## Resource

Our look at the tour on the verge of the controversial "bigger than" US tour of 1966. The Beatles run through Germany on a Luxury Train, spend two days in a plane getting to Japan, and play some shows that George Harrison remembered as being questionable, and took off for what is remembered as the most harrowing of trips. Pt.2 next week with author David Guerrero as we cover Manila, the Philippines. #madeonzencastr
