The Beatles - Nowhere Man (Live at Circus-Krone-Bau in Munich, West Germany on 24 June 1966) Artist: The Beatles Song: Nowhere Man Concert film: Live at Circus-Krone-Bau in Munich, West Germany on 24 June 1966 The first shows were held at Munich’s 3,500-seat Circus-Krone-Bau at and 9 pm on 24 June. The Beatles wore matching dark green suits with silk lapels, designed by the new Chelsea boutique Hung On You. The 9 pm show was filmed by the West German ZDF network and first broadcast locally, in edited form, on 5 July. The Beatles held a rare backstage rehearsal in advance of the concert. According to musicologist Walter Everett, the Munich concert film shows the Beatles generally playing poorly amid the noise created by their fans and humorously attempting to remember the lyrics to the final song, “I’m Down“. Author Steve Turner writes that the tour was marked by average-quality performances masked by riotous screaming and that for the first time, the hysterical crowds were subjected to violent treatment and beatings by the host nation’s police force. The Beatles John Lennon - rhythm guitar, lead vocal Paul McCartney - bass guitar, harmony vocal George Harrison - lead guitar, harmony vocal Ringo Starr - drums
