When I saw the Beatles concert TV program thru my parents’ TV, I was only 13 year boy in the remote region of Japan in 1966 July. It was not good quality of video program yet, but I enjoyed seeing real Beatles performance at that time. Now I’m really impressed to see this video. Quite good quality of sound and picture.
Well, there is a story behind it. The Beatles, in the last two years of touring, were so used to not hearing themselves because of all that unholy screaming , that their musicianship really went downhill. They just couldn’t be bothered to even put anything resembling soul into it. Why? No one could hear the music! That all changed at the first Japan concert. The audience were silent and polite (no doubt aided by the fact that there were so many policemen deployed, an average of one every three members of the audience). The road manager Neil Aspinall recounts that they sounded like shit, the harmonies out of tune and the music lazy. The Beatles were so shocked at how crummy they played, they put in a whole afternoon of rehearsals in the hall of the hotel they were staying in, in order to get their shit together. Which they did. The footage we can all see is from the second concert. Apple withdrew the first concert. The people who saw it (including me) they all agree: an all-too-rare opportunity to see the greatest band ever sounding like a two-bit garage school combo....
Japanese crowd is always like that. Watch "R - Roselia live" (In that live concert, they are also performing in Nippon Budokan, which is where The Beatles are performing in this video)
You´right almost no screaming there. Please listen carefully to Harrison´s riff on Day Triper was awful. Sorry. Makes me wonder if he played on the original recording of the single ( EP or whatever) or maybe a session guitarrist did the job for him.
The Beatles wanted money and they realized people went to their concerts to see them not to hear them , that made them careless about quality music performance
Some Trivia of Budokan Live: The footage were filmed by Baseball TV live team of the broadcaster NTV, because there were rare experience of live show in a big concert hall in 1960's. John and George looked like being with downcast eye, because the spot light toward the stage was so strong. NTV producer praised Paul's professionalism. The sound of this footage seemed to record in empty arena seat. Audiences were omitted from arena seat for security sake. Police strictly prohibited audiences standing up while the show. This footage were designed as the peak at "Yesterday" , most popular song in Japan. Dissolve was only used in "Yesterday". NTV owned AC-100 Super Deluxe amplifier was used in this afternoon show. The Beatles's AC-100 was set from the night show of this day, because it reached Budokan in this afternoon. A audience of Night show of this day said that George's guitar sounded like as "Paperback Writer on Record" . A audience of this show said that Paul's Bass and Ringo's Bass drum were so strong and impressive. Epstein refused broadcasting the show of June 30 night and asked NTV to film July 1st afternoon show adding footage of audiences. Epstein asked NTV filming the night show of this day but NTV refused. NTV already spent so expensive color VTR tapes in two show. TV broadcasting of the show was already set on this night.
Very first rock concert utilizing legendary Nippon Budokan Judo Arena. Beatles had 5 sold out shows at Budokan just 2 months before their final live concert at Candlestick park.
Thanks for uploading the whole gig. Interesting to see the opening act as well. It seems Ringo was having a bit of a rough day, at least he sometimes does not look so amused. They all seem to calm down at least a little bit, compared to previous concerts. But they still sound great nonetheless. I like If I Needed Someone. The only Harrison song they performed live.
By this time they were sick and tired of being the Fab 4 and couldn't give a shit how they sounded,they wanted off this insane roller coaster ride where nobody could hear them anyway and wanted to stay in the studio...thus...Sgt Pepper!
What is remarkable is that, few months before issuing "Revolver", right alongside Paul's exploration of Luciano Berio and John Cage 's avant-garde, George's study of the sitar and Hindustani raga, John's immersion in the hippy acid-rock coming from America, they were still hawking the same old songs, many of which dragged around since their Hamburg dsys. It was demeaning towards their new-found prowess, it was boring and you can read in their faces that they considered it nothing more than a day job at the office.....
The acoustics are cheesy. This is a level that makes me laugh. In Japan, there was only such acoustics. This is a valuable record. But this acoustics is terrible, isn't it? I feel sorry for them.

Beatles live concer vodca in jjapan 1960
１９６６年当日なのにこれだけの映像があるだけで凄いです！
ありがとうございます( ￣▽￣)
今見ても、熱狂興奮するんだから、当時のファン特に若い女性があんなに興奮するのはわかる。
アタッチメントの無き時代
ジョージはよくリードを入れるときギターの（名称忘れました）ノズルと言うか上下にやってました、アイフィールはツインリードのはじまりか！ポールのベースはさすが！良くハーモニーもどこに行ってもうるさいのに、武道館公演は貴重ですラバーソウルでたか？ですから
コメント欄にもありました、リマスターして見たいものです
ありがとうビートルズ 青春でした。70の爺より。
この高画質と高音源の映像は、いつ出てくるんだろ（泣）
日本でもちゃんと歌ってくれていてうれしい限りです。律儀な働き者の若者4人、ありがとう！
でもマイクが左右に揺れてポールが歌いにくそうだったね、なんせ武道館で日本で最初の音楽ライブだったから仕方なかったのかな。
@@rockfukuoka 映像ソフト化された前日(6月30日)の演奏はそうでしたね。この7月１日からはマイクも改善され、きちんと演奏を聴いてくれる日本の観客に驚いた４人もチューニングをし直し初日とは雲泥の差の演奏をしました。
うーん、リンゴはムッツリだし、トチリは多いし、４人にとっては日本公演は数あるお仕事の一つだったのかな？という印象
少しあとの同じセトリのアメリカ公演と聞き比べてそう思った

10 years later.....Cheap Trick would grace the stage and provide one of the best life performances of all time.
The Fab 4 did not just make music , they made magic .
Very polite crowd...no screaming during songs....Beatles couldn't say "We can't hear ourselves" here.

