The Bealtes made it over to Japan in 1966 to play at the Budakon, an ancient wrestling stadium that never hosted a rock concert prior to this (were there rock concerts prior?). Here’s a true example of the talent of the group. This is one of the most poorly set stages in history….no monitors, no boom stands (love George turning the mic several times), mic feedback, and Ringo up in the air probably out of direct earshot of the band. It spells disaster, but being The Beatles, they pulled it off and then some.
George’s 12 string Ric is even intune….check out the harmonies of John and George without the use of monitors.
Oh yeah, and to make things even better, they WROTE the two songs they are playing.
