With work on Revolver just completed, the Beatles played their first ever dates in Asia in late June 1966. By that time they had grown weary of the rigours and confinements of touring, but Japan was a novelty they were looking forward to. Despite finding their visit uncomfortably regimented, their shows at the hallowed Budokan on June 30th and July 1st , were a great success, and broadcast on Nippon Television.