The Beatles live in Japan 1966 singing if I need some one classic song from the sixties good song fifty years old still sounds good now
The screaming from girls here reminds me of KISS at Budokan in 1977 and Cheap Trick at Budokan in 1978. Budokan magic !
One of the rarest concerts to exist. Why is there no full one?
if I upload it on youtube it will be copyrighted, so to watch the full concert there is a link in the description

武道館で最初にコンサートを行なったバンド
日本のＴＶで放送されたバージョン。
これはかなりの高画質だ。
曲がブツ切りなのは残念なのだが・・・。
Yes the songs are boring because we know that they did better songs in later years 😂 . We love the Beatles more than than we love their music 😂

why won't they put this out on official DVD - it pops up on UA-cam - they yank it down ...over and over.....so..what are they going to do with it..?
懐かしい、
Thank you.... Obrigado !!!
Thanks Japan, we can see good sound and video quality. Unlike the usual horrible sound that makes some think that it was the Beatles the bad musicians
Budokan → Budoukan
The Beatles are is the best just like Naomi we went to Morelia Michoacán México
By this time they were sick and tired of being the Fab 4 and couldn't give a shit how they sounded,they wanted off this insane roller coaster ride where nobody could hear them anyway and wanted to stay in the studio...thus...Sgt Pepper!
This was in 1966 and it looks like it was filmed in 1986 it might have been the type of camera they were using to film
It's because this copy seems to come from a VHS. The original film quality must be better
RCA TK-42 or RCA TK-43. Awful cameras honestly
@@animal7037 No I meant the movement is much smoother than the other Beatles footage
@@gdawg1585 NTSC TV footage is smoother than film footage.
I meant RCA TK-42/43 had worse colorimetry than other colour TV cameras of that period
わぁ！わぁー
I love it but i just wish they had their vocals up louder
They probably tuned down the vocals because of their audience
Wow. I’d heard the Fabs gave short concerts.
Aug 1966....I remember all these songs live...the Japanese fans r VERY RESTRAINED!!;
Amazing!
ありがとうニャア🐱ポールマッカートニー
You are lucky. I tried to upload another of the shows and Apple blocked it
Can I watch is somewhere? Google drive?

Awe BULLSHIT
Good observation ! I guess the selection of music may have been to cater for the Japanese audience.
They played nowhere man, if i needed someone , paperback writer on this concert hands down my favorite recorded from the beatles of all Time
Wow! Thanks mate, do you have this concert in HD? can you share for download? :)

日本ではあまりにも人気で、観光しようと出歩くなど、とても出来ない雰囲気だったと伝説化しています。その通りだったんでしょうか？他国で行われていたコンサートに比べると日本のファンは反応がおとなし目だとは思うのですが、案外Beatlesは心地良さそうに演奏をされているような気がしました。
質問コーナー化していますが、素朴な質問。ドラマーのドラムを叩くタイミングや何れを鳴らすかは、ミュージックを聞きながらの即興に依るもんなんですか？
右翼からの脅迫でホテルから出られなかったというのが真相です。ただ、唯一ポールだけがお忍びで抜け出し短時間ですが皇居周辺を歩けています。
ジョンレノンも同行していたカメラマンのふりをしてホテルから抜け出し青山辺りの古美術店を訪れています。
ビートルズ達は欧米の観客と比べて日本の観客が大人しく聴いているので、当初は戸惑いもあったのかと。演奏ミスも判ってしまうし、反省してリハーサルも入念に行ったとの事です。
かなり画質いいですね、リマスター版ですか？
この4ヶ月後の11月にJohn は、ロンドン•インディカギャラリーでYoko Ono と運命的な出会いをする。
Do Japanese people like Yoko?? Most people don't like her, I don't.
Disciplined audience,the japanese people..
That's why I go for that Japanese Yoko Ono.
声援は熱狂しているが、立ち上がる人が一人もいないのは、今見ると不思議。尤も、日本のコンサートで全員立ち上がったのは
1971年のグランドファンク・レイルロード後楽園球場公演。土砂降りの野外だったから、そりゃ坐ってられないわな( ´艸｀)
This a weird thought but this is only 10 years after the devastating 24 hour Tokyo bombing.
21 years

Lack of sound In person ? Or the video quality ?

よく見て下さい。ポール・マッカートニーは別人です！！
あれ？ポールが入れ替わったのは１９６９年じゃなかったか？ｗ
@@dobonful さん
いえ1966年11月9日に自動車事故が起きたのでしばらく経ってからストロベリーフィールズのアルバム出来たんですよね。誤魔化すには時間が必要だったんでしょうね。ライブも突如中止になりましたし。
これは1966年の7月頃だからまだ死んでないので別人ではない。真面目にコメして笑。
この時期はリンゴがやる気なさすぎてなんだかなあですね オカズ1つ入れない曲ばかり
Ringoは何故あんなに不快な表情なの？
前の演奏バンドがベースギターを蹴飛ばし、ポールが怒ったとか?
武道館に集まった若者たちに本当のファンは何人いたか？ 当時レコードはそんなに売れていなかった。 世界中の人気にあやかって見にきた興味が先走ったにわかファンがほとんどだった。
おサル国での服が安っぽいんだよね。
おサルなんかへのサービスはそんなもんでかまわないけどね。

Terrible. Tired Beatles!
前座の超ダサいメンバーがビートルズに見られてめっちゃ恥かしかった、この時代に矢沢率いるCAROLが前座やったらジョンもポールもたまげてただろうなって思う。矢沢はビートルズのプリーズミスターポストマンを聴いてこんなかっこいいサウンドができるバンドやりたいって思ってギター買った人間だからね。しかしめっちゃ歌のリズムテンポが遅いね？
