MANILA, Philippines — The Beatles ’ experience in Manila in July 1966 was nightmarish so that it’s unlikely the Fab Four survivors Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr would ever consider coming back to perform here again. If The Beatles sang “Get back to where you once belonged,” there was surely no reference to Manila.
This portrait of The Beatles was made from over 15,000 jelly beans and is on display in a Liverpool walkway leading towards the Mersey River. The Beatles’ set list had 11 songs for the night show: Rock and Roll Music, She’s A Woman, If I Needed Someone, Baby’s In Black, Day Tripper, I Feel Fine, Yesterday, I Wanna Be Your Man, Nowhere Man, Paperback Writer and I’m Down. The matinee excluded Nowhere Man.
In 2003 or 37 years after The Beatles’ visit, the man who organized the event spoke about it. Ramon Ramos of Cavalcade International Productions said he paid $50,000 for The Beatles to perform in Manila and took the financial brunt of the backlash. Police withdrew from securing the turnstiles of the two Beatles shows and the fan overflow was uncontrollable. With the gates unmanned, Ramos lost his shirt and pants.
After Manila, The Beatles embarked on their fourth and last US tour, winding up at Candlestick Park in San Francisco where tickets weren’t sold out and protesters picketed denouncing John Lennon for his remarks about being more popular than Jesus Christ. It marked the end of The Beatles’ performing on stage and the opening of a new chapter where John, Paul, George Harrison and Ringo began their solo careers.
