe!

[southd08]

are you calling Filipinos "MONKEYS???"

who'd u think you are? I know you're John Lennon, But that doesn't give u the right to call Filipinos as MONKEYS!!!! Shame on you!!

[xmarijeeemj]

@southd08 He was just pointing out that the people there were acting like a bunch of Monkeys. He's not calling Filipinos Monkeys, god don't be so stupid.

[StevenTalks1]

@southd08 You're an idiot. Are you going to dig John's grave? Filipinos are putas.

[beerborn]

John may have been kicked and pushed around by monkeys in the Philippines but, he was shot dead by a lunatic in America 3:06.

[jasartrip9598]

@beerborn there r lunatics everywhere, 1 in every area, but those monkeys in the phillipines are all lunatics

[KUPjay24]

@beerborn what do u mean monkeys? Filipinos are great people .!!

[StevenTalks1]

@beerborn No, John was killed by a born-again Christian. (Mark David Chapman)

[Traphik182]

How did Imelda marcos destroy the concert? BAKIT? sometimes philipinos are nasty i know cuz im a filipino what happen to the airport?

[cecildylan]

Tama ba yung narinig ko? they called us MONKEYS? TANG INA

[22erickS]

@cecildylan john said they were pushed around like monkeys....

[StevenTalks1]

@cecildylan Holy shit! What are you going to do about it? Dig up John's grave and piss on it for calling Filipinos monkeys in the 60's? You are an "unggoy-brained tarantado"!

[nightcrawler511]

what dvd is this?

[arjay0416]

the beetles suck anyways!! lol

[Sapphirestar1]

@arjay0416 Yeah the beetles suck but the Beatles certainly don't.

[gijaniesgotagun]

Being a Beatles fan all my life, I'm pretty appalled by how narrow minded they were. If I were a kid and I heard the Beatles were coming, but only the rich got to watch them, I'd probably boo them too. Especially since The Philippines is a very Catholic country and just months earlier John Lennon called The Beatles "Bigger than Jesus". They just dismissed the Philippines as this horrible place with horrible people without addressing why they were protesting.

[libralady1010]

@gijaniesgotagun Wrong. John made the apology for the Jesus remark the first week of August in Chicago in 1966. They played Manilla on July 4th, 1966. After they went to the BRITISH EMBASSY in Washington D.C. in 1964 and some woman cut off a piece of Ringo's hair, they swore they'd never go to any government sponsored events after that. Can tell you having lived in a foreign country -3rd World - myself all the rules change. And they DO change day-to-day in the 3rd World.

[TheSpecialK56]

@gijaniesgotagun First, anyone could see the Beatles--not “just the rich.” This was the very reason they didn’t want to see Imelda and her shoes. :)

Second, the “protest” was a set up: the fabs didn’t snub the president and had already declined the invite. Officials, however, decided to make a stink anyway.

Third, John’s Jesus statement was an observation of a fact, not a judgement.

Fourth, the fabs were critical of the country’s regime, not of the fans or filipinos in general.

[aryowailangitoyo97]

shame on phillipines

[pokelover95078]

@aryowailangitoyo97 Well put the shame to that stupid first lady imelda >:(

[hari081868]

nakakahiya tayo ! sayang we cant bring in Paul for a concert in the Philippines! '

He would be freighted

[aklanpinoy1l]

"would you play the philippines again?" ( love, love me do, you know, i love you!) what is up with the beatles' legend? i don't hear much buzz anymore of it unlike when in the '80's almost everyone talks about the beatles. 45 years had passed and 2 beatles are deceased, paul the other day i saw on vh1, (i think), singing, hey jude, while ringo, i saw in concert with his all-star band last year in an indian casino. ferdinand marcos is deceased while imelda is still active in politics. mabuhay!

[jovlex0294]

i am a pilipino but not all of filipinos are animal..sad to say thats is the worst concert by the beatles

[1856gazoo]

What a inconsiderate govt :) let music be the fun,..not the govt,s expectation.
