## Resource

By 1966 John, Paul, George, and Ringo were entering the third phase of their career. No longer playing the clubs, chasing success. No longer interested in the trappings of Beatlemannia. By 1966 developing their creativity and songwriters and musicians was where they were at. The Beatles were no longer pop stars; they were becoming serious rock musicians. In this episode we look at this transition, through the final days of the touring Beatles. Looking at the evidence as to why they gave up touring to become a studio-based band.
