They had NO MONITORS! Try singing in front of the world with the loudest amps of the day...amps especially made to be (they thought) loud enough to fill Budakons. Then get two people to sing close harmonies with you in the same conditions. Not easy.
the PDs,the government,every staff members in Japan did their best they could to offer The Beatles to have a good stay,have good lives they could.since the stay,especially John loved Japan.
by 66 they just didn't care anymore, but between 62 and 65, they proved hundreds of times that they were an awesome live band, and they pulled off great live shows in extreme conditions that would scare any artist today
It is a shame that the Beatles pre dated modern stage sound. They would have never made it to this point if they weren't a great live band. In the small venues they played before Beatlemania had set in they were considered a great live band. They are a great live band on the rooftop in 69 too. As for these shows Neil Aspinall remembered that the first "early" show put on by the Beatles was "rough"...he meant they're playing/singing. He said the 2nd show was better.
Despite the fact that we are all Beatles fans, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The fact here is, the vocal harmonies are off. Sure, it's because of the lack of a good sonic environment and it's not their fault. And we all know the Beatles can sing, but in this case they are off and an observer should be allowed to make a comment to that effect. Having said that, Beatles Forever!
even though there's no monitors, poor harmonies (have you tried to sing without hearing you at all?? plus trying to harmonize with two other guys on that situation???), instrumentally this version kicks ass, not like day tripper from the same gig, which they tend to play slower even than the recorded one. Anyway, see what happens when you're fed up with live gigs and screamin' fans. The day the beatles quit playing live, the music concert industry began to take live sound seriously.
To be honest, most of their contemporaries didn`t make better. Nor Stones, nor Yardbirds. OK, Animals and The Who did.

Unfortunately the Beatles were off tune in a lot of their harmonies in this performance. Have to say this as much as I really love their music!!
