The Beatles introduced audiences to many of the major elements of the psychedelic sound during this period, with guitar feedback in " I Feel Fine " ( 1964 ), " Norwegian Wood " from their 1965 Rubber Soul album using a sitar, and the employment of reversed audio tapes on their 1966 B-side " Rain ".

Harrison used this guitar on the song " If I Needed Someone " and during The Beatles ' 1966 tours.

George Harrison experimented with slide guitar during the latter half of The Beatles ' career, first using the technique on an early outtake recording of " Strawberry Fields Forever " in 1966.

Similarly, although The Beatles ' productions were credited to George Martin throughout their recording career, many sources now attest that Lennon and McCartney in particular had an increasing influence on the production process as the group's career progressed, and especially after the band retired from touring in 1966.

One memorable aspect of the show was the regular closing number, where Johnny Young would croon a ballad version of The Beatles ' song " All My Loving " ( with which Young had had an Australian hit in 1966 ), accompanied by the entire cast, in an almost lullaby style, individually wishing all of the cast good night.

In 1966 The Beatles, regarded as one of the most popular and influential rock bands of their era, ran into trouble with many of their American fans when John Lennon jokingly offered his opinion that Christianity was dying and that the Beatles were " more popular than Jesus now ".

By the time The Beatles stopped touring in late 1966, their promotional films, like their recordings, had become highly sophisticated.

In May 1966 they filmed two sets of colour promotional clips for their current single " Rain "/" Paperback Writer " all directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who went on to direct The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus and The Beatles final film Let It Be.

Country influences can be heard on rock records through the 1960s, including tracks on the Beatles for Sale album ( 1964 ) ( including " I'll Cry Instead ", " Baby's in Black " and " I Don't Want to Spoil the Party "), on the Rolling Stones " High and Dry " ( 1966 ), as well as Buffalo Springfield's " Go and Say Goodbye " ( 1966 ) and " Kind Woman " ( 1968 ).

Relocated from central London in 1966, the studios played host to many of rock and pop's greatest stars down the decades, from The Beatles, who recorded the original tracks of " All You Need Is Love " in Barnes, to The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Queen, Eric Clapton, Ella Fitzgerald, Harry Nilsson, The Verve, Massive Attack, Duran Duran, Coldplay, Madonna and Björk.

The Beatles performed at the stadium during their final North American Tour on August 21, 1966.

This was his first performance at the stadium since The Beatles ' final tour in 1966.

In addition, an unused shot from the Please Please Me photo session featuring the boys in short hair and cleancut attire, was used for the cover of the Beatles ' first double-disc greatest-hits compilation entitled 1962 – 1966 ( aka " The Red Album ").

Boston's Remains, though only able to make it onto Billboard's Bubbling Under charts, had enough of a following and reputation to open for the Beatles during their 1966 U. S. tour.

By early 1966 he had become the band's spokesman, interviewed separately from the band for the BBC television series A Whole Scene Going admitting that the band used drugs and that he considered The Beatles ' backing tracks " flippin ' lousy ".

Examples include The Beatles ' The Beatles ' Hits EP from 1963, and The Troggs ' Troggs Tops EP from 1966, both of which collected previously released tracks.

It's McCartney's first public concert since The Beatles ' 1966 US tour.
