Item History
In late June 1966, The Beatles traveled to Tokyo amid immense security to play five historic shows at the Nippon Budokan. Promoted by The Yomiuri Shimbun, these legendary concerts represent one of the final touring stops before the group completely retired from live performance in August 1966. This large-format programme is an original 1966 artifact preserved directly from those historic performances.
