In making these two albums, the group recorded music that had become increasingly difficult to reproduce on stage. But that problem only scratched the surface of problems the band would face in 1966. The Asian leg of the tour began with controversy as right-wing Japanese nationalists protested at the staging of their concerts in Tokyo at the Nippon Budokan in June and July which was built for the staging of the martial arts rather than musical performances. The performances went ahead but there was heavy security to protect the group from both fans and protesters, meaning the Beatles were forced to stay in their suite at the Tokyo Hilton, although Lennon escaped for a short time. NEMS staff photographer, Robert Whitaker, remembered: "He [Lennon] snuck out using my name, on the basis, I think, that all white people probably looked the same to the Japanese. He got away with it for a while, but then somebody recognised him and he was dragged back to the hotel." Artists who have played the Budokan since then (with no protests against their appearances) include Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, KISS, Cheap Trick, and Beyoncé. Later in July, 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, but 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 (fearing he would be imprisoned or executed) said, "Tell my wife that I love her." Epstein was forced to give the tax authorities £6,800 worth of Philippine peso notes from the Manila shows, and had to sign the tax bond verifying the exchange before being allowed back on the plane.

HUY TAMA NA YAN!!!! wag na po matagal na yan patay na nga yung iba anu ba yan sana dati niyo nalang yan pinag-awayan naku naman!!

And the people bad mouthing one another, You guys should be a shammed of yourselves. Your both Filipino and your behaving like 5 year olds. Grow up. What's the big deal? This was A LONG TIME AGO! You two are giving people bad impressions over Filipino's.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS FIGHTING OVER THIS? So what if John Lennon said that The Beatles are more Popular than Jesus Christ? He specifically said He was sorry and He didn't mean it. Now Marcos, He was a GREAT leader and even though I'm 15 and I wasn't born when he was the president of The Philippines, I can truly say he did a Good job. THIS WAS A LONG TIME AGO. SO GROW UP. IT WAS THE PAST... I BET RINGO OR PAUL DON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. :D

Yes...Tomorrow Never Knows, Within You Without You, Long, Long Long....A DAY IN A LIFE. Yes, all that POP music. You're right..nothing good or innovative ever came out of the Beatles. You can say that because you are the epitome of music criticism. Thanks!

"An ordinary passenger? He doesn't get kicked, does he??" XD

Sheesh!!! Lennon did not call all Filipinos monkeys. He was referring to the goons who were shoving them around at the airport. Doesn't anyone understand context?

"good for LENNON! good that he has been shot dead! he'll jam with satan, singing "imagine" LOL" Alice, you are a very sick, sad person.
