In the second video, it's very obvious that Paul was quite a bit shorter than Johnny !

That's cool. I never saw the Beatles do an electric version of Yesterday before.

They can never seem to do a live version of 'I'm Down' without cracking up.

These German 1966 concerts are very creepy. Who are the goons surrounding them on, and in front of the stage in the white shirt and black tie uniforms?
Why and how was the video master tape of the entire concert ERASED?
The Beatles themselves look uncomfortable. No talk of a "triumphant return" to West Germany, nor of going back to Hamburg, was there? Did they speak or sing in German, like they used to ?
Were there Nazi/Neo-Nazi/far-right wing threats against them in the West German Fatherland, like there were that year, for their 1966 tour, in that other Axis nation of Japan, and in the United States (especially the South)?

The guys that surrounded them where police officers. The concert took place in the circus krone building in munich (not in hamburg) and was a part of the so called "bravo blitz tournee". Since the building was the place of a stationary circus so the beatles where located in the center of the hall and needed more security around them. There exists more footage of this concert because the police of the city of munich planned to produce a educational film about coping with mass-hysteria for its officers. The film was never finished but some footage of it was shown in the documentary series "100 Jahre" ("100 years, 1998) in the episode that dealt with the year 1966.

Thanks for the information foxokles. I knew it was in Munich and not Hamburg. I was wondering, did they return to Hamburg? John Lennon said once "I was born in Liverpool, I grew up in Hamburg." I'd also like to see or hear a clip of the Beatles speaking German in West Germany in 1966.

There were to concerts in Hamburg on the 26th of June (one day after Munich). The whole tour was done in just four days so I don't think that the Beatles had much time for interviews and meetings with the press. But maybe they did an Interview with the BRAVO-magazine, since the publisher of BRAVO arranged the tour.
Edit: The concerts in Hamburg were two days after Munich, the day before they played in Essen.

Okay, thanks for the details foxokles. We've heard virtually nothing about their (triumphant?) return to Hamburg.

Well, it wasn't really triumphant because the whole tour was done in just four(!) days and the concerts only lasted for 60 minutes or so. Certainly it was a huge success for the BRAVO-magazine.
And to answer the question about neonazi-threats ageinst them: There were none, but the more conservatie media had a rather sceptical point of view, most famously the quote of the stern-magazine which called the Beatles the "internationale Pilzvergiftung" (international mushroom-poisoning, referring to the mobtop-haircut which is called pilzkopf [mushroom-head] in german). Still it was a sign of things to come, because Germany in the late 60's became a battlefield between the (mostly socialistic oriented) youth, the generation of their parents (which were still very conservative or influenced by the nazis). The german society underwent great changes in these years and the Beatles are commonly seen as one of the main influences of that period of german history.

I'm not sure what the original videos showed exactly, but I've found some others from the Germany '66 leg of their tour...What struck me immediately as they were entering the stage was that I'd never seen that Paul in motion before. His body language, manner, gait, everything, is completely different to Pauls I've seen in other (non-Germany) '66 tour videos, and other videos from pre and post Germany '66. I'm not saying that all of those videos were necessarily of the same Paul, but this one in particular has a very noticeable gait and way of holding his head and shoulders that just stands out like neon. I've seen this one's face before, notably in the '66 smoke and bad nose job pic.
Does anyone know if there were any terms imposed on "Paul" about re-entering the country after the German arson event got him and George sent home?
Also, notice how long and straight this John's nose is.
