I uploaded the full concert of this first. In my other account TheBEATLESMania100 but since my account got suspended I had to upload it here.

From June 30 to July 2 of 1966, the Beatles performed five concerts at the Budokan arena in the Japanese capital of Tokyo. The band's arrival in Japan, originally due for June 28, was greatly delayed by a hurricane, and they did not land in the country until 3 AM of the following day. All told, the five concerts attracted 25,000 fans, with all shows selling out, and the telecast delivered an astounding 60% television rating. This was reported heavily in the Japanese media, who characterized the unexpected fan frenzy as a "Beatles hurricane," obviously referring to the weather that preceded their arrival.

  • It's simply charming to see just how disorganised and frankly unprofessional concerts were back then!

    Messing around with their amps and tuning their guitars at the start, with no hint of a roadie rushing on to help Paul out with his mischievously elusive microphone. And 'new single' Paperback Writer was an absolute shambles! To be fair, it's probable they barely had time to rehearse the song since recording it.

    The Beatles are still the greatest band that ever lived though.

  • I saw them in 1966 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo. You absolutely couldn't hear them with all the screaming, including my girlfriend.

  • i want just to know who is the ashole dislike this video ..... ts ts ts ts .....

  • anti Japanese ?

  • The Beatles were extremely burnt out and bored with touring at this stage, due to the crazy schedules and atmosphere, the primitive sound equipment and touring accomodations of the era. They would quit two months later. They are a bit ragged here and there, but sound a lot better than I remember this the first time I saw it years ago. Still they were just going through the motions at this point. Lennon didn't even bother getting on the organ during "I'm Down", which he normally did.

  • Ringo looks... very bored.

  • John and George alternating the solo! awesome!

    

  • hahahah! that microphone kept moving! Paul had to grab it back through the whole time:P

  • God, I Love How Paul Dances With His Bass And Girls Start Screaming Louder Aroud 13:11, He's So Sexy! xP

  • Ladies and Gentleman...THE BEATLES!!!!...In all their glory...Thanks for posting.
