No More Concerts

[numbernine]

Is there any video or press statements of Brian Epstein announcing no more touring in 1966? That would be interesting to see how he handles that.
Even if it's just a statement the exact wording would be interesting to see as well...

Can't say as I've ever seen a vid where you hear it coming out of his own mouth. I've seen it in written word in articles that supposedly quote him.

Ok...do you know the exact wording or know where I could see the statement?

Nah, I read a lot of stuff that I don't save where it is.

I found this kind of interesting:

The Beatles were best known from early on for their stage performances, but they came to dislike performing live, as their popularity increased. They were used to playing whatever music they chose, but had to stick to their own songs to promote record sales. What had been an hour-plus show was cut to 20-30 minutes, not allowing the band their usual interaction or showmanship. Their stage amplifiers were suited to nightclubs and theaters, not the stadiums or amphitheaters public demand required, and it was impossible for the Beatles to hear each other onstage - even without the nonstop screaming from the crowds. (In-house sound systems were rare, primitive, and also lacking in volume.) Higher-powered amplifiers were not yet available. The music suffered under these conditions, and sometimes became a pantomime, with Ringo Starr playing only every other beat, and the rest of the band trying to just start and end songs at the same time. The backstage atmosphere was usually a rowdy party scene, and lost its appeal over time. After the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, their few live performances were for cameras, and invited audiences. (Their 1969 rooftop show was for whoever could hear them, on the street below, and was their last-ever public performance.).

MacFake must have been thinking of the following version of "Things we Said Today" where he STOPS in the middle of the song cause he is so horrible!

He TOTALLY ruins a GREAT Beatles song that can easily be heard over the crowd noise in this video of the Beatles! In my opinion "Things we Said Today" is one of the best songs Paul ever did! They quit touring cause the fakes did not have to chemistry and talent as the originals!
