The Beatles Live in Manila July 4 1966
In July 1966, when The Beatles toured the Philippines, they unintentionally snubbed the nation’s first lady, Imelda Marcos, who had expected the group to attend a breakfast reception at the Presidential Palace. When presented with the invitation, Brian Epstein politely declined on behalf of the group, as it had never been the group’s policy to accept such “official” invitations.
The group soon found that the Marcos regime was unaccustomed to accepting “no” for an answer. After the snub was broadcast on Philippine television and radio, all of The Beatles’ police protection disappeared. The group and their entourage had to make their way to Manila airport on their own. At the airport, road manager Mal Evans was beaten and kicked, and the band members were pushed and jostled about by a hostile crowd. Once the group boarded the plane, Epstein and Evans were ordered off, and Evans said, “Tell my wife that I love her.” Epstein was forced to give back all the money that the band had earned while they were there before being allowed back on the plane.
Yellow Submarine - Best of Both Versions
There were two versions of the cartoon movie "Yellow Submarine" that differ in the portion from the latter part of "All You Need Is Love" to "Hey Bulldog". Version ONE, which integrates the plot line of "two sets of Beatles" seen in "Hey Bulldog", was used for the DVD release. Version TWO has two sub-versions: (a) includes "Hey Bulldog", and (b) does not. Version 2b was used for the previous videocassette release. Those familiar with the DVD version will see that in version 2, they actually sing some of the LYRICS to "Baby, You're a Rich Man"!
Here is an edit created of the scenes between "All You Need Is Love" and "Hey Bulldog" that encompasses the content of BOTH versions.
