The Beatles' studio years began when, after a period of several years spanning their early period in Germany, the era of Beatlemania in the UK and their American tours, the Beatles ceased to perform live concerts and devoted their efforts more fully to creating new material in the recording studio.〔Miles (1998), pp.293-295〕 In August 1966, the Beatles performed their last concert before paying fans,〔 and returning to the studio in November to record ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' after a seven-week holiday. The album was released in June 1967, and that same month, the first live global television link in history was engineered as the Beatles performed "All You Need Is Love" to TV viewers worldwide, while at the same time creating the recording for that song's release.〔Miles (1998), p.54〕 Two months after "All You Need Is Love", in August 1967, the Beatles met the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for the first time. During this time, the band's manager Brian Epstein died. The extent of the Maharishi's influence on the Beatles would be revealed by their next two albums, many of the songs for which they composed during their stay with him in India the following year,〔Miles (1998), p.397〕 but not before the band had received their first major negative press, with the TV film ''Magical Mystery Tour'' receiving disparaging reviews.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Magical Mystery Tour ) Retrieved: 2 July 2007〕 On returning from India, the Beatles formed Apple Corps to replace Epstein's management, and once again concentrated their efforts in the recording studio. However, divisions and dissent now started to drive the band members apart from each other, and Starr quit the band for a period, leaving McCartney to perform drums on several of the album tracks then recorded. ==The end of touring== During the recording sessions for ''Revolver'', tape looping and early sampling were introduced in a complex mix of ballad, R&B, soul, and world music. The Beatles performed their last concert before paying fans at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on 29 August 1966.〔〔"The Beatles Anthology" DVD 2003 (Episode 6 - 0:21:34) McCartney talking about Candlestick Park.〕 (Some people were disappointed that the Beatles performed no songs from ''Revolver''.) From then on, the Beatles concentrated almost exclusively on recording, but didn't cease making films entirely. Less than seven months after recording ''Revolver'', the Beatles returned to Abbey Road Studios on 24 November 1966 to begin the 129-day recording sessions for their eighth album, ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'', released on 1 June 1967. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Beatles' studio years」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
