The US tour really opened on August 15th with a concert scheduled in New York at the Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets baseball team. This was the first time in the history of music that a stadium was used for a rock concert ! Seen by 55,600 fans, it created a new world record for a pop concert in terms of attendance and gross revenue. The Beatles' share of the $304,000 box-office takings was also a record - $160,000.

June 30-July 2, 1966: The Beatles performed five concerts at the Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Two shows, on June 30 and July 1, were videotaped. At both shows, they performed "Rock and Roll Music", 'She's A Woman", "If I Needed Someone", "Day Tripper", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Baby's in Black", "I Feel Fine", "Yesterday", "Nowhere Man", "Paperback Writer", and "I'm Down." The Jun 30 show features The Beatles performing in dark suits, while the July 1 show has The Beatles in lighter suits. Both shows have been licensed for release by Apple in Japan, and therefore have easily made it into the bootleg market in the US. A segment of "Paperback Writer" from Jun 30 as well as "Rock and Roll Music" and "Yesterday" from July 1 are included on "The Beatles Anthology," Tape # 5
